failure. Possibly this is due to the at

shirtwaist is the most comfortable of
garments, but it requires to be well

SO rare is a decent driver among the
cabmen of Paris that when an even
average reinsman is found his fortu-
nate employer is likely to take him
with him wherever he goes. Thus the
great actor, Coquelin, brought his
French coachman with him to Chica-
go, and boasted that he was a wonder
because he had not had his wheel
taken off more than once or twice in
year or two.
In Vienna the conditions are practi-
cally~ the same as in Paris, with the
difference that no man who can pos
sibly afford it will take a cab in the
Austrian capital unless it is drawn by
two horses.

The Petticoat for SIenderness.

The Petticoat for SIenderness.
In these days it is the ambition o.
most women to look as slight as pos
sible. A great help to this end is a
petticoat of silk stockinet, which fits
the figure like a skin from waist to
knee. These skirts are furnished with
detachable frills of silk, which button
on the stockinet portion, and give
from knee to ankle the fussy, frilly eff
feet demanded by fashion. Many wo-
men who pride themselves on their
slim figures decline to be burdened
with superfuous skirts, and with satin
knickerb no other petticoat is
needed but the loose silk lining which
is feature of the ordinary skirt. New
ertheless, two smart models for petit
coats are very alluring. One for even
ing wear is of white glace silk, edged
with three pinked-out' frills, and drap-
ed with a deep founce Of ecru point
d'esprit net, run with satin ribbon and
tied at intervals with rosettes of the
same. For morning wear with tailor
gowns a petticoat of glace silk, Dor
dered with one deep godet founce and
strapped with silk to match, is quite
the right thing. 49,.
