shield front was the distinguishing char
acteristic of the other bodice, which was
sketched in dove gray cloth and had trim
ming Of black velvet and tucking. Few
shield front effects are worn, the decided
preference being for blouse forms. To
these some women object because they so
often are worn with skirts that have
belt TO match. The objection is really to
the belt, on the score that it will make a
wearer seem short WASTED, but as the
belts now are arrg -Hd this fault does
not exist. In the coz vt made with
q stitched belt to mai belt is shap-
ed to narrow towards ront and there
cross under the tip of ,e dropped blouse.
TO avoid a shortwaisted look second
belt, often no more than a cord, must be
worn over the cloth one and be pushed to
its lower edge. This outside belt is often
gold cord, or a narrow band Of gold prick
ed out in scarlet and black. Often the
collar is made to match the outer belt.

Listen" he said, speaking rapidly.
"The kings troops were in full retreat
when we reached the road. We did not
keep with our companies. but each one
found shelter as he was able behind
trees, walls or fences. l met Henry as
was crossing a field. and we took
shelter together and awaited the COM
ing of the troops We had just got set
tied when Henry caught sight of a
flanking party coming right down on
us. He called to the men near us to
run for their lives, and at the same time
we both jumped the wall and ran for a
house which stood in the field just OPP
posite. l reached the opposite wall in
safety and turned round to look for
Henry, but he was not with me- At
that moment the troops came round a
sudden turn in the road and sent some
shots in our direction. At the risk Of
being shot, stood up and looked across
the road He must have been hit by
the fanking party, for he lay just by
the wall"
Suddenly heard the sound of a
horses feet coming up the road at a
furious pace. l sat up and listened.
Somebody Is riding on an important
errand," | said to myself Nearer and
nearer came the sound. and the rider,
whoever he was, drew rein at our door.
Then there We're a murmur of voices
and an opening and shutting of doors,

for them to prefer the girl who. in her
little caressings and fascinating, lover
like ways, has, on account of her short
ness, to look up at him for the purpose
of peering into his loye-lit eyes.
Tall women are usually dignified.
and appear to scorn kittenish ways,
and although they manage to draw ad-
miration it is rather of the awe-inspir-
ing kind.
No doubt, owing to the smallness of
stature. and pretty, playful ways, men
give to little women more petting than
the tall, dignified woman demands. The
lovers oft-repeated expression, "You
little darling" could hardly be applied
to the very tall girl without tickling
the risibilities of those who overheard
ii.
This is certainly very hard and looks
like a punishment for being tall. but
who can help her stature? 1t is fact,
too, that men are rather shy about APP
preaching tall women because of the
restraint which they feel but cannot
explain.
They are under the impression-why
it is hard to tell-that tall women are
built to be commanders. and they are
in their natural element when left
alone in their reserved dignity and
musings in their lonely wanderings.

disclose a host of hGd effects. The latter
are not especially striking for originality,
perhaps because the boa fancies of the
past two winters have been so varied and
pretty, but they make big addition to
costume and when wisely chosen are
very becoming A lot Of new furs of
snowy whiteness are called by fanciful
names, and are most becoming to the per-
son whose complexion keeps clear no mat
ter what the temperature, but the way
they bring out into conspicuousness nose
or cheeks that become bit pinched or
blue is something to make the judicious
pause. Few new boas are round for it
is decided that the round boa takes from
the length of the neck. The better kind
is slightly fiat and shaped to be a little
deeper at the back and to taper to ends
at the front. A brand new sort has a
collar-like part rounded deep in front and
fastening at the back Long ends tipped
with claws hang at the back, and often
an inner collar is ready to stand high and
close if upheld by a stock scarf. The
furs preferred for boas are Russian S; le,
Alaska sable, stone marten, blue fox and
lynx. In their order as sketched those
shown here were blue fox. Alaska sakle,
black bear and stone maEten.
One novelty in stylish peltry that
should have mention is the fur waist
coat. Close texture furs are used, and
the material is as much trimmed oyerIaid
with lace and the rest, as though it were
mere cloth. Muffs when carried are
large, fiat and often made of three kinds
of fur. Ermine and chinchilla remain a
popular combination, though the result
rarely is pretty.
Long fur coats are fewer than for
many past winters. Jaunty tight jackets
have replaced them in large degree, and
are the striking fancy Of the season
Three of these are put here by the artist

of white panne velvet, buttoning double,
with pearl studs. may be worn under an
eton cut like very low dress coat. A
scarlet wGistcoat belt, slashed with gold,
gives a pretty finish TO a coat Worn open
over the belt. Such a coat is usually on
the eton order, and is cut up in point
at the back to show there the scarlet and
gold. The striking eolors used consti-
tute the most surprising feature of the
acceptance of those waistcoats. One
sketched in to.day's second large picture
was scarlet with black and gilt trim
mings, and was quite the thing to ac-
company a gown of tan CLOTH
The prompt Endorsement of these waist
coats should be interpreted as a sign OF
rebellion on the part of women with trim
waists. They found the bodice belt in
many varieties increasing rapidly in num-
bers, and they didn't approve of disguis-
ing their fine outlines with it, so jumped
at the first satisfactory substitute that
offered. Girdles and bodice belts remain
in great favor with women TO whose fg-
ures they are suited, and their stylish
ness is sound. The seated woman of this
picture displays typical one, and her
jacket bodice alsois the general type of
what accompanies the belt. This belt
