COUNTRY LIFE IN WINTER
DAYS.

Since the days of Whittier's Snow
bound, American people have learned
the joys of country life in the sum-
mer Nowadays, almost every one
who is above the daily bread-line has
an ambition to own some sort of
shack in the country, or by the sea,
or on the lake The summer migra-
ton has started earlier each year,
and the fall return to the city is put
off longer
But as yet few have learned to
know the charms of country life in
winter. When the freezing blast
from the north first glasses the ponds,
the city person is likely to hike for
his steam-heated fiat, the trolley car
and the theatre There is something
savage in the face OF frozen Nature
that makes him SILVER and rspels
him. The first aspects of winter in
the countryside bare, brown fields,
the leafless trees, the frozen, rutty
roads--are not cheering But when
Thanksgiving has passed and the
snow comes, then the real wonder of
the country begins The white cover
ing OF pure snow on the broad fields,
the hill slopes, the Zine forests are
almost more beautiful, certainly more
spring and summer Then there are
the winter sports-not to mention
skating and sleighing-toboganning

snow-shoeing and skecing There is
as much to do outdoors in winter as
in summer, and the clear, cold air of
sunny days, the calm, cold nights are
the best times for exhilirating exer-
else A sound man need not fear the
snow.
There is also a sociability about
the winter life in the country for
those who stay on that the summer
crowd can never offer: the open fires,
the long evenings, the friendly little
dinners. What if one does rise be-
fore daylight to thaw out the plumb
ing? There is something exciting ev-
en- in this humble chore when the
thermometer registers from ten to
twenty below zero And, thanks to
the telephone and rural delivery, one
can never stay frozen up for a dang
crously long time
Finally there is blessing in soil
tube, or comparative solitude: the
overcrowded world is huddled far
away in the windy streets of some
dirty town.-Saturday Evening Post.

BETRAYED BY HER CHAIR.
Failing to Occupy Seat AS an
Aristocrat Should, ~French
Adventures Ends in Jail

Are there two ways of sitting upon
chair? Do the aristocratc have
one method of placing themselves
upon an expensive Chippendale, and
a less fortunate woman another? Is
there correct way to sit down? If
there is, why are not all children
taught it?
These, and similar questions are
doubtless fitting through the mind of
a French woman who was recently
convicted as an imposter. She had
pretended to trades-people that she
was a marquise of exalted station,
with vast possessions. Her success
was remarkable until she experienced
the sharp scrutiny OF a young sales
woman, who waited upon her in one
of the celebrated shops in the Rue de
la Paix.
A real aristocrat never sits on the
edge of her chair" scornfully an
nounced this keen feminine observer.
The storekeeper questioned this
statement. A chair was a chair in
his commercial eye. 1t was to be
used as seat, and to this useful pur-
pose his patron was putting it.
Whether she placed herself firmly
upon it, or merely rested upon the
outer rim, he considered a mere mat
ter of taste or comfort.
But the saleswoman had closely
watched her customers while serv-
ing them, and she insisted that the
Marquise de la Ferroniere was an
imposter. The result was an investi-
CATION which ended in sentence of
long Imprisonment for the pretend
ing noblewoman who had, either
through ignorance or neglect, failed
to sit squarely upon her chair.
A mother who brings up her
daughters carefully points to the old
statuary of Greece, Rome, and Egypt
for correct sitting-posture. Teach
ers of department also use these
works of art as examples of the
grace and repose their pupils
should initiate. The POSITION of one
OF these noble chiseled figures is the
position of all. The great sculptors,
modern as well as ancient, have their
women seated firmly III their chairs.
From plaster-casts and pictures OF
marbles, famous though long ages,
the growing girl learns to see that
she should plant herself firmly upon
the seat of chair. She must never
sit at the edge of it, where it may be
tipped forward, nor should she place
her body midway upon the chair.
lhere is but one proper way to sit,
and that is to touch the place where
the back and the seat of the chair
