by artist that has just opened a new
Studio. the same as the studio that I
was telling you about few weeks
ago We had a grand time"
I think you are wrong in going to
studio parties" said the Head Barber
Il have told you that before. and YOU
know when l tell you anything / mean
it"
II can take care Of myself without
any bone-headed barber telling me
where to get off, said the Manicure
Lady frigidly. This artist was a per-
feet gent. The only thing [ didn't like
about the party was one of his ladv
guests. l think she must be one of

them adventuresses. or some name like

guess she thought that poets makes a

don't, George; but as long as she
thought so l suppose that amt neither
here or there, but to get on with my
story.
The mintue Wilfred noticed that
this blond beauty was shining up to
him he swelled up like one of them
poisoned puppies that you read about
in the story books. I guess in the
next hour after he made the flash he
must have recited about seventy of his
worst young poems Don't you see,
George? He was trying to make a hit
with her and con her into giving him
little dough, but he was waiting for
good chance to approach her. and all
the time she was playing the same sys
tenn. l had more than one good laugh
before the two of them found out that
there wasn't a quarter between them.
and probably wouldn't be for some time
to come. Wilfred was telling me on
the way home that in the old days
poets used to have patrons and patron
esses. He said that any time a poet
was on his uppers he would go and
dig up some rich old guy. or guyess and
tell him the facts in the case are
these I think it was a pretty good
system at that, George BARRIERS and

The Way to Sleep.

Young people often lose the pretty
contour of the face because they sleep
with their mouths open, while the wom-
an who is inclined to be fat if she
will form the habit of sleeping with
her head up, instead of bent very far
down, or with such chin strap to hold
the mouth shut and the chin up viii
not acquire the dreaded double or triple
chin.
Another bad habit is for the fat
woman to consider herself fat; the
minute she says Il am too fat to run
upstairs, too fat to walk much" that
is just the time to begin work to de-
crease ones flesh; to walk and run up
and down stairs as much as possible,
for Incidence invariably accompanies
the fat woman, and that is the most
difficult thing to overcome.
Body massage, if one can obtain it.
would help reduce the weight, and face
massage will do much toward dispers-
ing the fatty tissue that disfgures the
youthful face.
But, alas! the fat woman does not
care about strenuous exercise. and
much prefers applying indicated soaps
or trying to melt down fat at the
Turkish bath, or by spasmodic hard
work encased in rubber garments I'M
der a sweater
OF course, the more you exercise the
more you will perspire and the sooner
you will melt down your fat, lie
trouble is that few women are willing
to keep it UP long enough to feel the
good results.

the waist and abdomen is the follow

that tend to make one grow fat First
Of all, there is a dumpy way of sit
ting as when one fails to pieces oyer
the top of her stays and slumps in at
the waist just as much as her steel
armor will allow Now, if you want
to keep your figure. you cannot afford
to slumptat all. but should cultivate
a good straight backbone and hold your
shoulders back naturally. not stiffly,
but so that you are never sitting in a
round -shouldered position.
! have seen so many girls of eighteen
or nineteen whose shoulders were
round, AND whose backs already looked
Old just because they do not sit up
straight. When sitting at a desk or
sewing table when you are reading or
writing place your chair sufficiently
far from the table to allow you to sit
Well back i'm the chair, and then bend
forward from the hips. This position
is really more restful than the hollow
chest and round shouldered one, and
it is just a matter of habit to get ac-
customcd to it,
There are all kinds Of braces sold
now which hold the shoulders back
and keep one from getting a broad and
round-shouldered back. They are good
for the fat woman, because they remind
her to hold herself correctly, which
will make her look taller and less
dumpy The same kind of a brace is
made by the English army officers Of
three handkercbiefs, Knot the ends of
two of the handkerchefs together. slip
these over the arms and around the
shoulders Now pass the third hand

Valuable Exercises.

Lie fiat on the back. preferably on
the hard floor; extend the legs stiffly,
then raise first one leg. then the
other, stiffening all the muscles and
getting some action in the muscles Of
the waist which with the fat woman
are usually quite weak and flaccid,
After repeating this exercise several
times. bring both legs together to a
position as nearly as possible at right
angles with the body
The woman who win roll on a hard
floor a hundred times night and morn
ing will soon find her flesh melting
away, but it isn't a comfortable way
of doing it.
Skipping the rope, usually considered
quite a childish game. will also reduce
flesh, but if there is anything the mat
ter with the heart it is not advisable
to try it.
Riding. tennis playing, bicycling and
especially swimming all will reduce
weight
The woman who wants to get thin
must never take maps in the daytime.
and she should not sleep more than
seven hours at night. This applies of
course only to the fat woman Of robust
constitution
DIR. Arnold LoTand advises abstain
ing from meat entirely in order to re-
Guce flesh, or to eat very little, if any
of it. while for the rest of the diet,
almost every woman knows those
starchy. sugary and fat-forming foods
which she shouldn't eat. and which she
generally adores
The ideal weight for women Of vau-
Gus heights is about as follows

knot this together, drawing the Shout
ders back by pulling the handkerchiefs
which bind them
Another bad habit which the stout
woman easily falls into is that of go
ing around with her head bent down so
that she soon has two or even three
chins Chin straps for reducing the
chin are sold everywhere nowadays, or
one can make them of a piece of linen
cut about three inches wide with tapes
at the end. The linen should pass un-
der the chin and tie over the head, and
press the flabby part of the chin in, as
well as holding the mouth shut while

THE EXPOSITION PLEASES
Necessary to Repeat Demonstrations
Crowds Are So Large.

Some demonstrations at "The World
In Cincinnati attract such crowds
that they have to be repeated
more times than those scheduled to
satisfy the visitors. At some hours
five or six demonstrations are going
on at the same time in different
countries. There are "A Tour Through
Africa" "A Palestine Wedding" "An
Afternoon Call in Japan" "At the
Well in Burma" and demonstrations
of worship of the different deities in
the Hall of Religions and other places.
All are happening at the same time
under one roof, while in the Hall of
the Homeland" things are moving at
at the same rate
One of the most picturesque dem.
onstrations this week is that of the
immigrants clad in the costumes of
different countries as they land at
Ellis Island, led by G. w. Bunton, who
march through the halls before going
through the medical examination and
other requirements OF those who come
TO our shores.
