car had stepped, but it was one of the

strap. Two or three vehicles were in
tbe way. but the woman, carrying her
self perfectly upright, her skirt gathered

properly, ran in and out between them
with groat skill and stepped aboard tbe
car. She did pause a moment on the
platform to regain her poise after her
chase, but with head erect and easy gait
entered the car and sank into a seat.
“When I was young,” said tbe man who
had directed his friend's attention to the
episode as they passed on, “I remember
it used to be said that ‘grace adorns a
woman until she begins to run,' but that
woman's grace did not forsake her even

In |K>int of fact the old saw has quite
lost its pith. It does not hold in eithei
proposition. Grace does uot adorn all
women even to the running point, and
many women like the one who excited the
comment just quoted can run with ele

ess, running
with the body and letting the legs drag
after as best they may.”
The same professor preached a short
sermon to her class on another occasion.
“The grace of our grandmothers,” said
she, “was the grace; miscalled, of -sup
pression: that of to-day is activity. The
physical development of the woman of
this period begiqs at her toes and extends
through every separate joint of her
body.” Whereupon she proceeded to
put the girls through a half hour's prac
tice, which consisted entirely in moving
the finger joints to secure a graceful use
of the hand.
The soul of grace is suppleness. The
old Greeks knew this, and tbe fiu du
siecle young women are discovering it
anew. At the fashionable schools the
gymnastic lesson has long since ceased
to be an hour of calisthenics in blouses
and short shirts with the conventional
outstretched arm movements. Said
pupil of one of them recently; “We do
everything in our exercise practice. We
wag our heads and stretch our necks
aud work every separate nniccle we own.

When the modern girl is fairly started
in her study of grace aud the poetry of
motion, which some one says should be
ao perfect “that If every muscle struck a
note in this wonderful instrument of
nature only harmony would result,” she
begins to apply her knowledge to the
every day happenings of life.

United States Senator Joseph M.
Carey, of Wyoming, made an eloquent
address at the late meeting of the Na
tional American Woman Suffrage asso

the first election in the new state was

ever objection a man conld have raised
before to a woman’s going to the polls
and voting was entirely removed by
this system.”
No; we don’t want men to take a back
seat just because they are men, but we
intend women shall have their share of
the front seats from this time on. It is
not the entering on tins or that occupa
tion, or even following this or that line
of conduct, that is insisted ou in behalf
of our sex. We would force nobody into
any trade or profession. It is that we
want the liberty to choose our own occu
pations and do as we please without be

Lady Florence Dixie tells in a manner
that is altogether- delicious how she
evaded the words “love, honor and obey”
in the church marriage ceremony. She
says: “For myself I am not ashamed to
confess it I did not pronounce them.
I merely substituted er, er, er, in a low
voice.” Girls, don’t Jforget Lady Flor
ence’s er, er, er. Years ago, when a be
loved girl chum of mine was about to be
married by the Methodist service, before
tbe ceremony I saw the minister at her
request aud asked him to omit from the
pledge the word “obey." It was sur
prisingly refreshing to me to hear this
good Methodist clergyman answi-r: “Oh,

that has any sense ever does any more. -

It is no longer thought childish by
even the wisest and most dignified of
women to pay dne regard to the pres

be possessed of. A prominent physician
says in this regard, “There is no use, for
instance, in allowing one’s month in
middle life to run riot all over the lower
part of one’s face.”
Many women regard it as silly to take
any measures to confine it within proper
limits—women who labor earnestly to
reduce the proportions of their waists.
Many a nose aim. if stroked in the right
direction in the privacy of one’s cham

angles. Careful stroking down of the
cheek beside the nose could also soften
the pronounced rising there which dis

the woman of today have a care of her
features. She resolutely banishes from
her bedroom the luxurious pillows of

them by a small, hard, hair pillow, which
