According to recent statements, the average
American girl to-day is one inch larger around
the hips and bust than was the average girl
10 years ago. She is also larger around the
waist, and better developed in every way.
This Improvement is attributed to the fact
that exercise, particularly outdoor exercise,
is so much more in vogue than it was, and
that good health is priced more, and consid-
cred more beautiful than sickly, pallid deli
cacy.
Again, girls, instead of eating chalk and
arsenic to improve their compilations, using
bellsdonna to brighton their eyes. and lacing
so tightly that stays could only be brought
together with the help of bedpost and
button hook, brighten their eyes and clesr
their skin by means Of regular diet, careful

tight stays. Worth, the greatest dressmaker,

It is well known that large sizes in women's
shoes are more in demand than the very small
ones, but this might be due as much to an in
crease in common sense as to an increase in the

up prettily in any other colors To wear with
the here-in- aforementioned black skirt, a
black waist with a little blouse front of gay
silk would be pretty. Sometimes it is most
pleasing to face the jacket revers with the same
color as the jacket itself; this is particularly
true when the front is Of plain silk. How
ever, when it is of striped, lowered, or change
able material, it gives good effect to face the
revers with silk or velvet of one of the shades.
The third waist can be made up of silk or chit
fon, and worn with dark skirt, or it is a simple
fashion for an entire froek. 1t is a shrred
waist with ribbons and bows outlining the sew
eral rows. The two upper rows can be left off
entirely, making it slightly low-necked. The
sleeves are easily made and are tied with rib
bon. This style is also useful for making

actual size of the foot. While girls delight Ia
narrow, high-heeled, pointed shoes for house
and evening wear, they have no use for them
on long walks or while playing tennis but
choose, instead, long, low-heeled shoe or boot
that will give them perfect case and freedom.

dealers say that the demand for the smaller
sizes in gloves is increasing, while the larger
sizes are rarely wanted, which might indicate
that the hands are decreasing in size.

The slippers with two narrow straps crossing
over the instep are more worn now than any
other style. They are mostly made up in the
suede leather in evening shades. In gray they
are particularly demurs and pretty.

Very scant ruff1es are used for trimming
dress skirts. When they are made of ribbon,
as they frequently are, the effect is very pretty
as they do not require heading, and seem but

A pretty costume is described as being of
cloth, "turtle-dove COLOR" combined with
"real peach-pink" chiffon. Between the soft
surplice folds of the waist was fullness of the
chiffon. The sleeves were two puffs with a ffill
of the goods and an under frill of the chiffon.
The long-trained skirt was made Of the cloth
with no trimming save q little braiding around
its hem Of the same soft brown as its own
color. This braiding outlined the surplice
folds and the bands of the sleeves and .

One of the many space saving schemes that
spring up every day is TO have large boxes
made and mounted on wheels that they may
be easily rolled about. They are low enough
to be slipped under the bed, and are generally
used to hold clothing not In immediate use,
but are available for other purposes, of course.

Black sashes of velvet or silk are worn with
the plaid waists and the dark-blus or black
skirts They are a necessary addition, too,
giving piquant finish to the costume mora
artistic than any colored belt or sash.

Photographs nowadays are disposed of in
different ways. The album still holds its own,
but there are besides bags and boxes, cases and
frames, innumerable. First, there are the
heart-shaped silver or rhinestone frames, that
are particularly pretty for picture for ones

of forget-me-nots or daisies are pleasing frames
baby face framed round with daisies is especi-
ally so. series of panels 151 inches high by
inches wide. each holding two pictures, is made
by first taking eight pieces of cardboard of the
given dimensic--s, and either rounding them at
the top, or cutting them off square. Four of these
pieces have openings five and one half inches
one way by three and one-haf the other, with
space two and a half inches wide between the
upper and lower openings. To cover these,
first cover one side entirely, and then cut the
silk at the openings and fold it back, gluing it
down neatly. These are the front panels. The
back panels are easily covered in the same way,
except that no openings have to be bothered
with.
Then glue the fronts and backs together,
gluing them along the sides, across the cross
pieces between the upper and lower openings,
and across the top and bottom except for a slit
wide enough to allow the photograph to be
easily slipped in. The four panels can be put
together with ribbon hinges. whose ends have
been glued in at the sides, or with ribbons
used in about the same way, except that they
are tied in little bows, or q strip of ribbon or

The braid is put around the waist in girdle-

This style also would be pretty in red silk
with gold braid.

are faced back with green velvet and the silk
blouse-front worn with it is also of green.

