 If you happen to own a figure that is stiff and clumsy. then fall into the habit of practicing some simple bal means Of giving you pretty carriage and supple. muscles.
 A balancing movement which you would do we'll to practice is as fol- lows: Stand in the center of your bedroom, facing an open window and take a deep. full breath Holding same, cross the right foot over the left and rest the top Of the toes on the floor. The right arm is now rais- ed over the head while the left hand rests lightly on the bosom.

DISRESpECTFUL TO
 HIS SWEETHEART

Dear Miss Idbbey. s.
 I am a young man of twenty and have been keeping company with a girl of seventeen. calling on her reg. ularly for half a. year or so- Last week [ took her to a local theatre. I am not what one would call a steady fellow. like the company of other girls for a change now and then. At the theatre a beautiful young actress was dancing During the perform ance smiled at her several times, i'm terestedly. alaa finally fascinated her so much, that after she had left the stage, ehe sent a messenger to me house. My sweetheart, who had close have glanced at the card, arose in great anger and left me. heartily love her, tand would do anything to win her back. Please tell me how, and relieve me from much sorrow.
 $. ".
 Not one girl with proper pride out of a hundred would make up with a lover who showed her such disrespect as you subjected this girl to Such fragrant disregard of her feelings can not be condemned too severely am sorry for you All you can do is to be persistent in explaining your re- gret. but 1t is doubtful if she will ever permit you to give her another cause for humiliation and heArtache A young man who is in company with nice girl should know better than tc hirt. hope this will be a warning tc others who read.

 Oh! cruel. tantalizing maids who take pleasure in making a. fond, pa tierat lover jealouei Have you ever realized that there is an end to even the fondest lovers endurance? He may stand for sweetheart,s fckle- ness a little while but to sec a rival openly making love to the girl who wears his engagement ring IS really too exasperating.
 He is a long time in making up his mind that she has neither the proper love for him nor respect for his feel ines Therefore 1t would be best to call the affair of When a man makes up his mind to this effect.S no matter what wrench 1t gives his heart, he stands stolid1y by his de- cision. Mine times out of ten he would not think Of any other girl. If sympathetic women note that he no longer has a sweetheart, is wandering around alone and lonely, their tender hearts prompt them to offer him con soIation if possible. Matrons who have unmarried younger sisters invite him to dine with them Fathers who naII4aEeaDle vate his acquaintance. Young men with pretty single sisters grow chum- my with him.
 Among all these fair daxnseds, there is apt to be one whom he finds sym pathetic and congeniala loyal, good sensible girl. who accepts his invita- 1 tion to go around with him without the notion that she should be made love to. She knows of his broken en- | gagement, but does not harp upon it On the contrary, she does her best to l make him forget the eorrowful cpl sode in his life. He finds her just ths opposite from the former girl. She does not encourage other fellows fol the sole object of making him jealous her. There is satisfaction for him tc Isee that she prefers his society t that of any other man. He realizei
 that no one can cut him out.
