A Graceful Figure.

Quite often the figure Of a pretty
girl is spoilt by STOPPING shoulders, a
contracted chest or a careless, SLOUGH
ing gait Yet by devoting a little spare
time every day to some physical exer-
cises these evils may be overcome.
Many and various are the forms OF
calisthenics. The daily use Of dumb
bells will strengthen all the muscles Of
the arms and chest and at the same
time promote a free circulation Of the
blood.
Then there Is the expander. This IS
formed OF a strip OF the very strong
est kind OF elastic, with loops or han
dies at each end to hold 1t can easily
be made at home. 1t should be held in
both hands and be slowly expanded
and passed over the head This tends
to develop the chest and strengthen
the back
Exercises Of this sort should be per
formed regularly every day, and they
must be done steadily, slowly and
firmly.
Dress for any form Of muscular ex-
ercise should be light, flexible and WOOL
len. No corsets should be worn, and
the bodice and underclothing must be
large enough to allow perfect freedom
Of the arms.

Avoid Marquis erimaeIno.

A great destroyer Of beauty lines
in the face Is the nervous twisting Of
the lips and grimaces. Many women
are guilty Of these when talking. They
are unbecoming habits and are the
means Of developing many ugly lines
and wrinkles that prematurely age one
Time. worry and habit are three
things that line the forehead with fur
rows and bring a sagging condition OF
the muscles, especially affecting the
muscles under the chin When these
muscles lose their elasticity the result
Is the unsightly double chin
The reason that burrows (wrinkles)
make their appearance on the counte-
nance Of an aged person Is due to the
fact that the fat underlying the skin
becomes absorbed Consequently the
cuticle loosens and becomes wrinkled-
To remedy this condition gently mas
sage these parts with good skin food;
then before retiring adjust a forehead
band which has been Amounted with
skin food This should be worn each
night
Sagging cheek muscles may be
strengthened and contracted with mas
sage and an astringent lotion and, as
has been said before, tightly bound up
overnight with a band-either muslin
or rubber.
In regard to premature wrinkles
caused by worry or habits, they should
not only be treated with massage, as
previously directed. but one should
learn to control the muscles to obtain
a calm and pleasant expression, which
Is great aid to beauty.

Having the Eyes Examined.

If a child screws up its eyes when
looking at a distant object or, when
reading a book, has to bend closely
over it a defect in vision should be
suspected. Sometimes the child com.
plains of headaches or eye ache, the
former usually referring to the fore
head. There may be at times a slight
squirt These are also suspicious
signs. Eye strain also gives rise to in
fammation Of the Hds-hence styes-
and II this condition is constantly re-
curing the sight should be properly
tested
UnskiIled advice In the matter Of the
eyesight should be avoided, for perma-
nent injury is easily effected If wrong
measures are taken. No child should
ever be allowed TO wear glasses until
a doctor has examined the eyes and
has recommended the use Of such.
To prevent eye strain the position in
which a child does its home work-in
regard to the lighting Of the room
should always be borne IN mind. Any
glare on the book or paper should be
avoided, and the light should fall
obliquely from behind.

Tn. Hands In Cold Weather.

To preserve the hands in good con-
dition in cold weather they should,
whenever possible, be washed in tepid
water, and II this Is softened by a
teaspOonful of borax so much the bet
ter.
Be sure to use a soap Of good quail
ty, and when drying the hands take
the precaution OF rubbing each finger
separately.
If the hands are rubbed over once a
day with a slice OF lemon and a little
cold cream or II mutton tallow is rub
bed into them thoroughly before going
to bed at night there will be little dan
ger Of the skin becoming chapped or
rough.
Chapped hands are almost always
caused by insufficient drying after
washing or perhaps the water was icy
cold and very hard or used too hot
Both extremes are bad for the skin

Miss Helen Gardner, the beautiful
s,,r of the moving picture theaters.
hes very decided views as to what con-
s+itutes beauty. Real loneliness lies in
tbe noise and control Of expression,
she ayers.
sTbelieve," says Miss Gardner, that as
nuromoter Of real beauty, the beauty Of
suression. the picture play is without
,p equal Symmetrical features and
slsaness Of skin are desirable gifts,
,Dd the possessor Of them is fortunate,
indeed, but beauty Of expression is to
he envied more than a beautiful COM
pledon.
Unlike upon the speaking stage, the
figures on the screen are enlarged to
MANY times their natural size. and in
the closing close up scenes every mus
Gle Of the face and every movement Of
the eyes used to express the different
emotions are shown as though under
q magnifying glass
The successful motion picture &C
tres is a thorough mistress of the art
Of expressive action and by 1t attracts
and holds the interest and sympathy
Of her audiences. Paint and powder
snd colored stage settings play no part
in the influence she exercises or the
attention she commands. 1t is her
beauty-not the symmetrical beauty of
face or figure, but the beauty of truth
and the magnetism of soul reflected
and glorifed in 'expression'-that is the
real charm.
Stick to your creams and your
ruugs If you will. They are harmless
little vanides. But study beauty of
expression if you would be genuinely
attractive"

Among the varied peoples that make
up the population OF New York city
are representatives OF almost every
race and nation under the sun. From
every quarter OF the globe they hail.
Perhaps the most interesting Of the
many queer peoples is a group OF Es-
kimos from Greenland They COM
prise father and mother and two chill
dren-a boy and a girl. They were born
north Of the arctic circle, where sum-
mer Is very short and the winter long
and severe. Injured to the higid
weather Of their native land, the Es-
kmos in New York laugh at our mild
winters. They enjoy the snow when
It comes, and the coolest day has no
terrors for them In their Greenland
home they live in winter In igloOs, or
huts built OF stones and earth. In Or
der to enter their dwellings they are
obliged to crowd through a long tun-
mel dug uader the snow. The tunnel Is
necessary TO keep out the cold winds.
At the entrance to the tunnel a block
Of snow Is used for a door. and at the
inner end is hung a curtain Of sealskin.
The hut. which contains but1ne room,
Is lighted and heated by a sO'ne lamp
containing seal or whale oil and pro-
vided with a wick Of moss. Some
times when they are travelling the Es-
hmos build a temporary house OF
blocks OF snow. This is said to be
fairly comfortable for an Eskimo, but
boys and girls Of this latitude would
find IT a pretty chilly place. The name
Of the boy In the picture Is EmOOtuk,
and he is about twelve years Of age.

or eyes. The ribbon hat to match the

be cleaned by smearing with fat or

hours. Wash OF with hot water to

has been added. and use a cloth tied
to a sink broom, SO as to avoid touch
