SHALL WE SPIN ToPs

La bOuchere Saws So


IT HERE'S no repose in the modern woman.
She must constantly have something
new. and nothing lasts long with her. She
Is utterly unable to remain at home in
dignified obscurity. but must needs scam

says the London Truth. Display, excite
nient, movement and novelty are the things
which she Graves for. The rage for skating
at the real ice rink continued for about two
months and thenfa shion suddenly switched
May Fair on to the bicycle. This, in it's
turn Is already commencing to lose the
charm OF novelty, and these who vanity
forces them to be the first to do whatever
Is peculiar are beginning to turn their
attention 10 trundling hoops. Being an
essentially solemn people. however, when-
ever we lapse into frivolIty we Justify
our folly by serious argument. 1t appears
that trundling a hoop and spinning a top
are altogether better forms of exercise
than are either skating or bicycling. The
first strengthens the spinator longus, the
triceps and the latissimus dorsi, while the
latter gives play TO the deltoid and the ex-
tensor carpi radialis lOngior. That being
the case no reasonable objection can be
raised to our women running along the
streets trundling their hoops OF spinning
tops in the park.

Record In samnolence.

The young Dutch maiden, Maria Cvet-
skens, who now liea asleep at Stevens
werth, has beaten the resorti in the annals
OF somnolence. On December . she had
been asleep for go day almost three
quarters OF the year. The doctors, who
visit her in great numbers, are agreed that
there is no deception in the case. Her
parents are of the best repute in the neigh
borhoOd for truth and honesty, and it has
never occurred to them to make any finan-
ciai profit oui of the abnormal state of their
daughter. AS TO the cause Of the prolonged

Muslin and Lace.

A COLLAR OF muslin and lace, with cuffs
"A to match, can be made very easily by
cutting muslin strips of the desired width
and edging them with cream lace on both
sides. Then lay the muslin in triple
box plaits, and fasten them in place about
three quarters of the distance, with lit
tie silk stitching, allowing the fullness TO
spring out between the plaits. These
make very pretty finishngs for any house
dress. but should always be kept perfect
ly fresh. II made OF good material, the
plaitings can be unfastened, the goods
washed and plated up again, as good as
new.

With Kind astuteness these give their

occasions when extra protection for the

ABOUT THE MEN CHILD.

THE new woman IL go much under dis
cussion that 1t 10 but natural that the
new child should come In for few remarks
Just as the modern woman is distinct
variety, SO the modern little girl has GER
tain characteristics OF her own, due to the
surroundings In which she Is placed. and
to the training which she receives
In one respect she certainly has an adj
vantage over the pretty little children who
smile upon us from the stately pictures OF
the Georgian era. She can run and play
about with far more freedom than would
have been possible TO them in their long
frocks and thin shoes. Pamela ventures TO
suggest that girls might be entitled to the
same first education as boys go far as a
mother could instruct Them but she safe
guards even this modest claim by the clause

EVEN IN the early days of the present
~ century the caution. "httie girls sh ould

dutifully accepted. The child of the past

The modern child is more likely to indulge
in too much than too little exercise. the
muscles may be oyerstrained and the heart
overtaxed when delicate children attempt
to keep pace with their stronger coinpan-
ions; but on the whole the change Is In the
right direction. and where fresh air and
