Ancient and Modern Clothing.

Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to int, as is our modern clothing. Hav-
ing no definite shape of its own, it did
not disguise the wearer's figure, and the
grace and beauty of Greek drapery are
dependent almost entirely on the perfect
proportions of the figure beneath. The
tunic worn by both Greeks and Romans
was little, if at all, fitted to the wearer,l
and, when ungirded, hung in folds ali
round, while the toga was little moro
than sheet and was worn in all sorts
OF ways according to the prevailing fash
lon. The Jews of old seem to have worn
breeches, but the rest of their clothing
reems to have been simply wrapped
round them, for it was difficult for
chem to run ,or even walk fast without
tirst 'girding mp their loins.'' The
clothing of the northern races was prob
ably always more of a fit than that of
the southern, for they used leather,
winch does not lend itself to simple
draplng, but our ancestors probably wore
an almost shapeless tunic beltcd at the
waist. Another striking difference is
found III the gradual monopoly by won-
ell OF the ornamental element in dress.
Once masculine dress was by far the
most splendid. and woman, holding an
absolutely subordinate social position
had to content herself with humber all
tire As She has won her way to free
dom and equality she has annexed, not
only the beautiful, but the extravaganza
elements of costume and left man to
content himself with condition of COL
orless utility.-Cincinnat ENQUIRER.

some three years ago, had come into

What man could possibly at all times
completely guard every look and tone
and touch when thrown so constantly
each day with the loved one? He is un-
conscious how on when his secret is be-
trayed to that one.
But no one save Isbel Brandon herself
suspected Errington's secret. He neither
held aloof nor markedly sought her.
But there were one or two others among
the party who did so, and one day Ma
jor Glyn, the host said half jestingly
to Eric:

your chance with the beautiful heiress
