company the boys when they buy
their suits and overcoats; but they
have learned for themselves how to
purchase shoes, shirts, collars and
neckties.
They have learned to watch for
mark-downs, and to buy out of sea-
son on occasion, so that they may
have more money left for Christmas
gifts or personal pleasures. In these
years l have contributed to their
wardrobe only pajamas and bath
robes, which l made myself, and one
pair of expensive stockings for dane
ing school. Other relatives gave them
a few neckties at Christmas.
The boys have learned proportion
in spending. They have experienced
that 1t is sometimes wise to buy the
more expensive shoes or coats, II 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
this time they have never had any

ways.

Why American Women Are Beautiful.

Why American Women Are Beautiful.
The interest in the physical Well
being of women, which is OF compara-
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 great deal of
his time to the study ofviiying beauty
and how to promote and preserve 1t.
His writings on this subject after
his death fell into the hands of two
of his pupils, Steele Mackaye and
Genevieve Stebbins, who became the
enthusiastic promoters OF Delsarte's
teachings In America.
American women Of to-day owe
much to Genevieve Stebbins. who
combined the methods of Delsarte
with the best OF Swedish gymnastics.
and who ON her own body proved the
usefulness OF systematic physical ex-
ercise. i.
The results which she and her
pupils reached aroused storm OF en-i
thusiasn in America. Women OF all
classes and ages began to take Up the
course, and as soon as the methods
had proved benehcial to adults they
were introduced in the various edu,
.ational institutions

evening 1t is a new production. in
three acts by Cosmo Gordon Lennox
and Clyde Fitch. Both writers i'm
bued into the drama the cleverest
ideas and most interesting story. Miss
Barrymore was happily placed in the
presentation and enacted her role
with all the versatility and capability
with which she is generously endowed.
1t Is an interesting, and at the same
time startling story that is I'M
folded as the play unravels itself. 1t
is the story Of one sister trying hard
to shield another, who has become in
volved in some scandal. Prettily
and uniquely are the threads I'M
wound and connected and cleverly
did the company present the latest
dramatic success. Miss Barrymore is
popular, that is conceded. but the well
come accorded her last evening was
only commensurate with her portrayal
of the character she impersonated.
