It whs nt n restaurant, of cmiree.
Bui-prlsIng how much rnltmlile copy a
newspaper writer pick up at a res
taurant The woiiiHii was dressed as
for an afternoon soelal call, though who
was nt breakfast. A heavy cold
brncelet was on one short sleeved ami.
The lingers of hoth hands displayed
valuable diamond ring. A (lulus
borough hat with long, elostly pinnies
was upon the head where a plain morn
ing hat should have been. She talked
Incessantly, nnd her voice was exe
crable, harsh, loud, throaty and nosey.
And she said "ain't" und " 'tuln't." Her
table maimers were even more ex
ecrable than her voice and her gram
mar. She had tucked her serviette
under her chin, like a slovenly old fat
man. She took u Ki'cnsy lamb chop
In her tinners, gnawed every bit of
Mesh off the bone, doglike, then sucked
It audibly and licked her Angers.
After this Inspiring performance, look
ing nt poor nie sitting opposite, she
said In her loud, grating voice: "I'm an
American. I read In a paper the other
day that lit Kurope they always know
nil American woman because she eats
meat with her lingers. I'm an Amer
ican. I take, my meat In my lingers,"
She did not need to tell mo thai! I
saw It with my own disgusted eyes,
lint In my mind I did object streiiiiniiR

tured her traveling In Kurope spec

dress, ber bad grammar and vile man

at home and forced to use some of
tbelr wealth In learning to acquire an
agreeable speaking voice, correct Eng
lish and tbe uianuers current among
well bred people.

A woman wbo evidently prides her
self on ber gentility sends to a lead
ing newspaper a wail about the Impos
sibility of getting domestic "servants'
any more. Despairingly she asks tbe
editor, "What can we do about Itr

be good for your health. It will de
stroy the morbid foolishness that Is

men. It It
The reason many women declare they
cannot take long walks may be found
often In one word shoes. Hardly any
exercise so makes for health and hand
someness as walking, yet how many
women affirm It Is Impossible for them
to walk more than half a dozen blocks.
If you look at the feet of such women,
tu niue cases out of ten you will find
them wearing shoes with stilted French
heels nud sharp pointed toes. Besides
that, tbe shoes themselves will be two
sizes too small. Now, does It pay for
a woman to deprive herself of the
power of walking, also of good looks
and joyous, health, Just to squeeze her
feet Into an undersized shoe whose
shape Is only fit for Indoor wear?

Are you grieving yourself III, eating ,
your heart out over some trouble that
has come upon you? Ah, what's the

We really are coming back to nature

One day Ernest ('lieltimix, a man
who cared for other people than Just
himself, was going through a great
French factory in which hundreds of
girls were employed, lie overheard
numbers of them humming sua telle:', of
Utile songs to themselves while they
worked. An Inspiration came to M.
Chebrotix. Why could not the factory
girls of France bu organized Into
singing societies, develop their voices
and learn the best music? lie started
n movement In that direction. Now
there are choral unions of factory girls
in many parts of France, and the
music they make is worth going far to
bear. s
Why do uot American girls In coun
try neighborhoods start such singing
classes among themselves? Once freed
from lis noslnes and throatlnes there
is no nobler singing voice anywhere
than the American. There Is scarcely
an American girl, either, that cannot
learn to slug well If she sets her head
to It. In every neighborhood Is some
woman who can play piano accompani
ments anil some one who can net as
leader, keeping time and showing the
class how to open the mouth nnd emit
the sound clearly at the tip of the
tongue mid Hps. Two hours' practice
once a week would In time develop
good singers, (iooil music has u fimr
velously iinlll'tlng power. From sim
ple ballads the singers would naturally
lie led to more classical music Every
country neighborhood contains many
good singers,
A Girls' Debating Club.
Women now speak In public almost
ns frequently as men. There Is need,
therefore, for every country girl to
lea in how to stand up gracefully mid
express herself easily and readily in an
audience, even If (lie audience consist
only of her own girl friends. A girls'
neighborhood debating club will Im
prove its members In general Intelli
gence and fluency and elegance of ex
pression almost more than any other
agency. A president, secretary and
critic are nil the olllcers needed in the
debating club. A small book or par
liamentary usage can tie had cheaply
as a guide to the correct conduct of
meetings. Then let every girl read n
good newspaper regularly to find out
what Is going on In the world. It Is
better to discuss In the club questions
of general public Interest. Under no
circumstances should n debater be al
lowed to read her speech. Notes may
be referred to, but that Is all.

erattire will make one remember sncb
literature much better than to read It
alone. Let the time be divided, say,
between poetry and history. Take
Tennyson's "Idylls of the King," for
Instance. Let a member of tbe club
read from It half an hour. Then let
fifteen minutes be devoted to such
matters as tbe history of King Ar
thur's time and facts about Tennyson's
life. Members should be specially ap
pointed at each meeting to officiate at
the next one. There should always be
a critic to look after tbe speakers'
grammar, pronunciation and enuncia
tion as well as attitude and gestures.
In like manner at each meeting three
quarters of an hour may be given to
history.

Physleal Culture.
Every girl and woman should have
limber muscles and a straight back
and should carry ber head and chest
persistently up. For chest develop
ment nothing la so good as constant
deep breathing. In getting limber
muscles more progress can be made
by a number of girls exercising to
gether than by eacb alone, and of the
winter Improvement classes one may
well be devoted to physical culture.
There ore plenty of cheap books that
give all necessary instructions. One
of the best ways to become graceful
and healthful Is to Join a iedestrlan
club that insists on Its members walk
ing In exactly the right way, cbest held
steadily up, arms swinging free, toes
turned slightly outward. During such
wnlks the clothing must be loose nnd

would make more and better bread
than she ever made
before.
