EXERCISE ADDS TO CHARM
Thing for Women to Keep in Mind Is
the Necessity for Proper
Selection.

1t is curious to find that, with all the
modern athleticism of girls and their
fervid devotion to outdoor sports, they
still cannot compete Except at ten
nis) with the more stolid and muscu-
var male.
At dancing, to be sure, which is
nowadays a high form of athlesicism,
he premiere danseuse not only COM
petes with but outvies the particular
youth with whom she gyrates and
bounds, but dancing, after all, is
more an affair of long practice than
of actual muscular strength The most
exquisite dancer of the present time
declares that athletics need not make
women ungraceful, as so many people
fear they do. She protests that the
more she dances the more graceful
she can make herself, which is easy
to believe.
All her movements, however, are
on strictly esthetic lines, which
tend TO make the body supple and
beautiful
The danger to feminine attractions
lies in games like hockey and golf, in
which the most odd postures must be
assumed In order to succeed at all.
On a horse a woman can look per-
sectly graceful and yet perform
much the same deeds of prowess as a
man.
The prudent girl should choose
carefully the kind of exercise which
will not rob her of her feminine
charm. though it is probable that the
woman of the future will be built on
robust lines, and that the young man
of her period will not fail to find her
adorable.

PROPER CARE OF SHlRTWAIsT
Attention to Details While Garment Is
Being lroned Is of First
Importance.

Iron the wristbands, neckband and
any other stiff starched plaits or
bands, first on the right side, then on
the wrong side. This will give them
the desired smoothness that ironing
first on the wrong side would in some
cases destroy.
Lay the shirtwaist on the ironing
board with the neckband directly in
front of the ironer and parallel with
the front edge of the table, stretch
until smooth, and iron on the right
side until partly dry, then on the
wrong side, and finish on the right
side. Proceed in the same manner
with wristbands. Iron prints on the
wrong side, IL possible, because it
gives them more nearly the appear
ance of new and prevents an unde-
sirable gloss.
When the neckband and cuffs are
finished. lay the wrist on the board
with the neck at the left hand, and
iron the fronts, then the back. 1t is
best to iron both fronts first, because
they are oft, n trimmed, and will look
better and iron easier If not allowed
to become dry. The back, too dry,
being palmer, can be dampened with
a cloth wrung from warm water.
Iron well into the gathers and until
dry. Do not iron across the seams,
but close to them on either side, then
press the seams by setting the iron
directly on them. To iron the sleeve,
fold at the seam and begin ironing at
the seam side, being careful not to
iron across the opposite fold, and thus
form a crease.
After ironing one side, loosen the
two sides by slipping the hand be-
tween them, then turn the sleeve over
and iron the other side. Now put the
hand in the sleeve at the bottom and
turn it so that the seam lies on the
table and the unironed strip at the
back or outside of the sleeve lies
above it.
With small iron smooth out this
portion, and, still using a small iron,
slip it inside of the sleeve at the
arms eye, and iron the top of the
sleeve in the gathers. If possible,
iron the gathered portion at the cuff
in the same way and iron the sleeves
on the sleeve board.

Gliding Laces,
white lace

One clever woman who appreciates
artistic touches on her gowns and
hats discovered while gliding little
fancy things for Christmas that laces
are made very beautiful by applying
to them coat of gilt paint.
She experimental at first with old
bits of lace, and found the result 30
satisfactory that some yards of coarse
imitation Irish lace were gilded and
used as trimming on an evening
gown.
To do gliding. lay the lace perfectly
fiat over a clean piece of blotting pa
per and apply the guilt with brush.
Let one side dry, turn and repeat
the process on the other side.
II necessary, apply two coats OF
paint.
Silver and copper can be applied in
the same way. Lace treated thus is
lovely for all sorts of fancy work, be-
sides trimming for gowns and hats.

