There la no blessing In the world to equal good health. You may be worth a million dollare, but If you have a weak heart, or Indigestion, or a lame back, you cannot be perfectly happy. But if you are all allre from head to toe with glorioua health, you can soar to untold heights of bliss And all thla preamble, my girls, leada to this advice: "Above all things cultivate) health." If ynu have to choose between a dance In a close, overheated room and lata hours, and a good walk In the brisk air and sen albla hours, choose the latter, for the sake of your health and complexion. Don't think that I am urging you .to give up all dances, aa dancing In aeason Is good, healthy exercise. But some of you go to three or four dances a week through the wholo winter aeason, and no working girl can do that and keep her health. If you were only going to live through the dancing age, I might aay, "Go ahead I Dance every night; use all your vitality In that exercise." But most of you, I hope, will live long Uvea of usefulness and the best part of life comes after the dancing age tha time when you will be wives and mothers, hoping to build up the nation. Bo you aee, dears, tha moat Important thing for you to do la to keep yourselves healthy. Get plenty of sjeep. If you are obliged to rise early, make up by going to bed early. Nothing ao quickly destroys health and good looka aa lack of sleep. Have fresh air In your Bleeping rooms, and in the days of your youth avoid strong tea and coffee and, needless tn aay, spirit uous liquors. St. Louie Heiress 1st a Tamper. Women, as a class, tare very badly at tha hands of Miss Mary Fuller-ton, helreaa of the Fullerton millions and St. Louis' wealthiest girl. ' "I cannot endure them. They are such liars," ahe as, In a newspaper Interview. This criticism of her sisters appltea to women aa a class and not aa Individuals, and the class aha refera to are the society women. "Maybe they do not lie maliciously, but they have just gotten the habit in society. Tou can't depend upon a word they say. Maybe It is diplomacy, and tact, but It looks to trie like a surrender of Independence and Individ uarity. "Individually women are adorable. I have some of the best frlonda In the world, but the average women you meet are ner vous, excitable and Insincere. No, I can't see that the fad for athletics has made them less nervous, only more restless. "I can't understand big, atrong men not being able to get employment when there are so many shining examples of the weaker sex who axe supporting themselves. I have no patience with a man who can not make money. "This 1s just my own opinion, a matter of personal taste. That'a why I don't like New York. The men there are an Idle, useless lot, living off their inheritance. In St. Louis there are fewer of that leisure class. "I wouldn't marry a poor man. Tha American heiresses who marry titled for eigners, that class who just go over and buy a man." Words were insufficient to express and certainly to describe the look of contempt which came over her face. "Well, they deserve what they get," aha continued. "Understand me, I don't dis like foreigners. I rather like Englishmen, but I think American men compare most favorably with them. At Uaat they are good enough for me." Am Adinlcu Eden. Long Island Is to have an "Adamlesa Eden." Mme. Davldoff, a native of Rus sia, but now a resident of New Tork City.

Whatever the skirt trimming may be. It is adjusted to emphasise the long lines of the frock, and In the long skirted street gowns, as In the house and evening gowns, diagonal arrange ments of aklrt trimming often find place. One of th. pret tiest street cos tumes displayed by the mannequins at the lower Broad way opening waa a Doucet model In white cloth trim med In soutache.

A "aood seller" Is usu ally a bad paper and should be avoided, and In selecting from a decorator's sam ple books It Is well to pay little attention to th. season's "novelties," as soma of the old standard patterns are usually more' aristocratic. Th. treatment of floors Is simple enough, but requires patience; the appli cation of ready-made varnish stain on any kind of floor Is not real treatment. An old floor, even of soft wood, may easily be renovated. The old coating should be re moved by softening with a good solvent ap plied with a paint brush and scraping with a putty knife. When It is reasonably clean wipe with a cloth saturated with benzine or naphtha. When quite dry color with a prepared stain and finish with two coats of beeawax, welt rubbed in with a weighted brush.

