For some days Violets return

the invalid. Never had daughter been
more devoted, more loving, fuller of
sweet cares and consultations for dy-
ing mother than this daughter. Seeing
the mother and child together in this
supreme hour, no onlooker could have
OWNED that these two had been ever
less fondly united than mother and
child should be. The feeble and fad
ing woman seemed to lean on the
strong bright girl, to gain a reflected
strength from her fullness Of life and
vigor. 1t was as il Vixen, with her
shining hair and fair young face,

No woman can have bright eyes, S
beautiful skin, or an elastic step if she
does not supply her lungs with oxygen.
She can do this by deep breathing.
The indolent woman regains her lost
energy when she learns how to breathe
correctly. The sallow girl, with the
dark circles under her eyes, discovers
that with correct breathing the con
gested veins will yield to the stimu
lated circulation, the dark rings dis
appear, and the lustre reappear in the
eyes. Deep breathing will help to cake
curves where there are angles. and il
is potent factor in the cure of ema
citation, because it supplies oxygen tc
the wasted tissues, and sets the ma
chinery of the vital organs going.
