1T is not impossible said the doctor
Ito tell what other people are thinking
about, but it is often impossible TO tell
what they are doing.
"A patient of mine. who rides to and
from town every day in a street car, is
practicing a cure and nobody knows it.
He came to me two months ago asking
for remedy to reduce his weight. 1
examined him and recommended that he
take no medicine whatever, nor change
his diet. But I did suggest some cor
receive habits.
The man looked fat and shapeless
when he came to me. His heart was all
right, but he knew as little about breath
ing as a mummy. l stood him up here
before the mirror an asked him to let
bis arms hang loosely, throw out the
chest and to note that when the chest
is forward, the stomach is where it be-
longs. When he looked at himself, he
exclaimed: Why, I don't look so fat
now
He had relaxed so much that he had
lost all his shape.
My directions to him were simple.
Anybody can benefit from the practice
Of them, as they take no special time.
Here they are:
Sit up straight.
Don't breathe at the top OF the lungs,
but all over the lung surface.
Don't gasp, but breathe rythmically-
this is important-and always through the
nostrils.
When you walk, keep the position you
took before the mirror. inhale deeply for
five steps, hold the breath for five more
steps, and exhale five.
do this daily and regularly and bit by
bit increase the number of steps.
When you go to bed. lie for a few
minutes on the back and compose the
body through regular breathing. When
you feel drowsy take the position most
comfortable TO you and go to sleep.
These are simple rules" said the doc
tor, but any man or woman who prac-
tees them faithfully will correct the
dowdy, all-fallen-in appearance most
people have, the lungs win be employed
fully, as they should be. and chest and
stomach VIII tone up at once.
''Furthermore." he continued, ''the
practice OF these rules is the greatest
training for the win that a man can,

undivided attention for five minutes Of
their stay; and, unless they are quite
formal acquaintances, paying brief calls
with the utmost decorum, these unre-
poseful-nay. fidgety-young women will
feel impelled to sit in every comfortable
chair in the room before taking their
departure.
1t cannot be too often reiterated that
the voice has more to do with charm
than any other attribute, and the woman
who schools herself to retain the medium
or low range scores a success, for the
strong impulse is to raise the feminine
keynote higher.

tener-and this by no means consists
simply in refraining from interrupting
or looking bored. Neither is It true that
good listeners. like artists. are born. not
made. ..
The charming woman also knows that
an exit should be effective. and she is
not unmindful Of the way she enters a
room and stands or sits down.
Not only is the unreposeful, the fussy.
or the gushing manner not conducive
TO charm. but incessant laughter kills
Il entirely. Yet there are women who
give a laugh with nearly every sentence
they utter, and the effect on the listener
is rasping, for while a frequent smile
is charming. a too-frequent laugh is
utterly wearying.
Rich elements OF charm are possessed
by many who are not credited with II
because they do not develop their gift.
and II is equally true that those who
have not the gift as birthright may
win II by cultivation

FrenquentIy it happens that when a
woman of no great beauty makes her
adieus to group Of friends, leaving
a decidedly pleasing impression of her
SELF the foolish question arises whether
the nameless charm of personality,
which they all accord her. can possibly
be cultivated II not bestowed as a gift
of the gods. and the thoughtless ones
unite in declaring in the negative
The fact, is however, that the woman
whose charm they are envying as the
benign bestowal of heaven has created
it for herself, first by perceiving what
constitutes it, and then persistently de-
veloping it to the full extent OF her
powers.
It must of course. be developed along
the lines Of ones own individuality, for
the charm exerted by the athletic girl,
for instance, is essentially different and
has a different appeal from that Of the
girl of artistic temperament or that Of
the woman specially gifted with the
home-making faculty. though each be
thoroughly captivating.
RepOse Il Element of Charm.
Some young women of excellent So
cial opportunities seem utterly hopeless
aspirants for the distinction OF charm,
simply because they have no perception
Of what repose means, entirely uncon-
vineed that the woman who wishes to
attain charm must learn to be quiet IN
her movements and not put SO much
swish in her garments that she an
nounces her coming while YET great

PROBLEM OF GIRL LOFTO-DAY
STUMPER TO PARENTS
She Is Condition and Not Theory, and Her Par
ents Know Just About as Much of What to Do
With Her as the Old Hen That
Hatched Out Swan.

an athlete. and who looks at life very
much with the eyes Of boy
This girl, when she comes home from
school, finds nothing adequate to her
wants in the life she is asked to lead.
She can't satisfy herself with the vapid
rounds Of society. She can't absorb her
self in the hunt for a husband, for,
while she means to marry If the right
man comes along, marriage is not the
be all and the end all in life for her, as
1t is for the fluffy ruffies girl.
This girl has no occupation at home,
because servants do the actual work, and
her mother naturally is not going to ab-
dicate her throne as ruler of the house
for chit of a daughter. Also the girl
yearns for financial independence. She
doesn't want to go to even the most in
dulgent Of fathers for every penny.
1t is easy to sneer at this girl for her
restlessness and discomfort, and to tell
her that she doesn't know when she Is
well of and that she should be thankful
that she had a good home to live in and
parents able to support her and this Is
exactly what her father and mother do,
and they accuse her Of being a wicked
and ungrateful girl when she persists in
wanting to go out and try her own
wings.
II her parents were wiser they would
try to look at the girls side Of the Ques-
ton. and to realize that she is bound to
have some outlet for her energies, and
young strength, some occupation for her
idle hands, some object upon which she
can expend her bottled-up enthusiasm.
Some girls can find this in society.
Some can't. To be able to make a career
Of bridge whist you have to be born that
way, and the sooner parepts realize this,
the sooner we shall put a stop to trage-
dies that darken so many homes.
Occupy Her.
There is but one solution Of the prob
lem of the unoccupied girl, and that is
to occupy her. 1t is even more true Of
women than men that Satan finds work
for idle hands to do. and the only way
to keep a girl out Of mischief is to keep
her busy.
II a girl wants to be Of some use in
the world and to work, her parents are
not only foolish, they are criminal, to re-
fuse her the right to try her powers. and
they have only themselves to blame If,
in an excess Of boredom at having moth
ing to do. she runs of from home, to find
the natural liberty Of action that she
had right to, and that has been denied.
Perhaps she may find out that she is not
was, perhaps when she finds out how
hard It is to earn money with her own
hands she may be glad enough to come
back and let papa give 1t TO her; but
even so, she will be wiser and better
contented the balance of her life for
having made the experiment.
At any rate, this much is certain-the
little fiedgling of to-day has got TO try
her wings, and it's a wise papa and
mama bird who let her make her first
flight under their guidance, instead OF
forcing her to sneak out Of the nest on
the sly.

The TERM "TEETorAL."

Friday last, the Glasgow Herald re-
minds us, was the eightieth anniver-
sary of the birth of that now famous
term "teetotal." On September ),
1881, it recalls, seven members of the
Preston Temperance Society allowed
Joseph Livesey to affx their names to
a pledge of total abstinence. They are
known as The Seven Men of Pres
ton" and for the most part their
names are forgotten. Livesey is re-
membered. He did not invent the
term teetotal,' but had the good sense
to adopt it. Richard Turner, a coun-
tryman, declared with a stutter at one
of the Preston meetings that he would
be a "real-down, Out-and-out, tee-tee-
total for ever and ever" Turner all
but stuck with the name, and the
name in its turn has stuck.
