A BODY THAT WASN'T A BODY.

I T Is a great mistake to call "bocice
anything but bodice. Corsageis ger
missible, OF course, and is never mis-
L leading, hut it has a foreign twang
that every good American should avoid
even In the technicaiities of dress. Waist
is a word that. logically, should never be
applied to a garment having just as much
reference to the shoulders and neck as TO
the waist.
And. above all, the bodice should never
be called body" Such term is not
only "inelegant and improper" but dis
tinctiy misleading. AN example OF this
occurred recently in New. York city. A
young woman, who for some days had
been visiting her married sister in the
suburbs, returned home without remem-
bering to bring her luggage with her.
Among the clothes she left behind her
was an evening bodice that, almost as soon
as she arrived home, the young woman
found she wanted to wear. She accord
ingly telegraphed to the suburban sister,
asking that the desired article be shipped
at once.
II so happened that this young woman
spent the whole OF the following day with
another girl. in the course Of which abb
sence the feelings of her family may be
ceiving the following telegram, signed by
the suburban sister: "Bertha's body has

TESTING ITS HEARING.

TT PATHETIC anccdote is told of the
Countess of Orkney, who was deaf
" and dumb. Shortly after the
\ birth of her first child. the nurse
saw the mother cautiously ap-
proach the cradle In which the infant was
sleeping.
The countess, having perfectly as
surcd herself that the child really slept,
took out a large stone which she had
concealed under her shawl, and to the
horror of the nurse, who, like all pc rsoas
of the lower order in her country. indeed
IN most countries. was fully impressed
with an idea Of the peculiar cunning and
malignity of ''iumbies,'' raised it with
an intent to fling 1t do wn vehemently.
Before the nurse could interpose. the
countess had flung the stone; not, how
ever, as the servant had appEehend, at
the child. but on the floor, where. of
course, It made great noise. The child
Immediately awoke and cried.
The countess, who had looked with
maternal ca gerness TO the result of her ex-
pertinent. fell on her knees in transport

possessed the sense of hearing which was

A SOCIETY SECRET.

0HE secret of being a good hostess
is in hiding the fact that you are
making an effort to please. The
houses to which you like best to go
are those where you feel at liberty
TO look over books and portfolios. where
the piano stands open and there are
chairs without elaborate cushions. In pre-
pairing for an evening party, If you ex-
pect to have games which involve real
play, put away delicate bric-a-brac, so
that no guest will have the misfortune to
spoil his evening and yours by an accident
Scatter picture books and single views
at tse sides of the room for the benefit
of those unfortunates. the wallflowers.
There should always be corner set apart
for those who do not dance. and this should
be Ia rye enough for table at which game
may be played comfortably. Look after
the sh y boys and girls, thatis one ofthe chief
duties of the hostess. 1t is better to try to
bring them into general sport than to do
vote yourself to their amusement.
