K. HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
Om of tho Ettentlal Foocsiiona is a
Graceful Carriage.
If your mirror tells ysiu that you are
not beautiful, do not allow that to de
press you. In our liberal interpretation
of the word "beauty,” there are many
degrees; and hopelessly homely, indeed,
must be the woman who cannot be iu-
some one of them.
A speaking

whether.it be large or small—fine hair,

Hbe possession of any one of these
a claim to a tvrt.lin anumm
HHi-omeliuess. the amount hi ilia alto-
dependent on the determination
the possessor to make the most of
what has been given her.
A well-poised body, for instance, is
no less essential to health than to phys
ical beauty, and the woman who de
sires to be physically perfect, even
though she may be indifferent to her
personal appearance, cannot he too
careful in guarding against faulty po
sitions of the body.
In standing, rest the weight of the
body principally on tile balls of the
feet, letting the heels lightly touch the
ground. The chest should be elevated
and thrown forward, and the head held

ll, and the lower part of the spine

sßoulderjj! bringing them into a-lino
pip-allel with the Lips, the feet resting
lightly on the ground.
One of the first endeavors of a wom
an who wishes to improve her per
sonal appearance should be to acquire
a graceful carriage.
Have you ever noticed how r.r. ad
mittedly beautiful woman carries tier
self? How erect site holds her head!
How daintily she steps along, not set
ting her heel down first, as so many
heavy-footed, ungainly-looking women
do. but springing lightly, placing the
ball of the toe first to the ground, and
the heel afterwards.
A graceful carriage gives an air of
distinction and high-breeding that
nothing else can. It enhances a good
figure and lends to an imperfect one
an case and dignity.
Look to your walk, then. Don't
wabble from side to side. Held your
head up. Take iu deep breaths, which

whether they be round or nlmond
phaped, small or large, blue, black,
'green, gray or brown, go a long way
toward making a woman good to look
upon. Every woman, provided she is
not troubled with some affection cf the
skin (in which case she should consult
a reliable physician), can have these, if
she will take even the most ordinary
care of iter health.—Marguerite Brooks,

Newest Styles in Hairdressing.
From the styles in hair dressing worn
it is safe to predict the coming ultra
fashionable coiffure. The hair is worn
almost as low on the forehead as that
of Queen Alexandra's present dressing.
Instead of the bang, however, there
are soft, flat puffs and a part at the
side.
Many persons are using adjustable
false hair under the puffs to produce
the effect of mass and to keep the hair
in place.
Hairdressers in England named
these additions "coronation transfor
mations," and assured their titled cus
tomers that at the “dramatic moment"
when they heard the words, "Peer
esses, assume your coronets,” they
needed to have no fear of their hair be
coming disarranged with one cf these
pieces deftly tucked beneath the puffs.
In America, where we are constitu
tionally unable to assume coronets,
these fringes promise to become ex
ceedingly popular for automobiling.
Small, close waves are entirely out
of date, as Is the long, useless curl,
which was given a temporary revival
last winter. Simplicity is the keynote
now, and wide, soft, natural waves
like those in the portraits of Romney
and Cosway, are altogether in favor.
The broad undulations have also a
practical as well as an aesthetic advan
tage, for they require much less curl
ing with injurious hot Irons than was
needed for the narrow' ones.
In the back the hair is wern extreme
ly low; even more so than last year.
Although the knot, when completed,
should have the appearance of pleats,
actual braiding is not part of the pro
cess.
First divide the hair into an upper
and lower strand, and then put a soft
loop low on the neck, and pin the end
in under so that It resembles part of
a braid.
The upper strand should be arranged
in the same manner and finished off
with a round comb at the top and shell
pins,—New York Herald.
Modern Woman’* Versatility-
One of the greatest charms of the
attractive modern woman, says a
French author, lies in her great variety
of moods. She presents a different type
half a dozen times a day. so that one
is never bored in her company, while
the interest is constantly sustained by
wondering what phase will be present
ed next. Certainly the girl of the new
century answers to this description,
for she has almost as many sides as
there are facets to a diamond. She is
charmingly girlish in her simple white
frock in the morning, arranging the
flowers or performing some other pret
ty domestic service. She is deliciously
feminine gowned in beruftlfd muslin
driving about in her low basket wagon,
like a girly girl of long ago. She is de
cidedly masculine in all her riding togs,
with all the courage and dash of an
adventuresome youth in her pursuit of
sport by laud and water. Afterward,
strangest of all tho transformations,
looking like a gnome from elfin nd, she
appears in goggles, visor and coat while
taking out her French racing “bubble”
for a spin. Later, returning dusty and
grimy, like a butterfly emerging from
a chrysalis, she finally reappears in a
bewitching French concoction, with
long silken train, ready for conquest
iu the evening.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Too Much Exercise.
"Dc you know,” said a pale young
invalid at a health resort recently, “1
believe tiiat the articles that, are writ
ten on the necessity < f physical exercise
for women are mostly rot. I am a case
in point. Ever since I was born I
have been fed or hygienic foods, have
done hygienic things—and have been
an invalid. To develop my muscle I
have steadily attended gymnasiums, and
my room is equipped with chest
weights, dumbbells, Indian clubs and
a punching bag. Now, at the age of
twenty, I am as thin and pale as a fac
tory hand. My cousin Mary lias never
considered her health. So far as I
known, she never ate anything because
it was good for her or refrained be
cause it was bad for her. She never
pulled a chestweight or swung a club
in her life, yet she is the picture of
health, with a color and figure any one
would envy. Exercise may be a pleas
ant form of diversion, but I am con
vinced it has very little to do with
one's health.''—;Jjpw York Tribune.
I.otclt Dreesrs of Challles.
Surprisingly lovely dresses are made
of eliallics, both plain and figured
being fashionable this season. Stripes
and polka dots on dark grounds are
selected for cool days and general
wear, and the light grounds with rose
bud pattern for the daintiest of dress
occasions. All the shops are having
sales of inexpensive but beautiful
laces that will trim challie gowns
nicely.
Millinery Note*.
Panne for headgear, both in piece
goods and ribbon, is a thing of the
past.
All indications point to many and
decided changes in the millinery world
for autumn wear.
The very flat shape must go. The
low crown has been in too long, so is
to be superseded by quite high ones.
Fur will only be seen in rare cases
except in a matched set, where (here
is hat, muff and neck piece to match.
A bird and feather season is an
nounced for autumnal chapeaux, with
ornaments conspicuous by their ab
sence.
A great vogue of green is predicted.
Weird shades of green, mostly in ad
junctive touches in velvet ribbon, about
four inches wide, are to be la mode.
The new shapes are pretty, graceful
and far less eccentric than for some
seasons past. A raised side with
drooping back is a feature of many of
them in felt.
Wi A effects in every color and com
bination tire to be prominent trimming
features this autumn. Whole birds,
both large and small, and coeque
plumes are also shown as to be among
the most favored hat garnitures.
Together with the favor of a higher
crown is a decided lessening in the
width of the brims. All the smartest
hats have but a medium, often an actu-%
ally small brim. Fashion arbiters eon
strue this as an indication of the toque
and turban shapes as to be most
swagger.
For every day wear black of
course, be first favorite with a 'few
cherry reds and green worn by- younger
women. For dress occasions white
will be first favorite with very bright
tints of gray and bfown, and an al
most white tinge of blue worn to a
certain extent.
Anew lace, called the Queen's lace,
of a pale ecfn tint, will tie used on
handsome hats as an around the brim
dimming, and to fall down in the back,
much in the style file veil was used
this summer. It is to be very swagger
as a material to form crowns, also.
This new lace is one of the latest and
smartest points of the millinery world.
Velvet is to be by far the most-Msed

