Many girls make the mistake of

coat too largo for the wearer is sure to

To broaden the shoulders, extend the
arms straight out and, keeping them
so, sway the hands backward and

The habit of breathing deeply once
acquired is sure to make all the dif

the narrow figure, for It not only Im

to sit and stand erect, and both of
these habits are absolutely necessary
to good health and a clear complex

with every aid of gymnasium and

Speaking of French Jewolry, there are
many shops in Paris that deal only in
artificial gems, and the designs attempt

marvelous. In fact, the woman Ib yet

she might be the Jiappy possessor of a
gold tiara set with glass stones, or a
necklace on the same order. The won
derful results are made by using the
precious metals themselves, only the
stones being false.

Superfluous Hair
CURIOUS-When superfluous hairs are
removed by electricity the oure is per
manent but It is necessarily, though not
extremely painful. If performed by a
competent, surgeon no trace of tho
operation should be left and the skin
should be smooth, not pitted. Tho num
ber of treatments required depends upon
the thickness and frequency of the
hairs.
To remove warts, mix one grain of

the condition will soon be relieved.
Enlarging the Eyes.
