One of his argument is that If nature
had intended the head to be raised in oc-
cupying a recumbent position, the human
body would have been differently formed.
An English sculptor, says the New
York Times has been interviewed about
women s arms, and admits much dliiiculty
in securing a perfect model He sums up
the points of such an arm as follows:
The arm should be fully two heads long
from is insertion at the shoulder 10 the
wrist: the upper arm large and round; a
dimpled elbow; the forearm not too nat /;
the whole diminishing in long, graceful
curves TO q weil-rOunded wrist. A
woman's arm is rounder and tapers more
gracefully than u mans. owing TO the
deltoid muscle coming lower down the
arm, and all the muscles having longer
and more gradual curve
Ana he says further that women should
know how much to move their arms.
There is as much power of expression
in the arm as in the face. Sarah Bern
hardt is only one of many instances, es-
pecially among the French, Italian and
Spanish women. Her arms are certainly
not things of beauty on account of their
shape; but they are decidedly so in their
movements. She knows how TO manage
them, and the result is charming"
In clever dialogue, which she con-
tributes to the mothers and daughters
controversy in the Nineteenth Century,
Mrs. Frederic Harrison relates hOwa GER
tain mother, who had given her daughter
a novel to read, had pinned up the three
most interesting chapters with bonnet
pin. This strikes US, we confess. as very
primitive Arrangement. Backing out, on
the other hand, is effective, but brutal,
for it depreciates the value OF the book,
and precludes other persons, who are not
daughters, from enjoying these interest
ing chapters" Surely, in this mechan-
ical age, it ought to be easy to discover
patent bowdleriser, which should be
absolutely effective and removable by any
one who is old enough to possess the
key or its equivalent. We are sure that
a small fortune would await any inventor
who is clever enough to supply this

cap or niqhtdress more than once, the
head-dresser is well worth 'cultivating. !"
Queen Victoria has very pretty feet, de-
spite her bulky, unwieldly frame. They
are smaller and daintier than the feet
of any of her children. She always
wears an old-fashioned congress gaiter
and her last is in the keeping of the pro
vincial bootmakers at Windsor and Bal
moral, as well as the court-maker in
London. Likewise have the provincial
diapers the block upon which is fash
toned her majesty's caps. This block is
made to fit her head closely, and in a
quarter of a century the style has scarce
ly varied. The caps are always made of
fine white crepe lisse. The light frame
is edged with fine white silk wire, upon
which three little crepe lisse frills are
sewed, to meet in the back two long
white streamers daintily hemstitched by
hand. The streamers fall to the waist
line. When completed the whole must
not weigh more than three ounces.
The Queen orders these caps by the do
zen. Six dozen caps generally suffice for
a single sojourn at Windsor Castle. She
took four dozen with her on her last visit
to Grasse Six dozen nightdresses are
crnmpled during a Windsor visit. Never