ALLIGATOR AND SNAKE SKINS.
Extinction of the Animals Threatened
by the Demand for Their Hides.
Anew fashion in a modern city may
mean the decimation or even extinc
tion ol' an entire species of the lower
animals. The craze for alligator skins
during the past twelve years came
very nearly making that hideous rep
tile as dead as the dodo. When a
large animal brought two dollars in
the open market every lazy darky
down Bouth who lived within ten
miles of a pool or bayou was out after
"gater" from dawn to dusky eve. They
killed so many that the market was
flooded after a time .and then the
price began to fall. It has gone down
steßdily, and the latest advices from
the Louisiana bayous and the Florida
swamps give fifty cents for the raw
hide of a saurian of more than ten feet
in length and only twenty-five for a
chicken "gater.” This hardly pays for
their killing, and the supply is running
down in consequence. The alligator
has now- a chance for his life, and
in mauy districts is increasing in num
bers perceptibly.
On the other hand, the snake family
is experiencing great hardship. A
dealer in fine snake skins said: "There
is a steady demand for the more beau
tiful kinds which we are never quite
able to fill. Some varieties are so
popular that they bring ridiculously
high prices. The coral snake of South
America, which, by the way, is not,
ns currently believed, a red creature,
hut a beautifully mottled scarlet, black,
rose-pink, and brown one, has gone
up from ten cents (o a dollar for the
raw skin in Brazil, and it is almost
impossible to get it in this city. The
few that are caught go to Paris and
St. Petersburg, and now and then some
are shipped to the Far East, where
they enjoy even a larger popularity
than in the Occident.
“The most beautiful snake skin in
American is the marsh diamond-back
rattler of Central and Southern Flor
ida. It is the king of American ophidia.
Its colors are almost metallic in their
lustre, and they are arranged so as to
form about as brilliant a harmony as
can be found. The skin tans easily,
and when thoroughly prepared will
last almost as well as a third-class
leather.”—New York Post.

“ SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It.
PERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as the
men; it is just the thing for the many
little catarrhal ailments of childhood.
The following testimonials from thank
ful men and women tell in direct, syieere
language what their success has been in
the use of Peruna m their families:
Louis J. Scherrinaky, 103 Locust street,
Atlantic. Jowa, writes:
“1 will tell you briefly what Peruna has
dene foi me. 1 took a severe cold which
gave me a hard cough. All doctors’ medi
cines failed to cure it. I took one bottle
of Peruna ani was well.
“Then my two children had bad coughs
accompanied by gagging. My wife had
stomach trouble for years. She took Pe
ru na and now she is well.
“I cannot express my thanks in words,
but 1 recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for 1 can conscientiously say
that there is no medicine like Peruna.
Nearly every oue in this town knew about
the sickness of myself and family, and
they have seen with astonishment what
Peruna has done for us. Many followed
our example, and the result was health.
Thanking you heartily, I am." L. J.
Scherrinsky.
Mrs. Nannie Wallace, Tulare, Cal.,
President of the Western Baptist Mis
sionary Society, writes:
“I consider Peruna an indispensable ar
ticle in my medicine chest. It is twenty
medicines in one. and has so far cured
every sickness that has been in my home
for five years. 1 consider it of special
value to weakly women, as it builds up
the general health, drives out disease and
keeps you in the best of health/’ —Mrs.
Nannie Wallace.
Peruna protect* the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, catarrh
of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It is

the bowels an it is a case of catarrh of the
