MATTERS FEMININE.

DONT'S FOR MAIDENS. Don't marry a widower—remember his other wife. Don't marry a musician—he might read your notes. Don't marry a polished man—he might reflect too much. Don't marry a photographer—he is a negative creature. Don't marry a melancholy man — his sighs will be unbearable. Don't marry a loud man—it's a poor exhibition of sound sense. Don't marry an artist—you can't expect him to be a model husband. IE YOU WOULD LOOK PRETTY. Don't tight-lace; it will make your nose red. Don't fret and cry about trifles; it will wrinkle and spoil your eyes. Don't frown; it, twists and linos the mouth and makes it full of corners. Don't eat in a violent hurry; for this is also among the causes of red extremities. Don't dry jour hands and face roughly and quickly—or your «k:n will be coarse and "rhippy" in appliance. Don't sleep with closed window:and read between the blankets:

may be cosy and *'romfy" to do jJicf things, but also it is the royal ron«': to an unshapely figure and si mudd; skin. Don't lounge about the house when other girls are enjoying wa!k? and athletic exercises, or there will quickly come a time when comparisons will be odious—to you. But, above all. don't neglect all the laws of health and hygiene and think that you can make np for your folly by using drugs and tonics.

The back can be cm with the stripe in a straight line, 01 put slightly on the slant of goods tt» form a V down centre back. An insertion laro trims it. The pretty frilli-i^

BABY'S CRY. Our entrance int-i the world is ushered in by a cry. Thi; is necessary in order th«t :«ir may cn>r the lungs, and wlten l»a'iy docs not assert himself in tl.\s way it is tlu duty of the nurse to slap him on the buttocks until he does. A Healthy Cry.
