"GYNAMETRY,n ?

wv hat. do you ii my dress by measuring my neck?" said an Atlanta lady of fashion to the dressmaker.
 ''That is all I want,' was the reply.
 "Dear me, said the lady, chow strange" "
 'Gynametry is the name of the science, 5 said the lady with the measure. ''Tbe system Of measuring the female figure was discovered by me after years of patient study and hard work. Professors Bartlett and Battle gave the new science the name of 'gynamctry, which is made up of two Greek words that mean female measure ment The rules, however, which apply to the female figure apply with equal and absolute force to the male figure.'
 Do you mean to say you can make my dress fit by simply measuring my neck?'
 II do, if see you.''
 And if you don't see me?'
 ''Then l must know the measure of your waist, and neck, and which toe is the long est"
 ''Dear me. Why do you want to know which toe is longest?"
 If your big toe is longest your shoulders are square. If your second toe is longest your shoulders are dropped, and the waist is correspondin<ily shorter. Dropping shoulders are those that slope from the neck outWard-not stopped shoulders"
 ''Has your system any connection with the theory of twice around the wrist is once around the neck, etc.?''
 ''Not at all This is fallacy. It will not work out It is impossible to measure the human form with a tape line. You simply cannot measure the back to save your life But my system does it, and I can make a lady's dress and never see her, by simply having the measurements that I have named. .''-ANnntn COnStitntiOn
