Likes Six Petticoats

There is self-respect in a silk pet
ticoat that is not even given by
becoming hat" said the small woman.
~ silk pettieoat gives a woman the
thing she so often lacks-presence. II
she comes into a room with her skirts
slnklng about her to speak pictur-
esquoly; If they wiad about her feet,
and she feels that they are falling in
ungraoeful folds. how can she impress
anyone with the fact that she Is a
woman Of affairs?
If, on the other hand, she feels be-
meath the cloth the crisp silk; if as
she walks there is a suspicion Of a
rustic; If she knows that her skirt
hangs with grace and elegance she
raises her head. puts her chin In the
air. ana makes her appearance with
all the assurance possible.
"If." continued .he woman, Il had
but q small sum of money and 50 had
to choose between new hat or a silk
petticoat, I should spend my last cent
for the petticoat. and wear n last
years hat / might make an old bit of
headwear both becoming and pretty.
but I could never walk with any
haughtiness or any grace without the
aid of a silk petticoat.
"The reason I'm thinking so iiuch
about this ilmmodest article OF apparel
at present" she continued "is because
1 haven't one. The air Is damp. my
Panama skirt is limp. I feel slovenly
to a degree when take my walks

panion, but / cannot do without fine

The Plain Girl

The plain girl was tired to death"
Of being mentioned as that plain girl
over there" and looked long and scru-
at her figure one day in the
glass. After this scrutinizing process
she determined to kill the faults OF
''plain Mary Brown" First Of all she
began some exercises for rounding out
her figure. The one she used most
frequently was this:
Stand erect with the head held cas-
ily--erms at tne side. Ticking in fun
breath very slowly. lift the arms
shoulder high, at the same time rising
on the toes; now bend the knees very
slowly, keeping the body in a well
poised position; then rise very slowly.
still on the toes-then sink back to DO
sit'cn.
This exercise she :ound developed a
habit Of walking. standing. sitting and
rising correctly. Strengthened the
shoulders and rounded out the hollows.
Bending the knees did away with the
stiffness. and with that the aN Nkward-
ness disappeared.
Her face. neck and arms she bathed
in very hot water every night. rubbed
in a good cold cream and rubbed out
every suggestion of a line or wrinkle.
In the morning she washed her face
with hot water. making a lather Of
soap on her hands, not touching a cloth
10 her skin; this was followed by a
good dashlng Of clear hot water, and
that in turn by a vigorous spattinG
with thc fingers dipped IN cold water.
She practiced smiling to make the
corners Of her mouth turn Op, and soor
she founi the forced smile Rad become
q natural one, that the contented spirit
within generated by the Smiling
habit" was beginning TO show itself n
la happy expression, frightened eyes
/ and an utter routing of all the olt
Hines that erstwhile marked her face
