some part of it below the waist line.
"A bodice, properly speaking, extends
from the waist line to the arms: it does
not include sleeves and frequently does
not include armhOles. The prettiest
basques are those which have merely
circular addition to round waist.
but those with continuous breadths ex-
tending below the waist line are again
in favor. The part below the waist is
made full. A wide-hipped woman must
avoid this effect. 1t really does seem
as If woman will not keep away from
that trying horizontal across the hips.
No beauty is added to the slender fig
rre by cutting it thus in half. and q
stout one Is made unspeakable. For
how short time were women content
TO wear round waists and confine circu-
lar trimming to the space from foot to
knee on the skirt! Already we are
putting bands or frills about the hips,
or making skirts to our waists and &C,
comprising the usually fatal line in
that way. When will fashion adopt for
her motto, Let well enough alone?"
Alas! That is easily answered. Never.
In the initial illustration is shown
effectively the prettiest of these two
methods of adOrnment. Here the skirt
OF lavender crepe is trimmed about the
bottom with rutfles each four and one
half inches wide. These stick out perk-
lily and add nicely to the pretty flare
the skirt already has. The ruffies are
practically repeated at the shoulders,
and the waist is further ornamented by
a broad Empire lace girdle, and yoke
sof the same. The balloon sleeves have
q long lace cuff, and sash is worn with
long ends hanging.
The second and third illustrations
are alike in one respect, which is that
they show the early developments
which point toward the return of the

ALExIUs COLUMBUS where his grand
father had settled after his immigra-
ton from France. Alexius' father,
Peter, was shipbuilder, and Alexius
followed the same occupation, at first
in Canada and later in Buffalo. For
many years he also conducted a farm,
and most of the old mans time is de-
voted to gardening. Although lO4
years old he is remarkably well-pre-
served, and appears strong enough to
round out another decad.

GOVERNOR BolES governor In 1859,
when he was the only successful
Democrat on the State ticket. His
plurality was then $3.50. His plu-
rality in 1891 was increased to 8.2l6.
The village OF Aurora, near Buffalo,
was the birthplace of the governor,
and Dec. I, 1927, was the date. His
father, who had been private SOL
dier in the war of 1872, was still q
farmer, and the life of the future
governor in his boyhood, was like the
life of most farmers sons of the time
full of hard work and deprivations..
Nevertheless he managed to get as
good an education as the schools and
academy of Aurora afforded. and
when he was 25 years of age was adj
mitted to the bar, practicing in thu
courts of the county for the next fifteen
years. He was member of the leg
islature in 1858. In 1867 Mr.. Boies
removed to Iowa, settling at Water
loo, where he practiced law and in
vested money in farming lands. He
owns farm of 2,64O acres in Grundy
county, about 30 miles from Water.
loo, and another of 1000 acres in
PalO Alto. He Is u very successful
farmer and Is interested in stock
raising on an extensive scale. Mr..
Boies has been a widower for a num-
Der of years His family consists Of

does the wider hips Of women. The

How They Told Them Anart.

"In a country hotel where had stopped for
supper" said traveller to a New York Sun
man, II saw on the table some boiled
eggs. AS reached for them the waitress
said:
"'Do you like them hard or soft boiledY
"'Soft,' said.
The soft boiled are in the other dish,
said the waitress. .....-
Then, as 1 looked the other way on the
table, saw another dish of eggs. But thew
looked precisely like those in the first dish,
and wondered how anybody could tell them
apart If they should ever get mixed up AS
long as they were kept at the ends Of the
table where they were first placed it would be
very simple; but suppose some polite guest
should say to his neighbor:
viii you have the eggsf'
And suppose the man should saw Yes
thank you and take them, and suppose one
dish should in this way work along the table
until it was alongside the other; or for that
matter suppose the dishes should change
places, as they might easily do, who could tell
then which was hard and which soft? l found
myself rather amused by this idea and |
asked the waitress how they could tell which
was which.
Why the soft hoiled are in the square
dish and the hard boiled are in the oval dish
Then / stopped talking for quite spell
for 1t seemed clear to me that was in some
things not an intellectual giant"