a very artistic little costume. 1t can be made

Soft, heavy white silk is the material used for
the bridal gown here shown. 1t is made up in
style particularly becoming to o slender
figure. The plain skirt and heavy train fall
in straight folds. A full ruffie caught occa-
sionally with flowers finishes the bottom of the
skirt but does not extend around the train.
The waist, fitted in the back, is made in front
of folds sewed in with the shoulder and side
seams and drawn around on one side to make q
close.ftting girdle. On the other side the folds
are simply drawn down under the girdle. A
sash with knotted ends and short loops is fas-
tened at the side. In the front is tucker of
tulle, closely gathered to q standing band
around the neck. This tucker might be of
chiffon. The sleeves have short puffs and long,
close fitting underseeves. Where the puff
ends band and bow Of ribbon is fastened. A
frill around the waist falls over the gloved
hands. long vail of tulle falls down over the
train and around the figure.
So.

loops for hat trimmings is shown in the head

and back of this together an opening must
be left at the top, SO that the picture can be
slipped in. These frames are pretty in lowered
silk, or can be made of crepe or some soft ma
terial. with small bunch Of flowers fastened
to the lower rim, right under the opening.

down the entire length. In any case the space
between the panels must be wide enough to
allow them to be folded together. Another
way to make this is to take the cardboard
backs, lay them on the silk with sufficiently
wide space between them to accomplish the
same result as the hinges. Face this space
with piece of the silk. The silk must be
fastened over the top and bottom of each panel
and at the outer edges of the two end ones.
The fronts are covered in the same way as
above described and are fastened to the backs.
1t takes wide piece of silk to allow all four
panels to be fastened to it as thus described,
but it is a neat method.

Embroidered linen used this way makes dainty
frame, and a pretty one had bachelors but
tonsn embroidered with silk in the bluest of
blues.
That economical plan of having several
waists to wear with a dark skirt is one that
has other than its economical beauties to
recommend it. The skirt itself should be of
some quiet color, and well made. Black particu-
larly requires careful fitting. OF the three
waists shown, the first is pretty for dark silk. In
black, with silver or gilt braid trimmings, it
would make very dressy costume with plain
black skirt. In 8 story in one of the maya
zines the girl-the observation-disclosures a gown
of "shmmery. goden.brown silk" made with
soft folds in the waist and q long skirt. 1t was
belted in with narrow silver girdle. This
suggests very pretty effect for brown silk
waist to be worn with dark brown cloth
skirt Made as shown in this picture with a
fine. patterned, rather narrow silver braid, it
would make gown pretty enough for any
"sweetheart." To make it, the lining is fitted
carefully, boned, and fastened down the front
with hooks and eyes.
So
The silk is gathered in fine little folds into
the shoulder seams, and the fronts are crossed
in surplce fashion. The full sleeves arc very
much like the ordinary two-pufed sleeves,
except there are fine gathers put along the
side seams, as we'll as ct the top. Tho bands
are of the braid. The under part Of the sleeve
can be made plain, like the lining, while the
upper part, with its folds and bands. is made

MEN AND THEIR WIVES.
The Striking Contrast Sometimes Seen
 Between Them.

The Striking Contrast Sometimes Seen
 Between Them.
 What a contrast there is in the gen. eral appearance of some men and their wives Some of them lcok as if they had made mistake and gobblcd up a woman that ought to have been some other mans wife, and some wonen-a good many women-lool like victims of some kind of a mistake. It is not un- common, says the Chicago Herald, to see women dressed with all respect to the latest designs sent out by Worth or Felix, while the husband seems grate- full that he has enough money left to buy even ''misfts.'' This attracts no particular attention, but ones heart will get to aching for the little pallid- faced and meek-lool1ing woman who wears plush cloak and alapaca dress, while the husband is radiant in fresh new suits, tan-colored gloves, silk hat and red rose in buttonhole. 1 spent an hour in with the pale-faced woman and radiant husband yesterday. It was in steam car. There were four chil- dren with them, the oldest about six years. The wife had on, in addition to the plush cloak, rusty black hat and gray veil. The children were dressed beautifully. How they loved her! One little fellow came back to kiss her about twice in five minutes. It was ''Oh, mamma, isn't that lovely?" and ''How long will it be before we are there, mamma?" and Are you glad we are going?" and "Dear mamma" She gave them some fruit. They would not eat it until mamma had bite" The father was radiant, and dignifed and grand. He never got kiss, nor a ''bite," nor a glance from those four children. He paid their fare and looked out of the window. He had his fine clothes, but the mother was rich in all the love that could fill little hearts.
