1t can hardly be matter of regret that
Vassar College has entered on its decedence.

What Constitutes Full Dress-Gymuastfc

Jenny June writes as follows regarding
low bodices:
Some heated discussions have taken place
of late in regard to what constitutes "ful"
dress, 1t is undoubtedly true that the Gus
tom of wearing low bodices is extending,
and increasing in direction that is least de-
sirable, viz among young girls. Now
there is no particular harm In the wearing
Of low. decently-cut bodices. Forty or fifty
years ago children and young women wore
them, universally; but there is harm in the

Old hartford.

On entering the High street of Dart
ford our attention is first drawn to an
inn famous in the coaching days. The
Bull Inn still preserves its antique
architectural character, and is a
worthy example of past coachfulness
and present coachlessness." In ante
railway days the courtyard, with it's
quaint wooden balcony surrounding
it, often presented a busy scene: and
the hustle and excitement caused by
the daily arrival and departure of
seventy coaches formed strong con-
trast with It's present peaceful charac-
ter. 1t was at the Bull Inn that George
~. was grossly insulted while changing
horses, by a working currier, who,
thrusting his shaggy head into the
carriage window and looking the King
in the face, roared out: s.You are
murderer in allusion to his recent
treatment of Queen Caroline. Dirt

HAIRPINS.
A New Form of Luxury by the Inventive
Lady of the Period.

A New Form of Luxury by the Inventive
Lady of the Period.
She has taken to display her hair
pins. Those very humble instruments
of dress have hitherto been remarka-
bic for their modesty. They were lost
without sigh and recovered without
gratitude. But the word has gone
forth that hairpins are to be displayed.
In these days nothing is secret, and it
Is thought sign of good taste to dis
play the means by which the heavy
plaits are held together. Invisible pins
may be used for the curled fringe
which falls over the brow, but in other
portions of the head hairpins must
be shown. OF course, nobody
would think of showing with ostenta-
ton mere piece of bent black wire,
so gilt hairpins are already-in fashion.
Gold hairpins are coming in. Jeweled
hairpins will soon be the rage. This is
the newest development of our civiliza-
ton. WhereuntO it will lead one can
hardly say. 1t ought to lead to marital
protest. For the one place in the
world where gold and silver and
precious stones are not secure is on the
head. At present, indeed, the insecu-
rity is remarkable, for the very dam
sells who now display their wealth on
their head had formerly locked their
locks, so that the new extravaganza is
used TO connect false hair with short
curlS.-N. y. Herald.
