Have the smallest Hands

The typical American woman Is said by
recent critics to have the smallest hands
in the world, notwithstanding popular sup
position crediting French women with this
distinction. Next come the women Of Aus
tria, Spain, France and Italy. Russians
have long but beautifully shaped hands.
while those of the Spaniards are often
spoiled by the thickness Of the fingers,
which are apt to round at the tips.
Hands of aristocratic English women are
apt to be well shaped, but are somewhat
| long and frequently hard. No one, per-
| haps, takes such good care of her hands
as the French woman of fashion. German
women usually have large, fiat hands, with
| fiat fingers.
A remarkably pretty hand is that of the
present Duchess de Mouche. 1t is very
| small indeed, beautifully modelled and has
taper fingers, curved little at the extremi-
ties, and almond-shaped nails. The hand
of the Vicomtesse De Gallard is perfect.
recalling those of the statues Of Canova,
| which are even more beautiful and dis
| tinguished looking that those of the famous
Greek models.-Chicago Chronicle.

lids composed of frils of black Ice. The
sleeves reached to the elbows, and were
semi-tight fitting, finished off by double
frills of the lace. And the front of the
jacket was just one mass of foamy cas-
cades of black lace, intermiXed with knots
of rose-pink ribbon.
Now the above also would not be at all
an expensive model to copy, and could,
moreover, be quite easily accomplished by
an amateur dressmaker. There is prac-
tically no fitting needed for a dressing

sensible fashion. Needless to say, this

Where Patti Found Rest

"The Castle of Silence Is the graphic
description given of the home Of Nine Patti
and her husband, the late Signor Nicolinl.
at Craig-y-Nos, by correspondent of a
Vienna paper who was a friend of the
twain.
The noise crush and crowding to which
they were inevitably subjected in connec-
ton with the great tours Of the songstress
led them to love silence for its own sake
when they were at home. The silence Of
Craig-y-Nos was almost perpetual. Neither
of the pair ever sang, except for about
four days preceding one of Adelina PATHS

The Fair Sex

1t takes a woman TO pick a woman to
pieces.
We have noticed that married women
look more envious at girls who earn their
own money than at girls who are sur
rounded by young men.
Talk about thirty days of quail! A newly
married man in town praised a blueberry
pie his wife made, and he is now meeting
his thrty-second BURBERRY pie.
An Atchison mother has been fairly
beaming with joy for some time, and her
husband for the same length of time has
been so disheartened that even money in
the mail has failed to stir him up. The
cause? The only daughter has just be-
come engaged to be married, and this is
the way the news affects the parents.
When woman quits worrying about her
husbands flirtations it is time for her
friends to begin worrying about her.
You have never had your friendship for
a fat woman thoroughly tested until she
buys wheel.
When a woman kisses a man she is SO
eager that she never stops to raise her veil.
If any woman wrote down all the sayings,
signs, superstitions etc, that she involun-
tarily treats with respect her best friends
would want to try her for insanity-Atch-
