Physical Exercise Necessary.

There is nothing that viii add charm
to the face and figure so much as e
ercise, and the woman why fails to take
plenty of outdoor exercise, the kind that
~invigorates, is cheating herself of her
birthright.
A lazy girl will moi obey the prompt
ings of nature to use her limbs and
faculties as 1t was intended hat she
should use them.
She infinitely prefers to loll about,
reading rubbishy books which make no
call on her mental faculties, absorbing
oaramels or chocolates she does not re-
Quire, thus starving her mind and over
feeding her body at one and h same
moment.
BY doing this she tends to lay on an
excess of fatty tissue, which soon robs
her youthful figure of any dainty
charm it might possess, her digestive
organs become deranged, her liver be-
comes sluggish and her complexion as
sumes a sallow tint hat adds years to
her looks.
On the other hand, take the girl VIII

not afraid of a long tramp through the
country, and who knows the value Of
deep breathing, and compare her witt

border to outline the opening of the
bodice, and also to form a long line of
trimming which reaches to the feet,
and is afterwards continued round the
hem of the skirt. The buttons are of
mauve and white enamel set in silver,
and the opening of the bodice is filled
with a chemisette and high collar-band

Her 1.-THE girlish figure is the envy
of the girl who is all hips, and whose
form lacks all the lines of symmetry
necessary to a graceful carriage.
There Is no exercise so beneficial or
non SO much within the reach OF all
women as walking, and yet few women
indulge in walking for the physical
benefit they will derive from it. True,
they walk, but how? With a hurried
jerky stride that leaves no real bene-
fits in it's wake, but on the contrary
leaves the subject round shouldered
and hat-chested. If you want to de-
rive benefits from walking walk with a
long, even stride, with the shoulders
well thrown back, and the abdomen
drawn in until it is on a level with the
chin. Learn to breathe deep while walk
ing. Count four steps to a long deer
breath. This will be difficult at first,
but with perseverance you will be able
to take six and even eight steps to a
breath. When walking keep in mind
the fact that you have something
definite to accomplish and your exer-
cises will soon pc a pleasure n a
benefit to you.

Many graceful frocks intended more
particularly for home wear are being
made by smart tailors and modistes In
soft autumnal shades of ottoman silk
of the richest texture very finely
corded, as these silks always are, and
yet made with a wonderfully bright
surface, which renders It doubly at
tractive. We give in our illustration a
suggestion for a very charming little
frock for home a to be carried out
in ottoman silk, in a new and very
beautiful shade Of dahlia-purple, which
Is surprisingly becoming to dark and
fair alike.
The smart simplicity of the style in
which this gown Is made will appeal
to those who seek comfort as well as
elegance in their frocks for home wear,
since it Is very cleverly arranged, so
that it needs no other fastening, be-
yond the six buttons which are shown
in our sketch. The bodice and skirt
are made In one, the fulness of the
upper part being held In closely at the
waist by q soft satin belt to match
exactly the beautiful purple of the
ottoman silk, and drawn through q
buckle of purple enamel set in oxidlzed
silver.
Below the waist belt there are some
fine pleats running vertically. and en-

All black gowns are to be very smart
for dressy wear this fall. No woman
who has ever known the comfort of a
thin, dressy black gown will ever want
to be without one. It can have either
a low or high blouse, or, what is better
still, 1t can be cut with a low neck and
short sleeves originally, and then have
a smart guimpe to convert it into a
high-neck gown. This addition Of a
guimpe was not always favored by
those who went in for good dressing.
1t savored too much OF patchwork. The
guiinpe never looked quite fit in a low-
neck frock. This has been changed be-
cause of the method Of making the
blouses. Therefore, with the Dutch
neck and the Y neck usually made Of
good lace, 1t is quite simple to put in
a dressy guimpe that will add to In
stead OF detract from the blouse. Any
kind OF net will do for such a frock.
The mesh known as sewing-silk net,
which was once popular and has again
returned to favor, is good for it's wear
ing qualities; but 1t will sag and pull.

Should She Take the Ring?
BY MARGERY doom.

My Dear Miss Doom:
Is it proper for q young lady to ac-
cept an ordinary gold ring as a little
remembrance of q young man with
whom she has been on very friendly
terms for three years? l, being the
young man, gave the ring n she re-
armed it, saying she would accept no
present from a man who was not her
husband. l.. 8.
The young lady was correct in re-
turning the ring, although she might
have gone a little too far In saying
she would accept nothing. Jewelry,
articles of more than common value,
and. especially finger rings, are gifts
which only relatives or engaged cou-
pies may properly exchange. A finger
ring denotes a close bond Of love. An
engagement ring is a public expression
of love; a wedding ring is a public
promise to always love the wearer.
You might have given her a book,
some little article for her toilet table,
a box of handkerchiefs-but nothing
that she wears, and. least of all, a
ring.

Cream is generally regarded as rather
a luxury in towns. The following is,
however, an excellent and cheap sub
stitute. Take a clean enamel saucepan,
rinse 1t In cold water to prevent the
milk from burning. then pour in one
pint of milk, and place 1t upon the
stove. Heat gently until just on the
point Of boiling; meanwhile well beat

stir the egg in gently. Beg carefully
for a few minutes, pour into a jug, and

OUR CEIILDREN'S CORNER
BIRD MUSIC.
GOOD deal Of attention has been

wv o~0t
~ given within the last few years
to the study of bird music, and
some really remarkable discoveries have
been made in comparing 1t with human
music. Strange to say, the most re-
markable of these applies to a bird that
is not ranked as a song-bird at all, the
common wood-pewee, whose structural
development is quite below that of the
real singers. This bird, with no other
material than the few plaintive, dis
connected notes and phrases that haunt
the midsummer woods, has constructed
as its morning and evening m the
form of music known to us as the
ballad. The ballad has a certain SYM
metrical arrangement, in which repeti-
ton plays an important part, repetition
of comparatively few phrases, and the
wood-pewee has made it's song of this
form, singing it over and over, in strict
time, as though 1t had so many verses
to sing before uttering the final note.

Removing Coffee stains.

Coffee stains, even when there is
cream in the coffee, can be removed
from the most delicate silk or wooden
fabrics by brushing the spots with
pure glycerine. Rinse in lukewarm
water, and press or the wrong side,
until quite dry. The glycerine absorbs
both the coloring matter and the
