1t afforded the entire household no

Perched upon a chair was Johnny, and
there was being executed an astonish-

"Oh. Johnny, are you teaching Poll

MopIsH puRsEs ARE MANY.
Conventional Styles Of Long Ago No
Longer In Favor.

Girls nowadays are not satisfied
with the stiff, conventional purses
that thelr mothers have always car.
ried. The monotony Of the ordinary
pocketbooE seems to have got on
their nerves. so they have devised all
sorts Of ways In which TO vary 1t.
One new purse Is little leather af-
fair. which can be fastened to ones
belt, like a watch fob, and It has be
come very popular because It is so
hard to lose Il opens out like mans
wallet; that is, you can fold your
bills up inside. Then there are little
compartments for nickels and dimes
and quarters. so that, Notwithstanding
its tiny size when rolled up, you can
really carry quite good deal Of
money In 1t,
Another new purse Is knitted bag
Of variegated hues. This. too. will
hold quite goOi deal OF money, both
bills and change IN addition to a
handkerchief, several samples Of
dress goods, car tickets. and all tho
important papers that girls love to
carry around with them.
But the most curious Of all is the
purse in the handle Of her umbrella,
The top Of the umbrella opens by
means OF spring. disclosing a tiny
raeanfacle for nickels and dimes. You
just can't imagine anything more
cute.
Along the same line are the little
leather folders. In which she now car.
ries her car tickets. But these are
not purses themselves. for she carries
her folder inside her purse. Blessed
be the man that invented the folders,
for without his aid she would surely
have got her car tickets most sadly
mixed up with her important papers.

TO ATTAIN GRACE
SIMPLE EXERCISES THAT WILL
AVAIL MUCH.
Symmetrical Curves Demanded BY
Fashions whim-eOod Offset to
Conditions Brought About by
sedentary Living.

While the ideal figure in the world
Of art and fashion to-day is tall, slen-
der and willowy, there is an utter abb
sence OF angles
Merely because a women has good
height and is sparsely built does not
place her in the fashionable class. Her
figure must not only be of symmetri-
cal 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 curving over the hips and
sweeping away to the feet The ext
quisite beauty Of such figures is best
appreciated when studying the lines
from the back or profile.
The right kind of exercise and
proper nourishment are the two
mediums that will accomplish the
ideal figure, both for the angular, un-
developed woman and her sister who
is burdened with her too welghty
avoirdupois.
Leanness is due to a lack Of slim
ulation by properly diversified move
exercise.
OF course, there are constitutionally
slender and stout people, which is
usually a question of inheritance, but
not always. Yet both classes may
work up to an ideal figure when each
pursues a course according to Its
needs.

freedom given to the muscles, sim.
liar condition arises
This weakness of the muscles is
disastrous internally, the pelvic or
gans. the kidneys, liver and bowels all
suffer in consequence.
A simple exercise to strengthen and
develop the muscles is pictured in the
sketch. Stand with feet close to-
gether bend the body slowly forward
without bending the knees, allowing
the arms to hang loosely at the sides.
After lowering the body as far as pos
sible, raise It few inches. then bend
forward again. Try this exercise five
times. then maintain correct standing
position.
Remember to breathe deeply as you
take these exercises. inhaling at the
start and exhaling as you finish.
