Ordinary shirt waists may be diver

lte fancy at present is to edge the CEN
tire band with a full frllling an inch or
more wide, and finished with a narrow
hem or edging Of lace. A simple shirt

full. The usual length for the single
deep flounce is twelve inches, and the
width allowed is from two to two and
one-half times the width Of the skirt.
Bias rudles are not used. Narrow ruff

group only is provided with q small
heading. Deep founces are usually
put on with concealed heading. The
same rules apply for putting any kind

surface over which they are to be
fitted should be measured off in quar-
ters. Each quarter should then be
gathered and carefully fitted into each
quarter Of the skirt.-Harper's Bazaar.

her consent Sons will once in a while
get a refractory Western notion into
their heads, and imagine that since
they are middle-aged, and have for
many years kept the pot boiling for

need consult no wishes but their own.
1t Is in the power of a mother to
cause the arrest Of such a son for dis

pointing out instances in which that
lot has not uniformly fallen to her
Chinese sister; but careworn faces are
rare in China, and one OF the most
common sights is that of women

Chinese history is not minute enough

THE ESSENTIALS OF BEAUTY.
Some Things in Which the American
Girl Mikes Mlstake.


Girl Makes "A Mistake.
There is distinctive something-a
manner OF dressing or a correct car
riage-that makes the American girls
head the list by their natural right Of
precedence, writes Amelia Bingham.
in the Chicago Times-Herald. They
have their faults, to be sure, but such
faults as are easy to correct. Loud
voices are the commonest lapses into
the unbeautiful and simple. l never
realized this so much as 1 did on my
last voyage from the other side OF the
Atlantic On shipboard there was u
crowd Of girls who had been finishing
their educatiOns abroad. They sat on
deck and chartered like magpies, their
voices rising shrill and high and graf
ing feorfully on the nerves OF any lis
tener blessed with fine sensibilities.
They we're pretty girls, charming, styl-
ish, in splendid health, robust and ath.
letic But their voices were something
fearful 10 listen to. A low, sweet
voice, carefully modulated, always be-
speaks the lady. A voice that is rasp-
ing, quick of action, high strung, ner-
vously pitched, viii undo the beauty
ambitions OF many years.
The matter of eating forms a large
part Of ones beauty rules and regula-
tions. TO my way of thinking we
Americans eat too much and do not
eat often enough. We wait for our din
ners at night until we are ravenously
hungry, and we overload the stomach.
The result is a forld, unbeautiful COM
pleXion, dull eyes, languid movements
asd wits that If not exactly wool
gathering, are certainly not as bright
as they should be. In the old country
meals are lighter. In the morning it
is toast and tea and a bit of fruit, later
a little chop again cup Of tea with
bread and butter-always just enough
to satisfy the stomach, not enough to
cause it to oyerw6rf and to bring on
dyspepsia, that surest complexion
wrecker OF all. The time between
meals is too long with us. We are so
hungry that we are sure to overeat
and oyereating is deadly. There is no
mistake about it.
Fresh air is a bcautiher that is not
appreciated by the average woman
Good health is, of course, the first prin-
c.pIc Of all beauty ambitions. Without

strs up circulation, brings encourage
ment to the lungs and instils one with
new life.
