Short Skirts Are Hea|thfuI

cal movements will no longer De her constant state.
 But one of the most valuable fac tors in the wearing of short skirts is the absence of heavy, draggine weights upon her waist and abdo- men. The long skirts with theiI under apparel prevent proper movement of the great breathing muscle-the diaphragm. In many women, especially those who have been under the dragging chains oi past injurious fashions, this breath ing muscle has become almost use less
 Proper breathing, the deep draw ing in of oxygen through the heav- ing of this big muscle, was seldom acquired. Hence the headaches, the back pains, the paleness and gen eral discomfort of so many womn.
 Again, short skirts will necessi tate the wearing of high boots dur ing winter and chilling weather This means protection of the ar teries and veins which in the ankles are nearer the surface than at most other parts of the body.

Facts About Playing Cards

astronomical and numerical basis
 First. there were two colors, and those stood for day and night Then there were the four suits, and they stood not only or love, knowledge wealth and death. but also for the four seasons spring, summer, au tumn and winter Next there were thirteen cards in each suit, and they stood for the sun and the twelve signs of the zodiac. Next there were the twelve court cards tthe four kings. the four queens and the four jacks) and these stood for the twelve months And finally there was the whole bunch of cards added together making fifty-two, or the total number of weeks in the year.
 No, that was not final. ither, for the anCients had a way of work. ing the planets in, just as the astrol- ogers work them into the horo, scopes or as the astronomers work them into the circle of the zodiac and as there were seven of these planets aside from the sun and the moon, to go around the twelve parts of the circle, they multiplied the fifty-two cards in the pack by seven, added the joker to it and got 365, or the number of days in the year
 There are some histories of play ing cards that will tell you that the cards came into modern civil zation through Spain, in the reck less days of the height of that country's glory, when money wa as free as air and men cared nc more for fortune and home thar they did for life and morals Anc others will trace them down into 1 Egypt, or will find remnants o them in Persia or India, or ever in China. But, wherever the trai i is followed, there is always, it i, acknowledged practically this same unity of form.
 Now and then the number o cards Is changed; but that is only when and where the ideas of mum bers and astronomy change. where the days of the month are mor' or less, and the days of the veal also different From dark Egyp to enlightened Europe from tropit India to Arctic northern America the underlying idea always remains the same The figures always con tinue unmodiiied, in general form The spots continue placed in the same relative positions.

If women will wear short skirts for a year or two they will not return to long skirts They will find such enjoyment. such an improvement in health and freedom of movement that the knee-high skirt will be the rational costume, says Dr. William Lee Howard in the New York Am erican.
 Dress has nothing to do with true modesty; only with false mod csty. It is the mental attitude and physical actions of a woman which make for modesty or immodesty.
 A woman can be far more i'm modest in long skirts and swishing lingerie than she can be in a short skirt and high boots Nothing is evil but what thinking makes it SO"
 Few persons understand the value of air circulating around the body. The skin must breathe as well as the lungs.
 With short skirts the air is able to circulate around the lower limbs This gives tone to the lower DOT tion of the body and, of course, this aids in the general tone. It fur ther aids in getting fresh air into the lungs. because of the freedom of limbs, which makes walking a joy instead of an effort.
 A woman wearing a short skirt can swing onto the trolley car steps, descend and ascend the subway stairs, step into a motor car and fearlessly carry her grip in one hand while she grasps the rail to enter a railway car. All these lit tie facts taken together and con tinued over year or so will have great influence upon her nervous and physical health

ICED TEA.

All kinds of teas are not equally suitable for making iced teas. Some teas, especially the heavy bodied In- dia varieties, make infusions that turn turbid on cooling. This turbid- ity may be so prominent that one might think skinned milk had been added
 An interesting experiment may be made by brewing small amounts of several teas, as English Break fast, India (Orange Pekoe. Assam or DarjeelingD Ceylon, and For mosa Oolong, then chilling and not ing those that remain clear.
 When iced tea is served to large numbers of people it is often made several hours in advance, cooled and then iced as needed. Under these conditions this tendency to turbidity is especially troublesome, as it haa time to show itself to it's full extent.
 The heavy bodied teas may not make attractive and sparkling bever- ages, but they are delicious served hot with cream.
 Do not expect one and the same tea to be equally platable and at tractive served hot or cold. with cream or with lemon.

HOW PUCkERING IS CAUSED.

Puckering is caused by holding the right elbow close to the side in sewing. The needle, of course continues to slant, and half of the stitch becomes wider than the oth CT half Naturally if this be by only one thread in a long seam a pucker will ensue, But if the el bow be brought slightly forward and the hand held so that the in side of the palm faces the sewer the needle will point straight and both halves of the stitch will be of the same size

THE TEMPERED ONES.

Ii the fondness or vanity of fath- CT or mother has kept man from hard work. If another has always helped him out at the end of his trouble, if what was light always fell to him and what was heavy fell to someone else, if he has been permitted to shirk until shirking has become habit, his life will be a dishealtening failure.

WHY FEW WOMEN STAMMER

Have you ever met a woman who -tammerso II you have ycu are a man in d thousand, for stammerirs H extremely rare among women.
 ia most ,ascs the reason why a rau ~tutters over his words Is due to sheer nervousness or self-con. sciousness He thinks he is going to ~tammer and that makes him dc so
 Women suffer far less from self consciousness than men, and that is W6y they SD seldom stammer. ii they are sell-conscious they usually show il by blushing and not by halting in their speech.
 Of course there are cases ot stammering which simply cannot be cured whatever means are tried. But nine people out of ten can cure themselves if they will not think they are going 10 stutter, and f they will learn for a time t3 speak slowly and distinctly. An excellent help, too, is to read aloud to oneself

A CURE FOR SoUEAKS.

There are very few houses which do not have floors that are always squeaking as persons walk ovel them. Such squeaking is very an. moving. and many different sugges tions have been made to remedy the nuisance. but curiously enough only a few of the suggestions have proven of any real value
 Many persons think the squeak ing is caused by the flooring board not being properly nailed, but iii most cases this is not the case, at all
 The tongues and grooves of tn narrow boards do not always fiji together exactly tight, and a little pressure on either side of the crack and between joints, where the boards are nailed, will cause the board> to spring slightly, causing the dis agreeable sQueaking sounds.
 Tn bst remedy for a squcaky floor is to apply a little liquid glue to the cracks This can be done bs dipping a thin strip of metal ir the glue and inserting carefully i' the crack at the point from which the sound comes.
 A knife blade can be uSed tc apply the glue. Simply dip the point in the glue and insert in the crack. Move the blade about slight ly to remove the glu, and make il stick to the flooring, whre it will dry in a short time and stop the squeaking
