Feeding Of the Multitude" But lie said: "a nd
they fed 10 people with 10000 loaves of bread

hide somebody Is deformity. y."-Elizabetb, Queen
of England.
For the last eight years, ia obedience to
fashion, we have been wearing humps. first
and "the first's the worst" "-ou our backs; then
she let us shift them to our shoulders, and now
has ordered them to be dropped to the elbows,
aud the shoulders once more slope naturally.
Now, it would be difficult to trace these
changes but years ago kings and queens had
habit of devising costumes to hide their de-
formities, and among them they had variety.
They serenely planned costume to conceal
stoop in the shoulder. shortness of stature,
troublesome feet, or ugly marks. and then
counted on all of the court lords and ladies
Initiating them, regardless Of any little charae-
teristics equally unpleasant, bnt less royal, that
might be made more conspicuous by the new
fad, and in SO calculating they were net aHiss.
Coed Queen Bess herself wore high frills to hide
her thin-some historians unkindly put it
"scrawny"-neck. Her own mother, Anne
Bcleyn, wore black velvet band around her
throat to hide an unpleasant mark, and ut the
same time it enhanced the fairness of her skin.
Black velvet bands straightway became the
fashion. But the band and fair skin and pretty
face did not serve to protect her when her
kingy husband chose TO bshead her. But the
fashion survived the blow and ladies still wear
the black throat ribbon. and some call it
"Queen AIMS band" The dainty josephine,
having defective teeth, carried bit OF fine lace
which she held to her mouth when she snIilsd,
and in this manner was born the handkerchief.

In one of his delightful essays. T. w. Hig-
ginson sums up tho difference between man
and woman as lying in the masculine possess
sion aaa the feminine non possession of pockets.
Man having, and always having had, pockets,
there has been bred in him natural and
reasonable predominauey. Hercdty and en-
vironneat have both educated him to bo the
possessor and user of pockets and the superior
of woman. And so must 1t always be. Even if
she began Immediately and bad IS pockets,
she never could catch up with him-he has too
much of a start. After deciding that her hat
is unavailable as pocket, and her one so.called
pocket" unreschable, he further elnchss the
conviction Of her hopeless cond tion by saying:
"And although her mouth is no doubt capable of
vast aud varied service as receptacle of pins,
think how imperfectly it replaces the ID
pockets of q man."
