the early teachings and influences OF a

years of maturity. The time which a
boy spends at his mothers knee is
never forgotten by the man. Our NOR

are formed there. We are most impress
sionable when we are in a stage OF
absolute dependence upon others. What
sort of a recollection is it for a man to
look back to a line of nurses or gov

he receive from the recollection of a
mother inevitably reading some novel
and resting In q languid stupor with a

The Waist Line.

One reason why the modistes worry
so much about the disposition of the
waist line" is that they hain't no
such thing" Dame Nature never made
a waist, and if the Almighty had meant
a woman to be corset-shapcd He would
doubtless have made her so. The wide
corslet belt, pointed above and below
the waist line, has been very popular.
but it is only for slender women or
those who insist on considering them
selves so. The new Venus waist"
about which we hear so much, seems
to be a fact. 1t is easily defined, an
nounceS Ellen Osborn.
A Venus waist is one which is about
three or four inches larger than it was
last season.. And it really makes the
entire figure more slender because there
is no such bullying of displaced tissue
above and below if, as the distigurins
corset compels. They say it is very sell
dom. except in England, that one now
adays sees a woman in really high so
ciety with a pinched waist. AS for
Paris, it was there that the idea of the
table de Milo was born.
