tempt which should be nipped in the
bud and discountenanced by women OF
taste. Nothing is so unbecoming as this
style, which begets dropping shoulders,
diminishes the height Of small women
and gives a dowdy appearance to the
prettiest figure.
It is of course difficult to invent
something new for every season, and
dressmakers have to rehash old fashions
now and again in order to satisfy the
desire for change SO inherent to the soul
of the fair sex. But the latter ought
certainly to avoid encouraging in any
way the revival of fashions which are
inartistic, irrational and unbecoming.
In this category, the New York Trib-
une y can be ranged the poke bon
net and the Josephine dress, with the
waist worn right under, the arms, two
most regrettable combinations. Even
when considerably modified to suit mod
err taste, the Josephine dress is horrible
and trying to all, oven to tall and ex-
quisitely formed women. In Paris the
empire dresses are made in the follow
ing fashion: There is a close fitting bod
ice made to accurately define the figure,
and over this is draped from the bust
downward a veil of sheer lace Of gauze
ga rempire," but through which the
form of the wearer may be clearly seen.
The accompanying cut will show how
this is managed. This l. certainly a
great improvement on the general run of
empire and Josephine frocks, and on a
fine figure the effect is good. For chill
dren, however, empire gowns are some
times very pretty. In velvet, with a
short bodice, an embroidered yoke and
short, full sleeves, they look quite dam
ty and give q quaint and picturesque ap-
pearance to little girls from 4 to 12years
of age.
A handsome towel may be used or they
may be made of Gne linen. Have it
stamped some pretty design, then work
with etching silk. The cape is made
longer behind than in front.

A man entangled in her net
OF witching, wasting wiles, and yet
She has no thought Of harming.

And yet she snares men with her SMILE
And plays with their despair awhile,
Then throws them of, in such a style,
Sometimes I'd like to shake her!
Yes, she's a firt, and you a guess

qaxo.'' Allegory often comes to
our aid to express our meaning.
"Look to the left, my little
dcars," as the Snowman said,
"and you will see a grasshopper."
The grasshopper is sometimes
called a corn-crake. To crake is
to boast. The nautilus is the
national carriage of the seas, and
Cupid is symbolic of affection.
Johann Hoff is no braggart. But
he may, perhaps, be allowed to be
proud of the fact that there have
been carried over every known
ocean in geography millions of
bottles of Johann Hof's Malt Elk
tract, which has proved an inesti-
mable boon to whole colonies OF
sufferers, who speak with affec-
ton of the benefits conferred upon
mankind by this great German
beverage. Anyone, for instance.
who knows what the torture OF
dyspepsia is, will estimate at its
proper value a pleasant cordial
which will give FIVE minutes ease.
Johann Hoff's Malt Extract does
more than this. 1t will put the
malady entirely to fight, and lay
the foundation Of a new digestive
system. To have no appetite, and
when you have, to be afraid to
eat, to know that as surely as you
put anything in your mouth acute
agony will result, to be followed
by nights upon nights of restless
ness ; to be able to relieve, and
to cure this amongst other ills
arising from malnutrition is the
lawful boast of Johann Hoff's
Malt Extract. Beware of imita-
tons. The genuine must have
the signature of "Johann Hof

Collars stiil Higher.

Straight collars, cut as high as can be
borne comfortably, are questionable.
If last winters dress fails in this respect,
small bands of chenille or moss trimming
such as are used to border skirts and
finish edges-are laid on the extreme
edge of the collar. Or, again, bebe rib

ment, he would have been considered a fit
subject for the attention of a commission
.sde lunatico inquirendo." And yet, as
every one knows, this very thing has hap
pened.
Viscomte Ferdinand de Lesseps was born
at Versailles Nov. 10, 1905. AS a child he
was remarkably bright and was always the
best mathematician in his class at school.
His education was not a particularly ex-
haustive one, but he was an assiduous stu
dent and ever when a young man was
noted for being particularly we'll informed.
At the age of 90 De Lesseps entered the
diplomatic service of France, continuing in
this branch of the government service for
more thar II years. He was the consul at
Barcelona, Spain, when the city was pom
barded, and he distinguished himself by
his prompt action in providing asylum for
his own countrymen and Spanish fugitives
whom he sheltered on board the French
men-of-war in the harber.
1t was about this time that De Lesseps
conceived tie idea of cutting the Suez ca
nal. It was not until Is years later, how
ever, that he obtained the necessary onces-
sions and backing. It then became a GER
tainty that the dream of the great engi-
neer's life would be realized if capital,
energy, brains and political influence COM
bined could make 1t a success. Work was
begun on the canal in 1859. Then, when
everything going along nicely, q politi-
cal story was started to the effect that
Egypt had sinister motives in lending pc
cuniary aid to the enterprise. This raised
a storm of opposition, and work was gus
pended.
De Lesseps was almost beside himself
with grief and rage, but he worked inces-
sanity, and arbitration was agreed to.
Work was then resumed, and on Aug. Is,
1865, the first vessel passed through the ca,
hal from the Mediterranean sea to the In
dian ocean. Four years later the "big
ditch" was formally opened, and De Les
seps was the most talked about man In the
world. He had been persistently ridiculed
by civil engineers everywhere for a score OF
years, and his triumph was emphatic.
The details Of the Panama canal scandal
are familiar to newspaper readers. De
Lesseps was accused of having caused the
canal company to buy the Panama rail
road at q price which was 6o,C00,C coo francs
beyond its value. This difference, it is al
legged, was never satisfactorily accounted
for. De Lesseps has been married twice.
He is the father Of Is children.

was attired in a straight, falling cos
tune, a la Grecque. The effect, says
n who was present, was not beautiful;
it was not even quaint, but peculiar to
a degree, ~affording another proof that
theories reduced to practice do not al
ways Justify the experiment.

A cape oe this kind is exceedingly con-
venient to wear when one is doing up
ones hair, and 1t always makes a useful
and simple gift, easily worked and mex
pensive. One may vary the shades Of
silk; thus, if the towel has a blue border,
work with blue wash twist; if red bor-
der, use red silk, etc. These dressing
capes launder nicely; in fact, they inn
prove with washing. Do not starch it too
stiff. For a fair nlso sell rapidly.
From a Physicians Standpoint.
A physician of high repute declared
one day last week that if it were in his
power he would pass a law that all
women's garments should hang straight
from the shoulders. The Greeks Of old,
al all know, were the very highest types
of manly and woananly beauty, and
very much Of this perfection Of form
was attributed to the loose, beautiful
style Of dress they wore. A few even
