BIRTH OF A FASHION PLATE.
Modern Art Libel on Women's Taste
Which All True Men
Must Resent.

Ali for the good old times when ar
fists, real artists, could be persuaded
to design a costume. One of the prin-
cipal items CT expense TO a lady of old
Italy used TO be the retainer" she paid
10 Da Ninci, Bramante, or some
other artist Of note, to furnish her with
a design for her court and other dresses
OF ceremony. says Self-Culture.
To-day some one who can draw is
given an idea by a costumer-thati is, by
some one who has made or cut dresses
under some other costumer's tefelage.
Neither one has studied or cares aught
for art, proportion, harmony, or the
other superfuities; they are cos
tuners; what have they to do with
such details? A wonderful assemblage
of ideas is the result, a CONNECTION IN
silks, satins, chiffons and laees. These
IDEAS and materials are beautifully and
painfully drawn apon paper and draped
upon an alleged female figure at least
seven feet tall, with head slightly
turned, auburn hair, sylphlike waist,
a stage smile and a background of
palms and ferns.
This drawing being reproduced upon
thousands and thousands of sheets, lol
fashion plate is born, with the name
of the great designer in the left-hano
corner, the password, the hall mark
f Every woman, or rather, nearly every
woman, studies it, admires it, and, b,
she lean or fat, tall or short, her mex
dress must be like that. Pehchanee hel
+ dressmaker has not signed her sou
away entirely and protests feebly thaf
that special style is not adapted to hel
patrons particular figure; but for hel
effrontery she may lose a customer
That dress has to be made in that wa,
and in none other.

A MORAL TRIBE.
Among the Caribs of Central Anne rica
All Sins Are Punished by
Starvation.

In the whole wide world there is not
a class of people to be found who in
fict seyerer punishment upon them
selves than the Caribs of Central Amer
lea. Their religion, which is one of
the most peculiar kind, demands self
punishment for sins Intentionally or
unintentionally committed, says Pear
sons Weekly.
The punishment takes the form of
starvation and close confinement.
If the sin be in the form of a lie, nj
matter whether it is calculated to in.
jure another or not, the sinner goes
without either food or drink for three
days, at the end of which il is be.
lieved that the offender has paid the
penalty for his or her sin.
disappearing and using bad language
is punishable by absolute starvation 70,
two days. Assault, drunkenness and
other serious sins call for four DAYS
starvation for one week. three DAYS
starvation for the second week. an,
two days starvation for the thiri ,geek
and one days starvation in the fourtl
week.
All sins are punished with starvation
For that reason crime is very low
among the Caribs, who are among III,
best behaved and most truthful peopl,
in the world.

There shouldn't be any difficulty in

There is. I've tried 40 and can't get
one to suit"
"You must be very hard TO please"
ut isn't that" sighed the manager.
I'm all right. but its this way. The
old man insists on having the elevator
boy wear a uniform and be furnishes il.
Uniforms cost money, and when the

Could Not Keep Them Out

During the time when the alien expul-
sion Law was in force in the Transvaal
three Cinnamon arrived at the little Dor
der town of Volkrust. The Transvaal au-
thorities had not had much experience of
Cinnamon up to this, but they were not
taken with the appearance of the new
corners and promptly put them back over
the Natal border. For the next three
weeks the police at different points of the
line were engaged in returning the China
men to the colony. They were dragged
out of freight cars, securely slowed away
under tarpaulin covers; were rooted out
of transport wagons journing along the
main road; were picked out OF gangs Of
Kaffirs, with their faces darkened so as
to resemble their companions, travelling
in cattle trucks. The Cinnamon retained
all their normal cheerfulness. After a
time the Cinnamon were seen no more in
those parts and they passed out of the
minds of the officials. But later on three
strange Cinnamon were unearthed in
Jeppertown doing a fiourishing business
among the Kaffirs, but the alien law was
just then being quashed and they were
allowed to abide where they were. The
incident supplies curious illustration of
the yellow mans persistence.
