| Her name is Helen Keller. She was deaf,
dumb and blind from her babyhood until she
reached the age OF 10. Today, AZ IS, although
she is hopelessly deaf and blind, she speaks
English, German and French fiuently, and Is
mentally equal, If not superior, to any girl
of her age in Cambridge or elsewhere.
When an infant, she was like any child
until she was IS months old. Then she was
attacked by an Illness which spared her life
but robbed her of speech, sight and hearing,
The lonely baby seemed TO be shut away
from all the world, and to live in an outer
darkness, which nothing or no one could
penetrate. But one day wonderful woman
took the unfortunate child's hand in hers,
and the apparently hopeless work of com
municating with her was begun That wo-
man was Miss Annie NJ. Sullivan, who has
taught Helen Keller all she knows and to
whom the credit of the girls wonderful rec
ord is due.
THE BLIND GIRLS HAPPY LIFE.
Today, at 16, Helen Keller sits in tho cless-
room of Mr. Gilman's school four houra
daily and takes exactly the same studisa
pursued by her classmates. These are

PARIS. Jan 2.--There is a subtle difference
between dancing gowns and other evening
dress. The difference the prosaic may say
is only division between the thin and heavy

good deal more, know that 1t means deli
cate adjustment OF materials to moods, and
that attention to 1t is just now one OF the
conditions of a successful toilet.
Take an example: A skirt OF vaporous
violet tulle, its manifold pleats streaked
down with silver-real steel beads to be ac-
curatc bodice equally in pleats and silver

and shadowcd by a bolcro OF violet velvet.

skirt OF this gown Is new. 1t is not pleated
1t is cut bias. with bias seam down the
middle of the front, and large cord is
shlrred In about three inches down from the

form of the wearer. 1t is hemmed at the
bottom and bordered with velvet and 1t is

SKIRTS AND BoDICES.
SILK and satin skirts are cut to Gt close
round the top and break like an umbrella
into great many godets below. There are
no gathers behind but there are two nat
pleats that fold under and meet. Such a
skirt of pink satin has three narrow bands
of sable put on so as to describe a curve,
low in front and rising toward the back.
To avoid the angle that would be made be-
hind by the two sides OF the curve coming
together, the line is reversed and rounds
upward behind. Round the top OF the skirt,
close TO the belt, there is an applique of
white guipure over white satin some two or
three inches deep. The bodice Is OF lace
over white satin, with bolero OF pink vel
vet, short behind and open In front trimmed
with parallel rows OF sable to match the
skirt Another model OF satin has the upper
part of the skirt in tucks running round.
