They have learned to watch for

The boys have learned proportion
in spending. They have experienced
that it is sometimes wise to buy the
more expensive shoes or coats, if they
have the money in hand. Otherwise,
they have learned to be satisfied with
the less costly article. They have
occasionally earned little money by
working for a neighbor, but in all

why American Women Are Beautiful.

Why American Women Are Beautiful.
| The interest in the physical well
! being of women, which is of compare
lively recent origin with us. has ex-
listed for years among all classes in
America. When the women OF Amer
lea first began to take up physical
culture they did not do so from any
desire of promoting their health and
strength, but simply because they
wanted to become more beautiful by
systematic exercises, says DR.. Adal-
bert Won Tobold, of Berlin.
They wanted to develop the grace
and beauty of their movements and
body to perfection, and they wanted
to appear graceful and pretty even
when nature had denied them these
qualities.
The initiative of this desire came
originally from Frenchman. Fran
co.'s Delsarte, who had taught singing
and acting in Paris for forty years
and who had devoted a great deal oil
his time to the study of living beauty
and how to promote and preserve it.
His writings on this subject after
his death fell into the hands of two
of his pupils, Steele Mackaye ant
Genevieve Stebbins, who became the
enthusiastic promoters Of Delsarte'!
teachings in America.
American women of to-day owe
much to Genevieve Stebbins, wht
combined the methods of Delsart
with the best of Swedish gymnastics
and who on her own body proved thu
usefulness of systematic physical ex
ercise.
The results which she and he
pupils reached aroused storm of en-
thusiasm in America. Women of al
classes and ages began to take Up tn
course, and as soon as the method
Ilcad proved beneficial to adults the
introduced in the various edu
iatiollal institutions.

New Skyscraper to Be Six Stories Deep

When asked how he happened to
plan six stories underground, Mr.. Haz-
lett said:
"A man asked us how far we pro-
posed to carry the building down into
the ground and | told him about fifty
feet
IF you will carry it down as far
as you possibly can he said. 1 will
rent the space on long lease
Il asked him what he wanted to use
it for and he said: L won't tell you,
but 1t will be for legitimate purpose.
so we planned for structure five
stories below water level. so tenants
in the lower levels can't hang pictures
by driving holes through the walls"
With the improved methods of light
ing. ventilation, and heating, the I'M
foreground rooms will be just as
healthful as the thousands of offices
above ground when artificial light is
used during the day.
An extraordinary feature of the new
plans is that the engine and boiler
room will be on the third and fourth
floors. There will not be enough wood
in the building to make a toothpick
There will be in it 5000 to 10000 tons
of steel. 100000 bricks, and nine
acres of rental area.

Chinese rugs have within the last
few years come into high favor with
collectors and are steadily enhancing
in price. One of the finest in the coun-
try was acquired five or elk years ago
by Henry C. Prick for $4,000, and the
price was considered low in view Of
the high quality of the textile, which
cannot be purchased at any such

AS Nancy May Stewart of Rich

beautiful girls in the Hoosier state.
Her first marriage was unfortunate,
and after her separation the courtship
of William B. Leeds, who also was di-
