lSSVl I'D you ever stop to think that
WA being beautiful Is habit, or
- rather the result Of following
good habits? This is an inn
portant and a very serious matter
when it is borne in mind that every
one desires to be other than homely.
Many Of us are burdened with more
bad habits than we are blessed with
good habits, so for this reason talk
on the breaking of bad habits will
prove of interest to large percentage
of readers.
The breaking of bad habit is a very
difficult task, and only by persisteney
and an exertion of will power can It be
done. One encouraging thought Is the
fact that the second attempt VIII be
much easier than the first.
Among the most common bad habits
ia the one OF nail-biting. Consclen-
tious mothers try hard to break this
fault in early childhood, others pay no
attention to it at all However, the
habit is sometimes not started until
one has reached mature age. II ls
then the duty of the offending one 70
hreak the habit herself The practice
ia not only detrimental to attractive
nails, but ii is an ugly sight to see a
woman chewing with fiendish fervor
he rims of her fingers. Some women
are string-minded enough 70 STOP the
habit without any local help. Others
require assistance, It is when the
hands are unoccuped that one IN
dulees in the habit; therefore, the rem
ody IL simple enough. Merely cover
the fingers with gloves or finger tips
cut from old gloves. 1t will be impos-
sihIe then for the nails to be bitten.
Another common habit is llp-btting,
Persons Of nervous temperament are
guilty of this Two remedies have 10
be applied for this trouble. The first
one consists OF measures to overcome
the nervousness, OF course, if II Is OF
a serious nature a physician should be
called in If It is slight the patient
should begin at once to effect a cure.
Plenty of sleep, exercise, nourishing
food and change Of environment are
needed to restore strength to the
nerves And then to break the lip-bit-
ing habit the lips should be covered
with quinine so that just the minute
the teeth reach them the person will be
reminded Of her effort TO break the
practice The habit not only twists
the face out of shape, but it cracks the
skin of the lips so that they always
look unslghtly Many women have
been known to bite or wet the lips
with the tongue Just before entering a
drawing room In order TO bring color
brings the color, but Ia time II injuries
TO the lips. The action certainly
the skin TO such an extent that the
greatest amount OF color will not hide
the roughness of the skins texture.
Frowning is nothing more than a
habit. Sometimes 1t is caused by eye
strain, but quite frequently 1t is done
when one is thinking intently. When
conyenlsnt the guilty person should
place piece OF adhesive plaster on the
forehead, as shown in the photograph.
1t will then be impossible to draw the

You'll Win In the Effort to Break Them.

flesh to form such deep cutters Even
an attempt 10 do so will be checked
by the presence of the plaster, Deep
lines give one an older look and for
this reason the frowning habit should
be checked before it is too late. If
lines have been formed it Is advisable
to try to remove them by applying a
liberal amount of cold cream and mas
saying with the finger tips. The mas
seSe will be most effective if it fol-
lows steaming or washing of the face
in bot water. The tips of the fingers
should be dipped in cold cream, and
then, the skin Of the forehead should
be deeply stroked from the middle line
out over the temples.
Going from the forehead to the feet
let us next consider the habit of walk
ing witl the feet turned inward, thus
making one piseon-toed. This is
habit that sometimes arises from a
sore corn or some other ailment of the
foot which causes one to walk In the
most comfortable manner despite the
effect the position Of the feet has on
ones gait II you are among the guilty
I suggest that you try walking az
imaginary chalk line. Place one foot
directly in front of the other The eX-
erclse Will also be helpful TO one who
has Just the opposite habit, that of
turning the feet out toe far when walk
ing.
1t is really SAD to see the number
of women, and men, too, who are round
shouldered. Whenever | see a man or
woman sitting in such an unnatural
position ! can imagine hear the lungs
crying out for air. 1t is impossible for
them to get sufficient oxygen when the
framework of the body is so doubled
There are many causes of round
shoulders. Among them are muscular
or constitutional weakness, rapid
growth, overwork, impure air or ill
ventilated rooms. acute Illness, near
sightedness not corrected by glasses,
and lack of proper exercise. As soon
as the cause IS located strenuous effort
should be made TO remove it, A very
simple procedure which will help In
slight cases is to form the habit of
sitting in the position illustrated. II
you have few minutes TO relax

HOW TO WEAR YOUR CORSET
Many Useful and Timely Hints On This
Very Important Subject of To-Day.

Now about laclng: ! have been 4
c0rsetiere for about 20 years. and find
that lacing a corset has more 10 dc
with the III OF a corset than y u would
think. The following is The propeI
way to fit corset: Use ~vc-yard
lacing. knot ends Of five ysraS. In
sert ends of laces in toy eyeieis (fronI
underl; pull laces through eyelets
evenly until temporary knot is be-
tween the top eyeleis; continue in
serting from under on dOH j until YOU
come to tape waist line. The middlt
or center Of the waist tape is The waist
lire proper Here skip one hole no.
u. inserting lacing in eyelets (No. p
nearest lower edge waist line Insert
laces then from over in eyeleis mo. -
skipped on the same side; leave loops.
Continue lacing on down from under to
eyelet opposite fullest part of hip (not
bottom Of corset and make double,
runner loops. Continue lacing down 10
bottom of corset from over. tying cIds
in a permanent knot on each side.
Leave your laces knotted each side OF
top and bottom Of corset. Pull corset
as far apart as laces win permit, six
to eight iuches, ready for adjusting.
Now, how to adjust corset. Com
paratiyely few women take the time
or trouble to find out how to adjust
corset properly Now, having left your.
corset six to eight inches apart, stand
with heels together; place the corset
we'll down on the figure back and
front; be sure that the waist tape (or
the smallest part Of the corset) Is on
the waist line Of the body Now so
many ask me II it makes a difference
which hook you fasten first. | find in
fastening the top hook first it holds the
corset on the figure Take the bottom
Of corset on front steel in each hand;
fasten the hook next to the bottom,
then the bottom hook, then open the
top hook and fasten the remaining
hooks. ~
Grasp the corset at The bottom with
both hands and take a deep breath and
pun yourself up in your corset. Pull
the back Of the corset well down into
Aplace Now fasten your garters front.
only we'll inside of the limbs so that
the garters will not tea the cloth from
the front stay. This teeps the skirt
from wrinkling and allows freedom in
stepping up. Now take lacing in each
hand and give firm, even pull straight
out (not up or DOWN and drop them.
Do not tie This ans aors the corset at
the waist line Take hold of the hip
loops the same as the waist line;
dra" very snug ,
Do not pull the corset together al
the bottom. The corset when adjusted
completely should be open two and
half to three inches equally distant az
top and bottom and center. Tie tenn
porarily. Take up the slack In the
lacings FROM the hip loops up to the
waist also from the top e$ the corset
down to the waist. Draw fp the slack
tie the waist laces with Etngle loop
about One-half inch to the tuside Of the
back steel and insert the isces under
the steel in the most convenient hOl-
low Of the body Again pull hip laces;
tie with single loop, the same as the
waist one-half inch from the back
steel; insert laces under the bach
steel.

The greatest possible variety obtains
in the treatment of collars The
