1t is one of the school laws in Boston,
as in other cities, Gays Harper's Bazaar,
that no pupil may come from a family
any member of which is ill with a conta-
gious disease.
One day recently Willie k appeared
before his teacher and said:
MY sisters got the measles, sir
"Well, what are you doing here, them"
replied the teacher. severely. Don't you
know any better than to come to school
when your sister has the measels? Now.
you go home and stay there until She is
wel!''
The boy, who is a veritable little rogue,
| went to the door, where he turned with a
twinkle in his eye, and said:
If you please, sir, my sister lives in
Philadelphia"
The fashion of padding the hips, Gays
the Boston Globe has become so common
now that 1 must speak of it as an estab-
lished custom. Some people seem to have
horror of it, but then, when one thinks
of it, what is there so much worse about
ting a little hustle at the back, and yet
| the most decorous of us wear those now,
for a dress Is not fashionable without one.
And So my lady pad your hips If nature
has not been sufficiently lavish with you,
and be in vogue. All sorts of things are
used for these pads. Some use hair but
that is heating and unwholesome, others
swansdown, which is all very well in win
ter, but something like eternal torment for
heat in the summer
Some have layers of cotton batting but
that is heavy and drags one down, and
| some have gathers of crinoline or can
vas, but these are bulky and always get
ting awry, so that the best things to use
are the little pads that come prepared like
hustle of fine feather bone run into satin
or silk like the little bustles for the back
of course, the padded hips give a very
small effect to the waist, which itself is
drawn in very tight just at the belt line.
and the rest of the figure left to spread
out as large as it wishes above, short cor
sets being worn to give the effect.
The hip pads should be made very secure
| to the belt or the effect is grotesque with
them slipping all about or getting out of
place to make one look as if one had a
tumor The best way is to have them
made into each dress and fastened securely
! to the belt
Some hip pads come in one with the bus
tie for the back, and this is the best form
of all, as it looks more like the natural
figure than any Of the separate affairs
new shape. Her tailor-made gown is cut
| to show. every curve of her figure. She
| has given up flowing draperies. Full
| skirts dnd pulled sleeves are now things
| of the past.
The slender woman is in despair. 1t is
the plump girl who is in fashion.
Padding has become an art Figures

the gown as well as gowns are made TO
! fit the figure.
The new skirt of the tailor-made gown
! Is conspicuous. 1t bears a striking re-
semblance to the pull-back skirt worn
about fifteen years ago 1t requires prac-
tice to walk with grace and ease when
wearing it. 1t is fitted this year to the
| figure with the same care as the bodice
| 1t must fit the hips without the SUCCESS
ton of a wrinkle and must really cling
to the figure until the knees are reached
II 1T aims to be in the very latest fash
ion. Below the knees the skirt flares a
trifie in order that walking may be made
a possibility.
1t is to the lining of this skirt that much
| OF its clinging effect is due. The lining
Is made separately from the skirt In
fact, is attached to it only at the waist
band, and is fitted as carefully over the
hips as the skirt proper. The bottom of
the lining of the skirt is often most elab-
orately trimmed, and frequently is finish
ed with small accordion-plaited rufle.
Rose and Charlie, says Clara Belle in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, were walking
up Fifth street when Miss Haughtley
swung by them. what a stunning fig

like laced figure" returned Rose, with a
acidity. Charlie ought to know better by
4 this time than TO talk about one woman
to another, and he said So but this only
made Rose madder. You think l am
merely hateful, because I am jealous of
that big thing, do you? Well, she is lac
ed, just the samer' az don't believe it,
said Charlie, who was old enough to know
several other things, too; some women
with those big rounded hips have natural
ly very small waists, and I believe she Is
that sort of a woman. You can tell il
from the set of her back, too, a woman
who laces is always a little round Shout
dered, and they stick out in front, too
You can't see her front from this view
said Rose, and she laughed a little All
OF sudden there was a little flash on
the pavement just at the edge of Miss
Haughtley's skirt. Rose flushed and her
eyes sparkled.
You say she does not lace" said she,
do you want TO bet?" whats the
good of betting when you can't find out?"
said Charlie, sulkily, thinking to himself
that after a girl IS engaged she isn't half
so careful to be nice as before. Gust YOU
try betting, and 1 will see that you find
out" said Rose, thinking thoughts that
echoed Charles. well, three pounds
of chocolates" she added, and the bet
was made. Rose stepped briskly forward
as Charlieg rumbled: That's the way
with girl when they want a man to
bet; the bet is all on her side" Rose nut
her toe on that little flash on the flag
