What the Month Tells.

A certain philosopher declared that a
woman is known by her mouth, not by
the words that issue therefrom, but by
the shape and color of the lips. and the
lines and dimDies that gather about this
important feature. He is supported in
his theory by physiognomists. who all
endeavor 20 prove that no woman with
the small red Tipped cupid bow mouth
so praised in song and story. was ever
intellectual or generous of heart. and, 1t
is consoling TO those whose mouths are
not in accordance with the lines Of beauty
laid down by the poets to be told that a
wide. straight mouth. with strong. white
teeth" denotes the woman of superior
intelligence. goodness Of heart. strength
of mind and a thousand and one other
sterling qualities which one likes TO think
she possesses.
IT Is the fashion at present for women 10
hold their lips slightly apart. This Is sup
posed 10 give that innocent, wistful, Won
dering expression which was the peculiar
nropertv Of the herones Of old fashioned
novels. but which bicycle riding and kin
dred modern amusements have caused TO
vanish. IT is difficult for the thin liDed,
determined woman TO acquire this trick,
but perseverance works wonders.-Balu-

ARainv-Day Novelty.

For years women have been taking les
sons in holding IN their skirts from the
ground. but they have not yet succeeded
In doing this gracefully. Until recently
they grabbed the goods in the back into
a bunch. pulled the folds tight and made
a scant line at the top Of the boots while
the fuIness dropped In front. Nothing,
all will admit. was more unbecoming.
Now the skirt IS drawn across the figure
so smoothly that every outline is easily
dislorned In order that the folds may
be held in place after the new idea. a
silver device has been invented whic-l
comes in the shape Of clasp. 1t IS
held by a small silver chain which IS
fastened 10 the belt and the chain can be
heightened and shortened ut will. thus
regulating the hang OF the skirt without
dificulty-Chicago News

DOORS WIDE OPEN
For the Entrance of Chinese TO the
Republic of Mexico.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Amoug the di-
plomatic officials who have recently ia
ken part in negotiating the China Mex
leo treaty of trade and immigration, it
is expected that this instrument viii
have an important influence in the de-
velOpment of the mines of Mexico. The
country is rich in silver and copper, but
it has been found difficult to secure
miners who could Withstand the hard
ships of life in the forests and noun
tains with such primitive surroundings,
1t is expected that the Chinese will take
to this kind of work readily and that
they viii develop the interior mines
much as they pushed the Pacific rail-
roads from the Pacific coast across the
Rockies The new treaty leaves the
coming of Chinese to Mexico entirely
without restriction and although there
have been no restrictions IN the past,
the free entry is now to be carried on
under the fostering care Of the two
governments. From the Chinese stand
point. the arrangement is very desira-
BILE, since it gives a western outlet to
the surplus Chinese population which
has been much needed since the United
States closed its doors against the Chi
nese. It is said the immigration of Chi
nese to Mexico can have no injurious
effect on the United States as the in
spection along the Mexican and Cana
dian boundaries is so rigid that very
few evade the exclusion laws.
