THE HEAT OF BATTLE.

"The heat OF battle is no mere poet

of the hard riding dare devils that fol
lowed him through his wild campaigns
of the civil war.
"One night in the winter Of '62-63,'

"When~it came to pulling of my

There was no wild firing at things un-

PENNY GOES HUNTING

Penny wanted rife, and stood out for 1t with her usual independence of spirit. Her father scoffed.
 What in thunder would you shoot?" he demanded of his daughter. If you really hit anything you would sit down and cry-girls always do. Own up, now--why do you want the thing?"
 Penny wavered, then an amused smile of voluntary self-betrayal made her little pointed face, to Dudley, ire sistibly expressive. She brought a picture cut from magazine and laid 1t before her father, leaning on his shoulder. It represented a young wo- man of impossible but attractive ana tony clad in hunting suit that had the charm and distinction of French romance; buttoned gaiters showing un- stintedly, felt hat carrying single , sharp feather like an accent, a gun held dashingly under one arm.
 There! want to look just like that" said Penny with a long breath of desire and a twinkle in her eyes.
 You always want to make me hap by, and it is so easy," she said plain lively.
 But see here!" MT. Mixter stood out desperately. Wouldn't the suit do without the gun? God knows,

 ried to Extremes.

You never really know a woman, some one has said. until you discover her pet economies. -
 One very wealthy woman whose hus. band is a judge saves her pennies by saving bottles. Whenever there is need to have a prescription put up she sends an empty bottle from the house instead of paying five to ten cents for a new one. The woman often heads a subscription list with s1,000 check. but she won't buy bottles.
 Economy in the kitchen is frequent ly the cause of trouble. One woman simply can't keep a chef because she insists tha: every particle of butter left over from the table shall be used for cooking.
 Another had no end of trouble with her servants because she insists upon their using candles. Saving paper, twine and wooden bundle carriers from the shops is a common economy. An actress who has plenty of money saves all her old shoes and slippers. She has trunks full of them in ali stages of dilapidation, but refuses to part with one of them.

LACKING IN GRACE
CHARGE OFTEN MADE AGAINST
 AMERICAN WOMEN.
careIessness In Walking and Fose Of the Figure Responsible for This :. criticism-Home Gymnastics
 of Great Value.


 How to dispose of one's hands Is a great test of breeding, and ones good appearance greatly depends on an up. right carriage, good pose of the head and foot. It is reproach leveled against American women that few of them know how to walk. Indeed. we have heard 1t boldly asserted that the only women who can walk as they should are the handsome Spanish donnas. Even American women who master the grace of walking we'll in their youth seem to lose 1t in old age. Watch an old woman walking; in nine cases out of ten she is flat-footed and ungraceful, and we should do every thing that is possible to make old age comedy. We dress better than we did, we know better what suits us, and how to put on our clothes properly, which is half the battle.
 But-there will be many dissent. ients to this-there are but few very graceful women, and the increased height in the majority of our sex does not tend that way. We are much too angular and too downright in our movements. The modern school girl indulges in games much on the same lines as her brothers, to the great i'm. provement of her health and her physique; but when the schooldays are over there is not that due cultiva- tion of grace which would add so ma terially to womanly charms. Note the swinging gait of well-dressed women in the streets, the movement of the arms accompanying the movements of the body, the lack of repose. and far too often the lack of dignity
 Parents with children should realize Ruskin's injunctions, that the first duty owing to women is to secure training which shall confirm their health and perfect their beauty.
 We rarely realize the ideal Greek beauty, and yet they were long.lived race, and we probably should add to our length of days if we followed in their footsteps.
 There arc plenty, of paraphernalia for home gymnastics, which should be set up in our bedrooms and used judi.

 Why not shotgun?" Dudley sug- gested. Penny objected so adroitly that MT. Mixter was presently in the position of urging on his daughter the advantages of a weapon he detested as we'll as feared. She finally conced- ed that shotgun would do if she could have it at once.
 An hour later she was on her way to town to make her selection and or der her suit. She had declined to try the one until the other had been sent up. week later. Then she came proudly down the front steps for the benefit of Dudley and her father, feather and gun at exactly the dashing angle, and beamed frank satisfaction at them from pose on the graveled walk

 Penny fired her ilrst shot. then sat down on log, hand against her right shoulder. her face dubious.
