KEEP YOUR FIGURE TRIM
 AND NEAT

THE first essential in keeping good
 figure is to avoid habits of sitting. standing and walking incorrectly: the second Is to breathe properly, and the third is to keep the mind alert and the muscles trained for action.
 When you allow the chest to cave in and the shoulders to droop your figure begins to lose its flowing curves and its pulsing life that symbolizes youth. An upright, natural carriage of the body cannot but make you feel the inspiration of life, and keen. alert mind cannot but inspire you to boise the body properly.
 But do not exaggerate this position. 4 tense, strained expression of the body is as unlovely as strained ex- precision of the face. Avoid slumping. 1t is the chief cause of protruding ab- domen and large hips. When fatigued to the point where you are inclined to slump. lie down and take a real rest. When you walk, walk from the hips, muscles elastic.
 Don't let a day pass without going through some sort of stretching and bending exercise that will make you feel as if you were walking on air. Learn to walk and move about lightly ito be dexterous. Clumsiness is un- pardonable. Learn to assume natural ly graceful poses. Here is an exercise that will tend to keep the figure in condition, and it is rather an interest ing one:
 First.-Stand. chest up and out, hands on hips, and keep this position through all movements
 Second.--Raise one foot. pointing the toe in the air (). touch floor with the toe CD. step forward on that foot (3). Repeat 1-2-3 with the other foot and so, proceed in straight line across the room. Keep the heels always in line one with the other--this is important and keep the body perfectly poised, not swaying from side to side.
 Second Part of Exercise.
 First.-Stand in position.
 Second.--Bring right foot up under the body. doubling the knee and stretching foot downward till 1t is per- p.ndicular.
 Third.--Kick out and poise the foot k.,>e high. toe pointed.
 e'oIrth.-Touch the floor with the f-nt m front of the other and boise the body forward
 Proceed with this movement. first with one foot and then with the other ..ils you have crossed the room Re- rc .,nber. one foot is always Tn direct line wits thu othAr to attain the proper sffect

 The special trains to bring work people here and return them at night cost $10o a day and in addition the company provided the dinners for the employees. All the temporary employees who had employment while the strike was on will be dropped.

HANDY RECEPTACLE FOR ODDS AND ENDS

 handy receptacle for odds and ends a number of oft wanted in hurry things would not be thrown into a waste paper basket and finally upon an ash heap.
 A sort of catchall which is 1ncon- spicuous as well as ornamental and which may be hung up is made by deeply facing circle of material of about yards diameter with some of the same material. These two edges are next separately bound in order to keep them firm, and the two layers are then partitioned into six pockets la beled distinctly string. tissue paper,

The Rise In the World of the Plebeian Prune 3

. nice prune marmalade Is good for all the purposes for which we use marma- lades and jams. The daintiest prune whip Is made of the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. sweelened lightly. we'll seasoned with prune marmalade and baked in a slow oven for twenty min- utes. If baked with too hot a fire it will be tough, like anything else con- taining so much white of egg.
 Almost as dainty and a heartier dish is fried prunes, one of the most relishable dishes possible to prepare with this fruit.
 Fried Prunes.
 Wash, swell and cook the prunes until perfectly soft. Remove the pits roll in sugar and fry in two table spoonfuls of butter. Eat hot or cold with thin slices of bread and butter or with hot biscuits.
 These fried prunes can be rolled up one by one in oiled paper and make a grateful and wholesome addition to a cold luncheon or are good for a picnic relish. Of course the finer the prune the more exquisite these will be.
 Prune Jelly.
 Stew half pound of prunes in a cupful of water Remove the pits and chop or put them through a strainer. Dissolve half an ounce of gelatin in the liquid in which they have been cooked and add sugar to taste. Pour into wet mold to set Serve cold with whipped cream. A little lemon juice may be added to the prune preparation. The liquid in which prunes are cook ed need never be wasted. whether sweetened or not. It can be thickened. favored and sweetened if necessary for a pudding sauce. These sauces are especially in keeping if the fruit pud- ding has been made with the prunes.

MoUcHOIR HENS ARE BROADER

HANDKERCHIEFS with broad hems
 are now the fashion of the mo- ment. It has been some time since broad hems were in. but they are pretty fashion. and especially do we embroiderers welcome them.
 A hemstitched broad hem somehow shows the hemstitching to better at- vantage than the narrow hems. The new hem is about an inch in width. It can be made either from sheer handkerchief linen or that of a smooth, fine heaviness.
 AS to the weight of handkerchief much depends upon the person to whom 1t is given. Especially have old ladies preference in this simple arr ticle. One old lady will shudder at the thought of using . heavy handkerchief and another will shoo away . sheer

A FEW FASHION FoIBLEs.

ELAT knife plating is almost never
 done by hand now. At specially shops all depths of knife plating to a width of about thirty inches can be pressed into the goods by machinery.
 This mechanically laid plating is used in dresses, as are the accordion plaitings. Though 1t is generally piaited so that the folded edges all turn in one direction, it can be done the other way. so that the plaits turn backward from the center front on each side.
 Ordinary hemming is seldom seen now on modish dress models. Picot edges are the accepted fashionable finish for any edge that would once have required a hem. A dress may be sent to the speciality shop in any stage to have this little looped thread put on.

NO MORE POLITICS,
 DECLARES UlLMAN
Colonel msiS'S That Re Has Q1lt
 th5 Cana Forever.

New Haven, April 4.-Col. Isaac M. Ullman, who was charged in the let ter of George A. Romans with being the man who did the most talking at the luncheon in New York, where it was said the Croft-Chase purifica- tion league was launched, was at the bond issue hearing last night.
 He was asked after the meeting if there was anything he cared to say about the letter of Romans published in yesterdays papers, and he replied:
 Colonel UIman's Statement.
 ''The statement that I am out of politics is true; I am out of politics. l have no idea of coming into poli- tics again. It is true that I took luncheon with three or four gentle men in New York at their invitation and the luncheon was served in the open dining room of the Hotel Bel mont. The lunch and the talk which followed and preceded it took less than an hour.
 "At that time I impressed on the entirely out of politics and not inter ested in any way, shape or manner in it except as any citizen should be interested in what is for the best in- terests of his state.
 There have been two other meet ings held since that luncheon. I have ,not been in the city on either date and neither have I been in communi- cation with the meeting or with those who were at it'
 That was all that the colonel would say, but he asserted several times that his statement that he had re- tired from politics was absolutely true and left the impression that he had no intent of getting back into the game now or at any other time

THE increased cost of prunes has
 raised that fruit in the estimation of its consumers. That significantly dietetic piece of slang which amounted simply to saying the word in certain way-liko this, o prunes!-will soon no longer be heard, and possibly this fruit will disappear from the tables of the reform Achools for boys, to their great loss.
 There arc other reasons besides it's aristocratic price level why we should have an increased respect for the prune always held in esteem by doc tors who understood dietetics.
 Prunes and Raisins.

Follow the first washing by one with cold water. A little of this poured off into . glass will show whether further washing is needed.
 Slowed Prunes.
