Do You Breathe

Do you know that. as q rule. few
people breathe properly? They are
actually too lazy to perform the func-

themselves they impair the beauty of

Nose breathing and deep breathing
are most important and magical aids
to health and beauty, There is little

Rather startling, isn't IL? But It is
true. as startling things often are.
Deep nose breathing cannot be too
often practiced when In the open air,
and the purer and clearer the air the
deeper should be the breaths. Try this
often and il will become g pleasant

The Back Yard
Vacation

Did you ever try a back yard vaca-
ton? It's q whole heap better than
nothing, though not as satisfying as
the real thing"
The preparation for such a vacation
IS not elaborate, the most exacting de-
mand being the possession Of child's
crib with one side cut on and the legs
shortened 10 couch size. AS the vaca-
ton will last all summer II is well to
paint this couch white and cover the
mattress with green Bingham and the
pillows with the same material. The
covers should be removable.
Over the couch is fastened a large
canopy umbrella, the kind street takers
use. which should be fastened to 3
strong iron stand painted white with 8
top that will answer as a table The
umbrella can be adjusted TO any height,
and IL is attractive II covered with
green and white striped awning.
With these two articles Of furniture
and a cotton rug to spread on the grass

II has been said that the widow Is

is not due solely TO that cause. The
men flock around her for various rea-

the brightness Of a girl with the sensi-
bility of a woman. a rare combination
much appreciated by mere man. Some
times because she has money is wild

This is usually the case, for 1t will be
observed that the poor widow is not

To Keep School
Friendships

Many girls when they leave school
to go to business are puzzled as to
how to keep Up friendships with their
old school chums. A girl who has re-
Gently left school has solved this prob
lem for herself by inventing a third
Thursday" as she calls IT, On this
evening every month all her friends
meet at her house for an informal
gathering. She sends postcards out a
few days beforehand to remind them
OF the date, and often as many as
twenty young people put In an ap-
pearance. They are not all girls, be-
cause some of her friends have broth
ers, and they are made welcome.
The youthful hostess makes some
plans for keeping her friends amused.
All manner Of round games are played,
and then sometimes there is a twostep
or & waltz, while for a change all
gather around the piano and join
heartily in singing popular songs.
Refreshments are reduced to the
minimum cost. Anything in the way
or SIT ooWn supper IS avoided ana
the eatables are handed around.
The greatest success has attended
the scheme, which has now developed
to such an extent that the same party
has arranged long walk to take place
every Saturday afternoon. The meet
ing is g fixed for Immediately after
lunch, and on these summer afternoons
tramps and saunters through the
woods will be in form, boating parties,
etc, any arrangement of time that
suits the place and the party best.

The rage for the all in one piece gar
ment and the kimono yoke and sleeves
have made the blouse bodice much IN
demand. The equally persistent domi-
nance OF the passion for yelling every
thing has also been greatly in favor Of
the blouse this season, for il enables
the wearer to bring the bodice into line
with the skirt.
Then third recommendation OF the
blouse for favor is the firm hold which
the coat and skirt have on fashions

decline in their favor.
