BLUE WOOL FROCKS
A short wool dress for a girl from 10 tc
14 is < n a curious tint of blue vith x-lolme
shadings. The blouse-bodice of this it tlsi
de-tuchcd from the skirt vhloh here buttons
on the waistband tmder'u crush belt of the
cown material A noxel and ornamental
feature of the bodice is a slashing of tbe
outer blouse to show un under one of vh e
silk crossed at interx-ols by Tjlue e-ords oxer
tiny pHt buttons A white sill ; collar in
two separate * tabs , falls ox-e.r a ribbon stork
and tlee-xes. tbe eonxcntional gigot shape
Here apropos of school girts and s. ! > a
xvord Sill , is not necessarily an ertrara
gant or unsuitable texture for school v ear
If used -with discretion and combined -xritb
wool ts silk Eleexes and vote in a cash
mere tioclv , or perhaps an entire Bilk blouse
with skirt and bolero of serge. It may lit
worn by any age , though , of course , an entire
tire- silk gown vould be out ot place in tbe
schonl room
Other silk trimmings for -wool gowns
either in plain or figured WCJ.X-CK , could be
in the shnpe of narroxx bias ruffles for the
siirt. and for the bodice , n crush belt and
collar , bretelles and turn-back cuffs If the
wool gown is In a plain weave , tbe silk trim
ming Is best If showing some deblgn , plaids
figures or stripes When the gown Material
is patterned then trio trimming should con-
trap * in plainness
Oil no account should velvet or metal em
broideries ot uuy sort appear on a school
frock A nsrroxv edge of gilt braid may be
used sparingly , and also small gilt buttons
but where a smart dress-up frock is turned
ox-cr to school uses all superfluous decora
tion and finerxEhould be first removed
Otherwise there -would be the clothes jeal
ousy mentioned
And ten chanres to one little missy's fine
feathers would look exactly what tbej were ,
her old last winter's best frock , which her
mamma was ttying to make her wear out
before getting her B new one.
SMART CHEVIOT GOWNS.
A verj cocky little gown for a girl of
10 , IE made of noxelty cheviot tnd plain
scarlet cloth Black , scarlet and art green
are tbe colors of the cheviot xxhlch is In
n voolly x\eax-e tnd a tery smart effect is
made by a braiding of art green , vhlc.h. In
a Roman band , finishes all of the plain cloth
trimming Then take tbe shape of a peasant
bodice with square bretelleE over the
shoulders a cuff hand for the sleeves and a
band at the bottom of the sklrt-
This pretty model will look equally well
made up In other wool fabrics , fipured
striped or checked
Only , for anv sort of a t hecl-ed or plaid
material the square de-sign of the braiding
would nee'd to be changed to straight
rowr. us otherwise the trimming would con
flict with the gown material
Any sort of a little sleexeless Figaro
or bolero jacket will be found a dashing
addition to u simple xvool gown , and may
be made of plain cloth and trimmed with
gilt braid if liked In the way of com
binations , a plain red one xxlth a plaid frock
xvould b < - very smart , tnd if the plaid is
vary gey jet showing a blae.1 ; stripe , a
black bole-ro would be an even smarter touch
A half jard of cloth , of the usual width ,
would be ell the material required to intke
a rleevelt-Bt rigaro for a girl of in Tor silk
trimmings there are many colored remnants
to be bought very low , and more economies ,
ex' n. may be made by utilizing the fresh
portions of gronnup Bilk gowns some big
member of the family has discarded.
SAILOR MODELS.
At the children' * furnishers are seen some
very neat and Inexpinsixe little suits In
navy and fisherman's blue serge and flanne.1
These follow , in many instances , the usual
sailor model , a louse blouse with u shield
trout and u sailor collar and lull gathered
skirt Tbej are trlmmud with coarse xxoolem
braids , commonly in straight rows and L

In the way of color combination , a blue

Tbe main thing is to be sure that the lower
lobes , of the lung-E are well filled with air ,
and that one breathes from the abdomen
ATtrr one hut acquired thlE habit , the chief
thing is to breathe in as much sunshine as
posblblc. and to belhxe in the efficacy of
oxygen as a remedy for nearly all the ill
that flesh is heir to.
The following are some excellent rules
for improving the respiration and bring
ing it up to a normal condition Stand
at en open window or recline on a couch
vith the waist and chest unconflned ; bold
the chest walls high and inhale in slow ,
long breaths ; exhale as blowly. three times
only at first. Gradually the number of
times may be increased and the time length
ened for the breathing exercises , riltecn
mluutcE. twice u day at least , should be
devoted to this exercise to accomplish the
desired results. To Inhale long , deep
breaths while elowly raising the arms aboxe
the head and to exhale as slowly while
lowering them is one of the best breathing
exercises exer indented The practice of
breathing \ery deeply while walking in
the open air is recommended not only foi
the general health , but is one of the best
curcE for obesity , as the increased amount
of ox > gen greatly augments the consumption
of waste material.
Mrs Emma Eames Story , whose full and
generous outlines are beautiful examples
of the results of vocal and breathing gym
nastics , not only ik fond of outdoor life ,
of walking and bomback riling , but says
that the requirements of her art demand
continued dalls practice of tbe very exer
cises which we have- recommended for the
development of chest , back and abdomen.

honors ana receiving the diploma
after some hesitation on tbe part of
the faculty , and the title of
"Domina , " vhich. after mort hesitn-

During tbe summer
vacation preceding ber last year of
college .Miss Blackwell epent some
time in Philadelphia -ttudving in the
female xvurd of the Blockley alms-
house.Hheae the "woman doctor"
was an object of curiosity. ' Stealthy
steps would crep up and down tht
ward and stop outside her door ,
while ejes would be seen peering iu
ut her kejhoie to see what this
strange anoinalj might be up to
Tie young resident phjsicianB

custom.
Returning to this city , the at

hoxv he feared their rixalry bj asking"Do

the professors at Genexu college , where D *
Black-well graduated showed a similarly
mistaken notion of tbe rapid success which
would attend a "lady" doctor bj proposing

exclaiming. "A most extraordinary cast1 I

it was a clear case of pneumonia , with no
unusual danger , until ut latt I discovered
that his perplexity related not to the pa-
tirnt , but to the propriety of consulting
xUth a lady phjblclan. "
The lack of hospitals and dispensaries for
women practitioners here led Dr Blackxx ell
and her friends to establish the Nexx York
