HOW JACK MUST DRESS.
Rulers of the Queens Navee Advise
Him About Tribes.


Nothing causes more annoyance to
the British bluejacket than the regula-
tons affecting trivial details of dress.
which the Admiralty are so found of
issuing.
Whoever is responsible for some Il
those regulations must be a humorist
of no mean capacity, though his efforts
are viewed by Jack in any but a hui
morous light. The reason of this is
that as Jack has to purchase all his own
uniforms. he has to bear the expense
of making the petty alterations which
the caprice of the authorities from
time to time deems necessary.
Just recently an Admiralty order was
issued which directed that in future
the tapes on sailors neckerchiefs and
jumpers must be hand-sewn not ma
chine-sewn, as heretofore. Just pre-
yious to this it had been decreed that
Jack must button his flannel shirt at
the back of the neck instead of at the
side. and that the sleeves of the jump
ers should join the body of that gar
ment at a particular spot. There were
further regulations as to the position of
medals and badges, but the gem of the
batch was a regulation which decreed
that in future sailors must lace their
trousers from the top downward in
stead of from the bottom upward to the
waist.
For the information of those not
familiar with the details of naval toy
gerry it may be explained that Jack does
not use suspenders Instead of them
he uses a short lace at the back of the
waist Consequently, the Admiralty
Instructions in the matter are equiya-
lent to telling Jack that in future he
must lace his boots downward instead
of in the usual way. What can be the
object of this alteration it is difficult to
divine, as the jumper covers the lace in
such way that no one can tell whether
the bow is tied at the bottom or the
top
For years past the men of the lower
deck have been endeayoring to get re-
dressed some of their grievances in re-
lation to rations, pensions, &C., but the
spare time of my lords seems to be so
fully devoted to the consideration of
dress reforms of the kind mentioned
that they are unable to deal with more
important matters.

GRACEFUL Walk.
French walk Gives us Some
Good ADVICE.

Good Advice.
To be thoroughly graceful, long
steps and quick, short steps should
be equally avoided. remarks a
Frenchwoman. a stiff walk is al
SO very ungraceful, and that is the
great fault of English girls. They
walk too stif1y and take too long
strides. Spanish women have a
very pretty walk naturally, as also
have italian country girls and all
accustomed to carrying heavy
weights on their heads. To exer-
else walking weight on the head
is very good lesson. You must
not be content, however, 10 walk
straight before you without letting
the weight fall from your head.
You must turn backward and for
ward and from side to side. as
Italian country girls do when they
carry heir wafer jafs rom the zsll !.
and can turn in all directions with
out drop of water being spilled
from the jar on the head. More
marriages are made up at the well
in Italy than at any other public
place. Young rustic fellows stand
by the well to watch the girls fill
their jars and carry them away on
their heads with grace given only
to them, and the most graceful
among them has the most admirers
from whom to choose her hus-
band. The French are also very
graceful walkers. Study your
walk, girls. Take dancing lessons
to begin with, and then repeat
your lessons before your long
toilet glass. A pretty walk is
beauty in itself and everyone can
acquire this beauty. Do it, then
at e-now-without losing an
other daY.
