Firstly. Wear soft, clinging materi-
ais. Leave heavy stuffs and fluffy stufs
to the slim.
Secondly. -Don't line your skirts.
Crinoline is for the willows.
Thirdly-Don't put balloons on your
arms. Full dropping sleeves expose you
to less ridicuIe and are just as fashion
able.
Fourthly.-Don't tighten the waist.
It makes you look stouter. Moreover, it
gives you tremendous hips and big
bust, and these this winter are out Of
fashion.
Fifthly.-Don'twe wear a velvet bodice.
It increases the apparent size.
Sixthly.-Try satin. It lessons the
size.
Seventhly. Wear dark colors.
Eighthly and Lastly (for long sermons

An Indian schoo1teacher.

Miss Lucinda Gore of Lackharabad
was standing in her schoolhouse one
day when, turning around, she saw in
the open doorway the glazing eyes of a
tiger. She did not scream or faint, but
seized a broom and drove it full in the
tigers face, brush foremost. Some of
the bristles entered the tigers eyes, and
with a howl of pain he drew back to
make spring at her. Then she slammed
the door in his face. The supports of
the door were but slender and would
not resist the tigers attacks long, but
while he banged his head against it she
lowered one of her boys through the
window to alarm the neighbors. Assist
ance soon arrived, and the tiger was
shot. Times of India
