Woman's Health. said that the exces-
siye physical development which wom-
en- of today are seeking is a bad thing
for the race, according to cable
gram to the New York Sun. He said
it produced women of hardened fea-
lures, more wrinkles and more inde-
pendence The woman of today, he
went on, has less reverence for author
ity than her mother and has fewer
home interests.
Sport" he added, "is bad for the
marriage market. The sporting girl
becomes too manlike. She shows her
character too much to man and as
sumes bueolic look"
Doctor Shaw assumed that the pre-
yailing mode of short and tight skirts
showing the figure is due to desire
on the part of women to be what men
are and to do what men do. He con-
siders that a mistake, as it does away
with the mystery in woman, and won
ders how women allow it, as it Is
against their own interests. He said
there is danger of new kind of wom-
an arising with whom men will have
nc sympathy. Taking the suffragette
as an example, he said:
"For years men have endowed wom-
en- with all the virtues and never

OLD QUESTION TO THE FRONT
Just How Much Woman Should Spend
or Dress Seems as Much of
Puzzle as Ever.

A Aarisian woman ran UP a bill in
one year amounting 10 $2,75O for
dres.ses and furs. Her husband was
suec. He stated that his fiat cost him
$500 a year, therefore credit to his
wife for over $4,000 was unreason-
able. The court decided that a mar
ried woman cannot spend in dress
more than the amount of the rent
paid for the joint home of husband
and wife without laying herself open
to charge of extravaganza, and the
court reduced the bill to $500. (There
is saying that the rent should not
exceed one-fourth of the mooney

The study of stairways and the
proper placing of them in dwelling
houses is responsible for more suicides
among architects than any other fea-
ture of the business.
Ever since two story houses were
first built stairs have occupied promi-
nent positions, usually in front in full
view of the street door where floor
space is more valuable than In any
stair not only takes up valuable space
on both floors but it often spoils the
living room or parlor down stairs and
curtails two of the best bedrooms up,
stairs.
Now. the stairway in this plan
solves the problem in a new way. It
not only fills new felt want, but it
fills the neighbors with envy and the
contractor with malice, because the
workmanship must be so exact to
please the owner that he can never
get out of it with a profit.
However, this stairway seems to
overcome many difficulties. 1t occu.
pies the least valuable corner In the
house, which is right because nobody
stays in the stairway any longer than
he can help. You sit in dining room
long enough to enjoy good meal. you
