EXERCISE FOR THE MIDDLE AGED WOMAN

THE majority of women who reach
 that debatable point, middle age. which begins, so statistics tell us, at the age of forty, usually have a dis taste for exercise, and in consequence they take on superfiuous fat and de- velop unnecessary ills.
 The remedy for this trouble is both easy and inexpensive. Violent exer- else if not habitual would be exceed ingly bad for them, but they have the choice of walking, croquet, golf. cy- cling or gardening, all of which prove beneficial
 Walking has the disadvantage that 1t gives little work to the muscles of the back and abdomen, but in spite of this fact it is the best exercise for wo- men whose muscles are weak through want of use. When out of practice it is well to begin with a walk of mile or two and to rest when fatigued.
 In the course of a week the muscles will have become stronger and both the distance and the pace can be in- creased. Anything less than three miles will be found insufficient for

Unanswered Prayer

At the close of turbulent day. in which the wills of mistress and maid had clashed vio- lently. Mary sought permission to tele- phone.
 "To whom do you wish to speak?" asked her mistress.
 ITO the pastor of my church." said Mary.
 Taking that pious ambition as a sign of contrition, the mistress readily gave consent Mary went to the telephone.

BANG AND PSYCHE KNOT THE LATEST CORE ARRIVALS THE FASHION WORLD

hair is parted in innumerable strands all over the head and the stiff1y beaten white of the egg rubbed into the scalp with the finger tips. This is allowed to dry into the scalp, and the hair is then left unbrushed until the scalp is perfectly dry.
 Should one cling to the old method of cleansing the hair the following preparation is excellent for the pur- pose: Take one quart of bay rum and an ounce each of castor oil and tincture of cantharides Shake this well and apply to the scalp with the finger tips. If the hair Is very oily use half the quantity of castor oil.
 To come back to the arrangement of the hair, no one is so hopelessly homely that she cannot be improved by proper hairdressing. Comparatively few peo- pie have hair that is intrinsically beautiful. Lovely color, fine shade and charming texture, growth and outline are rare. The girl who can twist her hair up any way and look charming is fortunate. Most of us have to strug-

PLAIDS HAVE A VOGUE THIS
 EAl

SOME of the very best French suits
 this fall show delightful touches of plaid about them, and not only have the suits this enlivening trimming ap- piled to them, but hats are displaying scarfs and bindings of tartan designs.
 Plaids should be used with discretion when combined with plain materials. for too much plaid trimming will make a dress look commonplace and patchy. Too little of it conceals the beauty of its diverse coloring and design. Used happily, however, the contrasting plaid hues are especially appropriate for fall. Their bright autumn leaf colorings are just right for the cool, crisp days, when lighter tints seem faded.
 All the clan plaids are used this sea- son. A little preference Is given to those with a predominance of red, a color. by the way, which is insistently pushing its way into fashionable favor after a long absence. The plain color with which plaid is combined should harmoniZe or reflect some color fo9lnd in it to get the best and sn,artest re- suits.

Perfumes Pleasant and Other.
 wise

DERFUMES have a sanitary value
 when used properly. The abuse of perfume, though, ften makes the most ardent lover of sweet scents wish that their use might be prohibited to all women who deluge themselves with powerful essences.
 Who of us has not suffered in the stifling atmosphere of musk, patchouli or some other overwhelming odor?
 The we'll bred woman merely sug- gests a perfume; she never shouts it. The very last place she would think of putting scent is on her handkerchief. Having once selected the particular kind of perfume she likes. she keeps to it unchangingly.
 Even her bath salts, soap and face powder breathe the same odor, and be- cause it will always surround her she chooses the faint delicate perfume of some simple flower.
 Except as the finest of sprays used very sparingly, scent should never be directly applied. The triumph of being told one is reminiscent of a violet bed or rose garden will never be attained by such crude methods.
 Two or three tiny balls of cotton wool sprinkled with the desired per fume and concealed in the hem of the garment; sleeping in a cap. the crown of which is a sachet; sprinkling the hearts of artificial flowers upon hat; keeping gloves and veils in boxes be- tween sheets of plotting paper saturat- ed freshly every few days. these are the means by which a clever woman surrounds herself with an intangible perfume that is ever delightful.

