styles of men and Of women have al
ways gone in opposite directions. Thir-
ty-tive years ago. when women wore
immensely large hoop skirts and al
endless variety of bulging frillS and
furbelOWS, the attire of men was sleek
and cloSe-titting. At an earlier pc
riOd. when masculine fashion required
very wide trousers. gaudy waiStcoatS
ana loose coats. the mode for women
WAS excessively plain. So, if women
are to glory in the freedom and health
fulneSS of large and ample waists the
curious laws of fashion demand that
men must grid on the burdensome
yoke Of the corset and endure the new
agony of pinching in their waists to
the minimum figure.
The fashion has not yet progressed
sufficiently for any standard to be set
regarding the proper waist measure
ment for men. And it is not very prob
able that such Il thing will happen. for
the reason that some people attribute
the new style to the Prince of Wales
and his growing cOrpulency. If the
waist measure Of the prince were
taken rs the correct thing most men
could face the fashion with an easy
grace. as the girth of his royal high
ness is said to be forty-twO inches.
There is little doubt that the prince
has taken up the corset habit not for
the purpose Of setting Il new style.
but as Il matter Of necessity. He is
very vain of his appearance, and with
in the last year his rapid tendency to
increased weight has given him a world
of trouble.

n comfort to writers whose books are

to do with the work of a literary per-

er. was staying with the Carlyles ut
Chelsea. a caller inquired for her.
Yes" was Mrs. Carlyle's answer,
"Geraldine Jewsbury is here. but she
Is in her room with a bad cold, and Is
reviewing a novel" She paused and
then added grimly, as if thinking to her
self:
Il am sorry for the novel TINT is re-
viewed by Geraldine when she has a
bad cold"
