The Distinctive Touch.

No matter how plain the material
Of the little corset cover or chemse
or how simple the garments must be
made. there is always a way to give
them distinctive touch, to make
them truly our own possessions.
This can be done by the simple lit
tie embroidered wreath inclosing the
given name and done with No. 90
white embroidery cotton. Use the
heavier cotton in order to save the
stitches and yet to give the same eff
feet as that done with finer thread.
A design can be copied from any
pattern that seems attractive, and can
be used again and again. In fact, the
repeated design then becomes as
much our own as the name it sur
rounds, which makes it doubly per
sonal.
When Dusting.
Don't use a feather duster except fol
pictures, as 1t simply moves the dust
from one place to another.
The best plan is to have at hand a
bowl Of clean cold water: wiring a cloth
ont of this as dry as possible. and use
it to remove the dust. Then quickly
polish with a. clean. dry duster If al
lowed to dry before r1ibbing the furni
ture will look smeary.
Books shonid be busted mt least once
fortnight A dry duster must be uset
for this. as damp one might cause mil
dew. If the bindings have become mil
dewed. try rubbing them with yer,
little ammonia They should be rubbed
dry with n clean duster immediatel,

Hints on EXERCISING.

Be regular. III possible take exer-
else daily, at least, three or four times
a week.
Do not over exercise. From twenty
minutes to an hour a day is enough
for the average person.
Do not exercise haphazardly Fol-
low some regular plan Avoid unequal
development: go in for all-round
moverr entS, and do not stick to one
kind OF exercising that you like to the
exclusion OF keeping other parts of
the body in training.
Do not 60 in too hard for exercise
Worl, slowly rather than rapidly at
any time. and. at first, go in for light
exercises and avoid always the hand-
ling Of weights too heavy for you.
Do not exercise to the point of ex-
huastion. y muscle should only feel
slightly fatiened when a movement is
through. There shoufd be no sense
Of strain.
Exercise the left side of the body
more than the right, if one is not left
handed: otherwise reverse Children
nowadays are being trained t. be am
pideXtrous
BE rr,porly clothed f"r your cxercis :
ing Your garments should be loose
and light Never exercise in a tight
corset belt or collar. Shoes should
be loose and rubber soled if one is
working on a slipper floor. or bad
falls may result.
Do not expect impossibilities from
exercising. Developments. especially
where there are faults to be corrected,
are necessarily slow. Be patient. judi
cious, and steadfast in your hope for
gain in any form Of exercising.