Never Talk of Your Ills

A N exceedingly nervous woman went
 to a specialist He made an ex- animation, found nothing organically wrong and said so. The patient was disgruntled and began a list of her ailments.
 At the close of this she said, Have you no prescription to give me?'
 Yes, one that will cure you if you take it faithfully. Do not talk unless you can talk of agreeable things. If you have aches and pains, worries and suspicious. keep them to yourself. Never. talk of bodily ills except to a doctor. and to him as briefly as possi- ble. Share your troubles with no one"
 The woman left the office enraged, and the doctor said to the next patient: That woman thinks that l am a fraud, yet l have given her a well known scientific fact. The more one dwells on ills the longer ones mind is per mltted to take a doleful instead of a cheerful cast. and ones tongue follows suit: the greater is the physical de- pressiOn."
 It is good prescription for the world at large. Do not talk unless you can talk of pleasant subjects. Perhaps you cannot entirely control your thoughts Depression may grip you at times, but you can help talking about it. To do so bores the listeners and gets you into bad habit that is bound to affect health, happiness and char actAr

a IS BABY BACKWARD? @

where infantile paralysis has been in duced largely through overwalking.
 Trying to make the child talk too soon may have a serious effect upon its brain because such efforts lean to- ward overexcitement of the child's nervous system. The brain of young child over a year old is growing at a tremendous pace. It stands in no need of stimulation-quit the reverse. You stimulate it at the peril of doing it great harm. The less excitement young children have the better. Let them learn to talk gradually and let them take their time about it.
 There are some points, however, in which backwardness is a sign that there is something really wrong. The chief cause of this backwardness is imperfect bone formation of the fon- tanelle.
 This is the name given to the soft place just on the top of the baby's head. It is a French word and means little fountain"
 At birth this soft place is about the size of fifty cent piece. At six months old. if the child is strong and healthy, the space between the bones should have decreased, because with the pow CT of the bone what it ought to be the skull bones have grown and are com ing together. The soft place at six months old should be no bigger than a quarter.
 At twelve months it should be only the size of a dime, and when the child is two years old you should not be able to feel the spot at all. If the soft spot exists in a two-year-old child it is distinct proof that the child is back ward in its whole physical develop ment.
 At the end of the third month a baby should be able to hold it's head erect. By the sixth month it should be able to sit up straight and to hold rattle or something of the kind Be- tween the seventh and eighth months one or two teeth should be cut. There may. however, be some delay in the cutting of the teeth. Should there be no sign of tooth when the child has passed it's ninth month doctor should be consulted, as late teething is gen. eraIly due to some lack of bone form ing power.

The Winter Bouquet

VERY few homes are supplied
 through the winter with blossom ing plants, but the winter bouquet which was so popular with our grand mothers is always an added attraction to room. Lately these bouquets have been coming back into vogue.
 The country lanes and woods are lighted up with bright leaves and gay colored vines which may be carried home and pressed. A tall jar or jar diniere filled with gay leaves or grasses makes beauty spot in a room that Is within the reach of us all.
 A simple way to preserve leaves is to crystalline them. Into a jar of boiling water turn all the alum that the wa ter will dissolve. making what is known as a saturated solution. Dip the leaves one at a time in the solu- ton until the coating is as thick as desired. These crystallized leaves if allowed to dry each time before dip ping again make a dazzling appear ance. The coating is transparent, and the colors are not dimmed.

 Poached Eggs With Cheese.-Have ready five rounds of nicely toasted bread. They should not be too thin. Melt two level tablespoonfuls of butter add two tablespoonfuls of flour and a teaspoonful of salt and cook until frothy, then add gradually three fourths cupful of strained tomato pulp to which an eighth teaspoonfuI of soda has been added and half cupful of rich milk or cream. Dip the edges of the toast rounds in this, then pour the remainder over the toast and place on each an egg carefully poached in salt ed boiling water. Sprinkle each egg with grated cheese, set in the oven a moment or two until the cheese is melted and serve at once before the cheese stiffens
 A Luncheon Dish.-Toasted brown bread covered with cheese sauce makes a delicious luncheon dish. Make a white sauce with two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter and a cupful of milk. AS soon as the sauce thickens add a scant two cupfuls of American cheese broken into little pieces. Stir this into the sauce until it is smooth
 and then add a beaten egg, taking the sauce from the stove and beating rap- idly. Season with salt and paprika.

