The skirt is white, but the ruf- and the lace edging them are decid- yw. Then there is a polonalss, 0 r tunic, of white nainsook, which may have insertions of the Valenciennes lace about its flowing edges, or may not. If it does not the tunic appears to be a part of the underskirt—that is, it is fas tened to the top of the ruffled skirt, and the ruffles come out from it like foam. The tunic meets at the waist and fis pointed in front—that s, meets in a point, so that the yoke and shoulders are cov- ered with these little ruffles, and tae collar is of lace and nainsook. The ruf- fles usually fall over the tops of the sleeves, which are made of row upon row of insertions of nainsook and lace. The’ result is & diaphanous dream of a gown. The time consumed in making it will never show, and a modiste will have to charge a good round sum to fet adequate ympensation for her work.

Usually & person treads on the ball of his foot in taking each step. This is very tiresome and wearying, as it throws the entire suspended weight of the body on the muscles of the legs and feet. In walk- ing or climbing stairs the right method is to seek for the most equal distribution possible of the body's weight. In walking upstairs the feet should be placed squarely down on each step, heel and all, and then the work should be per- formed slowly and deliberately. In this way there is no strain upon any particu- lar muscle, but each one is doing its duty in a natural manner. Climbing stairs in this manner is an ex- cellent form of exercise for the lower limbs, and, provided the chest is thrown well back and the climber does not get into the habit of bending half double when ascending stairs, is excellent for the lungs and heart. The latter is excited to a more rapid action and the lungs get full play. Tile doctor is in the habit of prescribing systematic stair-climbing for all his pa- tlents who are syffering from dyspepsia or lung trouble, ‘and says that many a case of inciplent consumption has been cured by the patient having to climb stairs. —_—_—— A clever clothes closet for a woman is built of wood. One side left open to ad- mit air from window, and the other side has two full-length mirrors on the inside of the two doors. The closet is placed before a window, allowing light and air to enter the side, which Is covered either with netting or cheesecloth, both prevent- ing moths and dust from entering the closet. Cords and pulleys are so arranged that the window sash may be raised or Jowered at will, allowing garments inside %o be thoroughly alred. The skirts hang upon wire frames. In the top of the closet close to t nter is a telescopic rod, on which 8 t may be hung and pulled out into the room for brushing.

Such a man rece had a clothes case made to order. E lor furnished the proper measurements of all of his clothing to the cabinet-maker who con= structe it. This case had to be long enough to con= tain his winter coat, if he should lake a notion to keep it in a sliding section, and other com re made to At other articles. There was no deep drawer everything was a _sliding shelf, with Just -enough room for one article, and partitioned off to fit. The shirt siide had three partitions, so that they could not help lying in order. This allowed cf tha shirts being drawn out one at a time. The slides were all shallow, about threa inches deep. There were special places for each arti cle_of underwear, cuffs, collars, neckties and hose, and jewel boXes and toilet ar- ticle compartments. There was a big front board, which opened down like the 1d of a desk and formed a shelf, on which things could be laid and sorted out preparatory to being placed in their proper receptacley
