DRESS WARMLY.

THERE are some girls who fancy
they can harden their constitutions
without deterioration TO endure the Sc
verities Of our changing climate and in
the attempt lay aside or never adopt
all the protection nature demands. All
such foolish efforts are attended by an
expenditure of nervous energy which
could be advantageously applied to
many worthier ambitions. Nervous
energy is equivalent to life force. and to
endeavor to sustain it without the aid
Of proper clothing simply means grad
ual or; not infrequently. precipitate self
obstruction
When we consider how many OF the
poor yearly succumb to the exhaustion
OF vital force which has been proved
to be q result of the lack of proper
clothing it seems not only the sheerest
folly, but absolute rebellion against ma
tUre. to deprive oneself OF the most
powerful weapon in the struggle for
existence, with the expectation Of con-
trolling or outWittins natures laws

ORIGIN OF ROOM NAMES.

pARLOR is a word closely connected
with the word parliament-froIn
the French "parler," to speak, a deri-
walton sufficiently denoting the uses of
the parior. The needs Of the family
led to less formal parlors, where the
members of the household could meet
and feel at home, and naturally the
decorations in these lesser parlors were
less impressive than those in the state
reception rooms, but lightsoTner and
more homelike.
Then the feeling Of home was rising
with the wane Of feudalsm and the
greater sense Of security. and in all
the associations of home life the in
fuence of the feminine element be-
came more and more prominent. New
times, new wants the Iady's bower. d.

Blouses For
The New Year

THE new year blouses are here in the
most bewildering variety. and one
cannot fail to make a happy selection
among the many charming designs.
Lovely brocaded silks in all colors, with
white in the popular lead; rich satins
in plain and striped effects, soft char
meuse, flmy chiffon and wash silks in
smart striped effects are all to be
found in the shirt waist realm.
White brocade waists come in tailor
ed styles, with perhaps a fancifully cut
yoke to relieve the severity, and in
dressy models they are made elaborate
with net guimpes and lace or net
vests.
There is, too, ravishing little affair
OF fine white chiffon. Nothing could
be prettier than a blouse of this style.
The front is covered with pin tucks and
a double box plat simulated by two
frills of val lace edging a line of round
white satin covered buttons down the
center. A pin tucked yoke peeps over
the edge Of the shoulder and extends
across the back, outlined with a piping
of white satin. The short sleeves are
also tucked and set in with satin pip
ing and finished with a narrow band
of satin and some Of the white buttons
In the line of tailor maze models
there is a delightful affair Of palest
lavender charmeuse. The narrow pan
el front Of this blouse is formed with
two strips of the material, each strip
buttonholed and held together with
round cream colored bone buttons in
link style. Each side Of the front has
a deep plated frill LOT the charmeuse
extending almost to the shoulder and
halfway down the front. The fullness
Of the long sleeves is held into plain
round cuffs finished at the hands with
narrow plaitings of the cbarmeuse.
