the drsss may be cut higher In the bask,
or straight across instead of being curved.
On the other hand, If the neck is the
prsttier, make the limo lower. If there
are two dimples just below the nape of
the neck don't miss them for anything.
If your arms can stand 1t let them be
bare all the way. But remember you
will spoil all the carefully planned effect
If you bstray poverty of points by dis
playing q pair of scrawny arms that are
all points. An arm may be slender, but
1t must be well formed. The girl who has
a good chest Is likely to have well shaped
head. This is because her bone formation
is probably all right, and she lacks only
the generous covering that the hssh OF
few years will bring. Let the hair be
dressed simply. If the beauty of line In
the head Is over the top from ear to ear,
draw the hair close at the sides. Over and
over, I remind you, study yourself, and
not the fashions.
Bodicss are now made in such widely di
verse fashion and with such varied combi-
nations of materials and trimmings that 1t
requires some little judgment to select the
style most becoming to the figure. For
middle aged ladies the exaggerated frills
and wide sleeves which look merely fash
ionable on young figures have startling
effect; but there is always a happy me-
dium, and very small fiat sleeve and
plain bodice looks hopelessly old fashioned
and dowdy. Banded waists are not be-
coming to matronly figures, but q compro-
mise can be affected by carrying the
basque to about one and half to about
two inches below the waist line, and fin
ishing 1t with folds of the contrasting ma
terial, or with fat bands of gimp or other
trimming. Revers are becoming whether
the figure is full or fat; but for large
one they should be deep only over the
ly, and put on without fullness, except
Just over the arms. FLoRRrTK.

GOOD NEWS.
The announcement that the President
has called an extra session of congress on
August will be very welcome to all who
have been watching the course of events
and fearing that irremedisble mischief
would be done before confidence could be
restored. Of course congress cannot make
US all rich and happy. It cannot prevent
the operation of natural laws, and 1t can
not legislate away the evils of speculation
and over-trading. But it can do much to
restore the confidence of the people of this
country and the confidence of the people
of other countries in our monetary sys-
tenn. This having bsen done q new start
can be made and the structure which has
been 60 violently .haksn down can be
built up again by enterprise and hard
work.
1t is expected that when congress does
come together it's members will be ready to
act. The events of the last three months
have been very impressive and have made
it plain that this country made big and q
dangerous mistake when 1t made laws
to help other countries get its gold. Those
who have thought that all that was need-
ed for prosperity was enough silver have
been much surprised to see the situation
growing worse with the increase in the
amount of silver money. They all ought
to be convinced by this time that the gold
bugs are at least no more dangerous than
the silver bugs.

THE FLEETING SHOW.
Some OF Its Facts and Fancies.
Written for the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.l
HER PERvERsITY


HER PERvERsITY.
Really, the perversity of Woman is quite
too utterly beyond human comprehension.
She has always bsen inoonsequ an IL
logical, artful and wilful; she doubtless al
ways intends to be, and there is little use
in expecting anything else of her.
A singular demonstration of Woman's
frowardness is offered by the mortuary
tables of the Life Insurance Companies,
and this also proves her ability to defeat
and defraud her Victim, man.
A story which illustrates this point is
vouched for by reliable authority, and 1t
ought to be circulated far and wide 30
that all may know ''the latitude and the
longitude, the altitude and the profundity"
of her willy ways.
It seems that not long ago a woman
with three little children for whom she
wished to make provision In case of her
death, applied for policy on her life. To
her surprise she was told that the rate at
which che must pay was five dollars more
Der thousand dollars than her brother had
paid at the same age. She learned that 1t
was "sxtrs hazardous" to be q woman !;
that she was 80 compassed about with dan
gers, known and unknown, that 1t was
necessary for the safety of the company
| that the extra five dollars should be paid.
She had heard much of the sheltered lives
of women, and of how they sat serensly in
| the sanctuary of home and sewed on but
| tons. while men marched forth to battle,
or went down to the sea In ships, or blast-
| ed rocks in quarries, or drove the mighty
and ponderous engine, or fought
with Wild beasts on Wall street, all
| for their sweet sakes. So she was some
what alarmed as we'll as surprised to find
herself ranked as "extra hazardous" She
felt as If the foundations of society were
crumbl;ng, and as II 1t were all the more
important that her life should be insured
forthwith, 30 paid tho premium and de
parted, much cast down and disquieted.
A short time afterward her mother, hav
ing some money to invest, applied to th'
same aotusry to know how much of al
annuity she could buy with Il. He figured
upon Il and then named . sum very muol
less than q man could get for the SAM
amount. She too was surprised, and hat
the daring to ask for an explanation of thi
strange arrangement. She was told tina
as women lived SO much longer than men
the company could not afford to pay then
as large annuities.
"B1t you told my daughter" she said
''thss women do not live a. long as men
and 80 she pays at higher rate on insur
ance to make you safe lest she should di
too young. Now you charge me moro fo
an annuity ON the theory that Q woma
lives longer than a man."
"Wen," he replied, readiustipg hi
glasses, and making another careful sort

