Nine styles in a 100 Years.

Though the fashion in woman's
dress has changed a hundred
times in a hundred years, said a
young lady of observation, 1T
has been a change of detail
rather than of style, while the
change of costume, that is, OF
dress which can be said to marx
a historical epoch, there have
been but two.
Similarly in mems clothing
there has been but one radical
change of costume during the
century-that from the breeches
to the trousers, with the inter.
regnum of the pantaloons.
THE change in woman's at.
tire which was sufficiently radi.
cal to be called a change OF cos.
tune occurred IN 1919 30. when
the classical renaissance, with
its immodesty. its single gar
ment, and its waist under the
shoulders. went out, and woman
became the bodiced and petit.
coated creature that you know
her to-day.
From 1895 to 1919 or 20 was
the era of short waist.
From 1920 to 1926 were the
days OF the middle waist, short
dress, no sleeves below the
shoulders, or elbows, at turthest.
and natural shoulders.
From 1926 to 1885 there was
a distinctly. marked spell of
broad shoulders, big sleeves and
bell skirts. In fact, our present
fashions have been considerably
based on that decade.
Prom 1885 to 1913 there we're
sloplng shoulders and big full
skirts.

Frances New Presiden, Does Not
Owe His Wealth 10 Politics.

Owe His Wealth 10 Politics,
/ The new president Of the French
republic does not belong, like his
predecessor, TO what has been called
the ''grandc bourgeoisic parlemen-
tatrc. de is a seif-made man, and
his beginnings were humble enough.
ltis not. however, from politics that
he has sought the means OF exist
sence, neither did politics make him
his soctnl positiou---they merely In
creased it. N. Felix Taure is from
Havrc. He was q merchant and
member Of The Huyre chamber of
commerce when he was elected to
the chamber. and he continued until
quite recently to direct his com
mercial affairs while performing his
duty as . deputy with sufficient
eclat 70 be called upon az far back as
1850 70 form part 81 the government
as under secretary Of state for the
colonies.
Since then he has several times
been elected vice president Of the
chamber, a post which he still occu-
pied when he was chosen, on the
formation Of the cabinet, for the
portfolio Of the navy.
NJ. Felix Faure is well known in
Paris, where he has lived for many
years. Before he was minister Of
marine he occupied an elegant fat
In the Rue de Lisbonne, where he
gave charming tetcs, the honors OF
which were done by Nine. Faurc and
her daughters. one Of whom was
married a few years ago. Without
possessing great fortune, like that
of NJ. Casimir- Perier, he is, never.
less, fairly rich.
The new president OF the republic
is very tall aud has military bear
ing. Elegant and distinguished, he
has a face which is at once mild and
energetic; il attracts sympathy at
once, and this first impression is
confirmed by the cordiality and kind
ness Of his address. A point which
may be noted, NJ. Felix Faurc is the
only one of the republican politicians
forming part of the government who
is member Of one of the great
Partisan clubs. He is u member of
the Epatant. A few old Parisians
also remember that he was their col
leagc in a little literary cenaclc,
which was formed about fifteen years
ago at the Restaurant Brcbant, and
which was known under the name Of
Les Pipards.
