How the Summer Girl Poses.

Have you noted the latest fadg' said gay
girl with laughing blue eyes this afternoon,
writes the Point Comfort correspondent of
the Washington Post
The man with whom she was talking fol-
lowed the direction of her glance and saw a
group of half a dozen fashionably dressed
young women talking with a single naval off,
Ger whom they had got all to themselves.
1.-The attitudes, Of course, Don't YOU see
that every one of those girls is standing with
her arms akimbof
why, so they are"
well. that is the very newest thing In
order to make the balloon sleeves look as big
as possible the proper fashion is to put the
hands on the hips. Observe the effect now

I shouldn't think that was necessary"

Everything is necessary that is the fashion.
1t is even done at meals
4 don't think I've observed it."
"Of course not Men have no eyes, But
when you go into dinner presently take notice
and you will see that the accepted form is for
a woman to hold her left arm akimbo, the hand
on the hip, while she eats with her right hand.
All the SWEETEST girls do it.a' ..-...

Every new fashionsis absurd until one gets
used to it. l have been practicing lately at
standing with my, arms akimbo. The first
time mamma saw me do it she was startled
She called me to her and asked me il was
trying to look like milkmaid'
The attitude is certainly not graceful

THAT doesn't make the slightest difference
so long as it is the accepted form, If you pos
sessed any powers of observation you would
have noticed long ago that attitudes for
women alter from. time to time, like any other

Padsrewski in ST. Louis

There is one scene in connection with the
recent visit Of Ignace Jan Paderewski to St
Louis that escaped the newspapers" said a
prominent musician to ST. Louis Republic
writer. 1T was on the evening after the CON
cert and there was rush Of satellites 10 see
the star. They wanted 20 be able to say that
they had squeezed the fingers that had drawn
limpid and liquid harmony from the piano
that Paderewski played on. The tired and
weary musician was enduring the ANNOYANCE
with as much grace as he could when a we'll
known young man, whose only claim to dis
tlnction is the fact that his father left him
rich, elbowed his way through the crowd ex-
claiming:
" stand asidel Stand aside. gentlemen. and
let these ladies pass. Right this way. ladies'
Paderewski stood aghast as II fearing the
worst, as the young man with his sisters, his
cousins and his aunts surrounded him.

"Ihen there was a triple shrek from the
three charming daughters and one Of them in
shrill screech, cried:

such sounds hose white, supple, slender
ringers! o. do let me see those delicate,
dainty fingers whose mystic touch thrills in

day If you keep 1t up long enough, then very

will They Walk Backward

Persons presented to royalty are re-
quired by court etiquette to face the
royal parsonage as long as they remain
in his or her presence. Under no circum-
stances must the back be turned. If the
presentation takes place in a drawing
room the recipient of royal recognition
must walk backward, bowling gracefully,
Until the door is reached, when, with a
grand and sweeping bow, the retiring in
dividual may dodge behind the door
facing and escape.
This acknowledged and time-honored
social rule is causing the society ladies of
New York considerable uneasiness They
are not quite sure whether it would or
would not be the proper thing for them
to walk backward after being introduced
to the Infanta Eulalie at the grand ball to
be given in her honor on Friday night
To still further cOmplicate the matter,
the ball room in which the presentations
win take place is provided with boxes APP

danes of the -Four Hundred, or the Five
Hundred, according to the latest count of
society noses, conclude 10 crawlish out of

cess they would find themselves unaer
the necessity of walking backward UP the
steps. And il is safe to say that there is
not one Of them who could do it grace
fully in boomers, not to mention skirts
with court trains.
A society reporter, having been in
formed that the movement will be insisted
upon by the committee, asked some of the
ladies what they proposed to do about it.
They would not say, but showed a disro-
sition to rebel. On the whole, it appears
that there will be some fun, as well as
lots of "frills," at the ball in honor of the
infanta.

Prince Antoine, the husband of the
Spanish infanta, has not cut much of
figure as an individual since his arrival
in this country. Yet it seems that he is a
man OF striking individuality. While in
Washington the other day he threw him
self into BARRIERS chair and gave this
order in English: ''I'm tired of wearing
hair this way; cut my hair like that of
your American prize-fighters. Up to
that time he had been wearing dude

In this practical age, when business
follows the most convenient channels and
the best accommodations, it is not sur
prising to find the Atlantic Coast Line
seeking to extend itself to Savannah
Sharp competition makes it necessary for
the Coast Line to save every mile and
every minute possible between Richmond
and more southern points, hence the CON
meeting roads about to be built. The new
deal will be little rough on Charleston,
but for years, during the life of Ashley
junction, Charleston was seven miles off
the direct line between New York and
Florida, and it will only be like going
back TO the old order of things.

The recent bank failures at Indianap-
oils, Cedar Falls, Elmira and elsewhere
have convinced Controller Eckels that
there is need for a law limiting the
amount of loans by national banks to
their officers and directors. A measure
of the kind was before the last congress,
but died in committee of conference. The
controllers idea is that not only should
the amount of such loans be limited, but
that yea and nay vote should be recorded
when loans are made to bank officers.
