DREB8INO FOR THE REST CURB.
"On njy arrival I was riven a nice flat
pair of shoes Just my srle. The heels
were mere blta of leather one lift on
each heel. Tour arch Is pretty well
broken down' said tha physical culture
teacner. 'and we want you to develop It
as much as possible. Tour toes are cramp-
ed and you have bunions. These shoes
are big and soft and flat and they will
give your feet a chance to grow well and
straight and strong. For a few days your
arch will pain you dreadfully. It Is
broken down but these shoes win give
your foot a chance to grow normal aajaln.
The arch will strengthen Itself If you do
not Injure It with high heels.'
"Ala for pride and pump. The new
shoes 'were sevens and my foot looked
like a pie 'though It did feel delightfully
comfortaMe. It waa like going barefooted
with the foot protected on the sole. I al-
most cried the day I had to put on nar-
row hoots and high heels again.
"As for corsets they were not tabooed
by any means but I was directed to let
out my lacings until they hung In long
loops. My gown would not button but
I was riven a one-piece shirt waist suit
which buttoned looeelv all the way down
the back while It escaped the ground by
at least four Inches all the way around.
Oh dear what a blow to pride Just to
look in the glass. I had no mirror ex-
cept a little face mirror but once or twice
I got a glimpse of myse:f In the brook
and I wanted to cry. I think my family
would have had hysterics If they could
have seen me.

NO CLOCKS IN THE REST CVRE.

the neTves are rested there Is no notice
taken of time There Is all the time In
the world so they tell you. and there Is
no need of wanting to know the hour.
The woman who takes the nerve cure

Bleeping was one of the things dealt
out to ua rather sparingly. We were al-
lowed to sleep nine hours a night with
no naps. Thla may seem long enough
but It was far too short for our tired

THE INCOME OP TEINITY.
Hcvenrje From Disgraceful and Un
healthy Tenements.
(Charles Kdward Russell In the July
Every body 5a.)
Trinity rhurch is the holder of one of
th greatest estates In New Tork or In
the --ountry. It owns In the city property
worth according to different estimators
from l39.i-iU0.O0t) to 1100000.000. from which
It draws an enormous revenue the
amount of which Is never made public
For many years no investigator has been
able to obtain any more definite know-
ledge of these matters than that this Is
the wealth ol Trinity which she hi. Id
for good purposes. How comes it that
o:i the East bide of New Tork have been
built In recent years bright clean fire-
proof and sanitary flats. In such n um-
bers that ertsln regions have been
transformed by them and life for those
that dwell in them has been changed
from direst misery to something almost
B.iggeslive of decency while Trinity haa
done nothing of the kind?
How roms it that the Astor est ate.
owner of hundreds of tenements has pur-
sued for yeuis one settled policy o( im-
provement for the benefit of the tenants
and the Trinity tenants have been left
to shift for themselves? The Astor estate
maintains no charities; It has no mis-
sions no honpttals. no beds and no Sun-
day school excursions; yet I am perfectly
certain that the balance of actual good In
the world is In Its favor; 1 am perfectly
certain that to obliterate one court that
breeds uiten ulosi la better than to pnd
170000 a year on organ music and that
to pro v id- a tenement with fire escapes
Is better than to preach a sermon of re-
mote and K-'nteel theology: The manage-
ment of ti e Astor tenements indicates
what even a small measure of civilization
can do In the midst of barbarous condi-
tions. th management of the Trinity
tenement-) rhows what callotis neglect can
do to further and aggravate barbarous
rondlt Ions
To be sure all tenement houses are
bad 1 k now that: all tenement houses
are terrific Indictments of the conditions
of grab and gain and splendor and shame
that we tolerate.
And If the tenement speaking general-
ly. sorks ill. Trinity's tenements must he
a matter of grave concern to us all.
Trinity's tenements must work more than

branches sent out over
ments and war not told to remember
anything In fact; we were In ignorance
uf i he how but. at the right time a
rosy faced attendant appeared and beck-
oru l to us. It waa our duty to follow. We
were 'ushered into the danoe ball shown
Into the cardan to work In the fresh soil
r ied afield to walk. Other days ws wore
conducted to die swimming baths and
told to put on bathing suits and disport
for an hour or so. Tha Idea was that
e must gat In perfect physical condi-
tion "The oldXawbloned reat curea. wkere
people elspt for two weeks were weaken-
ing After sleeping and resting reading
and eating for two weeks the patient
came forth feeling relaxed to be sore but
vary weak. There was no snapplneas In
the muscles. It took days and days to
lulld up again. The wobbly feeling hung
to the knees for a week )ust from laoi
of exercise and there waa a pallor to the
complexion. But In the new rest cures
the patient takes physical exercise so
that she comes borne with an appetite
that can enjoy coarse food and narvae
that can stand the weariness of the sum-
mer season.
HINTS FOR THE REST CURB.
"Sleeping In the open la of course one
of the requirements of the rest cure. The
sleeping rooms are all on the roof and
over each bed there Is an apology for a
roof In the shape of a canvas canopy
which lr supposed to keep off tha rain. It
would have shocked the folks at home If
they could have seen the rain beat around
the sides of the open air beds. The pillows
were of pine and the oomforters were
stuffed with lavender oatnlp. green mint
and sweet grasses. They were so sweet
as to be aulte narootlo in themselves.
"The reat oure patients were given a lit-
tle time for reflection but their books
were all of the outdoor type. The nature
fakirs were all to be found In the circu
lating library and the patients while
resting oould read wonderful tales of out-
door life In the woods and over the high
hllla The books were carefully scrutin-
ised by the head of the Institution and
no problem novels were admitted nor
those that would tax the emotions. A
child might have read the books offered
to the pupils of this nerve reat school.
"The rest cure patients are given les-
sons In relaxation. One of the hours la
devoted to stretching and yawning. The
patient lifts the arms and simultaneously
opens the mouth. A deep yawn helps lq
the relaxation schema
"It has been discovered that relaxation
stretching yawning and the like rest the
nerves and that It Is Impossible to think
while one is yawning In this manner. So
the patient is made to yawn for fifteen
minutes at a time. It does worlds of good
to the nerves.
"The body Is not negleoted during tha
prooess of perfect rest for each day tha
skin Is pinked. Wu Ting Fang took the
treatment In a Turkish bath In New
Tork. A light thin warm spray Is turned
upon the body and tbe skin Is waked up
by It. At the rest cure there was a
curtosly arranged needle spray out of
which lukewarm water always spouted.
And In this pleasant warmth the patient
was Invited to go and stand. The skin
became thoroughly awake and the entire
flesh of the body grew pink. The face
specially benefited by this treatment for
It woke up and tingled and the complexion
grew rosy. The peasant girl who baa a
pink skin Is made pinker by her daily
Journey at 4 o'clock In the morning Ocw.
But the woman at the rest cure can take
the dally warm spray to pink her flesh.
It answers the nurDose lust as well.
"The modern rest cure alms to rest tha
nerves. They argue that the body never
gits too tired. The tired feeling Is due
to the Jaded nerves. Rest your nerves
and your body will feel rested.
"The rest cure patient comes home
humbled In spirit but pretty in body. She
has rested her nerves worn sensible
clothing that was practically no clothing
at all. She has let her brain lie fallow
and her wits have lam dormant. She
has a fine complexion a slender graceful
figure and she feels rested. She Is better
than though she had spent two months
at a fashionable summer resort."
