A London journalist, in long article

counterbalance the absence of qualities
more appropriate to their sex. They

Perfect Female Form.

Nothing is more truly artistic than
the simply outlined oval of the perfect
female form, writes May Root Kern in
an illustrated article on "rhe Artistic
Side of Dress Reform" in the July
Ladies' Home journal. 1t is but slight.
ly depressed at The waist, the hips are
as wide as the shoulders, there is not an
angle from top 10 toe. 1t is as different
from the outline of the fashionable
"well-set-up" woman with her square
shoulders and angular hips as horse
is from camel. We call the high-Delted
Empire dresses artistic because they
preserve this oval better than the long
WASTED shapes.
The nude figure has no belt line.
When the weight rests equally upon the.
feet, and the body is held upright, the
smallest measurement of the waist is
about where the modern belt is placed.
But let the body bend to one side, and
the point of intersection of the hip and
side muscles will be over an inch above
II ;Jrmer belt line. This is why field
laUOrers, even TO the slendcrest young
girl, are short waisted.' For hygienic
reasons the belt should never be placed
below this point, and byIthus shorten
| ing the straight under-arm seam by an
| inch, the beauty Of the uncorseted waist
is materially aided.

ments from the must unlikely people.
They never keep their girls waiting
when appointments are made, never
get sulky, never squabble and never
yawn, nor do they ever find their mas
culine pursuits so enhancing as to
cause them to growl if asked to forego
them on any particular occasion.
And the girls of fiction have
always "a musical laugh and
a thrilling trainante voice. which is
never hOarse from cold or sore throat.
Their very crying is different to that of
their unhappy sisters of actual life.
When they weep they look lovelier.
their noses never get swollen, nor their
exquisite eyes red. Oh. no; their eyes
under such circumstances are like Vio-
lets dipped in dewp They can ALWAYS
and instantaneously brush away the
traces of tears, and not let their sweet
tones show the slightest lachrymose
inflictiOn. Moreover, even when their
whole frame is shaken with conclusive
s0bs,' these fortunate girls can instantly
conceal all traces of emotion if dis
turbed by any intrusion"
The essayst further observed that
''nOvelistS never let their girls lose their
back hair i'll crowded thoroughfare, or
get their umbrellas blown inside out, or
have their hats blown off on a windy
day in muddy street just in front of
tram car. These experiences are quite
unknown to the girls of fiction. Nor

Altogether 1t would seem as though

not surprising, considering how sur
passingly lovely and amiable she is in
almost every instance.

The wise girl knows that nothing is
quite so desirable for wear i'll the sleep
ing car as wrapper Of dark colored
flannel. 1t may be stated as a positive
fact that women who try to make them
selves look coquetdsh liz a sleeping car,
anu wear elaborate negliges or lace
trimmed wrappers, show extremely bad
taste, writes Ruth AshmOre III a sea-
sOnable article oil 1.-The Art of Travel

journal. Experience has taught that
wrapper Of soft flannel in stripes OF
black and blue, made in the simplest
fashion, is most useful, When she
is ready to 90 to bed, and the
porter arranges her berth for her,
she goes TO the tOilet-roOm taking with
her her shawl-strapped package. She
removes her shoes and stockings, puts
on the knitted slippers that she has
taken out Of her bag, removes any gar
m3nts which she pleases, and assuming
her wrapper. which has been folded in
her shawl strap, repairs to her berth.
After fastening the buttons Of the cur
talns, she dsposes of her clothing as
best she can, folding each article
smoothly ana carefully, and placing her
money, watch and tickets in her wrap
per pocket. And then she should try 10
rest-the porter will call her in good
season, and her ticket will not be asked
for during tie night. In her shawl

have her own pillow if She desires it. But
this is not necessity, as the cars are
supplied with linen that is usually

treats of the agencies by which changes

She Saved the License.

Buffalo Courier. RI
One should not be TOO confident and
precIpitate IN affairs of the heart.
James Mccarthy, of Norfolk, has
learned this bitter lesson. Last Friday
he purchased of the town clerk a
license TO marry a certain lovely
widow on whom his favors fell. ri
With the parchment in his vest pocket
he presented himself before the widow,
and for the first time asked her to be
his cherished bride; and in the
certainty or her answer he showed her
the precious license. The proposal was
50 sudden and the swain SO sure that
the widow was nettled and refused him
with considerable emphasis.
Mr.. Mccarthy was dazed for mo-
ment, and then, realizing his dis
cOmfiture, he dashed the license to the
floor, danced breakdown on 1t and
left the house. The next day, says the
local chronicier, the economical widow
took the license back to the town
clerk and requested him to hold it
until the right man wanted her.

Since so much sterling silver and

nal. A perfectly safe substance for
cleaning this metal Will always be found
in French whiting. For all ordinary
purposes such whiting, wet with water,
is all that is necessary; but if the silver
is very much discolored it should be wet
with alcohol. This will give brilliant
polish. 1t is important that the ma
terials used 10 clean silver should be
perfectly free from any gritty sub
stance. The whiting should be sifted
through hair sieve or piece of muslin,
