This Time to Avoid Charge ot Playing favorites.)! have been de voting my time alnce Christ mas to trying to Iind out if the Uovernor-tilect is to name a staff of colonels to support his dignity during his term of otllce. Up to the hour of writing I am unable to dis cover any definite Information on thla point. Do not ascribe this to any lack of diligence on my pari, for I have tried hard. But the Governor-tlett has been too busy with his Christmas cele bration at home, and has not yet aufficlently recovered from the effects of the fare well reception tendered him to give me an audience. lie was up until :30 p. m. on the evening of the reception, and that is going some for the Governor-Elect. Adjutant General Apparent Phelps is very ciose-iuouthed on the matter. He haa named HOLIDAYS AT CAPITAL Washington Correspond ents Bnay with War seare. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Deo. 2 (Held L'p by a Hangover Not Bo Worse.) The unfortunates who were marooned at the capital this week have done pretty , well under the circum stances. They found a very ample supply of such things as are needed under the cir cumstances, and really don't care much If congress never comes back. Its a cinch at that, that some of them can't "come back." , We have been trying to work up . a little war scare down here. 1 don't know whether It's for the benefit of the steel truet or the powder trust, but It looks to me as If somebody wanted to get a real nice con tract to furnish Uncle Sam with a lot of guns snd pistols and swords and powder and ball, and to provide a few more commlsxtons for some folks who's like to be In the army and don't feel like en listing. I'm not In favor of It myself, but of course I want to string along with the rest of ths gang. So, hurrah for the war, and a couple of bansals! A pretty big grtet of stuff st the pie-counter works Is the colonels who will support his office, and that's as far carea to go. state that in several the stats are hearts still for suupreaed apprehension which fain would being held up Just beat tumuiluoualy beneath the agullettea and other doodada that decorate a colonel's bosom In time of peace. Many ot these brave boys fought and bled on the aide of the Water Wagon and are willing to make a still further Bacrtflce. Some of the older colonels of .the service are Inclined to the idea that no glittering re tinue of gilt-bedlsened strut ters will follow In the wake of the Governor-Elect when he cornea to be Inaugurated. If such a splendid array is to be provided the announcement will have to be made very soon, for, unless the tip lias been privately handed out. the colonels that may be will have scant lime to provide them selves with the panoply of martial glory, essential to the occasion. When this great question Is settled, then we may take up some of the other matters that are likely to engross the at tention of the o ernor-Elect during the next few weeks. In the meantime the Water Wagon Is making its regular trips. Ih-E. the riood gates will likely be opened right after the New Year is properly Installed.

It Is through the avenue of sight that most Impressions reach our brain, and when we lose It we are "shut In the dark," cut off from our fellows by a deprivation of which only ths totally blind can understand the magni tude. Our eyes are all Important to us, and should be guarded more carefully than the most precious Jewels that ever came Into mortal possession. Yet how often we see girls doing their best to ruin their eyes. They have often heard that reading In trains and omni buses Is one of the worst things that they can do, but one cannot take the shortest Journey without noticing that about four women out of every ten are trying their eyes by poring over some paper of novel ette, which Is Jerked aside every pther moment by the Jar or vibration of the car. Apart from the constant movement and consequent change of focus for the eyes, the light Is often very bad, and the head aches of which so many girls complain are frequently due to eye strain from this cause, and to nothing else. It Is not while they are stilt In ths twen ties that they are most likely to suffer for their Indiscretion, but wait awhlls, and nature will be revenged, says Home Notes. For every hour they have misused their eyes, thoBe faithful servants of theirs that did their bidding for years so uncomplain ingly, they will pay a heavy toll, and the "falling sight" that Is so often the trouble of middle life will hamper their useful ness and spoil their pleasure.

Blue as a background for walls Is to be avoided in all but large room where heavy furniture Is used. In any quantity blue, unless In Its lightest shades, has the unfortunate effect of absorbing light, and for that reason must bo selected with discretion. A paper with whit ground, covered with large, conventional figures In outline rather than solid, Is effective and at the same time sufficiently light to be suitable for a email or medium sized room. Whether or not a border I used depends upon the height of the celling. There should be a bare floor, even If It Is necessary to paint the boards. Should this be neoesBary, a mahogany or nondescript brown will be most desirable. Red cannot be used and a painted floor which Is light wilt always look cold. A the wall ar figured, the window hanglnga should be plain, blue and white being combined by using two Beta, one ot each color. A small ball fringe around the edge add te the attractiveness. Over these, on a aeparate small rod, hang a get of linen, the same shade of blue as appears In the wall. A blue ball fringe might be put around the white curtains and a flat white fancy linen band at the edge of the blue. Exercise Waist Muscles to Keep Strong However successful stays may be In giv ing a woman the correct figure now, she must make provision for the future, for If she is stout and flesh is compressed under strong stays she later may find that the compression may cause muscles and cords to lose their natural elasticity and power to hold the weight of flesh, and should this happen a woman would rue the day when fashion changes, as It al ways does, and another shape Is required for her gowns. To obviate suob possibility exercising a litii-. without stays will do no harm, and perhaps may do a great deal of good In that it will keep the body In muscular condition, and the more the muscles are able to do what Is required of them the better. It stands to reason that If they are never used, and much of the time are compressed under tight stays, they will grow flabby, and with a woman of middle age once this happens it Is almost Impossible to over come. Ten minutes given In the morning to muscular work, before putting on stays, is certainly worth trying. An excellent movement Is to try to bend from th waist, going low, whll keeping the knees straight. Under no circumstances ar th knees to bend, for then there is no work done by the hips. Bending over front, back and sldewlse is limbering. Any woman who ha seen skirt dancing will understand that the beautiful posing of the dancer is done entirely from the waist line, and the flexibility of muscles there enables the dancer to be graceful, and at the same time It keeps her slender. All so-called "kicking" of professional Krt dancers 1 don from th hip. Women, untrained in physical cultur do not begin to work th muscle and cord at out their hip and waist a rnucti as they should, and In that faot lies th cause of Increasingly Isrgs figures as middle ag cornea on.
