when physical development through club swinging was touched upon. "Physical culture," said the little woman, "is a subject on which volumes might lie written before its possibilities and necessities.axe fully understood. Professors of theart have multiplied, yet doctors and hospitals are us liberally patronized as ever. 'Favored classes can indulge in the luxury in the many elaborately fitted gymnasiums that have sprang up in all our cities, and towns, but until the art is more practiced in the public schools the jjoorer classes can get no benefit "Club swinging I regard as the best of.nil the exercises in this line, because almost any one can practice it. There is no.costly apparatus to pay for, and all the exercise that is wanted can be taken in erne's room on arising in the morning or just before retiring. 'I would not advise too long practice at a time to beginners, for the exercise brings every nxxtfiole in the body into play, and one feeler the effects after a few minutes. "".Many young women erf my acquaint-anoe-swing clubs now, and I am sure that.if girls knew the benefits to be derived: they would soon secure clubs. The limbs, are soon developed from a state of weakness and deficiency to one of strength and fullness, and the whole body feOls the change a few lessons will bring. "-—Oakland Cor. San .Francisco Chronicle.

OThe ReorwlD( of Sldrt*.

A woman in moderate circumstances always likes to be as saving 4is possible. Therefore.a bit of advice in regard to widening skirts of the paflt season-Should not. go amiss.

A skirt may be very near the fashion and yet lackiug in width for present) requirements. They being really theimost important part of a dress and the most costly, a little ingenuity and discretion work womiere.

To widen sulress of last year rip the ms to or above the kuee, according to *"vidth required, and fill in with full

med

panel* of a different material bing silk skirt-would look well with tbs made of lace edged with a tuu,|t jraid or cord. ifien, again, should the skirt be of a pinion dating beyond last season, the best metliixl for altering it would be to add a tablier. To do this the seams must be ripped all the way up, and the front breadth cut up the center and let flow back on each side. Then the side seams should be taken in at the hips and darts added. It is quite necessary, if the skirt is to be well fitting, to have die seams flow the full width of the matrnal from the hips downward. The space in front can then be filled in with a lining as foundation for the tablier.

If the skirt is for evening wear, a

prottv way would be to mount on the lininga tablier of some light material a

trifle narrower than the lining, say, about one inch at the waist and widening toward the bottom, and cover the remaining space with firmly lined rovers tapering frqm the waist on either side.

Another way would be to cut away the lowvr portion of the tablier in an ornamental line at the lower edge and fill in the space with velvet or lace covered satin. To conceal the junction of the two materials, trim with a narrow guipure and finish with ribbon bows.— New York Journal

The Sew' Doable Bed.

Fashionable physicians are responsible for a new style in beds in this city which just now are adding largely to the profits ctf -dealers in high class furniture. Like all: new fashions, the divided bed oame® from Paris by way of London. It as .acunique and clever idea. The Astcocs, .Sloanes and Vanderbilts were, it is said,..among the first to take up the divided bed in both their town and country houses.

In appearance the divided bed is just what its name implies. If it were made out of ordinary materials, it would look like a douMe bed of usual width cut in two.

The prk»ctf a divided bed is quoted by Fifth avenue furniture dealers all the way from $800 to $4,000. A bed of a price about midway between these two extremes has been recently ordered by a man whose grandfather was glad to lay his head upon a cornhusk pillow. Satinwood enters largely into the making of this regal couch. It is carved and hand painted in the Elizabethan fashion, and atcuched to the cornice at the head of the bed is a canopy of silk. In accordance "with the dictates of modern hygiene the -canopy is not attached to the framework of the divided bed.

It has long been a wish of physicians to introduce lupon hygienic grounds the divided bod. Since society has taken it up it will possibly not be long before it comes into general use. The divided bed has several distinct advantages.

It is believed, by most physicians that it acts as a safeguard against the transmission of disease germs. It insures greater advantages of ventilation. In the case of sickness or any form of illness the divided .bed considerably lessens the chance «f contagion by supplying separate pillows,—.New York Cor. Boston Advertiser.

A Ware*c tte 'Wheelwomen. Miss Margnerite Lindley, the physical culture lecturer, says that unless women are very careful .bicycle riding will not only injure their health, but spoil any grace of movement or symmetry of form of which they may be .possessed, and that corrective -exercises are needed to counteract the effects of riding. However, Miss Lindley does thoroughly believe in the wheel when it is ridden properly and when riding is supplemented with the aforesaid 'corrective exercises." These supplementary exercises are not designed to be taken at intervals during a bicycle excursion, hut. at. home. They are taken standing in proper position, with chest and abdomen in'line, or lying on the back or chest When standing, the arms are raised shonlderjiigh and extended, thereby raising the dhest. The trunk is twisted, an exercise which brings into play many of the anused muscles.

The most valuable of the corrective •exercises for bicyclists, Miss Lindley said, is taken lying on the stomacih. with the feet fixed firmly and the hands oa ,the hips. From tins nosition the head andshoulders are ri of the muscles of the back. Another valuable exorcise is taken lying on the back and extending the leg up and out from the hip. Both of these movements give exercise to the muscles which bicycling neglects.

Narrow bicycle saddles Miss Lindley declared to be the cause of half the evils resulting from wheeling. She advocated the use of a saddle adapted to the needs

results have followed from employing young women, inexperienced, as substitutes, as bad results almost uniformly follow such appointments.

