Long ostrich feathers will play a very
important part in the new millinery;
in fact, many of the smartest models
having nothing else on them, and the
effect is so charming that everyone will
wish to possess at least one hat
trimmed in this picturesque style. A
very elegant n is depicted in our
sketch. The shape is in a pretty shace
of cinnamons straw, with a long Nell
Gwynn ostrich feather encircling the
crown, and finishing off with a clusts y
of choice tips, n an osprey, which
can be worn either on the right or left
side. The feathers are in a lovely

If o are placing a handsome rug
on the ~dining-room floor, you will need
to protect it, especially if there are
children at the house who are none too
careful of crumbs. A good covering
can be made of very dark cretonne,
with a hem turned at each side. 1t can
be stretched over the rug and secured
at h corners with thumb tacks. A
mating rug is useful, though heavier
to handle. 1t should be made of strips
of mating, sewed together and lilo
ends bound with colored calico or any
heavy material which will prevent the
material from breaking or @tearing
apart.
If you buy a new paint or whitewash
brush, do not use it before soaking IN
lukewarm water. This will prevent
the hairs or bristles from coming ont.
A 10-cent whisk broom is useful for a
whitewash brush when withdrawing
in the cellar or yard. 1t is much
lighter than the ordinary brush. This
best varnish brush is a soft camel-hair
one. 1t will be expensive, yet a good
one about two inches wide will last
almost a lifetime in the average house,
nOlu, ana WDefe NdrHlStlillB Is lfeQuSHt-
ly done at home, it Is cheap to buy the
best. II, after painting, you will need
the paint brush in a day or two, leave
it in a can of water. A brush can be
washed with soap and water and thor
oughly cleaned to put into paint of a
different color. Add plenty of kero-
sene to the suds. Never use a paint
brush for vanishing purposes.
A folding bed is the harbor of mis-
cradle pests and the only way to get
rid of them is to use plenty of gaso-
line, mixed with carbolic acid. After
wards fill all cracks in the wood with
yellow soap or soft beeswax and paint
or svarnish the inside. 1t is a good idea
to paint the inside white, giving two
coats of white gloss paint.
The kitchen should be ventilated
| many times a day, certainly at all
| times of cooking. Reeking odors of hot
foods should be given speedy outlet for
three reasons-to keep the food I'M
tainted, to keep the kitchen clean and
to make the housewife comfortable.
The dining room and living rooms
| should be aired once a day, as well as
all halls and windows thrown as wide
open as is consistent with the weather.
But the. blow of fresh air through the
house should never be forgotten.

Fine white India linen or lawn may
be USED in the making of a garment
like that pictured above. The yoke and
sleeves are in n piece, giving the
popular mandarin effect, embroidered in
star designs, and with scalloped button
holed edges. From the yoke the ma
terial falls in wide side plaits. The
jacket laps to the left, where it is
caught with a bow of white wash
ribbon.

A beautiful quilt for the baby's coach
is made by putting two thicknesses of
lambs wool between surah silk. The
quilting, instead of being made with
stitches, is caught in place by large
roses made of ribbon. Ribbon is also
used in the style of art noveau to dec
crate the border OF the guilt.

A charming picture hal in black
crinoline is simply trimmed with one
very long and lovely ostrich feather in
an exquisite shade Of Natter blue,
which is very>full at the tip and forms
the sole trimming. This could be copied
with feathers of any other shade that
made a good contrast with the black
crinoline.
A becoming. mushroom hat of pale
pink fancy straw has the crown entire
ly yelled with light clusters of shaded
pink sweet peas and green foliage, and
has no other trimming besides a tall
white osprey on the left side. This
model is just as pretty in any other

dainty effect to the crown.

Health and Beauty
For Ebery Woman
Dnn1bbeN Exercise to Promote Physical
Beauty owiShdng Food and Sleep
to Increase the Weght--7he
Cure of FLESH Worms.
BY MADAME ALTA.

1AtiClSt is one IL THE
simple forms of physical culture, yet
one OF the most approved and popu-
lar methods for developing the chest,
throat and arm muscles and for stimu-
iating the circulation of the blood.
Raise the arms swiftly and rapidly,
holding the %dumbbells the while well
out from the chest. Throw out both
arms ten or twenty times, and follow
by raising the bells we'll over the head
as shown in the accompanying cut.
Rest the hands on the shoulders and
strike out from the body, repeating
ten or twenty times. Next rest the
bells on the chest and strike out for
ward from the body, one hand at a
time, repeating as many times as the
former exercise.
The beauty of the bell exercise Is
that SO many figures may be prac-
tised and SO many may be ~self-taught.
1t is important that a woman should
never exercise to the limit of her
strength. She should avoid exhaustion
and should never wear any but the
loosest kind of garments and loW-heeled
shoes-or better still shoes without
heels at all
If these simple rules are followed for
a short time the results will be all that
can be desired, and the subject will
soon show signs of health, strength and
added beauty.
Dear Madame Alta:
What is the correct weight and
height for a young girl Is Years of age?
l am 5 feet 2 inches in height and in
weight Ill pounds, but would like to
weigh more. Please let me know in
THE STAR how I can become stouter
and I will DE very thankful for your
advice. READER.
The average weight for a women
your height is 115 pounds, and the
minimum weight 9S pounds, so you see
you are not far below the average.
Unless you lave some chronic ailment
that would retard your natural de-
velopment there is no reason Why you
should not be stouter. Drink hot milk
at your meals instead of tea or coffee,
and sip a glass of hot milk before re-
firing. This will induce healthful sleep
and help build up the tissue. Eat
plenty of potatoes, cereals and foods
that contain starch or sugar proper
ties. Juicy steak or chops will be very
good for you. See that you get plenty
OF outdoor exercise and at least nine
hours sleep.
Dear Madame Alta:
Viii you kindly advise me what l
should do to develop my arms and II
possible my hands, as they are both
very thin. Thanking you in advance,
7 am. =. II, V.
/ know of nothing better than dumb
bell exercise to develop your arms and
hands. Procure a pair of dumbbells,
not too heavy, and exercise with them
five or ten minutes every morning. and
the same length of time before retiring.
Don't attempt to exercise in a room
that is not ventilated. Open the win
dows so you will have pure, fresh air
to breathe. Massaging the hands n
arms with a good skin food will build
up the tissues and a flesh. Moth
ing would be better for this than cocoa
butter. Work into the hands and
arms daily, using a rotary movement
at all times.
