THE END.
Is Your Back Pretty?

A woman who has evidently given
the subject much thought says: The
fashion of wearing frocks with the
bodices laced in the back is growing
more and more popular, despite its in-
convenience to the woman who has no
maid TO do it up and to undo it for her.
Like nearly every thing else which is
put forward as n novelty, this is in
reality only a revival. 1t is style
which has REQUIRED from time TO time,
and in fact has never wholly disap-
peared from the fashions, since the
perfection of fitting, only attainable in
this way. has kept it in more or less
favor always for court and evening
gowns. Just now it is enjoying wide
popularity, which confines it to no par
ticular occasion or fabric, aud allows it
to women of any age. provided they
possess the requisite of well-shaped
back. For those not happily endowed
in this respect the style is most unfor-
tunate, only serving to attract atten-
ton to and accentuate their defects.
Speaking of the back, it is notable
fact there is nearly as much expression
there as In the face. You can divine
woman's disposition from the curve
of her shoulders, the poise of her head.
and the turn of her waist. l heard q
woman admonish her dressmaker once
to make the back of her costume per-
feet, no matter what faults might APP
pear elsewhere, because. IF ones back
fits well and looks right you are sure
to leave an agreeable impression as you
move away from people. They will re-
member that Mrs. So-and-So had on a
beautiful setting frock."
This is sound argument in favor of
expanding the best taste aud skill On
the backs of ones bodices. SO, dear
girls and women, if your figure will
stand frocks done up behind" don't
be betrayed into the folly of having
buttoned or hooked. The effect of
these fastenings is abominable, though
/ grant they're trifle easier to mani
puIate. The lace is the thing!-a
small, strong, round silken cord and
tiny eyelets beautifully embroidered.
If you haven't got maid, mother,
or sister, or some obliging woman at
hand, heaven only knows how you'll
get into that frock! But as to getting

The Sultan has issued a decree pro-

departing from Turkish tradition and
from the precepts of the Koran.
The head master OF large school

american girl of good parentage, liv-
ing in the cities, is, at the age of
sixteen or seventeen, taller than her
mother, with larger waist, better
! physical development and more ''stay-

exercises. He attributes the improve

door games and walking excursions.
The Empress Carlotta, widow Of the

with her recoyery-the very day, in

her husband, was bitten by mad dog.
The betrayal OF MaXimilian happened

girl became feversh, and in her deirious
state called out that the dragon flies were
dashing about before her eyes. Her parents,

and invoked the assistance Of certain priest
supposed TO be endowed with supernatural
powers direct from heaven, and able 10 drive
away all evil spirits. For given sum he was
willing To subdue the genii of the dragon flies.
He came with his followers, his musical in
struments and his pictures of gods. Three
days and nights he banged away at his gongs
and drums, calling upon every deity In the
Pantheon, while his assistants disturbed a
whole block OF neighbors with their Shrek

ghosts of the dragon flies still pursued her.
The parents were i'm despair: the priest was
at his wits end. and SpurTed on his followers
TO make greater cXertOns and noise.

that were bothering her, that he had caught
them and was going To burn them He then
applied the paper dragon flies to the highland

Meanwhile the priest packed up his in
