Tha Stylish Womaru
A stylish woman has a good poise.
She stands well, and she walks well,
and she carries her head well, and her
clothes take on the.-rigfrt swing. Put
the same clothes on the woman who
stands on her heels instead of on the
balls of her feet, the woman who sinks
down In her corset and by so doing
throws her abdomen outward, her hips
forward, lets her chest sink In and her
shoulders round forward, while her
back hollows below the waist line
any amount of style In the costume
worn by this woman is swallowed up
by the lack of style in the woman her
self.
The lines of a woman's gown or
cloak are altered to their ruin 'when
by incorrect carriage of her body they
are turned and twisted out of place.
The woman who Is admired for her
style In dressing looks—no matter what
the time or the occasion—as if what
she wears at that time, upon that oc
casion, had been planned with refer
ence to that time, that place and to
ber.—Good Health.
Label the Boxes.
Every household has large boxes nt
least for hats, sometimes for furs and
waists and other articles of dress and !
many small boxes for other belongings, j
In the hnnt for something almost for- ;
gotten the housekeeper often squan- 1
ders precious moments in searching
through every likely depositor}- and j
probably comes upon the object of her
quest in the last box of the selected ■
gronp.
All this waste of time nnd energy :
can be saved by the use of labels which
record the contents of each box. Some
recently noted captions of this kind !
were "Blue Velvet Hat," "J. B.'s Pan- I
ama Hat," "Small Tacks and Nails," j
"Empty Bottles," "Corks."

prived of her husband less than
111 ree weeks after she had married
him implored Krause to tell her
what he had doue with her husband,
but 'tie answer was always the
s:ime.
The Blight shaft of suspicion
which was aimed at Mrs. Chritle
when her husband was lured away
from Treadwell was due to the fact
♦ha* her name had been. linked
with that of Krause, as an "affair,"
iu which Krause was tho wooer
Hut when .Mrs. Christie appeared in
tho commissioner's court last week
a* Krause's hearing, she banished
immediately in the opinion of all
those who saw h^r, any suspicion
that in tho Krauso case she was
anything more an a good, hard
working woman who waited to
know what had become of her Iiub- ;
band, and who asked nothing but
that justice be done.

ICrause, left for Seattle Sunday,
