Petticoats From Paris.

The group of gorgeousness in petit
coats shown in the large engraving,
straight from gay Paree, illustrates
to what extent they carry the elabora-
ton of trimming, of which they are
so fond. Knife pleatings, appliques,
frills, ruches, lace. ribbon and the
silk itself, all find place on these
chef d'oeuvres of lingerie. Silk is the
textile invariably used by the women
of Paris for their underskirts for ordi-
nary wear, and for state occasions and
for high toilets very rich brocades.
In shape they follow the trend OF
the fashionable outside skirt, having
very narrow cores and not exag-
gerated fare from the knees down.
The latest ones close on the side. A
broad founce is the most usual trim
ming for their bottoms, someti mes
graduating from the back and some
times straight around. Knife plating
is most used for these founces, and
in some cases this is done at inter
walls, leaving space for an embroidered
or lace inserting or applique.
Incrustations of velvet or silk, as
shown in one of this group. are also
very fashionable. They begin on the
founce and extend halfway up the
skirt.

THE GIRL in THE KHAKI DRESS

The men look back, the women stare;
The critics remarks are passing loud
As she wends her way through the gaping

But she hears them not and she cares much

She's one Of the first In a khaki dress.
She passes the cop on the shopping beat;
he smiles and points out into the street;
The color's the same" he says with grin,
The same as the mud she's walking in"
But she hears them not and she cares much
less-
She's one of the first in a khaki dress.

A Glass Of Water at Bedtime.

The human body is constantly un-
dergoing tissue changes. Water has
the power of increasing these changes,
which multiply the waste products,
but at the same time they are re-
moved by its agency, giving rise tc
increased appetite, which in turn pro-
vides fresh nutriment. If you do not
accustom yourself to drink water
regularly you are liable to have the
waste products form faster than they
are removed. Any obstruction to the
free working of natural laws at once
produces disease. Great weakness
and languor on rising in the morning
are generally due to large secretion
of these waste products, and the
remedy is to drink tumblerful oil
water either hot or cold-iust before
retiring This materially assists in
the process during the night and
leaves the tissues fresh and strong,
ready for the active work Of the next
day.

''You know how the commuter hates

at all hours of the day. Crowds of
men and women, too, hurry over the
crossings under the very noses of
horses, lodging the trolley cars push
ing and scrambling in that eternal
rush to get along and lose no time
about it. But the other day I saw a
regular small sized throng lose boat
in totally unnecessary manner.
"Just as I reached the curbing on
one side of street that lay between
me and the ferry, noticed a little
line of men and women pausing non-
chalantly on the near side and in a
moment I saw what was the matter.
A funeral procession was passing
slowly along with plenty of room be-
tween the carriages for folks to get
across. But the folks thought diff
ferently about it and waited for the
last carriage to get by"
"Did you go right on across?" some
one asked the woman.

too," she said.-New York Sun.
