- GIRLS IN BUSINESS.
Lady Rhondda, a woman who has always been ahead of her times, makes a plea for fathers to train their daughters in the waye of business and to take them into partnership.

"There should be more signs reading, John Brown and Daugh- ters instead of Jobs Brown and Sons.'

There is no surer Index of the state of one's general health than the condition of the hair; In fact, the hair is often termed the barometer of health, and as the deep-breathing exer- cises improve the general health, so the hair takes on a deeper, richer gloss
ACQUIRING THE HABIT,
Deep breathing, once the habit has been acquired, can be practised anywhere-walking, on the top of a bus, sitting in e- garden, practically everywhere.. But first it should bo studiod in the morning before an open window, using the arms to help in taking and holding the breath methodica ly