seem to be the fact. If q woman insure

Some Ancient English 1nns-Charm-
Ing Pictures From Some of the Most
Ancient Inns OF England, From
TWO to Five Hundred Years Old,
Which are still the Resort of Trav-
elers-The Lyon Arms at BROAD
way, the New Inn At Gloucester and
the Unicorn at Boyves.
LONDON, June 10.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
There is no place in England where such
fine example of the very ancient stone
built village may be found as at Broad
way, the BRAD weis" of FIVE hundred
year ago, which nestles against the lower
void Hills, overlooking the lovely vale of
Evesham. The many-gsbled Lyon Arms,
delicious resort for American and Eng
lish Artists and other genuine epicures of
food, scenery and charming antiquities, is
the mest ancient of all the structures of
the slumbsrous old mountain town.
The precise structure standing here to-
day is known to have been occupied as an
inn for upwards of five hundred years.
1t is charmingly picturesque without, and
It's interior is most quaintly arranged, with
odd hooks and corners, while the first
floor of the east wing has fne old room
with curiously carved chimney piece in
stone, other interesting ornamentation,
| and a wondrous lot of charming traditions
about the great folk, some on desperate
business, like Charles l., in 164S, and
| Cromwell, In 1851, who have lodged with
in 1t. Broadway itself is the sweetest old
English pastoral village idyl to be found
in England, and, to me, this ancient hos
telry, with its Tudor chimneys, its many
gables and dormers, Its stone and iron
finals, mullioned windows and bays, itt
fine old ingles and freplsces, with it'
stone walls, thick as forts, msssed witt
crespers and vines, is its warmest and
mellowest page.
The old cathedral city of Gloucestel
possesses several very ancient inns which
are still In use, two of which are REGARDED

EDITORIAL NOTES.

NJ. Turpin, the discoverer of melenite,
is doing his best to make war so dangerous
that people can't afford to engage in 1t.
He has made very light gun and carriage
drawn by two horses, and four charges
can be fred within the space of fifteen
minutes, each of which throws %, 900
bullets over a surface Of 10000 square
yards. The range of the gun is about two
miles.
The most serious menace to church go
ing in England is said 10 be cycling. A
few churches have tried to induce wheel
men to come in for morning service, but
have been stolen by local church members,
and the whselmen row say that they will
not go to church unless the church insures
their machines. Many of the clergy have
become enthusiastic wheelmen, and it Is
said that one country parson who was re-
Gently called on to oficiate at funeral
wanted to ride to the cemetery on q
wheel, wearing his surplice.
One of the most wonderful discoveries
in sciencs that hss been made Svithin the
last year or two is the fact that beam of
light produces sound. A beam Of sunlight
is shown through lens on a glass vesse]
that contains lamp-blsct, colored silk OF
worsted, or other substances. A disk
having slits or openings cut in 1t, is made
to rs7olve swiftly in this beam of light, *
as to out it up, thus making slternat,

ALL DISTRIBUTED.

There being no more Offices to distribute
and no more schemes to work the legisla-
ture has at last adjourned. 1t has done
the best it could for itself and hasn't done
the State quite as much harm as some at
one time feared 1t would. It hasn't sold
the State or mortgsged 1t, and 1t has
generously refrained from going to the
Worlds fair at the expense Of the people.
It will be interesting to see what effect one
conspicuous performance of this legislature
win have upon tho political future of
those most prominent In 1t. We mean
the plots which have been made and
carried out to give good Offices
to as many members as Offices
could be found for. If We are
not mistaken, such general, systematic,
successful and profitable offioe-gobbling has
not been seen in any other Connecticut
legislature. There has been a somewhat
prevalent theory in this State tnat . man
WAS elected to the legislature to represent
his constituents and not especially to rep
resent himself. And there has been an
ObuoI tAoOIy tunb Ao WA5u CAnCtAJ AOAOHh-
BILE for members of the legislature to use
their membership in trade with each 9th
er for the purpose of getting Office. There
has been SO much open and shameless &
work of this kind by members of this
legislature, and so little has been
said about it that we have wondered If,
after ali, such members didn't really repre-
sent those who sent them. If they do the
people of Connecticut are not what they
have been. The time has been when mem
bers of the legislature wouldn's have dared
to do what the Office -grabbers of this legis
lature have done, even If they had wanted
to. But times change, and 1t may bs thai
the judges, the commissioners and all ths
others who have profited by their places ir
the legislature are looked upon as smar
and truly patriotic. If they are the mex
legislature will be still more for itself thar
this one has been, and the game will grow
with success and approval.
