| have lots of young men friends, but
l do not care enough for the male sex
to go steady with any of them.
Now the point 1 want you to advise
me on is this: Is it proper for me to
do as 1 have been doing? I go out and
around a good deal, and pick up with
young men whom | have never been
introduced to. but l know my place at
all times.
1 have heard several remarks passed
lately in which l was referred to as a
little f1irt.
DO you think there Is any harm in
the name in which l conduct myself?
NJ. F. F.
Have you v consulted your people
about your actions? Do they approve
of your conduct? My advice to you is
to discontinue such behavior at once.
/ don't wonder that people ak about
YOU. I would wonder very much if they
didn't, for you are certainly putting
yourself in a position to be severely
criticised. Such behavior on the part
of a girl is sufficient to make her lose
her good name, SO | would advise you
to be very careful. Men have very lit
tie respect for girls who act as you do.
They will only laugh at you and talk
about you afterwards. Don't be so
foolish in the future.

TO TRIM TIE SEASONS GOWNS.

All kinds of braiding will be extreme
ly fashionable this season. and quite a
good deal of it may be done during the
cold weather, so it viii be ready for
trimming when the gowns are to be
made.
Bands of white linen may be braided
in white or a delicate color-the latter
is newer-and the simple %ycrlnicelli
pattern is a popular
Soutacho braid is used.
Strips of net for trimming waists and
gowns are decorated with the braid.
sometimes used alone. or continued
with silk floss in strands darned in
with the braid. These give a rich,
handsome effect.

BY MADAME ALTA.

It's an undisputed fact that perfect
health is conducive to beauty, and
thinking women who know something
or anatomy are ready to argue that
nothing can take the place of some
simple exercise which will bring all the
muscles of the body into play and send
the blood coursing normally through
every vein.
Health must be there, or beauty
cannot be- is an old proverb tina our
grandmothers learned in the nursery,
but, unlike the ~present-day women, u
giIndmothers were inclined to be lack
adasical They would, no doubt, look
upon outdoor sports for women as
"hoydenishp and unbecoming, and
would frown down any inclination on
the part of their daughters to coun-
nance u a thing as physical cul-
ture.
But the of today knows the
value of physical culture. She knows
that if she would be supple and grace
full, if she would have clear, bright
eyes and a rosy complexion she must
exercise, she must practise deep breath
ing n various simple practises that
will affect every part of the body. The
vvoman who desires beauty knows this,
and she INDUCES in the culture which
she. is convinced makes for beauty,
.ysical exercises are too hard to
PRACTISE" says some women. zone
cannot have a gymnasium fitted up in
ones home"
Such a our would be quite I'M
necessary, for the best results are OBJ
tanned with the help of only simple APP
planes, such as d~umbbells, barbells,
Indian clubs and possibly a punching
bag, which may be easily fitted up in
o.le's own room.
To make physical exercise a pleasure
the windows should be thrown open
enough to admit the fresh air. If one
owns a gymnasium suit-a blouse and
bloomers-so much the better, as only
very loose clothing should be worn. The
first exercise should be the breathing
exercise, and one should learn to take
at least ten deep breaths at a time.
The accompanying illustration shows a
popular form of exercise. 1t comes
under the set known as medical gym
nastics. and is recommended to de-
velop the muscles of the back, hips and

TOO YOUNG TO MARRY?
Dear Miss Doom:

Just a few lines to ask you a ques-
ton as others have done in your paper.
/ am a young girl of IS. I love a young
mar and he loves me. Do you think Z
am too young to marry
MISS NAY d.
I consider a girl of your age little
more than a child. In my opinion you
should still be at school or occupied
with the things hat interest young
girls. Marriage is a serious thing and
entails a great deal of care, so don't be
in a hurry to rush into it. You have
lots of time for four or five years yet.
