THE GIRL OF THE DAY.
If Weak She Is Sent Out of Doors to Build Up and Physical Defects
 Corrected.

Nowadays if a girl loses color. be- comes anemic, turns stoop-shouldered, loses interest in life, she is not doped with cod liver oil and eoopaI I'D in q steam-heated flat. but she i3 taken promptly from school and given course in outdoor life. says a writer in St. Louis Globe Democrat You can see the little daughters of the rich, bare-footed and hatless, playing on private beaches In the summer. You can find girls In their teens camping in the Adlron- datks and Catskills every summer, sleeping on pine boughs in the open air and training like athletes under q young woman who has studied for just slch service The average American womans waist is two inches larger around in l906 than it was in 1860, and her respiratory organs have gained by the change. The belle of the first em- pire laced her stays unmercifully and pinehed her feet relentlessly. The well-brought-up girl of to-day treats her body properly because she knows the innermost workings of this mar velous piece of divine mechanism. When she is told 10 de certain thing. she asks ~why?' and receives an an sWer.
 Fifty years ago if girl was born With some terrible defect of face or figure, such as a club foot, a twisted shoulder or d curved spine, she either underwent a rare surgical operation tafter the aflietion had been given ample time to get it's grip upon her supple young body). or she went through life resigned" like her del ieate' sister. To-day the mother brides herself on her baby daughters sturdy figure If the slightest defect appears, it is immediately treated by skillful manipulation while the bones are soft and tractable There Is 10 waiting to see whether it develops iu- to something serious Anything that threatens her health or her beauty is taken in hand promptly.
 If her hair is thin and coarse, she i5 sent 10 hair culturist for treatment Her great-auut nursed her hurt pride until she Was old enough to buy ehignon or switch. If her hands are not just the right shape she does not weep over them in 16-year-old secrecy, but is sent daily to q maniearist. IT her complexion is muddy her mother does not trust to her outgrowiag the aftliction. She calls in. not a mistress of cosmetics. but physician, who traces the trouble to it's cause and -e- moves the latter.

AS ENGLISH IS WRITTEN.
Efforts of a Portuguese Hotel Keeper and a Frenchman to Use the
 Language.

The publication which was once brought out in Portugal bearing the title English as She Is Spoke" has for long time enjoyed worldwide reputation. Tourists on the continent of Europe sometimes come across ex- amples of English quite as curious as that of the Portuguese author
 In the bedroom of hotel at Genoa the following notice was found: The lamentations of the walters are obliged to be made at the bureau" It was in a hotel also, not church that the following request was made in writ ing; Visitors are prayed into dinner when the bell rings, that they may not disturb the order of the service. !" There IS a hotel advertisement in Calais station 10 the following effect: Quite a peculiar animation resides at this fashionable spot of Paris. In the rear the grand opera of a splendid ar chiteeture on one side of the Grand Hotel, entirely made afresh and in a more extensive way is the meeting Of all strangers of distinction" Finally, this curious legend has recently been seen on a notice board on garden wall in Jersey. one of the Channel islands: Any dog found in this gar. den the proprietors of the dog paid one pound sterling for each times

men than you do. and really only meant 1t for the best when I advised you to give young Grantham plenty of room. As for going to tea with fellows and that, l shouldn't have thought that Mollies was an example you'd want to follow after what has happened. l don't want to be mean about her, but I'd thought you were rather a different sort of girl.
 As 1t happens I've got to come to town on Saturday morning to see about some new tools. Couldn't you give up an afternoon to me. instead of to Grantham? Let's go and do a matinee together.

Dentist Not Owner of Tooth

At Gera, in central Germany. gen. tleman who had been suffering from toothache made up his mind to have tooth out. The stump proved a diffi- cult one to draw. and when it was taken out was of such curious shape that the dentist declared that he would keep it as a curi- osity. His patient thought he would like to keep it himself. and claimed it; but the dentist. on the ground that tooth, when drawn with the free consent of a patient, is owner less property as soon as 1t leaves the jaw. refused to give it up The patient entered an action against the dentist. who has had to deliver up the molar.

 New Haven Com. Ian

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 15.
 Ny Dear Madge: Here are the snapshots l promised you. deyel- oped them the day I got back. hope you are all right. l enjoyed my holi- i. day at Christmas very much, thanks to your keeping things lively all the time. The only part I didn't like was being chaffed about Mollies engage ment. Of course I laughed and tried 10 take no notice. but I did mind. Especially mothers saying that she thought I was so devoted 10 Mollie. and wondered I took 1t so calmly. So l was. and so I am now, and I'd give anything to see that fellow out of the way.
 The other day was reading one of her letters through. and l must say l blame her little. Anyone would say if they read them that she not only encouraged me. but led me dis tinctfy 10 understand that she cared about mo. am suE4ali her people thought so too, for I was the first to De told of her engagement.
 +AlAIbAr-h tatt ob uN tttllH iOi thaA girl. think she has treated me rather badly. Sid always said she was a fiirt, but I didn't think SO. However, it's all over now. "Once hit. twice shy is my motto, and shall never give myself the chance of loving another girl. I don't know why l am telling all this but I know you were an ad mirer of Mollie's too, and then you're SO jolly sympathetic. and always seem to understand a fellow.
 Sid told me that last year. before I went to Bar Harbor, he and Mollie used to have long talks on the beach. but she always led the conversation round to me, and seemed very keen on my going down there.
 shall almost hate to meet her If we go down there this summer You're coming though. aren't you? Uncle Fred said something about talk ing the cottage next ours.
 I'd better shut up now. The one thing 1 ask you. Madgie. is please please don't say anything about this 10 anybody. Sid Is the only one who knows. Believe me, your affectionate cousin.
