THE WELL GR0oMED WOMAN
Immaculate Dress Is Always Looked
Upon With Most Favor.


This is distinctly a period of good
grooming among women. The sloven-
ly though perhaps artistic looking
woma is no longer in the running.
The woman who has the features of a
Greek goddess and yet neglects to
have her hair properly shampooed and
dressed creates more adverse comment
than the woman of irregular, even
poor features who shows the good
effect Of careful grooming.
Good grooming is simply immaculate
cleanliness and exquisite attention to
details OF the person. but in their
anxiety TO acquire this effect IN
are prone to adopt cosmetics Or to
employ means for reducing defects
wherein the remedy is more undesir-
able than the defect itself. The wise
woman is she who emphasizes all her
good points so that they may outsline
and distract from her defects. When
a defect is so deep rooted as to require
radical treatment it is far better for Il
woman to ignore it's existence than to
endanger her personal appearance,
and perhaps her health. by trying to
treat herself. If the defect is one
which requires surgical treatment. go
to an expert or endure the annoyance
of the defect rather than risk what
beauty you have by usin" an acid. the
needle or electricity yourself.

For Some 7ime-Fed by Girl.

For some lime--6d by Girl.
While a little Montana girl was car
ryin@ Il pet cat in her arms it became
frightened. Sprang down and fell into
Il mining shaft. The girl listened and
heard the cat crying far below. She
got her brother to lower IL long rope
into the Shaft. hoping that the cat
would catch on and be hoisteu, but the
ROPE vas too short or the cat too
tlmid; Il; any rate. the scheme failed.
For two weeks the girl Went regularly
every day and threw down meat and
bread TO The cat, and then the mewing
ceased.
For the next two months miners re-
ported ut intervals that they heard Il
baby crying in the shafts. and the SUI
perstitious men got very much alarm
ed. Finally two months after the cat
was lost while some children We're
playin. near the dump a clrlold Of
waste was deposited, and from the top
jumped Il cat.
The children ran to the rescue and
found q sorry looking feline specimen.
It's hair was matted and soiled. it was
sore and lame, and the only mark Of
identification was the little ribbon
around its neck. to which was attach

SPORTS
For the First Time In History WON.
ems Feet Are Emancipated.

Sports clothes are good looking, they
arc comfortable. they give freedom to
body and to lungs. Sports shoes, for
the first time in woman's history, al
low her feet to be set on the ground in
that healthful and satisfactory way
which men have known for years.
This very matter Of foot furnishing
is in itself a boon. since it not only
makes the foot itself symmetrical, but
the body is held right. hips and shout
ders are we'll poised, the woman for
once may walk as Il human being and
not as Il mincing feminine creature.
This correct poise of the foot and body
Is something that conseryes the
strength. whether one walks or stands,
for walking Is made easier and more
to do, there is no wrong pressure upon
nerves or the bony structure.
O%steopathy of late years has proved
that this last named mistake
times affects the general health or
health Of the various organs of the
body. and certainly that which affects
or harms the general health will not
add to the beauty. to the good looks of
the complexion. the contour of the face
nor the brightness and pleasing express
sion Of the eye.
10 hark back to the matter Of the
correct and manllish last used for
sports shoes for women it has doubt
less surprised many to find out how
becoming these shoes are to the fem

ed foot needs neither pointed toe nor
French high heel to appear to advan-

hide or disguise defects, as we'll as to

SIGNS OF RAIN.
Simple Things That Tell Us When a
Storm Is Brewinu.

Storm Is Brewing.
On the subject Of predicting rain. Rol-
lin Lynde HART in the Woman's Home
Companion writes in part as follows:
There are plenty Of soundly scien-
tifc weather signs that are right be-
fore our eyes and vouched for by the
best metcorologists. For instance, the
ring around the moon,' which is pro-
duced by a thin, tilmy cloud made up
of minute particles Of ice-a state Of
things not built to last. Either some
unlocked for commotion will put a stop
to it in a different manner, or it will
pour eats and dogs within three days
at most. In eighty-six cases out Of a
hundred the rule holds good. A still
better sign is the ring around the SUM-
This is science, pure and simple, and
SO is the old maxim: The farther the
sight the nearer the rain It is not
pessimism that makes people along the
coast predict a downpour when they
can pick out the separate houses OF a
faraway island, or people in mountain
II regions call it too good to last
when Il distant peak, generally invisi-
bic, into view. They are shrewd
meteorologists in making these pre-
dictions, and also in declaring that
sounds carry better when q rainstorm
Is brewing.
"Of all nice, convincing weather
signs. however, a 'sickening sky is
pretty nearly the most reliable. When
the deep warm blue grows paler, and
then whitish, and your spirits drop, and
shadows fray at the edges and disap-
pear. then you have a sickening sky.
Rain is not being brought up ready
made from afar, it is being manufac-
tured directly overhead.
The color of the sky, then, is n fair
ly trustworthy sign In and Of itself,
and SO is the color Of the clouds. In
tenscly white clouds against an in
tenseiy blue Sky mean bright weather
ahead. Grayish clouds on a lightish
blue foretell rain"

with SUGGESTIONS"
She admired his f%rankness, but 1t
seemed to her that he was a trifle self
ISL. He was thinking Of himself in
wanting his bride to be approved by
his friends instead Of desiring her to
regain her health for her own sake.
He was a good man. but was inclined
to selfishness.

to a lover-like man!
He wrote that he was looking for a
"shack," as he called it. for them to
live in: then n day he wrote her that
he had found one. He didn't suppose
she would like it. but it was the best
he could do. He managed to say one
pleasant thing-he believed the house
in which a couple lived should stand In
the name Of the wife and he had put
the deed in her name.
The summer came to an end at last,
and the future Mrs. Jameson returned
to the city. Her lover seemed quite
pleased with the change in her and
said that he would not be ashamed of
her appearances. He asked her If she
would like a large or a small wedding,
and she replied that since it was evi.
dent he would wish his own way about
everything else she might as we'll give
in in that as all the rest. Then lie
showed his obstinacy in refusing to de,
eide the matter. and she chose n small
wedding. Indeed. she preferred that nc
guest should be present.
They were married ut noon, and, since
the groom was unable to leave his bust
ness, instead Of taking a wedding trip
I, they went direct to their future home.
The bride asked no questions about 1t,
but she was in a CULVER to see it. She

1t was dark when they reached their

alighted and looked at it she drew
back. She was before the house from
which she had been turned out a veal
before. Then she looked at her husband
in wondering inquiry. But he hurried
her into it. and when they We're inside
he said. How do you like your shack?'
Then it burst upon her that under ar
assumed matter Of fact philosophy he
had been covering up the sentiment OF