Not all the caps have full crowns,
although all $50 far are soft A
straight length of goods is gathered at
each end, edged with lace and ADJUST
ed fiat to the hair The lace Is often
wired with very fine silk-covered
wire, which holds 1t out about the
face. Such a cap is shown in the pic
ture given here. Such simple head
wear is easily made at home and
never was anything more worth while.
The dainty caps for morning wear,
with gay ribbons and little flowers, are
alluring and pretty enough to create
cheerfulness, even if one wakes with
morning after" sensation. They
cover the hair completely, so that it
need not be dressed before breakfast.
With a pretty morning jacket and
cap, the day is well begun.
Nearly all caps for evening are
made of gold or silver net and lace
with or without silk lining. Pearls
and mock jewels, little handmade
roses and specially designed feathers
are used, with ribbon in their decora-
ton. They are exquisite examples of
headwear, wonderfully becoming to
their wearers and in no ones way.
Oriental turbans of white tulle, ap-
parently wound about the head, are
decorated at the front with a small
outstanding cochade and jeweled
cabochon. All in pure white and fin
ished with sparkling rhinestones they
are the most impressive of the in
Vulnerable soft caps which are made
for evening wear.
Sweeping caps are made Of null or
of printed handkerchiefs and are gath
cred about the head with a drawing
string, SO that they are easily fiatten-
ed out for laundering. Night caps are
simple, ut of sheer null and lingerie
laces. The hair is improved by keep
ing it covered with such light head
coverings. But it Is not the practical
side of these soft caps which makes
the strongest appeal to women. 1t is
their prettiness and becomingness.
They are utterly feminine

Shelf Papers.

The next time you are cleaning the
pantry shelves fold at least three
newspapers the longest way of the
full sheet, says the indianapolis Star.
Place them on the shelf with the fold
in front and fit snugly. The next time
you want clean paper slip the edge
CO knife along the fold of the outer
sheet and remove the soiled top. The
remainder of the sheets will be left
intact for future use, and much time
aud labor will be saved to the house.

Hat Ornaments.

One of the practical and universally
becoming trimmings being put on to
straw hats for the south are the wing,
plume or aigrettelike ornaments made
of shadow lace. tulle or other gauze.
While thess hat trimmings are usually
simple in number, single ornament
such as ths ones mentioned being as
much as is needed, the sizs of the
ornaments is often very large. These
made feather arrangements admit OF
a great variety OF shapes and effects.

III veloping liking for soft caps,
most of them for indoor wear
The day now begins with the break
fast cap of sheer silk, over-draped
with net or lace and trimmed with rib
bons and little flowers, and ends with
the theater cap of cloth-of-gold or sill
yer, jeweled and feathered. There are
all sorts of gradations in material and
design.
For the street, made caps of beaver
them fur-trimmed, are fascinating
from the standpoint of becomingness
and most comfortable for winter wear.
At present, at least four caps are re-
quired for wear during each "a hours.
The fresh, dainty breakfast cap, the
cap for out-of-doors, the sparkling
evening cap and the simple and use
full sleeping cap. Besides these, there
are sweeping caps, plain and easily
laundered, which are necessities and
not luxuries, and occasion comes for
IuelT use.
Most breakfast or morning caps are
made with a coft crown of liberty silk
over which is draped either net or
lace, and a rufIle of lace which makes
the frill about the face and neck. All
the support such a cap needs is cir
Gle of fine shirring or ribbon wire.
The crown is plaque of silk, overlaid
with lace, cut in circle Is inches in
diameter. This is gathered about the
edge and sewed to the wire, or laid in
narrow hem, through which the wire
is thrust. The frill of lace is sewed
to the wire and the cap finished with
collar and bows of ribbon. Some
times the frill is turned back across
the front, hanging over the ears and
neck. Again, the frill at the front is
omitted, and the cap finished with a
fiat band of ribbon extending across
the forehead to the ears. Narrow rib
bons from No. III to No. are used
in rosettes and finished with long
hanging loops.

The bed is receiving a good deal of
dressing these days. One of the most
splendidly apparelled ones has cover

old rose taffeta with fringed ends is
laid across the bed near the foot.
