merce At any rate, it all goes to show
that skirts will continue to fare for q
considerable time to come. Hence my
advice to the fashioners of new spring
gown is-make 1t fare, whatever you
do, and after that see that you studi-
ously conceal all dart seams, and all
fastenings. You viii have to get into
your dress, of course, but there must
be no visible indication of how you do
it. Buttons there are, to be sure, and
plenty of them, but they are for orna-
ment and not for use. The blouse
waist answers this requirement better
than any other, and for that reason
nearly everything has a blouse eff
feet. If the waist proper is not blouse,
there is q loose front put on to simu-
hate one.
Trimmings of jet and jewels are to
be had in made-up pieces 70 trim dress
fronts in blouse lines. One of the pref
test devices is piece of satin ribbon
about five inches wide seeded with
spangles in various patterns. This is
laid in plat at the neck and waist.
and left loose at the edges These
ribbons sometimes come in sets. There
is the front piece, the cuffs and plain
piece for the belt. A black set with
green spangles was sold for twelve dol
lars. A narrower ribbon may be edged
with lace and treated in the same way.
Nearly all fancy waists are blouses. A
pretty pink crepon carried out the idea

with pink satin ribbon and green Sc.
quins Accordion-plaited waists are
necessarily loose.
Velvet and velveteen blouses are
much worn. That plaid velvet can be
utilized with good effect in this way,
and since it has been marked down and
laid upon the ubiquitous bargain
counter, it is not SO much in the line of
the unattaina BILE as it once was.

ming of points of rich lace radiating
from the collar. This was the only
trimming, yet, because the sleeves had
the correct droop and the skirt the right
fare, it held its own very well beside a
much more richly trimmed gown in the
same room.
The rival costume had a jacket
shaped lace draped on the bodice, with
two points across the bust appliqued
over the velvet corselet. The skirt was
cut out in scallops over a black velvet
petticoat and embroidered around the
edge with jet. The sleeves, the collar
and the bottom of the lace jacket were
trimmed with an edge of tiny ostrich
tips.

There is one thing DIR. Stone has
overlooked-the effect of the straight
ening of the eyebrows in future genera
tions, which according to Prof. c. 6.
Lockwood. of New York, would rob him
of his practice if he were to live few
hundred years. Lockwood has recently
made series of experiments which he
classes as 1.-The hereditary transmits
sion of mutations" and which give
evidence that in SO many generations OF
the STRAIGHTFORWARD japanese, nature
itself viii mold them straight.
In these experiments the professor
has selected white mice, owing to their
rapid breeding. They afford the most
desira bic means, as they begin to breed
when thirty days old and breed every
thirty days. In this way he was en-
abled to see the result of what many
generations of human beings like the
japanese would produce. in year or
SO. His experiments were TO esta blish
the theory of hereditary transrnissions
and in this investigation he selected the
tail of the little animal as the agency.
These were severed from the selected
pair and from their young. By contin-
uing this method of breeding, IN the
seventh generation he got some young
without tails, and finally got perfect
breed of tailless mice. Then By taking
one with tail and one without tail,
and alternating the sexes IN each gen
Grafton, he brought them back again to
the ordinary tailed mice. From these
experiments the scientific world would
claim that If followed in human beings.
as in the case OF Strengthening the eyes

any desirable change in bodily form
could be accomplished.

Perhaps this is why so many women

the reason why they exhibit their sum-

cause so many women go away early,

shopper say to another. They were
looking at silk petticoats just then, but
they made the same remark about

TO be a fad with some women, not only
to insist upon having everything they

this one of the most interesting under
takings in modern science, he has taken
up fight against nature that is to rid
the nation of the greatest drawback in
its struggling efforts for advancement.
Stone started for Japan a little over a
year ago by way of San Francisco, and
the letter just received from him de-
scribes his work, which he has been
instrumental in bringing to the atten-
ton of the japanese government.
Among the japanese emperor's most
prominent subjects, who, like himself,
have proited by the artifce, are found
the names of statesmen, diplomats, in
the action of the present war with China
and royalists. Here is the letter:
