Simple diet, plain living, active out d door work or walking and absence of e worry give conditions that will devel - op the best physical and moral possibil '5 ities within one. We are all prone to - exhaust nerve force over petty cares. I- We get excited if the rooms are not - prcy. rlv dusted; we put too much of ourselves into our household work; we do not want to learn to simplify; we do not always take the "forty T winks" early in the afternoon. These - are some of the causes of age, and we can avoid them just as we can learn ih to sometimes be idle and at all times be reposeful.-Housekeeper. e ~ Women in Outdoor Art. a Mrs. Charles F. Millspaugh's address it on"Women in Outdoor Art," at the St. Y Louis biennial, will be remembered by . those who were fortunate enough to :)e present at the civics session, in charge - of Mrs. Ralph Trautman. The Im LI portance of the work done by wome-n 0 in this department is meeting with a hearty, if somewhat belated, apprecia di tion from associations of architects, it! landscape gardeners and artists. The YI Municipal Art Society of New York City has lately placed women on its most important committees. Mrs. Ed ward Hagaman Hall is Chairman of - the Committee on Flowers, Vines and i- Area Planting; Miss Carmelita Beck , with is Chairman of the Committee on - Membership, and Mrs. Gabrielle Town - send Stewart is Secretary of the socie ty. Nearly every State federation has . Committee on Forestry, whose work includes civic improvement and out 1 door art. e Good Times For Perfumers. "The perfumery business was never better," said the perfume dealer the t other day. "I sell more perfume tha'n . I ever did before and I think my heavy . sales are due in a large part to the au ,tomobile craze. "You know the odor emanating fromh those gasoline autos is not pleasant. Lovely oman does her best to over come it by using lots of perfume. Just !take notice the next time an auto whizzes by you and see if you don't ~get a good, strong whit of perfume with the gasoline if there is a smartly a~ttired- on e"Women may be going in for athlet ics more than eiver, but they are going Sin for perfumes, too, and the most ex pensive kind. "It would surprise you, though, to Iknow how many men have the perfum ery habit as well. I think the new Sfancy silk handkerchiefs may have Lsomething to do with that." For Children. Guimpes are an important item In the small girl's wardrobe. White dresses are especially desira ble for children, for no other "tub" frock launders so satisfactorily. Berthas of lace and of the material, with bands of lace insertions and edg ings, are always becoming. Ribbon sashes add a pretty touch to frocks for dressy occasions, and under those of very thin, fine lawn or mull, in white, there may be worn a colored silk or lawn slip, preferably of pink or blue. eFor the small girl there is no more gcharming mode than the French dress, with a deep bertha or collar in scol loped lower outline and having an at tached full skirt. The strap or suspender dress is one of the season's most popular styles for small girls, giving the effect of the 'shirt waist and skirt. eMohair,-in plain or checked weave, is a smart and practical material for girls' dresses.. The Benefits of a Hobby. -How often does one hear the expres sion, "Oh, that is so and so's hobby," 1;poken rather disparagingly. It is the tendency of the average mind to re gard a person who has a pronounced enthusiasm as a species of harmless lunatic, rather to be pitied. The truth of the matter is, however, that any onec who has any especial fad is greatly to be envied, as it probably provides more interest and amusement for its possessor than anything else. Any de cided interest in life, whether it is dig nified by the name of an occuiation, or is simply an ':nthusiasm, or ceven ofmentioned slightingly as a fad, iz emi nently desirable. "I have never zeen a genuine colee tor that is not happy when he is al lowed by circumstances to gratify his tastes." remarked a student of human - nature, "and a bent in that direction should always be encour'aged. It is a .curious phase of our humanity that we will work diligently to make provision .for our materiail needs when we arc ;old and quite neglect to store up twi . tal resources that will interest and . iamuse us until w* aire called hacce." I, Indianapolis News. dHow Woman Can Develop Herself. iIn the Woman's Journal, Charlotte Perkins Gilman urges women to take Smore leisure for their own develop ment. She suggests the formation of neighborhood clubs. With what de finite purpose? Nothing more definite than the keeping alive of the individ ,al soul. O AS aO ~t-~ O0J~~i~s its lig might form into little groups and take certain kinds of reading together, spreading indefinitely that way. er One might suggest, as a vital sub- M ject for most women to study, "Their ex own business;" to learn, for instance, whether it is really necessary for so many more to be sick; whether it is ke; really necessary for each lonely woman on to spend her lonely life in doing house- gl4 work eighteen hours a day; whether thl husbands are best cared for and made tl happy by the present system of house- is keeping; whether, in short, united wo manhood cannot do better and more easily -vhat separate womanhood finds se so hard And does so ineffectually. J. ab Giving Away Clothes. sh There are two ways of giving away mj old things, a rioral and immoral. Those an who are guilty of the latter are the peo- ta4 I ple who use the poor as a sort of gar bage barrel, something in which to dump everything that is useless. They ne are the people who give to their wash- F. erwoman old ball frocks and soiled in, white satin slippers and things too hi ragged for any human being to make yo use of. They are the people-it seems se: incredible, but it is true-who careful- ge ly cut off all the buttons on any gar- ee ment that is to be given away, and an never think of mending anything. With efl such persons giving is not a virtue, but a convenience. They feel they can rid themselves of much rubbish and w yet ctain a reputation for charity. A ed ray of illumination on this subject was lif obtained by one woman on seeing a th busy house mother darning some old k( stockings. dt "I must get these finished," said this w] latter. "I want to send them down to ar Mrs. (mentioning a pensioner) to-day." to "You don't mean to say you darn the co stockings you give away!" exclaimed is] the visitor. se "*Why, of course, I do," was the re- in ply. "They are generally too bu'y or 1 too careless to do it themselves." pa Two Neglected Dutles. at "My top bureau drawer and my let- ru ters are the two ends of my duties that to are oftenest neglected." wrote a clev er busy woman to a long-suffering cor respondent, "the reason being, I sup pose, that they are the two things that would not turn over to any one else." One of the many excellent Victorian traditions which a more forward and careless generation is beginning to dis regard is the sacredness of correspond ence, it having always been one of the bt shibboleths of every well-born, well bred British female that 'she should th sit down at her "Davenport" directly after breakfast for an hour or so and answer her notes and letters. Victoria the Good certainly had her young wo mankind in good training, an infin- or ence which extended itself to the Ileis- C ure class of America. and it is a great C piy to see so many of the excellent precepts andl habits which used to be n an integral part of the best develop- n ment of a young woman of the better class falling into disuse. It is rather t the fashion to say nowadays that the strict conventionality of the Victorian era that kept everything within its di- so rect bounds was narrowing in the ef fets; but it is greatly to te questioned whether the "go as you please." latter day methods produce as desirable re- t sults.-Indianapolis News. d - at Skirts, while plainer in treatment,b are fuller an'd more extended than dC ever. m Figured piques are making smart little outing dresses for women who g know.

Fust across the lake. in the deep ade of the wooded cliffs beneath the zzo di Torno, lies another villa still )re steeped in the Italian garden gic. This is the Villa Pliniana, ilt in 1570 by the Count Anguissola. Piacenza, and now the property of e Trotti family, of Miilan. The-place kes its name from an intermittent ring in the court, which is supposed be the one described by Pliny in one his letters, and it is further cele ated as being the coolest villa on >mo. It lies on a small bay on the st side of the lake, and faces rth, so that, while the villas of. bbio are bathed in sunlight a deep een shade envelops it. sThe liouse inds on a narrow ledge, >a bunda ms projecting into the lali .nd its .ek built against the almost vertical soded cliff which protects it from the uthern sun. Down this cliff pours foaming mountain torrent from the il di Calore, just beneath the peak of rno, and this torrent the architect of e Villa Pliniana has captured in its scent to the lake and carried through e central apartment of the villa. rhe effect produced is unlike any ing else, even in the wonderland of rlian gardens. The two wings of the use, a plain and somewhat melan oly looking structure, are joined by open arcaded ' room, against the .ek wall of which the torrent pours wn, over stone work tremulous with ss and ferns, gushing out again be ath the balustrade of the loggia, ere it makes a great semicircle of ittering whiteness in the dark green iters of the lake. The old house Is turated with the freshness and enched with the flying spray of the ged torrent. The bare vaulted rooms verberate with it, the stone floors e green with its dampness, the air ivers with its cool iccessant rush. te contrast of this dusky dripping gia, on its perpetually shaded bay, ith the blazing, blue waters of t'he ke nd their sun-steeped western ores, is one of the most woriderful ~ects i sensation that the Italian la art has ever devised. rhe architect, not satisfied wit'h di rting a part of the torrent to cool s house, has led the rest in a fall wn the cliff immediately adjoining e villa, and has designed winding ts through the woods frcim which e may look dcwn on the bright rush the waters. On the other side of the use lies a long balustraded te-:race, tween the lake and the hanging yods, and hcre, on the .only bit of en and level ground near the house, e the old formal gardens, now much glected, but still full of a muelan oly chiarn.-From Edith Wharton's .ombard Villas," in the Century.

