THE FIT OF GOWNS IN THE BACK.

THE FIT OF GOWNS IN THE BACh.
THE first thing say to woman,
says an authority on physical cul-
ture and it's attendant ethics, when
she comes to me for advice and sug-
gestion, is, Turn your back to me.
1t Is remarkable how few women
present good-looking back, straight.
and shapely, with shoulder tips in
line, elbows not poking, hips even,
and no protuberant shoulderblades.
In one Of her stories, Mrs. Cruger
makes a clever, fashionable woman,
who is displaying Worth gown to
some friends, ask, anxiously: is the
back right?' and when told that it
is the perfection of elegant fit in the
back, say, with relief: Then l shall
keep it. One has so many resources
to conceal an ill-fitting front; ones
arms and hands, q bow of ribbon,
and the like, but the back is hope
less, and must be above reproach, or
words of similar effect. Mrs. Cruger
is quite right, and she might have
gone further. The back is not only
the crucial test of woman's gown
it is also Of her general appearance.
A good back is very rare. Watch
women on the stree5, and you will
be surprised to see how few will own
one. - New York Times.

eral terms and was for two terms

crat. During his term he with
drew from the Democratic party and
identified himself with the Know
Nothing party He was reelected to
congress as a member of that party. He
was nominated for speaker of the House,
and a contest lasting more than two
months followed. He was, however.

numerous demonstrations in the Red river
section without accomplishing anything
much except what tarragut helped him
do. Then Banks army, reinforced by
Gen. A }, Smiths force of 10000 men,
were defeated by Gen. Richard Tavor's
confederates at Sabine cross roads, and
the federals retreated to Alexandria. At
that point complications arose which
made Banks think 1t necessary to con
tinue the retreat into Mississippi, which
be did with such good generalship that
again his forces were saved from capture.
