Suppose you have four girls in your

Dining Room Furnishing.

The furniture proper to any room
is that which meets the needs for
which the room exists and no other
Therefore. in q dining room the fur
niture properly consists Of the table
from which we eat, the chairs we sit
upon at meals and a sideboard or
serving table from which food or ex-
ira dishes may be conveniently taken
and in or on which silver and dishes
in constant use may be kept between
m calls. A table or stand for flower
ing plants or ferns in the window is
also desirable, for nowhere more than
in the dining room is there need of
Ahe cheerfulness and peace which
flowers bring.
If it is in any way possible these
pieces of furniture, except the flower
stand. which may be Of wicker, should
be uniform in wood and style. The
lighting of the table is most i'm
portant from the points of view or
both comfort and appearance. People
want to see what they are eating. but
they do not want to eat in an unbe-
coming glare that hurts their eyes.
Shaded candle light is still probably
the prettiest table light there is. but
there must be enough Of it. The light
should fall upon the table. not upon
those who eat, and should be softened
to cast as becoming light as pos
ible.

A Beauty Exercise.

The two things that a woman most
breads as she nearS middle life are
wrinkles and the loss of her youthful
figure.
We talk about wrinkles. and the
way to treat them, and the way to
prevent them, quite often in this col
umn. Today 1 would like to talk
about retaining a youthful figure.
Now this must positively be done by
means of exercise. You may get suf-
ficient healthy exercise through your
work or your sports to retain the
young lines of your figure, but il Hou
do not-and particularly if you have
any tendency toward what we call
settled fgure-you will have to take
special exercises.
Here is an excellent one for re-
ducing the abdomen and giving slen-
der supple lines: Htand in stocking
feet or heeless vhoes and without
corsets on, and hold the hand straight
up over the head; bend swiftly to
touch the floor with the tips Of the
fingers, keeping the knees straight. If
you are not accustomed to exercise
you will feel a strain at the muscles
back of the knee and you may not be
able for many days to be able to
touch the floor with your finger tips.
But II you will persist you will soon
be able to do it. After time you will
not only be able to touch the floor
with the finger tips, but with the
knuckles of the clenched hands and
finally with the palm of the open
hands. The fact that certain muscles
will be sore from doing this exercise
only proves how badly you need it
This calls into play a great many
muscles not generally used and will
really do wonders in keeping the fig
ure young and elastic. 1t is this
elasticity which preserves the much
desired lines Of youth

far the thing works out almost like

A Cline Budget" Pays.

One of the best short cuts in house
keeping that has been discovered, is
the time budget. This time budget,
or working schedule, is made out by
the housekeeper. and covers her
working day from the time she rises
in the morning to the time she
washes the dinner dishes at night.
Every hour is accounted for. The fol-
lowing one is a good example. 1t is
the Saturday time budget of a bride
who lives in city apartment:

together; 8, wave John Off. then
turn my attention to ordering; $3.50,
go to the telephone and order from
butcher and grocer: 8:45, wash break

rights; $50, start baking. doing bread.

Sunday; 1870. start lunch for John,
then go into the living room and rest

keep up with John mentality; 1880,

lunch together; 1:45, wash the lunch
con dishes and put the dinner in the
hre1ess cooker; 2. start to matinee

the dinner on the table from the fire.