A Royal Athlete. Eing Carlos of Portugal has the rep ation of being a great athlete. His ill at tennis was recently demon ated when he defeated Lieutenant W.

The King so gave an exhibition of his ability a pistol shot for the entertainment his A.merican visitors, who were as dlshed with his acell of fire.. *ONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE. Sold Arch Over Three Hundred Fed Wide Spanning a Utah Canyon. Here, across a canyon measuring three hundred and thirty-five feet seven inches from wall' to wall, na ture has thrown a splendid arch of solid sandstone, sixty feet thick in the central part and forty feet wide, leav ing underneath it a clear opening 357 feet in perpendicular height. The lat eral walls of the arch rise perpendicu larly nearly to the top of the bridge, when they flare suddenly outward, giving the effect of an immense coping or cornice overhanging the main struc ture fifteen or twenty feet on each side and extending with the greatest regn larity and symmetry the whole length of the bridge. A large rounded butte at the edge of the canyon wall seems partly to obstruct the approach to the bridge at one end. Here again the curving walls of the canyon and the impossibility of bring ing the whole of the great structure into the narrow field of the camera, except from distant points of view, render the photographs unsatisfactory. But the lightness and grace of the arch is brought out by the partial view which Long obtained by climbing far up the canyon wall and at some risk crawling out on an overhanging shelf. The majestic proportions of this bridge, however, may be partly real ized by a few comparisons. Thus its height is more than twice and its span more than three times as great as those of the famous natural bridge of Vir ginia. Its buttresses are 118 feet fur ther apart than tLose of the celebrated masonry arch in the District of Colum bia, known as Cabin John Bridge, a few miles from Washington city, which has the greatest span of any masonry bridge on this continent. This bridge would overspan the Capitol at Washington and clear the top of the dome by fifty-one feet. And if the loftiest tree in the Calaveras Grove of giant sequoia in Califoriia stood in the bottom of the canyon its topmost bough would lack thirty-two feet of reaching the under side of the arch. This bridge is of white or very light sandstone, and, as in the case of the Caroline, filaments of green and or ange-tinted lichens run here and there over the mighty buttresses and along the sheltered crevices under the lofty cornice, giving warmth and color to the wonderful picture.-From W. W. Dyar's "The Colossal Bridges of Utah." in the Century. WGRDS OF WISDOM. Evil is not eliminated by a synonym. New light does not mean a new sun. Only the truthful can know the truth.

Some of the Indian'tribes of the Unai ted States still cling to their primitive forms of food. .A notable instance of this is the continued use of wokas by the Kiamath Indians. This tribe occu pies the Klamat-h reservation, which is a part of the territory originally occu pied by them before the arrival of the white men, and lies in the southern part of Oregon. The land has but a small annual rainfall, but, on account of its situation at the foot of the east ern slope of the Cascade Mountains, it is well watered with streams and con tains two considerable bodies of water. One of these, Klamath Marsh, is par ticularly rich in plants, and conse quently in animal life. Occupying about 10,000 acres of tiiis marsh there is a solid growth of the large yellow 'ater lily, Nymphaea polysepala. In the old times the seeds of this plant were collected by the Indians, and, un der the name of wokas, furnished their principal grain supply, filling the place of the corn used by some other tribes. To-day these secds are still collected and regarded by the Klamath Indians as a delicacy. The lily seeds are har vested in August; the wokas gatherer uses a dugout canoe, and poling herself around among the dense growth of stems and leaves, picks off the' full grown seed pods. Adventures of a 10O0f. Note. A lady passing down the Rue Riche lieu had the misfortune to lose a pock etbook containing among other valu ables a 1000f. note. The pocketbook was picked up by a chairmender named Renaud, who lives at Mon treux. He placed it very carefully in his pocket and proceeded home. It is not often that chairmender has occa sion to change a note for that amount, and Renaud, recognizing the impossi bility of turning it into gold without etection, agreed with a friend to do the business for the consideration of 100f. This friend, Lucien Mathern, also a chairmender, was in turn filled with apprehension. The difficulty was solved by the aid of a horticulturist named Simonnet. who kindly consent ed to buy himself a horse for 300f. and return the change. Renaud thus be came richer by 600f. All might then have gone well if, two days later, it had not been discovered .that the horse had bcen stolen from a dealer at Meaux. This led to the arrest of the trio, and later in the day the police put their hands on the horse thieves. Paris Messenger. Matrimonial Reform in Afghanistan.
