Outdoor Life Necessary.

The longest-lived men are those en-.
gagged In healthy outdoor occupations.
such as farming, simply because they
lead an active, muscular life in the
open air.
Bodily active keeps at bay the dis
eases Of %sedentary middle life. Govt
and rheumatism lie in wait for the
mar who does not walk five miles in
the week, who hates games and be-
lieves that golf and tennis are silly
and a waste nf time.
1t is the active, busy woman who
keeps her complexion when she is past
forty years of age, and girls twenty
years her junior grow sallow and
anaemic for lack of outdoor exercise.
You must live a sedentary life, you
say? We don't belieev it. Even II
your day is spent In an office or a
shop, you have the early morning for
a cold bath, and twenty minutes with
dumb-bells. You have your evenings,
and you have your week-ends.

FRAME FOR WINDOW
HOW HARMONY IN CURTAINS
MAY BE SECURED
Woodwork, Wall Coverings and Fur
niture Must All Be Uniform II
the Best Results Are to
Be Arrived At.

Woodwork, wall coverings and type
Of furniture should all be taken into
account when the curtains are
planned; and there should also be
uniformity in the appearance of the
windows from the outside. The best
way is to put pane curtains in all the
windows facing the street, hanging in
side the draperies assigned to dec
crate the room.
The pane curtains are made of some
light material and run on rods which
fit into the window casing close
against the pane, the linen window
shades drawing up and down between
these pane curtains and the draperies
within. Much filed pane curtains and
those looped back or crossed over
each other are not as fashionable as
straight curtains Of conventional pat
tern, and these curtains may be sim
ply hemmed OF bordered with a mar
row ball fringe.
Creamy window hangings are often
far more harmonious In brown, vel
low, green or rose tints. Women who
can stencil cleverly are putting arts
tic stencilled ~hangings in library, den
and dining-room windows with ex'
cellent effect.
When the ceilings are over-high for
the size Of the room, a more grace
full effect may be achieved by the use
Of valances. Indeed, the valance is
the smart thing now in window dra'
perry, and unless the windows are
very low, add greatly to the attractive
less of the hangings. The valance is
a strip Of the curtain material set be
tween the two long curtains and fall
ing ten inches or so across the top OF
the windows, making the opening be
tween the curtains rectangular rather
than V-shaped, as is the Ease with
draped back h~angings.
Great care must be taken in making
the valance to have the hem perfectly
even and the casing at the top the
same width as the casing in the
longer curtains. A thread should be
drawn In both curtains and valance to
make sure the measurements are
exact. 1t is these little details OF
exactness which give the professional
touches, and no matter how anxious
n is to get the curtains up to see
the effect, the work should not be
slurred over or the result will surely
be amateurish and bad.

DOCTOR MAKES A MISTAKE
Good Story Told Of a Popular Physl.
clan Who Made Blunder In Sending
Out Two Parcels.

A droll story is told of one OF the
most popular physicians in Vienna, He
was not a little astonished at the con-
tents Of two letters which he received
lately. They stated, in terms the re-
verse Of flattering, that his drugs had
not merely done no good. but had act
ually aggravated the troubles they
were mentioned to cure.
The doctor consulted his notebook,
and the truth at once dawned upon
him. About six weeks ago, an actress,
a brunette, then performing in the
Merry Widow" called upon him. Her
beauty was of the Spanish type, and a
~perceptible down which shaded the
nnely formed upper lip of the actress
had daily begun to grow darker. She
t1midly stated her case and besought
the doctor to give her a remedy for
the unwelcome growth. The doctor
promised to send her a remedy with
the utmost privacy.
Immediately after the actress had
gone a young lieutenant came in to
PAyoiNAoh. III 6ldfS IOuOS
he told his tale Of woe. The faint in
dications Of his m~ustache, in spite of
all his efforts, would not develop as
rapidly as he desired. The doctor
laughingly undertook to help him out
OF his difficulty, and promised the
young lieutenant, who was trying in
vain to curl the ends of his mustache,
to send the remedy to his address by
a trusty messenger.
The scales now fell from the Doctors
eyes. Either he himself or his mes.
senger had exchanged the small par.
GELS containing such opposite RENE
dies-thence the bitter complaints and
reproaches. The drugs had, the doc
tor found, acted most e~ffectually. The
actress was obliged to have recourse
to soap and razor to get rid of the lux
uriant growth on her upper lip, while
the lieutenant was ready to tear out
the hair of his head at the loss of the
few struggling hairs of his mustache.
