"A number of women have hopelesslv

Of ladies. THE weight of the skirts On

nary costume, but in evening dress 7
can pick out every one in the room who
Is IN the habit Of wearing straps. The

material set in around the armholes and
down the sides as stays of siren ethenine
pieces: 10 tnese are attached the but

of the weight upon the body below TIE

curve of the shoulders so that the weight
of the garments may rest evenly Over

mixed pleasure and dismay, says the New
/ York Tribune that an up-to-date woman
of the period finds herself a grandmother
and il is safe to say that in most Instances
the dismay rather preponderates as the

causes her to realize that she is enfitiad
| to that venerable title which she has al
| ways associated with old age and more or
| less decrepitude. As many of the grand
| mothers of our day are charming women
| still in the zenith of their good looks and
power of attraction, it is hardly to be won
| dered at that they should dislike a name
that Is not even pretty or loving and that
they should take their children's children
to call them by some more attractive I'll
