women are usually extremely active, mentally IA
well as bodily. They think and act quickly. This
uses up their strength, and they need nourishnO
food and absolute relaxation TO restore them 10
the normal condition. There's no doubt that a
quiet temperament, self-control and patience will
keep one in healthy condition. Every fretter
must soon become a dyspeptc. Worry has a
certain effect upon the appetite, irritating the
sympathetic nerves of the stomach Eight hours
sleep will do for many individuals, but some men
and women need more sleep than that.

TO DEVELOP THE CALF MUSCLES.
Women who have slender, shapeless limbs
should devote much attention to this exercise,

A very simple exercise is to rise on tip-toe,

with one foot then with the other, and finally
both This exercise, if persisted in, will GER
tainly do much for developing and rounding the

flowers last very much longer than Others.
Carnations probably give more satisfaction than
any other flower in this respect, and the odor
is very refreshing. Roses, lilies of the valley, and
volets are all suitable for sickroom, but
they do not last fresh for very long.
They will keep much better, however, if they
are removed from the sick room every night, and
this should always be done with any kind of flow

Merely because a woman has good
height and is sparsely built does not
place her in the fashionable class. Her figure
must not only be of symmetrical proportions, but
possess those long, graceful, sweeping curves
which characterize the ideal figure.
Starting at the shoulders, the line passing over
the bust must be full and round, tapering to the
waist, then gracefully curvng the hips and
sweeping away to the feet. The exquisite beauty
OF such figures is best appreciated when studying
the lines from the back or profile,

The one fear OF the modern American
women nowadays Is the thought Of grow
ing old. and as wrinkles are the first posi-
tive beauty destroyer, they must be fought
In response to woman's cry for help many
beauty shops have been established over
the country and have successfully helped
TO avert the coming calamity OF age and
wrinkles and wretched form.
These are the days Of the figure, the face
taking a secondary place, because II Is on
the figure that style depends, and women
are worshipers Of style. This Is the age
when there is a perfect craze for slender
figures. In no way can this be better OBJ
tanned than by, a systematic course Of
gymnastics. All these exercises require
strength and strong will, but in them lies
the power OF every woman to have a beau
tiful hgure. without the Juggling and pull
ing and disoomforts caused by tight laeing.
The right kind OF night against time and
old age does not lie In artihciality, but In
