old aunt had not taken her in hand.
This dear old lady was natural en-
courager and instead of telling the
lank. girl how awkward she was, and
how ridiculous she looked when she
stopped in trying to hide her height she
praised her. telling her what a splendid
thing It was to be tall and strong, and
now proud the girl should be of her
size. II took long time before the
girl learned to stand up straight, in
stead of crouching in a vain effort to
look small, and much patience and per
severance was expended in training her
to use ner arms and hands naturally
and gracefully.
This girl was also much too thin. and
she seemed to be all angles and elbows
She had never had a good appetite and
she had generally INDUCED in the wrong
KIND Of food for one of her build. Now
she was encouraged to take a glass of
milk between meals in the morning, in
the afternoon and before going to bed.
she ate plenty of cereals and all the
starchy sweet vegetables, such as po-
tatoes. peas, corn and beans, as well as
salads, and rich fruits like bananas
Cream soups. macaroni and spaghetti.
buildings and other substantial foods
formed part of her daily bill Of fare,
and this regimen, with the encouraging
lie ttery of the old aunt, soon began to
turn the angles into curves. Besides

A Foolish Thing to Do
By Beatrice Fairfax

If he cared for her he wouldn't make
such a silly request. II she cared fo-
herself. she wouldn't grant 1t. If she
had a little of the will in his presence
that she has in her family relations n
would save her many a humiliation
This lending of jewelry is a bad
practice among girls. 1t is Infinitely
worse when among girls and young
men, The girl gains nothing by grant
ing such request. and she stands tn
lose more than her jewelry, which 81
itself may be trif1ing.
She stands to lose her self-respeo+
She is letting the young man know tba.
his influence over her is greater than
her good sense.
She is giving every hostage to love
he is giving none
When the right kind OF a man come
wooing all he asks the girl to give is
her heart.
He adopts no highwayman methods
II his love demands a little keepsake
he asks for flower she has worn
He never says, Give me your Jew
elry, and If ever lose you as my girl
I'll give it back to you"
Such an unmanly declaration should
make any girl know that the best thing
that can happen to her is to be lost a
his girl. Being the sweetheart of
man so lacking in all the little tende
gallantries of love does not spell happi-
ness
So beg of all my girls when man
does as this little girls young man hal
done, that they tell big brother. or
father. 1t is not enough to wait It'll
this highwayman in the court of love
acts of his own pleasure.
That may be never.

gers. For many years. Miss Kaelred
practiced this exercise which is one
of the very best for limberng the wrist
and arm
Hold the arm out from the shoulder,
the hand stretched out. placing the gn-
gers on an imaginary bar, raise the
wrist without moving the fingers; now
lower the wrist, still keeping the fin
gers on the same spot. At first it is
we'll to place the fingers on a firm
base, a shelf or even the back of a
high chair will do In raising the wrist
raise it as if from the shoulder, and
lower it the same way Don't raise the
wrist from the elbow. Raise the wrist
with a long undulating movement. al
most a snake like movement"
Some of Miss Kaelred's rules are
worth remembering by the tall girl
Never try to look shorter than you
are. Be proud of your height
Don't forget that a large woman
must be stately and slow of motion.
Cultivate repose."

Y 7 often happens that girl who Is
said TO have a will of her own, SO
far as her family is concerned, has
none so far as concerns her young man.
Her parents find her as unmovable as
rock wall. The young man, though
he be of too slight acquaintance to be
called friend, and makes no preten-
sions of being lover, finds her as easy
to mould as so much wax.
This is both unfortunate and danger
Gus. Her parents exert their influence
for her good. The young man doesn't
always. Their influence is benignant
Yet. girls who know this wDl follow
blindly where man beckons and re-
fuse to go where their parents prayer
fully guide.
l greatly fear the writer of the fol-
| lowing letter is a girl whose young
man finds she is easily influenced:
81 am girl of eighteen" she writes,
"and made the acquaintance a month
ago of a young man the same age He
has taken me to several places of
amusement, and on one of these occa-
sions he took my ring. When he took
me home that evening / demanded my
ring. and he refused TO give it to me,
He told me if he ever lost me as his
girl certainly would not lose my ring.
l have asked him many times, and he
refuses to give it back"
| Cupid, attired as a policeman, is not
familiar or lovable picture. but there
are cases where Cupid should drop his
bow and arrow and take on a police
mans club This is one of them.
Every few weeks | get a wall of woe
from some girl who has given her
young man her ring. or her watch, or
some other trinket dear to her, which
he refuses to return
Her father. or her brother, could
compel him to return what he has
taken, but her pride forbids the admis-
sion that she was foolish enough to let
him have it.
Such girl has such a will OF her
own in her own home that none of the
family dares so much as borrow a little
bit of her flnery. or use any trihe that
is her personal possession.
But young man comes along. Per
haps, as in this instance, she has known
him only a month. When he asks for
the ring on her finger, she let's him
carry it off.

''Wear" is nothing but rubbing"

''Wear" is nothing but rubbing"
Every time you hard rub your clothes
against anything, little PARTICLES are
rubbed away.
Boiling softens the fibre of cotton,
linen, silk and wool, and when rubbed
hard on the washboard they wear away
faster than at any other time.
Try to think how many days of wear
are represented by one trip to the old
time waShtub.
FelS-Naptha requires neither boiling
water nor hard rubbing,
And there is no washboard wear on
the clothes washed the Fels-Naptha way.
Fels-Naptha is made to do away with
boiling and hard rubbing; therefore if
you use it as an ordinary soap, you cause
yourself unnecessary work.
Use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water and it will do all we claim.
1t will cut the washday in half, sum-
mer or winter, and do silently and effec-
lively all the real hard work.
If you follow the simple directions
on the red and green wrapper, you will
never return to ordinary soaps and the
0ld-fashioned way of washing.

other people. in art. and especially in
those graceful persons whom we see
on the stage, and who personify all that
is beautiful and gracious.
The awkward, thin girl can not do
better than to take as a model some
woman whose physique is the ideal Of
her own slim figure. The actress has
studied the art of motion and knows
how to make the best of herself. The
length Of limb which worries the awk-
ward girl is an added beauty when it
is mastered and dominated by grace.
One of these ideals is personified in
the statuesque person of Miss Catherine
Kaelred whose beautiful arms and
hands are the despair of her imitators.
The grace with which she moves them
lis a study In itself. She is a very tall
and regal woman and her arms are long
and her hands have long, slender fin

NNCE upon time there was a
girl who thought she was too
tall. and it worried her a great
deal.
When she was about thirteen she
began to sprout Just like Alice in Won
derland, after she had eaten of the
growing side Of the mushroom, and
she grew, and grew. and grew until
she thought there was nobody in the
whole world who was so tall as she was
or who possessed such very long legs
and arms and such long hands and feet
She asked her best friends if there
wasn't something that would keep her
from growing any taller and she was
quite sure she was going to be a
giant or monstrosity of some kind.
Her family made such fun of her
height that she became horribly self
conscious. and when l first knew her
she was Just about as awkward as any
girl could be, for nothing will make
you as gawky as the ridicule of your