THIS is a question of interest to ev-
 cry mother with a baby. but chiefly, of course, to the mother who Is really backward or not.
 What is backwardness? What causes it? How shall it be detected? These are the questions that are considered here.
 A backward child is obviously a child that is not as forward as he should be at a given time.
 For instance. some children can walk at a year old; many cannot. But the child who cannot must not be claSsed as backward, nor need his mother be uneasy on his account. He is, as a rule. merely little slower in develop ing than others. When he is two years old he will probably walk just as sturdily as the one who was toddlng at twelve months
 If however, at two years of age he still makes no effort to get on his legs then he is decidedly backward, and the backwardness needs medical attention
 The same thing holds good with talking. Some children can talk much earlier than others. Some infants at eighteen months can converse quite in telligently in small way. At that age certain other children can say only few words. The first child in fam fly is often more backward in talking than his brothers and sisters. because he has not the example of the others to help him express himself but for wardness either in walking or talking is not so desirable a thing as some people imagine. For example. when a heavy child is put upon his feet, as he often is, at nine or ten months and is encouraged and urged to walk so that the proud boasts may be made that he walked at year old the fre- quent result is that his legs become bowed. If the poor little thing had had the good fortune to be more back ward that deformity probably would not have happened.
 Serious mischief Is often done to children in the desire to prove how forward they are, especially in this matter of walking They are encour- aged to walk far beyond their strength, and cases have occurred

SEPARATING THE HAIR.

is. parted across the center of the head. The front division of tresses is then parted in the middle and rolled Dutch fashion at the sides. the ends being wound neatly about the half high knot which is formed with the back hair. A fluffy faint fringe across the fore head softens the severity of the Ma donna parting The back hair must be combed up tight to the head to pre- serve the clear cut outline of the neck.

Next. portion of the front strands having been loosely waved-where nature has not been kind enough to attend to this part of the business-to form a pretty softening frame for the features, draw the forward strands over the shoulders and, starting at it's extreme end roll the rear strand over the fingers to the crown of the head and pin. at both ends. the puff thus formed. This makes a foundation about which to wind the front strands of hair.

termed 5y the poets "wornan's crown ing glory"
 It is good to make a try for some thing new occasionally, even if il is only coiffure, but it is equally fool ish to persist in arranging ones hair in a new fashion simply because it happens to be the mode. For example, the wearing of a bang is almost uni versal among Parisian women this fall. Unfortunately this is a fashion decid edly unbecoming to the French type of face. The heavy fringe that comes down to the eyebrows gives to FTenchwoman's face an expression that is far from attractive. Madame or mademoiselles forehead is apt to be her best facial feature. and hiding it is a great mistake. Indeed it requires a particularly pretty. youthful counte- nance or an unusually refined one to affect the bang successfully.
 But If one insists upon being up to the minute in coiffure modes there is a style of hairdressing which includes the fringe that is not at all bad for some faces. For this coiffure the hair

<. ABOUT ORIENTAL RUGS

ONE of the usual complaints, es-
 pecially of the young housekeeper, after purchasing a handsome rug is that the rug does not have the color and gloss that it showed in the shops before it was bought. And the rug sellers to whom such complaints are made seldom hear of them again after directing that the rug be turned with its nap toward the windows or other light This is the way, if possible. that the rugs are shown. One housekeeper was heard to say that there was some thing uncanny about her new oriental rug Sometimes it was lustrous and rich looking, while at other times it

READY TO ADJUST COIL
 (ABOVE.)
 THE FINISHED COIFFURE.

Care should be taken not to draw the locks too tightly from the nape of the neck and also to show as little as possible of the ears.
 The cuts in the illustration show the modus Operandi and finished effect of this classic type of hairdressing, which is very new and not extreme enough to refuse to be seen in company with a retrousse nose or a broad, good natured mouth.
 And in connection with hairdressing it would be well to mention the new theory about washing the hair. The time limit has been extended from the usual three or four weeks to as many months, the latest idea being that too much laundering of the locks is injuri- ous and creates the oiliness that it has always been supposed to overcome.
 The approved method now is to treat

HOW THEY DO IT.

CANNOT see" said girl recently,
 why so many women buy che misses, no matter how French embroid- cred they may be. l just wouldn't wear the things"
 This girl should have known a secret before making this assertion about the chemise. The wise woman buys the lovely embroidered ones and fits them snugly to the figure, and. behold, very handsome sort of underslip!
 The French must be more fond than we are of the chemise, for they put their most elaborate and dainty hand work upon these garments. American embroidered underwear is made exten- stvely in chemise form. These gar ments fit well over the shoulders, and many women take advantage of the possibility of making them into under slips on this account

 A walk in the morning hours may be supplemented by a game of croQuet in the late afternoon or. better still by some work on the golf links
 The rapid motion of cycling. the new scenes through which the rider passes and the necessity of attending to the machine leave the cycle rider little time to think of troubles. Cycling takes a woman completely "out of her self and is extremely beneficial for nervous depression. For gout and rheumatism it is also to be recom- mended, but this exercise must be com- menced very slowly and not indulged in until one reaches point of com- plete fatigue.