The reply of a member of the board was, "I ^un opposed to employing married women when there are so many young girls waiting to get schools." Such, an attitude on the part of school boards will bring our school system speedily to disgrace. It is not often that married women wish to teach. It is not often that a married woman is as good a teacher as one more recently educated for the work, who associates with the profession more than a married woman ordinarily can, but to conduct the schools on the basis of giving employment to young girls who are waiting will bring discredit upon the schools as surely and as speedily as anything that can be done.

"I:?- •, *V..«r i:Thre® Snctmfnl Girla. Twelve years ago the Misses Stewart of Cincinnati, three young women reared in wealth, were, by business failures, thrown upon their own resources. They secured a room in a business block and established a lunchroom, where they made a specialty of home cookery, doing most of the work with their own hands. The excellence of the food soon created a demand. The little lunchroom became a success, and at the end of five years, when the great Chamber of Commerce building was put up and there was to be a large restaurant connected with it, the Misses Stewart boldly applied for it. They were backed by many business mgn, who had known thetai in their days of wealth and been impressed by their ability as business women. Their bid was accepted, the Misses Stewart assumed charge of the Olencairn lunchroom and have conducted it for the past seven y^ars.

The patronage is voy large. For-rent and services alone the yearly eaqjenses are $10,000. The prices are reasonable, yet the sisters have not only paid all'expenses, but live in comfort and are'becoming rich. They have never lost'Social position by going into business, and during their entire career havemeverlhad to borrow a dollar. In spite of their success, and the fact that from their surplus they have been able to make anany profitable investments, they have not ceased to give their personal-supervision to each department.

Summer Bodices «nd Slonm. "Fashionable dressmakers are now making the English distinction between the blouse, which we usually -call the shirt waist, and the bodice," ^writes Isabel A Mallon in The Ladies' Home Journal Both are supposed to be worn with skirts that differ from them in color and material, but the blouse is full, is draped, has a tucked or fancy front, with stiff collar and cuffs, and always suggests a rather undress get up. The bodice fits 2*6 figure, .and though it may be mad© of cotton, silk or velvet it must ilever suggest by its trimming or style of collar the tailor made or shirt effect Unlike the Mouse, itis very often sufficiently elaborate ito be worn with the richest skirt, and the trimming upon it may be ribbons, spangles, laces, feather or fur pipings and all the very open embroidery ,that imitates Irish crochet However, it is the blouse that will be given the greatest ipopularity during the coming season."

The first drawing room of the London season was a rather somber affair, as the court was still in mourning, and it was intimated that the quien would appreciate ladies appearing in slight mourning. Of cpurae all the ladies of the diplomatic corps were in court mourning so the changes were rung on the somewhat limited scale of black, white, gray and violet Ingenuity was taxed to vary these limited costumes, one of the most effective dresses being worn by the wife of the minister Hf the Netherlands. The train was of black velvet lined with, white satin, the skirt and corsage glittering with jet and graceful jetted net sleeves hanging from the shoulders.—New York Times,

Black Nightgowns Are the Latest. New York women are wearing black tulle nightgowns. The material is black tulle and is so made up as to show the soft, graceful folds that are possible only to such a delicate and diaphanous fabric.

A deep rolling oollar whioh forms a Vat the neck is edged by a frill of rich black lace and is already recognized by clever women as a most becoming ar rangement for a plump white throat Folds of tulle sweep across the front of the gown, while the material is brought up at the left side beneath the collar and caught by a wide bow of cream white gauze ribbon. From this the tulle falls straight to the bottom in folds that cling closely to the figure, the bottom itself being untrimmed.

The sleeves are put in very full, but fall only to the elbow, where they are caught in and joined to a deep fall of lace. The last touch of color is supplied by the monogram of the wearer, elaborately wrought in cream colored silk at the left of the front.

This particular ornament is considered altogether indispensable by the devotees to this latest specimen of the most choice and exclusive lingerie. Extraordinary and unusual as they may seem, black nightgowns promise soon to become the reigning fad among fashionable dames. —Chicago Tribune.

A Sermon on Hat Trimming. Some time ago a London clergyman, in the course of a sermon, thus addressed the women in the congregation: "Some of you, my friends, followers of the gentle Christ, come to worship wearing great plumes or 'ospreys' in your hats and bonnets. Do you realize that this aigret plume only grows on the bird at the' time of nesting, and that to obtain one such feather involves the cruel death not only of the beautiful white mother heron, but of the whole nestfnl of its nearly fledged offspring? What a price to pay for the pleasure of an aigret plume 1 What a travesty of religion to be able to come into church decked with an aigret feather and sing in the words of the Benedicite, 'Oh, all ye fowls of the air, bless ye the Lord, praise,him a a re S

A Mothers' Club.

An illustration of how a good work must extend itself and its influence is given by a "Round Robin" mothers' club of over 40 members in St Paul. Their work is thorough and earnest they read at home on lines mapped out by the Philadelphia center and hold most interesting weekly meetings. Now ihey have gone a step farther and aM? forming mothers' clubs throughout the eity, and next year plan a school alliance which will bring mothers and teachers together. A more important movement than this last is not often undertaken by a club, although it is the natural result at thorough work and well directed enthusiasm.—St Paul Correspondent

Tall table'decorations are coming into fashion. At a recent dinner, where the host and hostess and
