why there are so many tall girls
nowadays, and why the tendency of the
generation is towards unusual height
and gracious slimness, are questions
which engage che attention of Charles
Dudley Warner in the Editors Drawer
OF Harper'S Magazine for November.
After disposing of several theories
which have been advanced, he thus
sums up his conclusions: women are
tall and becoming tall simply because
1t IS the fashion, and that statement
never needs nor is capable of any ex-
PLANTATION. Awhile ago 1t was the fash
ION to be petite and arch; it is now the
fashion to be tall and gracious, and
nothing more can be said about it. OF
course the reader, who is usually in
clined to find the facetiouS side of any
grave topic, has already thought OF the
application of the selt-denying hymn,
that man wants but little here below,
and wants that little long; but this may
he only passing sigh of the period.
The Drawer is far from expressing any
preference tor tall women over short
women. There are creative moods of
the fancy when each seems the better.

One of the most mysterious of all the
diseases to which humanity is liable is
the tumOr, and one of the most dreadful
Is that particular form of tumOr known
as the cancer. Concerning these abnor-
NAL growths there is still very much to
be learned by even the most accom-
pliShed scientists, but careful and pa
tlent research has brought to light a
very considerable amount of knowledge
which is of infinite value in connection
with their treatment. A popular and
practical paper on THE Treatment of
Cancers and Other TumorS" has recent
~ been prepared by two eminent phySi-
clans, Drs. b. Farquhar Quits and Will
lam L. Bull, and will be published in
the November number of Harper's
Magazine. III e object of the paper is
TO make clear not only what is known
ABOUT tumOrs, but what is not known,
and thus, by leading to an appreciation
OF the difficulty of making our knowl-
edge OF them complete, emphasize the
lmp0! tance of prompt and intelligent
medical treatment.
