EFFECT OF WATER ON WOOD.

pTYHE effect of water in softening or
ganic tissue. as in wetting a
- piece of paper or a sponge, Is
wen Known, and so is the stltfenlng ell
feet of drying. The same law apphest TO
wood. BY different methods OF season.
ing two pieces of the same stick may
be given very different degrees OF
strength.
Wood in It's green state contains
moisture in the pores of the cells. like
honey in a comb, and also in the sub
stance Of the cell walls. AS seasoning
begins, the moisture in the pores is
first ~evaporated. This lessons the
weight of the wood. but does not af-
feet it's strength. 1t is not until the
moisture in the substance of the cell
walls is drawn upon that the strength
of the wood begins to increase. Sclentl-
fically, this point is known as the
characterization point" From this
condition to that on absolute dryness
the gain in the strength OF wood Is
somewhat remarkable. In the case of
spruce the strength is multiplied TOUR
times; indeed, spruce, in small sizes,
thoroughly dried in an oven, is as
strong, weight for weight, as steel.
Eve AFTER the rtdDSOI PUN " iioiSt
ure. when the wood is again exposed
to the air, the strength of the sticks
is still from so to $50 per cent. greater
than when it was green. When, in dry
ing, the fbre-saturation point Is passed,
the strength of wood increases as dry
Ing progresses, in accordance with a
definite law, and his law can be used
ito calculate from the strength of a
stick at one degree of moisture what
its strength will be at ally other de-
gree.
Manufacturers. engineers n build
ers need to know not only the strength
but the weakness of the materials they
use. and for this reason they are quite
as much interested in knowing how
timbers are affected by moisture as
they are in knowing how they are
weakened by knots, checks, c~ross-grain
and other defects; It. is obvious that
where timbers are certain to be weak
ened by excessive moisture they will
have to be used in larger sizes, for
safetv. So far, engineers Of timber
tests. while showing that small pieces
gained greatly in strength, do not ad-
wise counting on the same results in
the seasoning of large timbers. owing
Ia the fact that the large timbers

Learn to Be Graceful.

1tAAh ~
If half the women who aim at being
graceful and beautiful would only give
some thought to their movements when
walking, their effort would not be SO
great and, they would be far lovelier
to look, at.
Women, as a rule, walk far too rap
idly for anything like grace to enter
Into their movements. That is, We
American women, for we walk as we
do everything else, hurriedly, as if we
had not another minute to spare.
1t Is a noticeable fact hat tall wom-
en-, for some unknown reason, walk
more slowly than women of smaller
stature. Their elbows, shoulders n
hips move evenly from side to side with
every movement of their feet. a trick
their short sisters would do well to
copy. 80
If you want to be graceful don't look
at your feet, but hold your head well up
In the air. Don't shuttle. A little
thoughtfu1ness and practise in high
stepping will soon break you of this
ugly habit. Don't bend your back at
the waist, under the impression that
you are thereby walking erectly. 1t
throws the stomach forward and is
almost as inimical to grace as round
shoulders.
FINELY, don't allow yourself to walk
"pigeon-toed"-that is, with the toes
turned in or straight. You can never
be graceful In movement while you do.
Walk every day in the open air If
syou want to be beautiful. Walk with
- 8 even stride, and with the shout
ers well thrown back and ear to
,reatile properly while walking. Walk
ing is one of the best exercises O
woman can indulge in. If properly

selection of lingerie undergarments, and
the chemisette petticoat, made with it's
very neat. lacey waist portion and full-
hounced skirt is something to be de-
sired by all women. There is nothing
new in the cut of this garment, since
it follows the conventional lines of the
ordinary chemisette, and the skirt par
takes of all the beauty outlines of a
much-beruffled petticoat.
The band of black velvet, which is
again so popular, is sometimes adorned
by cunningly devised embroidery, which
adds color to the somber black. Often
the band is decorated with a trailing
vine with tiny blue or pink flowers;
then, again, 1t is adorned with a design
worked out in beads of glass and
china. For evening wear the velvet
band may be embroidered with rhine
stones. For afternoon dresses light
glass beads or ribbon are artistically
arranged upon the velvet. OF course,
the ~colors, when there are any, should
always match the dress or the trim
ming thereof, unless the dress be white.
Nearly every collar accompanying a
blouse or a gown hat it is not strictly
tailored is exceedingly high and finished
at the top with tulle pleatings which
are made to tan crispy Inc straightly
III from the throat. When such pleat-
ings are made of lace they should fall
In soft full rufiles over the top of the
collar instead of out of it, but this
style, be it understood, does not suit
every woman, especially one who has
a large, fat throat. On the contrary,
they are one of the compensations Of
fered by fashion to those who. because
of their lack of flesh are debarred the
comfort and the pleasure Of wearing
the Dutch collars.
