WHY DEEP BREATHING Is GOOD FOR YOU

pEOPLE who practice deep breath
ing and learn to breathe properly
are not nearly so liable to throat and
chest troubles as those who have never
studied the art of deep breathing.
The reason is this: Each breath
drawn in brings a supply of oxygen to
replenish and purify the impure blood
IN the lungs, and each breath exhaled
Is laden with the poison it has taken
from the blood in exchange for the
oxygen.
So that a person who breathes short,
half hearted breaths never takes IN
enough oxygen to reach down to the
bottom of the lungs and purify them
or breathes out sufficiently to empty
them to the bottom, so that a certain
amount of poison is left behind at
every breath.
replenishes the lungs and keeps them
clean and healthy.
Deep breathing. too, is good as a
beauty culture. The exercise of TAX
ing deep breaths with a weight bal
anced on the head strengthens the
muscles of the head and neck and gives
one a really good carriage and an ad-
mirable poise of the head.
This exercise may be varied by
walking up and down for ten minutes
or so with the arms folded behind the
back and the weight still balanced up
on the head.
Not only that, but II you learn to
control the breathing you can success
fully practice singing loud. long sus-
tanned notes, which are especially good
for weak threats and chests and. from
| the beauty point of view. improve the
appearance of the neck and bust i'm
mensely.
| There is another benefit too. One
sort of control helps another If you
keep control of your breath you can

then keep control of yourself as well.
Next time you feel that you are at
the end OF your tether and that your
self control Is rapidly slipping away
from you try the deep breathing. 1t
will help you wonderfully to get grip
on yourself again.
Stand In front of a widely opened
window, put your hands well back on
your hips, fingers pointing forward. and
take two or three deep breaths. gently
exhaling in the same way.
It is wonderful how this steadies
ones nerve. Try 1t some day when
you are feeling inclined to weep hys-
terically and you will realize how eff
fective II is.
And IT is very important that one
should not overdo things in any case.
This is where amateurs. exercising
entirely on their own responsibility
generally go wrong They think that
by exercising a lot they will improve
in health sooner. Never was there a
greater mistake.
Begin gently.
Don't try to do too much. One ex-
ercise repeated six times is enough al
the start
Don't be discouraged IL you cannot
draw very deep breaths at first. You
will improve gradually.
Never attempt TO do breathing exer-
cises Immediately after meals. Wear
loose clothes for preference a loose
dressing gown only. when doing
breathing exercises.
Do them regularly every morning.
Do them in the open air If you can
If not. do them in a room with the win
dows wide open. When you are in the
open air take good. deep breaths every
now and then.
These exercises are not suitable fol
any one suffering from any organic
disease.

A BOWL SHOWER.

a VERY practical shower for a bride
who is to keep house is where the
guests are asked to bring bowls. Now
just see what a variety from which to
choose! There are nests of bowls,
which come from the least unto the
greatest: there are wooden chopping
bowls, brass and copper bowls. finger
bowls of glass and of metal. mayon-
naise bowls and even a punch bowl.
To make fun part of the refreshments
could be served in bowls and the tea in
small. handleless cups. which are love-
ly to use for individual gelatin and
5ellies. In fact. this kind of downpour
would be most welcome.

- Tricks With TULIPS ~

TULIPS may be very provoking at
times. They will insist on opening
out in the most blatant way long be-
fore the visitors they are to charm or
the meal they are to grace is due.
Worse than this, their colors some
times deteriorate in the most lamenta-
Bile way. But all this may be prevent
ed by the woman who deals firmly with
her flowers. Tulips are greedy and
drink too much when put in water. so
they should be taken from their vases
at night and laid in a cool dark place
quite out of water altogether. BY this
means they will be kept from opening
overwide before their time or losing

FLORAL BEAD CHAIN.

A REAL novelty is floral bead chains
for neckwear. The beads are the
coiors Of the flowers from which they
are made. For instance, a rose chain
made from pink roses will be the exact
color of the said flower. Each bead Is
made of crushed rose paste In compo-
sition with other material and wrought
in q special design. The notable thing
about these beads ia that when they
become warm from contact with the
throat they exhale the natural odor OF
the flower. They are made from roses,
violets and any other flowers with
strong perfume. The beads in every
instance will be of the color of the
