PRACTICE LESSON HELD
ON THURSDAY EVENING
Mrs. Louise Mcintyre
Teaches Health Culture.
Another Meeting TO he Held This
Evening ut the Home Of Mrs. II.
II. Snyder on East Church street.

a most interesting meeting was held
last evening at the home of Mrs Sid
ney Young on south Prospect street
At that time Mrs. Louise l.. Mcintyre
and her assistants gave lesson In
health culture to those who have be-
come interested in right living as the
result of the lecture which Mrs. Nc
Gntyre gave before the club women
Of this city on Wednesday afternoon.
This was a practice lesson. and no
one was Invited who would not par
ticipate i'm the work. Mrs. Mcintyre
began the lesson by teaching the wo-
men how to stand and to breathe. She
explained in thorough and interest
ing way the necessity of breathing
and said that women are much poorer
breathers than men. This Is caused
principally by wearing clothing which
interferes with the action of the lungs
allowing only the upper lobes 70 be
used. She proved to the women pres
ent. by the use of a tape line, that the
average woman had but two and one
half inches expansion. whereas five
inches was necessary for proper oXy-
genation of the blood. Then followed
most interesting series of exercises
for increasing the breathing capacity
Numerous exercises were given To
increase the activity of the liver, kid
neys stomach, and other vital or.
gans and much laughter was created
by the efforts Of the women to follow
the instructions Of their leader. II
happiness is one OF the requisites for
health, then the women present surely
secured some of the required elements
in the lesson last evening. for they all
agreed that they had not had such
good time for years, besides gaining
much useful knowledge. The women
will meet again this evening at the
home of Mrs II. r. Snyder, az 4lO

The Ingenious
Miss Davis
By Barley Jones

The ingenious Miss Davis came
aboard the Baltic at Southampton with
her father to make the trip to New
York. She was a young lady Of is,
and her father was a venerable man of
55. We all felt sorry for them the mo
ment they stepped on board. First,
they had not secured their passage in
the regular way, and next. the father
had just received a telegram recalling
him to London. The steamer was full
up with passengers and for a few
minutes 1t seemed that Miss Davis
would have to go ashore with her
father or take quarters in the steerage.
Then Mr.. Edgar Greenleaf, a young
man from New York, who had been
seeing Europe and wasting a good deal
OF money to bring back loud clothes
and high collars, caught sight Of the
handsome girl and the problem was
Iolved. He would double up with
some male passenger, and give her his
stateroom. She protested and her
father protested, but young Mr.. Green
leaf would have 1t so. When the girl
smiled on him, the venerable father
patted him on the back and made the
necessary financial arrangements with
the purser, and the big steamer began
to plow the waves.
Miss Davis struck a good thing. She
had a good stateroom all to herself
she was by all odds the best looking
girl on board-she made herself a
taVorite almost at once, and IL the 20 or
more young men on the Baltic were in
love with her inside OF three days, it
was nothing to be ashamed Of 1t is
to be doubted If any young lady ever
crossed the Atlantic alone who was
made more Of. She was nominally I'M
der the captains charge, but bless your
soul, he would have had to lock her
up to keep the crowd away. She could
sing, recite, mimic, pitch quoits, play
ball and bring the sweetest kind of
music from the piano, and you may
add a melodious voice, a handsome
face and perfect figure to that. The
story she told was that she and her

need be but a cheap wire frame.
Upon this construct an affair com
posed Of five and ten dollar bills,
which may be folded and twisted into
leaves and draperies, then garnish
the design with bangles of gold and
silver coins
The anxious father sighed morose-
ly.

might be all right If 1t wasn't that

father had been to London to lay claim
to vast estate. Their claim had been
recognized, and there was every pros.
pect of its being allowed, when they
would have millions at their command.
They were merely going home after
some papers that had become neces-
sary to the case. No one doubted her
story but it served to make some
young men rather shy of her. They
became afraid of those millions. With
them in her pocket she could have her
pick of lords and dukes and counts
and barons and sirs.
Young Mr.. Greenleaf naturally held
the best cards up to a certain point
He had done nice thing by giving
up his stateroom, and of course Miss
Davis was properly grateful. In a
way he became her cavalier. That is
he headed the list and monopolized
most of her time. On the third day
from Southampton, notice was posted
up that Mr.. Greenleaf had lost a valu-
able pearl and diamond pin. Some few
questions were asked, but no one took
any great interest. The loser could
have told the purser that he missed
the pin half an hour after sitting in
cozy corner on deck with Miss Davis
at his elbow, but he didn't go into par
ticulars.
On the next evening young Mr..
Thompson, who had left his mother
alone, In order that no one should chide
him when he smoked too many cigar
cites and drank too many cocktails.
gave his arm to Miss Davis for a walk.
She had slight favor to ask of him.
Her dear father had left her plenty of
money, but it was in 500 bills Would
he kindly give her small bills in
change? He would. He went to his
stateroom and got the money, and she
thanked him, but did not hand over the
hundred. 1t was a case of absent
mindedness, OF course, and he did not
call her attention to 1t. She PLAYED
the same trick on two other young
men before she left the deck. They
could have told each other Of II and
arrived at conclusion. but they said
nothing.
At noon the next day a whisper