The proposition to expend $130,000 for the erection of a city hall at Geneva, N. T was recently defeated by a vote of 7v3 to 6, aald to be the largest number of votes ever cant at a special election In the town. The votes against the measure were cast largely by women who aaveaa their nn that the city had already spent IJO.00O for a site and 2.0W) for plana without their Mrs. W. B. Wilson of Kentucky won the contest of the National Food Magazine, the subject of her essay being "Lemons " Sho showed that thla fruit has twenty uses. Among the uses named was to make tough meat tender, to clean brass with the rind to Improve the flavor of tea, to cure headache, for tooth wash, to make kernels of rice whiter and others that are well known. One of the pleasant memories of young men who have graduated at West Point is of the late Susan Warner, whose sister, Miss Anna Warner, has recently given Constitution Island to the academy. She Is described by one of them as having looked like a picture from Godey's Lady's Book, a sweet, frail woman, who made life very pleasant for the boys who had the good luck to make her acquaintance. Miss Marie McKenna, only daughter of E. W. McKenna, second vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, yesterday volunteered her services for re lief work among the glass workers of Al ton, 111. She applied to the Providence so ciety of Alton for a list of families in straits through casualties In the glass works of the town and expressed a de termination of devoting the next few years to relief work. A banner bearing the words "Votes for Women" haa recently been set up on the highest peak In the state of Waahlngton by the Misses Kangley, formerly of Colo, rado. By leaving Paradise valley, where they had been camping, early In the morn ing, accompanied by only one guide, they were able to reach the top of Mount Ranler before night. There, In a driving snowrtorm. they set up the banner on alpln stocks and after taking several pho tographs of It folded It up again and took It back to camp with them. They intend to set Up the aame banner another year In the crater. should be seen to be appreciated, for the texture of the material and the perfection of detail escape us In a sketch. The handling of the sleeve and bodice are especially good, the lines of fine sou tache with their little loop and button ends being so d'sposed as to hide the armholo entirely and give the Impression of a bodice and sleeve cut In one. This effect with Its consequent length of shoulder line is considered particularly chic, and In this Instance the long shoulder line Is accen tuated by a continuous Una of fine all white cord embroidery which ruraj from gulmpe to cuff down the outside of the arm. Similar embroidery bands border the gulmpe and trim the bodice front. Soutache trimming corresponding with that on the bodice ornaments the side of the skirt and a diagonal band of the cord embroidery and soutache runs In a Inns; diagonal line across the clinging skirt front. The Jumper, like so many of the daintiest gulmpes In the handsome French models, Is an absolutely simple one of the tucked net, with a high collar and frill of the same net The only note of color In the frock Is In a soft girdle of smoky gray satim. Tho directoire eoat which completes this cos tume will be readily understood from our sketch, but It has a number of excellent details. Almost all the coats are long, many of them on the redtngote order, but a few short coat models from authoritative makers were shown at this opening, notably one of which we spoke last week, a black broadcloth with empire skirt and a eoat reaching only to the short waist line In the back, but with a patent leather belt set on the bottom edge of the coat so that the effect In the back was that of a belted one piece frock. In the front, however, the coat, fronts fell over the belt In two long, wide tabs reaching almost to the bottom of the spirt. These tabs or panels were braided and there were braided panels to correspond on the sides and back of the skirt. Some very handsome street suit models were made up in Ottoman silk, this heavy corded material being particularly smart when rather severely tailored on very chic lines and worn with handsome furs. Bernard has a niOBt successful modet in taupe Ottoman, fastening douole-breast-'d across the bust with big cabechons and cords, while from a point Just below the bust line the fronts are cut away a little and fall straight, leaving an opening of perhaps four or five Inches. In thla open ir appear the long fringed ends of a girdle of black liberty, and the collar and cuffs of the coat are of black liberty, while a walbtcoat showing above the coat collar is of gray brocade with a cravct of lace. And apropos of Benard, the most amaz ingly smart street coat ahown at this open ing was one of his models a long coat of redlngote type in siivery gray broadcloth of moat exqulaite texture. Ptrhapa we can beat give an idea of this coat by saying that the whole back of the coat and backs of the aleevea were cut in one, the fronts of the coat and fronts of the sleeves ditto. Consequently there was a continuous seam from the collar down the shoulder and tho outside of the arm to the cuff, but there waa no armhole. The coat waa loose fitting, having seams only under the arms, yet was drawn some what cloaaly round the body ao that it clung softly and demanded tne absolutely flat back that is a part of the modish figure. The front crosaed to th. left and fastened with big buttons, aa will be seen i t Banff' Fits kUL, . mi .

Long, straight coats, suggesting Louis XIII rather than the directoire, acoompa nled by long elaborate waistcoats of em broidered silk or brocade, were among the handsome models, and there were some very successful combinations of cloth and satin, cloth and ottoman, eta.

A new fancy noticed on one of the most expensive broadtail coats this fall Is an outline of black silk. The seams are overlapping, and each is bound with the silk. Not only hats but whols gowns are being made of heavy moire silk, and very lovely they are, for while the silk Is thick it is remarkably supple, and may be draped in graceful lines. According to a fashion oracle, an eve ning gown nowadays is all aklrt and waist band. Many of the cloaks are made of the aame material aa the gown. The effect Is very harmonious, though rather expensive. There are striped cloths and SDotted cloths and velveta, together with a mod ern version of bandana silk, carried through in adorable yellow tones, shading from tlio deepest orange to a delicate canary. Liberty satin ia used even for evening clonlis thla season. One In this material notlcud recently is in a dark, rich green with heavy silver embroidery. It hus a collar of silver fox snd Is lined with white satin and plaited green chiffon. A very dainty decollete gown is of ac eordlan plaited chiffon in Greek style. The foundation skirt haa a deep hem of white liberty satin. The overskirt is in tumo eflect, eduod with silver lace, and there is a silver lace girdle. Tiny satin buttons placed close together all the way down the front and back in double rows, are a feature of a princess gown. The material is soft liberty satin in canard blue, and the' buttons are of the same shade.

Countless millions of grasshoppers have invaded all parts of Maine this year, doing much damage to crops of all kinds. But one man, Orrln Woodbury, philosopher and nature man, of Tei.ple, has discovered a way to beat the "hoppers" at their own game. Like St. John, who ate locust and wild honey, Mr. Woodbury, who once lived on a milk diet seven years to chang-e his body and cleanse It, lives for the nonce on "hopper fry." This delectable dish, ex clusively enjoyed by Mr. Woodbury, is pre pared, according to the Kennebec Journal, about aa follows: Some large bed sheets are spread on the grass, and soon they are covered with "hoppers" of all sizes and kinds. A hasty gathering up of the cloths always results In a goodly supply of Juicy grasshoppers, which are kPled by paasing them through a flame that also removes their wings and legs. Then Woodbury pre pares a rich and creamy batter, in which he dumps the torsos of the defunct "hop pers." Soon arises an odor from the frying pan that even doubting Thomases admit la pleasing.
