HARD TO IMPRESS MODERATION,
women Prone to overdo Things When
Exercise Is Ordered,

1t is quite difficult to impress upon
women the good of exercise; but it is
equally difficult to compel them not to
Overdo it.

ana tell her to take a gentle exercise
1or hve minutes every morning, and
she will swing them with violence
several times day until her arms

hours, at all hours, without modera.
ton or judgment.
1t Is the same with every form of
exercise suggested. 1t seems the ma
ture OF woman to overdo it through ig-
norance They do not know it's value
enough to comprehend it's danger
They think if little is good more is
better.
They weary themselves out deplete
their heart action, give themselves
acute indigestion, all because they will
not do in moderation the thing that
would make them we'll and strong.
Doctors and physical cut,x'ists say
they have to fight this tendency in
women more than any other one thing
when they are upbuilding their blood
and tissues.

NOW THE DRAPED WAISTCOAT.
It Is Worn with Fancy Jackets and Be-
comes Woman of Slim Figure.

The draped waistcoat has come in
again. 1t is to be worn with fancy
Jackets, and will prove especially be-
coming to thin figures. Being made to
wear with princess skirt, or skirt
having a princess belt, it is very short,
coming just to the top of the prin-
cess belt. 1t is much shorter at the
sides than the front and very much
shorter in the back than anywhere
else. The back is absolutely plain
and tight-fitting, and it is most i'm
portant that it should fit we'll, other.
wise the effect of the outer jacket
cannot be successful. The drapery
begins at the shoulder seams, where
the material is laid in folds. There
are more folds which come from the
under arm seam, so that the front of
the waistcoat is entirely draped, the
folds being arranged to give an equal
fulness across the bust. The waist
coat is double-breasted and has four
buttons, covered with the material.
Such a waistcoat is usually worn
over thin shirtwaist that is not par
ticularly elaborate because it will
hardly be seen, although it should be
very well fitting and of sheer material,
otherwise the costume will be too
warm and one may not remove a coat
worn over waistcoat. There is al
most always high collar and fancy
jabot worn with such waistcoats, and
either jabot or lace bow of some
dimensions is necessary to make the
proper effect

Thrift In the Family,

A little girl was playing with girl
friend of her own age on the porch Of
her home in West Philadelphia.
An elderly gentleman, her mothers
father, and an elderly lady, her ia
theirs mother, were sitting on the
porch talking pleasantly with each
other. The little girl had often wished
her grandparents were of the same
name, like other children's grand
parents.
Presently the little guest remarked:
What nice grandmother and grand.

Ribbons for Fall.

Many of the new fall and winter cos,
tunes will be finished off with sash.
due largely to the directoire style now
in vogue. These will be made of broad
satin of soft pliable quality, and will
swathe the waist in soft folds, the
ends falling gracefully down the side
or front of the costume. Already this
fashion is beginning to show in the
latest summer styles, as many of the
lingerie princess frocks are now CON-
pleted with ribbon sash fastened to
the back only. In some fall gowns the
sash is on the Turkish idea, being
wound tightly around the waist and
hips, and then falling in soft folds al
most to the bottom of the costume.
The up-to-date sash must be of a shade
to harmonic with the costume, rather
than to contrast.

The Workbau.

OF course, hemstitching is always
to be desired as trimming for dainty
lingerie, but just at present it is espe-
cially in favor-many garments being
trimmed exclusively with the dainty
hand finish, without the assistance of
a yard of lace or embroidery.
A handy piece of work to keep in
that pretty little workbag that lives
on the porch table is long strip of
handkerchief linen or fine batiste-
just the width of a ruf1le for drawers
or petticoat-with threads drawn and
hem turned and basted.
A few moments stitching now and
then will result, presently, in a yard
or so of hemstitched flouncing, which
will be most useful when lingerie ma
king is in order. Yards of ruffling
may be hemmed in this way, and the
occupation prove pleasant past.me,
which, otherwise, would be tedious
work.

Freak Of a Kansas Storm,

A curious freak of the tornado took
place on the Tucker farm, says the
Smith County Pioneer. Mr.. Tucker,
who was lying in bed with a broken
leg, could not run to a place of safety
when the storm was seen coming. His
wife gathered the three little children
and they all piled on the bed with Mr..
Tucker, the wife saying that il all
were killed they would all die to.
gether.
After the storm Mrs. Tucker found
herself about so yards away, two lit
tie girls down in the bed of the creek,
the little boy sitting on pile of straw,
all unhurt. Looking toward the house
Mrs. Tucker saw all of it swept away
except the floor. But the bed still
stood where it did before the storm
and her husband was still lying upon
it without q scratch.
