PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR GIRLs.

If you would sit gracefully, said the
physical culture teacher to her class
choose a chair the right height. A tall
woman cannot help being ungraceful if
the chair is too low. Then care must be
taken in seating ones self that the skirt
is not drawn too closely over the knees.
The feet should not be thrust forward.
Keep them just under the front round Of
the chair.
Sit upright This does not mean stiff
ness, but it does mean keeping the spine
straight, instead Of curved. Don't let the
shoulders droOp forward.
Don't cross the hands on the lap in a
''prunes and prism fashion, let them lie
easily.
Don't thrust the head forward or hold
It down unless you desire 10 cultivate the
double chin habit.
Don't lean your face on your hands or
support your head that way; it brings the
elbows into prominence and makes angles
instead OF curves out Of the lines Of your
figure; moreover, it pushes up the flesh OF
the face and helps form lines.

"The Fight For the Forests"

The American Magazine for Janu

under the above heading by Stewar
) Edward White. We say timely be
cause of the fact Congress is now il
session and some action will be taker
on the Forest Reserve measure be-
fore it adjourns.
Hepburn, Carter, Clark, Patterson
and Fulton lead an attack DURING
the last session, but just what their
attitude will be this session is at pre-
sent question to which even a con-
lecture Is not ventured by the edi-
tor of these columns who wishes to
champion the interests of forestry by
presenting the matter to her readers
as 1t is reviewed by careful writer's,
and perchance, add occasionally a
little from her personal experience
which has been somewhat extended
as she comes from family whoshave
dealt in timber in its native state as
well as manufactured lumber for two
generations and more.
Mr., White captures the eye, ear
and heart of the real forest lover
who lives his summer camping trip
over and over all during the long
winter evenings by telling it to his
friends and planning with them for
another and always more extended
one next year when we will have

liant over their success and love for
for the forest with its big game,
deep SHOWS, and exciting adventures.
How many times have heard of it
here in our own little town of Black
foot when the hunters returned from
their holiday vacation which was so
happily spent in seeking the game of
our native forests.
We happened to be visiting in st. |

gentleman returned from Jackson
Hole after successful hunt and
camp of a week or two, and noted
in his conversation that the love and
desire he had for killing the deer
was secondary thought to the en-
joyment and pleasure he derived
from the very wonders of the forest
itself; for in mentioning the game,
he always looked a little hurt as he
shook his head and said rather soft

beautiful, graceful deer When we
would ask some pointed question

New Years Reception.

The Round Table Club of Idaho
Falls, gave a public reception, an6
book shower, from two to six D. m
on New Years day.
The ladies urgently requested the
public to come to the reception, and
bring a book, or the price of a book
to help along public library.
The reception was given in the
Masonic Lodge Hall, which was very
artistically and appropriately deco
rated for the occasion.
Beautiful white New Years bells,
strings of smilax, cut flowers, and
plants formed the decorations.
A very pretty booth was. arranged
in one corner of the hall, where frap-
pc and waters were served.
Delightful orchestra music was
rendered during the afternoon, also
two violin solos. Souveniers in the
FORM of New Years bells were given
each person before leaving the hall.
Taking the affair as a whole it was
one of the most profitable as we'll as
enjoyable events of the season, as
the ladies were the recipients of
nice collection of books.
