Suggestions for Stout Women.

First and most important is the
question of corset. The stout WON
an can make no greater mistake than
to try and deceive herself by wear
ing close, tight fitting corset in
hopes that 1t will make her appear
slender. The effect is distinctly the
contrary. A well-made, comforta-
BILE corset, fitted and especially
adapted to her personal require
ments. will give lines to her figure
that will make her appear mucn
more slender.
The stout woman should avoid
plain, tight-fitting blouses. In wear
ing shirtwaists, the small shoulder
yoke in front, which Is fashionable
this season, Is one of the best adap-
tatiOns, as 1t makes the shirtwaist
fit much better across the shoulders.
fullness in the front breadths across
the bust, where 1t Is needed, and
where any tightness or strain is SO
ugly.
The back yoke for the stout wom-
an is serious mistake. 1t has a
tendency to shorten the waist line,
and adds breadth across the shoull-
ers. A few plaits In the cenJer
from the collar to the belt line is
the best way of finishing the back.
All coats and jackets for the stout
woman should end below the waist
line.
The long, half-fitting coat is excel
lent, and lends grace to the figure.
The jackets with the straight fronts,
ending several inches below the
waist line, and made either in dou-
ble-breasted form or with a dy-
front, is one of the best models for
the stout woman to follow.
The stout woman should beware
of overturned skirts and not Of
tempt any elaborate styles in that
direction. The skirt trimmed in
panel fashion is becoming.
The choice of materials Is most
important. Plaids are absolutely
forbidden except In small doses,
when utilized as waist trimmings
Stripes should also be use1 with dis
cretion.
Black and darker shades are tue
best colors for the stout woman.

Don't Turn your re.

How many people turn their heads
toward the direction in which they
are looking? Most of us do. aud thus
rob the eyes of the exercise to which
they are entitled.
The power of vision is such that
when we look straight in front of us
we can see In almost every direction
except right behind us.
Sight is beyond question our most
valuable sense. We could get along
fairly well without taste, smell, hear
ing, or feeling, but once sight mas
gone our Joy in life is practically dead.
So it beEooves us to exercise cur
sight. To do so, hold your head STEADY
and roll your eyes about. Look in ey-
cry direction-up, down, to the riSnt
to the left, everywhere. All the
nerves, veins and arteries will be
strengthened. The muscles viii be
Immediately improved. The lachry-
NAL glands will be excited sufficient
ly to wash the eyeb2ll thoroughly.
Then seeing will be delight,-An-
swers.

Experimental Sowing.

Burbank's achievement with the
daisy are more fascinating than a
fairy tale. From England, Japan,
Germany and Australia-everyw where
where daisies grew-he got seeds
of the best varieties, not a few, but
hundrds, thousands.
These were carefully planted and
watched with closest care. They
We're all going to be slain, but out
of their death was to come a new
daisy larger. more beautiful, more
hardy. and that would flower in
every climate perennially.
The result was his Shasta"
daisy, one of the most beautiful
flowers ever seen-of clear, bril-
liant white. great size the centre
of pure yellow resting upon slender
or yet stronger stems.

Why Women Ride Astride.

1T Is the general opinion among
the physicians with whom I asso-
cate" writes correspondent of the
New York Medical Journal, that the
fashion Oh wom,n riding astride has
not had its origin In fad so much as
1t mas in the advice OF physicians Of
Iur modern type.
The fact that person riding
astride can have more freedo from
jar and jolt than one riding on q
side saddle, should be a point in
favor of the astrije method, aside
from the fact of 1t being safer and
easier for the rider.
The fact that 1t might be con-
sidered immodest by those who are
lot familiar with the astride method
of riding Is no reason why 1t should
be condemned. The mai reason
why 1t is becoming more popular Ia
beause that physicians in general

WOMEN IN EGYPT.
All Mohammedan Women Wear
Wells,

There are seemingly more types Of
women In Cairo, all of them natives
OF Egypt. than in any other city Of
like population in the world Their
variety is due largely to the differ
ence In costume, which Is regulated
by religious beliefs.
All the women of Mohammedan
faith wear wells. Some wear queer
little spoods of brass or gold, which
are attached to the headpiece, and
which hang down to cover the nose.
This signifies that the wearers are
married. Others wear wells without
either headpiece or nose covering.
The wells of the Turkish women are
the handsomest, and they are also
the most coquettish, for occasionally
they are thin enough to show the
outline OF the features beneath.
Nearly all the aristccratic male
Turkish women, who are supposed to
Egyptians of Cairo are married to
be superior to the natives both in
beauty and intelligence The ma
jority OF Turkish girls of wealthy
families are educated as are their
European sisters, and many of them
are talented in music and painting.
This enlightenment which allows
the daughters to be educated applies
only to those families wich have had
the advantage of English assocla-
ton. But this class is very rarely
seen by the tourist, unless he gets
