Teaches Girls How
to Look Their Best

A certain eastern physical culture
teacher is busy teaching girls how to
walk, stand and manage their clothes.
Il teach them how to look their
best" said she. ut is a hard job, for
most of them come to me in the raw
state, bad complexion and bad walk.
Il get girls ready to be bridesmaids,
and not long ago | prepared a young
woman to be maid of honor at a wed
ding. taught her how to walk, how to
stand, how to sit and how to stoop
over. These things all come under the
head Of physical culture.
THE training of the back. is the
most important of our tasks. There
is a new carriage for the back, and
| am teaching it to my society pupils.
L train the girls to be wedding
guests. This means a proper manage
ment of a train. The girl who wears
a trained gown must be nimble with
her heels. Of course, it is not con-
sidered polite to Kick ones train. Yet
this is exactly what a girl is compelled
to do. She must learn to kick it so
that the kick is invisible, however.
For the woman who is going to
adopt the new long skirt-a little
longer than convenient walking length
there are some suggestions. If your
skirt is very fashion2ble-two inches
too long in .front-practice walking
with a glide. Touch the ball of your
foot first, then gradually sink upon
your heels. This gives you the gliding
carriage. One hand must slightly lift
your gown in front. l teach my pupils
how to handle their elbows. They
must use them prettily and deliberate
ly and they must learn to hold them
easily"

coats or even those Of rubberized

cial rainy-day costume of some water
proof material.
Those are now made without a bit
of rubber in them.
There is a preparation, for instance,
that is applied to covert cloths, silks
and WOODEN fabrics, which makes them
so impervious to water that it may be
poured on the surface and will run

CHORUS LADY IN SAD

New York.-There was a fire Of
real flames on the top floor of the
rooming house on East Twenty-eighth
street the other night, and at the
same time there was a fire from in

top floor young Charles l.. Bronn had
fallen asleep smoking a cigarette, and
he was rescued just as the
flames were-but listen to what hap

rays, when the cry of fire reused the
house. Miss Svelte screamed.
DR.. Schmolke rushed to the door
and was gone in a second. Fremen
arrived, dragged lines of hose up the
stairway outside, an ambulance
changed in the street and a throng OF
curious folks gathered.
Miss Svelte kicked a hole in the
red lights, the green lights and the
yellow lights, and tried to stove a
hole in the bottom of the cabinet so
she could use it for q barrel and es-
cape. The cabinet of the raprtic eff.

Svelte, head only visible, crying
"Help!"
The fremer began to unfasten the
cabinet, and to their amazement her
screams redoubled. She nodded with
her head to her clothes that lay on
chairs, and the firemen vanished like
shadows.

Soon DR.. Schmokle came back. He
was very sorry that Miss Sveyte had

effects of the red and green lights had
been lost in her fright.
Il was outside guarding you all the
time" he said.
Brown, rescued from the top floor,
had a narrow escape. He awoke to
find the room in flames, and tried to
run out with the mattress as a shield
but fell fainting. John H. Wilson, a
fellow boarder, found him and rescued
him.

New Millinery Fad.

Among the many new fancies in mil.
linery are hats with velvet brims and
soft silk crowns, which are usually
trimmed with cog feathers. Another
fancy is to cover a wire frame with
pink taffeta ruchings, placed SO close
ly together that the effect is that oil
feathers. These are trimmed with a
twist of velvet and a buckle and are
very becoming.-The Housekeeper.

BURIED ALIVE FOR SIX DAYS.
Wife Finally Rescued from Living
Tomb and Lives Short Time.

e London.-An extraordinary case of
intentional live burial is reported in a
medical publication. 1t occurred in
the Betul district, C. p
A man named Dana was tried for
the murder of Indro, his wife. She
had been suffering from chronic dysen-
terry, and the husband took her and
the family to another village. Here
he appeared to have abandoned his
wife and returned with the children
to his own village. He said that he
had left the woman with an exorcist
for treatment.
The village authorities sent for the
man, however, and the wife was made
over to him. But he came back the
same day, saying that the woman had
died on the way and that he has buried
her.
Six days later a villager saw some
thing move in the jungle, and his cat
tie SHE'D when they went near the
place. A search was made by the
authorities, and they found a grave
with the leg of a woman clearly Wis
ible. They heard her say: Il am not
dead" and she also said that her hus-
band had buried her.
After being lifted out Of the grave
and given food, the woman was sent
to the Badnur hospital and lived IL
days longer. The accused man was
sentenced to transportation for life.
The extraordinary part of the story,
apart from the callousness of the hus.
band, adds the medical paper, is the
fact that the woman must have lain
in the shallow grave, covered with
leaves and branches, for six or seven
days without food or water, and then
survived IL days longer.

For Shirt Waists.

There is nothing prettier for shirt
waists than silk-faced poplin, for the
goods can be neatly plated, tucked
and made into practically any dainty
shirt waist from the plain tailored one
to the dressy affair with lace or vel
vet garniture. The white poplin has
countless advantages. 1t sells for
about so cents a yard, and possesses
innumerable good qualities which
make it valuable to the economical
woman. The material washes beau
tifully and may be ironed while per-
fectly dry and has a soft cashmere ap-
perance, or the beautiful tailored effect
is produced in starching the goods. It
launders as beautifully as fine white
linen. Poplins of this kind may be
purchased in various colors, though
nothing quite takes the place Of the
white for shirt. waists, and The madras
effects with white figures are ysry
dainty.

The first Americans never Haunted feathers upon their heads with moro
extravaganza than their Iar successors have seen fit to this season. It would
be futile to attempt to describe the endless variety of fancy feathers, but it

A M%anicuring Tip.

If the hands are not good and the
nails badly shaped, try to improve the
latter by training the cuticle. Every
night soak the fingers in hot water for
five minutes. Then with an orange
wood stick press back the cuticle to
lengthen the nails. Afterward rub in
cold cream Do not omit this or the
soaking will make the cuticle very
dry.

the Artesia Advocate received last
weeks issue of that publication. 1t
was the same elsewhere, outside of
Antesia. for the issue of last week
was excluded from the mails. This
action was taken by a clerk in the
postoffice at Artesia during the abb

ground that the publication contain
ed an article that was libeious. The
article in question stated that Editor
NewaSirk of the Pecos Valley News

ND over a statement in the News that
a petition had been presented to the
election ON the liquor question. The
Advocate denied the truth of the
statement ON the word of the mayor

saying that some of the ministers

the board while the mayor was alb
