will venture to say that there is not
a single French woman who pays any
attention to dress at all who has not
Ia perfectly distinct idea of what she
can wear and what she cannot. She
knows what are her good points and
! what are her poor ones, and how to
| bring the good ones into relief and
skllfully conceal the Others And even
when she is uncompromisingly plain,
she audaciously makes the most Of her
plalnness, and becomes what is called
a belle laide. 1t was this kind of a

all remember "the most becoming dress

woman would aLalyze that dress, ask
herself why it was becoming; was it the

AS an Illustration of this, once saw
an artistic little French dressmaker
take an odd, ungainly looking girl,
with no figure nor color. and out of her
very oddness create charm. For ma

stuff, dull green, but a green with
more blue than yellow in it, the only
KIND brunettes can wear. She fairly
made the dress on the girl, draping it

figure, and softening it against the face

A certain John Scott once proposed to
a Miss Alleged. While smarting from
her disdain, he happened to enter a
village church during divine service.
and there, for the first time, he saw the
pretty Miss Surtees. He wooed her,
and, as her father would have nothing
to say to him, he induced her to elope,
and this though three wealthy suitors
were already at her feet. John Scott

proposal to Miss Millbanke, and this
time received a very f1attering accept

very unhappily. One of the most per-

| Many Modes of Preparing Milk.
Milk contains all the elements that
are required to sustain life, writes Ellis
abeth Robinson Scovil in a valuable
article on Life in the Invalid's Room,''
in the Ladies' Home Journal IT is
usually the chief article Of diet when
solid food is prohibited.
There are many ways of preparing
it, and these have three ends in view,
to render it. more palatable, more dig
estible and more nutritious. After 1iy-
ing upon milk alone for a few days
many invalids become exceedingly tired
