wider. so to speak Little women make
a mistake if they wear tight fitting
shoulders and long, thin sleeves. They
only make themselves look weazencd
The following is a good exercise: Lift
the arms, then stoop and rest on the
right knee Rising, reverse the motion
and rest on the other knee. Then run
down the room jumping from foot to
foot. Then come back, still jumping,
and this time lifting the feet as though
you were skipping. Tho final lnove-
1nent is TO toss the arms upward and
bend backward. There is a reason for
all things, and the reason why these
exercises make the little woman taller
is that they make her supple.

remove the skin. 1t is paitliul, but
will rid your complexion of the freckles.
Dear Madame Alta:
Can you advise a constant reader
how to get rid of dandruff? | have
tried a patent remedy and also tried
washing the hair, but it didn't do much
good. Washing makes the hair SO
brittle, and about ten days after wash
the hair the scalp is covered with dam
druff again 1t is starting to come "out
also. NJ. ). L.
/ know nothing of the patent prep
aration you mention, but l think ! can
help you to improve the condition or
your skin. First of all, brush your
hair as much as possible, and always
be sure that the brushes are scrupu-
lously clean and free from dust. The
following is a most excellent preVen-
tive of dandruff:
Tincture of cantharides. l ounce
Liquid ammonia. a................. l dram
Glycerine .....f2 ounce
Oil thyn1e..... .....................1 .12 urdii
Rosemary oil. ........,......,.....1s dram
Mix with six ounces of rose water
Rub the scalp thoroughly each day
with the preparation until there is no
further evidence of the dandruff. Let
me know the result of the treatment.

In removing basting threads, bone
stiletto, such as used to be included in
oId-fashioned work baskets, is the best
implement, as it is far less likely to
iniure the material than pair OF
pninted scissors or a pin, which are
often employed for this purpose.
The woman who is clever with the
crochet hook has it in her power to
make the neatest and most expensive
collars on the market They are new
and perfectly beautiful. First the stock
or collar is knitted of finest lace and
mounted on a stiff linen collar. Two
coarse thread leaves about as wide as
a dollar, a trifle longer, are crocheted
and fastened at the centre front with
a, white rose the exact size and shape of
a. rose with raised petals. Another
style Is made with two very small but
ton roses resting on the leaves. A
beautiful crochet pattern is band OF
insertion one inch wide that edges
fine linen collar at the lower point ana
it, too, is decorated with miniature
crochet roses. Any arrangement Where-
by the roses may be used will be appro-
pirate. Some of the collars for sheer
dresses are made of one hundred thread,
a loose stitch is employed in the forma-
tion of the stock, though the delicate
roses are made of much finer thread.
The idea is a good one and the styles are
so varied that all would be attractive.
Many of the tailored shirt waists
shown for the spring are trimmed with
French beading. This is used not only
at the seams. but it is also used to
finish the tucks, the box plait down the

is very good and may be carried put IN
many beautiful ways, While in making
a set of shirt waists the beading might

A piece Of camphor placed in an emp

Health and Beauty
For EDey Woman
What the Bar-ben VIII Do TO Elongate the
Waist and Strengthen the Spinal
Colunm--A Health Hnt--A
Cure for Dandruff.
BY MADAME ALTA.

There was a time when physical cul-
ture among women was looked upon
as something extreme" something a
real sensible woman would not resort
to in order to improve her physical
beauty, but happily that day has passed
and physical culture has settled down
to sensible and reasonable science of
improving oneself.
A woman we'll known in this city was
so nngraceful and so clumsy in form
and figure that her dressmaker dreaded
having her for a fitting. No amount of
argument could persuade this woman
that she could improve herself if she
would, until finally she was induced to
join gymnasium class with some
friends To the instructor she seemed
almost a helpless case, and were IL
not for the fact that the exercises were
pleasure to her she might still be the
clumsy creature she was in the begin
ming. But she saw the value of physi-
cal training and went into the exer-
cises with a will, with the result that
she is greatly improved in appearance,
to say nothing of the perfect health she
enjoys.
One of the simple forms of physical
culture is the use of the wand or bar
bells. This exercise will go great
way toward developing the muscles OF
the trunk and elongating the muscles
OF the waist By it's constant use the
compression of the small muscles be-
tween the ribs are relaxed and given
chance TO develop. It is also beneficial
In strengthening the spinal column, the
shoulders and arms. Practise with the
wand in the position shown in the ac-
companying illustration, exercising first
one side of the body and then the other
an equal number of times.
