The new custom, which is to be intro

possible by the great improvements
that have been made in the manufac-

was convinced that it would wn favor

to garntures for dresses. "Garnitures

Our Right Hand.

The habit of using the right hand in
preference to the left among those peo-
pie whose mon ments date from the
remotest antiquity appears to be uni
versal fact, and this is accounted for by
the anatomical mechanism of the human
body. 1t is known that the right lung,
liver lobe and limbs exceed in size
those of the left side, involving, OF
course, a greater amount of ssue
structure and larger supply o. nerves
and blood tissues for their nutrition.
\ person walking in a d nse fog fig
ures with his feet the segment of cir
Gle, and, if he is right-handed, he takes
n direction to the left, because the right
leg naturally takes a longer stri e.
The left side Of the brain is larger than
the right, and, as it appears that the
power of verbal articulation in the
right hand is confined to cer-
tain convolution on the left side, the
conclusion is arrived at that, in speak
ing and thinking the left side OF the
brain is used, this being the result of
dextral education. The opinion has
also been expressed by some medical
writer's that amnesia aod aphasia in
right-lIanded men indicate disease of

This has been a week of great mas
querade balls, notwithstanding that
Lent Is supposed to have stopped the
dancing of the town. Two of the
masked affairs were too wicked as to
Their people and doings to be affected
by any religious considerat on, but the
third and largest was the annual lolli-
tication of the Arion Society, a Ger.
man organi2at on wing with the Lie
derkranz IN solid membership and a
gorgeous c,ub-ho so. The readers
must not jump at the conclusion that a
masquerade can vie d no valuable mat
ter for n fashion article. 1t is true
that the costumes are largely grotesJuc,
and altogether picturesque, but the
latter quality is q desirable one in the
ried too far. Nowhere can better sug-
gestions be obtained than from the
fancy dresses of such an occasion, pro-
ded the examples found there are
W sely modified, and adapted to the
quieter purposes of a lady's every day
attire. Here is q drawing of one of
the rigs which | saw at tho Arion ball.

arms, for it disclosed no sleeves or

securely tue. ed into the bodice. The
pulled skirts were more like revival
of the Dolly Warden whim than any
thing else. Now, from such hetero-

or who poses as religionist, when, i'll

who know his inner life know what a

relations of society, there is kind OF
hypocrisy the practice of which does
more good than harm.
For instance, you go home from the
