Sarah Bernhard claims that the wear

sions OF the face, dims the FIRE Of the eye,
and makes the teeth look like chalk Her
fad, however, is for costly gowns, the last

An astonishing physiological phenome-
non says the New York Sun, is just an
nounCed from Paris. Ii is that the size
of the waists Of all women OF fashion has
suddenly increased three or four inches
Fashion makers, It is declared. have decid-
ed that the generous Grecian waist is to
be the standard. Search for an explana-
ton of this sudden decree brings an inter-
esting statement from high authority
He says:
Warnings by medical men against ex-
cessive tight lacing are at last being heed
ed but in reality the bicycle is responsible
for the movement You can have no idea
OF the large proportion Of our customers
who have taken to the wheel. 1t is de-
eidedly a great majority. Naturally the
exercise has demanded more freedom OF
respiration and movement and an increase
in the dimensions of the corset. Little by
little ladies are coming to the conviction
that trihe more liberty in this respect
makes great difference in their comfort.
without in any way detracting
from their appearance; so the
present movement is decidedly In favor
/ of more latitude, though only with
in reasonable proportions. An inch
/ and half to a couple Of Inches as a rule,
meet all requirements. With the present
| fashion Of lose blouses, instead of tightly
fitting bodices the difference is scarcely
perceptible."

AS we passed the turnpike dear"
"Oh, that was the place" and she tossed
her head,
Where my saddle was out of gear"
How much loved you I longed to tell
when we stopped at the inn, you
know"
"oh, that was the place" and her glances
fell,
Where my front wheel wabbled so"
And then, when we reached the clover
farms,
Under the old oak tree,
Il wanted to clasp you, sweet, in my
arms,
And ask you to marry me-"
And the maid, with her rapt gaze turned
away
Blushed deep at his words of fire
ITO think" she said, that 1 rode thai
"Ten miles on a punctured tire!
And so with pleasure and real delight
Il note what your words reveal;
For I've longed some time" and she
clasped him tight,
ITO ride on brand-new wheel"

envelopes were invented is coming bach
