THE sYLPH-LIKE WOMAN.
When Thinness Ceases 20 Be a Virtue
She Should Drape.

When Thinness Ceases 20 Be a Virtue
She Should Drape.
Thin women should dress to conceal
their angles and to keep their bones in
the background. Plain bodies which
permit the collar bones to reveal their
presence. tight sleeves which announce
the existence Of Sharp elbows and backs
calling attention to conspicuous Shout
der blades are all to be avoided.
In order 10 give herself the appearance
of gracious roundness of figure the
thin woman should have skirts tnat flare
as much as fashion Will permit. Scant
skirts make her look like an eXclama-
ton point. She should wear bodlces
shirred az the neck and at the waist, al
lowing fullness over the bust. The
sleeves should be full to point below
the elbow in order to avoid a display Of
sharpness at that crucial point. If wrist
bones are prominent, long cuffs or frills
Of lace should help TO conceal the pain
full fact Collars should not be plain,
but they should be gathered or laid in
folds.

the golden band has for ages been the
outward sign Of an endless bond OF love
or power. The marriage ring may be
traced back 10 Ter,ulli1l and probably
came into the Christian religion from
Roman usage. The Virgin Mary is
represented in R3plaefs beautiful pic
ture 10 Sposalizio" literally The Es-
pousar) with Joseph placing the ring
on the third finger of the right hand.
The confusion as to- the hand is explain
ed by the statement that the espOusal
ring was placed during the ceremony
on each finger of the right hand. and
finally upon the third finger of the left.
The French custom, which still pre-
walls. of making tle double alliance or
gimmal ring for the wedding ring IS
an extremely pretty one. This ring IS
constructed of double hoops. which play
within one another like the links OF
chain. Each hoop has one flat and one
.1nvexed side and each is twisted once
around. The cwis, I'm each is made TO
correspond with that OF its counterpart

faces. these unite in one ring. IL was
the custom. and may still be, for the
lovers to- have their names inscribed,

THE SENSIBLE WIFE.

She Does Not Get Herself Associated
With Shabb!ness and Debts.
Another way of getting oneself I'M
pleasantly associated is to introduce
painful topics, like bills and depleted
wardrobes, at improper times says a
woman writer in the Washington Star
discussing the subject of chow to man
age a husband" Men are creatures
of moods, and have. as a result, their
amiable and unamiable periods. The
unamiable epoch. according to my re-
searches. is, with the most of them,
early in the morning, and yet that is the
very time that untactful woman with
her hair quite probably in curl papers,
takes to prefer her monetary claims,
thereby getting herself confused in his
mind with house rent. gas bills shabby
cloaks and other distasteful things;

This is the measure which was passed

Mr.. Bullock succeeded in passing it

too late. The famous Glen Ridge bill
met a similar fate. The bill making
married women responsible for goods
they buy and use for themselves or their
families also came to grief in the
House.
Mr.. Wildes introduced a bill reducing
the Governors salary from $4,000 to &c.
|. 900 per year, and also a resolution re-
questing a reconsideration of. the con-
current resolution passed by 10th
Houses shutting the door to any rew

was adopted, but Speaker Holt declined
to accept the bill.
The Senate concurrent resolution, per-
hitting women to. vote at school cleo
was read, when Mr.. Lower objected to

new business. Mr.. Drake said unless
