■PvY 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 mouth—no matter whether.it be large or small—fine hair, |^;ood 'complexion, or a graceful figure 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 I; while the lower part of fue spine Id he thrown backward, sitting, one is apt to be even marc less and slouchy than in standing, (tody should be in an upright po ll, and the lower part of the spine yn a couple of .inches back cf the 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 will give your chest breadth and ful- Don’t put your feet dawn flat as Bpxivi along. lTaotii-o pulling the of your toes down first instead Bryour heels, and see what a difference Ct will make in your appearance.

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, iu Success. 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.

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. A. M.
