the proportions of that of the Venus de

Many of them are made of velvet a. well
as silk, and they make even the smallest
waist look large.
Broad girdles are also much the vogue.
The newest consist of bands OF velvet
studded with mock Jewels. They are
specially designed to be worn with an
empire gown. Short WASTED effects ars
coming into vogue rapidly, particularly
for evening costumes.

actresses were in the habit of spending

artists.
Ada Rehan has acquired a snug little
fortune which she has put in Harlem
and Brooklyn real estate. Della Fox owns

The mathematical tripos at Cambridge,
in which four young women recently took
honors, is said TO be by long odds the sew
crest and most exhaustive examination
in the world. It has always been the
dread of Cambridge students, but the ter
rible weapons of mathematical analysis
forged by the great modern minds pur-
suing modern methods make it all the
more formidable. The examination re-
Quires eight days, the first four Of which
are devoted to the elements OF nearly ali

examination. In these 1irst four days
the questions set are for the most part
only to be solved by elementary methods
and without recourse TO analytical cal

first part can assist their theoretical stu

though this assistance has not as YET
become particularly general. The
second four days deal with practi-
