this arrangement heightens the slender CT

not accentuated, and the bust Is low, but

The same artistic and conventional en-
breidery design marks the edge Of the entire

the shoulder it serves as cap to conceal
the beginning of a straight flounce OF ac-

and just above a four-inch hem is wide
insert of exquisite black chantilly lace, Dor
dered on either side with a series of ex-

Even the corsage presents plisse effect,
and for trimming there are irregular bands
of fancy black chantilIy, starting from the
shoulder, under the arm and at the waist,
all conyerging at point just to the left of
the center Of the bust, where the ends are
concealed under a chou Of the lace.
The sleeves are delightfully."- unique. A full
puff Of the handsome chantilly falls from
cape of lace trimmed crystalline, and at
the top there is twist and knot, while at
the wrist the delicate fabric is drawn into

leaves the front of the hair exposed and at

THE PASSING OF THE SPANK.

& What has become of the old-fashioned
epanking-ths kind that mother used to
give? 1t seems to have gone out Of fashion,
and other modes Of punishment have come
into vogue.
1t is difficult to believe that fashion ex-
tends even to the punishment Of a child, but
so it would seem. Spanking" is no longer
good form, and so it has gone out Of favor
and other modes of punishment have become
popular. 1t is to be noticed that with each
change parents ana teachers are not only
applying more humane treatment, but are
resorting more and more to persuasion and
reason, instead of force.

NEWEST STYLES In HAIRDRESSING,

From the styles In hairdressing worn it
is safe to predict the coming ultrafash-
ionable couture. The hair is worn almost
as low on the forehead as that of Queen
Alexandra's present dressing. Instead, of
the bang, however, there are soft, fat puffs
and a part at the side.
Many persons are using adjustable false
hair under the puffs to produce the effect Of
mass and to keep the hair in place.
Hairdressers in England named these ad-
ditions coronation transformations, and
assured their titled customers that at the
dramatic moment when they heard the
words, "Peeresses, assume your coronets,"
they needed to have no fear Of their hair be-
coming disarranged with one of these pieces
deftly tucked beneath the puffs.
In America, where we are constitutionaliy
unable to assume coronets, these fringes
promise to become exceedingly popular for
automobiling.

even more so than last year Although tbe

of the process.

lower strand, and then make a soft loop low

The upper strand should be arranged in

Mileage OF Dances.

Every person who dances an ordinary
waltz travels 1000 yards, according to
French statistician who has recently been
studying the subject.
This seems a long journey, but a longer
one is taken by persons dancing aquadrille,
for, says the statistician, leach Of tie
eight persons who take part in this dance
travels almost two kilometers." After the
waltz comes the nlazurka, representing a
journey Of $50 yards; then the polka, rep
resenting one of 900 yards, and finally the
fourstep, representing one OF 800 yards.
Every person who goes to a large ball
which begins at 10 o'clock at night and
ends at o'clock in the morning and
dances every dance, including the final CO.
tillon, takes not less than $4,000 steps.
Let anyone walk this distance and he viii
readily see that dancing is a more vigorous
exercise than is generally supposed.

Manufacturers of process or renovated
