SOME REAR VIEWS.
Lovely Woman As Gazed Criti-

THE BACK AS A SOCIAL STUDY.
Comment and Gossip ON Necks and Shoulders
Curves, Dimples and the Poetry
of Motion.

New YORK, Jan 16.-TSpecial correspond
ence of THE HERALD. There are no more
gracious curves in a womans body than
those which start from the nape of the
neck. There is an artist in New York, in
whose pictures almost invariably appears a
female figure so posed as to bring out some
one of these charming lines. He turns his
models back to him and sketches with only
glimpse Of face, just where the curve of
cheek breaks to the fullness of chin, or he
puts world Of coquetry into glances
which one must fancy accompanied by bird
like chirpings over the shoulder. He de-
clear-moulded, fine reserve of fugitive
nymph, but always he starts with the back
of the neck, and the rest comes as it may.
The back of the neck is not only beauti-
full, it is healthily beautiful. There is
tender grace In its lines, but there Is even
more of earnestness and aspiration as it
rises, bearing modestly or bearing proudly
the venturesome head that lifts itself so
boldly, quite into the clouds Of thought in
these latter days.
And still if rhyme must run away with
reason there is matter enough for senti-
mentalism. A woman's skin is nowhere
more delicate than between and just above
the shoulder blades. Under the sharp,
Swallowed btaliance of artificial light the
tint is like that Of pearl white satin flushed
with a faint rosy glow. Sometimes it is
like living marble in its ineness of graia
and exquisite definition. Often it retains
its girlish freshness and smoothness and
fairness long after the brow is lined and
the hands with sadness have learned to
leok old. It has some hint of the secre,
of eternal youth that escapes the lips and
the eyes, Now and then you meet a woman
who has dfnpled shoulders, and no matter
how lovely her fate you wish her ever to
turn her back on you. H'this same woman
has up under her hair deepening Of the
tones of the skin to ripe brown that is
full colored and yet creamy, then is she
from the back view, If soft little natural
tendrlls come down and curl themselves
over 1t, altogether irresistible.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-01-18

The study of backs teaches the artist
that one of the worst features of present
costume is the fashion Of long bodices or
Louis XIII coats made separate from the
skirts, which divide the figure with cross
line below the hips, detracting from the
height and giving the look of turnspit
dog-all back and no legs. This bad effect
of the coat is, of course, more apparent
when skirts are short, and this is an ad-
ditional reason why our street gowns lie
on the snow. A woman with broad
back should never wear sash all around
and indeed lines traversing the middle of
the back are to almost any figure unbecom-
ing. A stout woman should avoid the fine
plaits in which dressmakers are just
at present so fond of laying the
backs of bodices. If she wishes
to give herself good figure but
! would not wear dark colors altogether, let
her get an evening dress of dark velvet and
some light delicate stuff, as crepe de chine,
Let her have her bodice of the filmsier ma
terial, but the side pieces behind the arms
be of velvet and be cut so as to come to-
gether in a long point in the middle of the
back at and below the waist line. Let her
bodice be edged about the bottom with vel
vet and this will merge it with the velvet
skirt and make her hips look small as jan
uary, 1891, so earnestly commands.
Finally let her not throw her body so far
back that the spine is bent like bow.
This makes generation of hideous, hollow
backed women, with protruding abdomens.
Let her rather poise her weight forward
over the balls Of the feet and get the longer
| gentler back curves that are beautiful

gressmen promise to be more numerous
than ever before. Simpson is by no means
the only illiterate statesman in Kansas and
l heard last night the story of an incident
which occurred when Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge, of England, was in this country.
Coleridge was perfect Chesterfield as re-
CARDS manners. He was a man of great
ability, and wide learning and he knew the
classics as well as he did the English. Dur
ing his tour through the west he stopped at
Topeka and was given dinner at the eX
pense of the state. The feast was an ele-
CANT one and all of the great men from
miles around were invited to it to honor the
lord chief justice His honor had the gov
ernor on one side of him at the table and
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the state on the
other side. AS the party sat down the
menu cards had already been laid beside
their plates. These cards were very fine,
They cost twenty-five dollars apiece and
they bore at their heads the coat of arms
of Kansas upon which was engraved the
motto, ''dd dstra per aSperd."
AS Chief Justice Coleridge sat down he
took up this card and looking at the motto,
said to the man on his left, every good in
deed and very appropriated
| What's good?" asked the lieutenant gov
ernor.
II refer to these words,'' said Judge Col
eridge as he pointed to the motto.
sYes,' replied the lieutenant-governor
with knowing look as though he were
giving important information, them words
is Latin.''

Justice but he must have thought a great
deal. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

Beardless Soldiers.

Moo I'm warriors generally wear hair on
their frontispieces. 1t is thought to give
them martial appearance. But Alexan-
der's invincible soldiers we're all bare
faced. He compelled them to shave for a
sufficient reason, viz. lest the Outside
barbarians" of Asia should seize them by
their boards, and so capture them. If the
emperor of China had been equally wise
he would have locked the long tails of his
soldiery before he sent them out to fight
French and English. Hundreds of the
Celestials were caught by their queues
when running away and dragged as prison
ers into the camp of the allies.-New York
Ledger.
