Then II dawned upon Miss Brown

THE FACE AND THE COLLAR.
Easy Means by Which a Stout Man
Nav Make Himself Look Thin.

May Make Himself Look Thin.
Men who do not want to look any
fatter in the face than they can help
have an easy means of accomplish
ing their purpose. Not all of them
are aware of the effect that may be
created by the form of a collar or
cravat.
THE stout man who wants to look
as thin as he can" said the haber-
dasher's clerk, fought to wear tie
OF the kind known as a four-in-hand
Preferably 1t should be dark in color
and drawn tight. That carries down
the line of the face and icngthens 1t
to a degree that tends to make the
face look thinner
Another aid to making man look
thin is in the height of his collar.
Stout men who want to look thin
should wear high collars and closed
ones. Any collar that opens in front
makes one look stouter under nearly
every circumstance. Such collars are
becoming to the thin men.
THE fat man should avoid the kind
of tie that has horizontal effect. This
will add pounds to his appearance
in his face at least. On the contrary,
this cross effect will make the thin
man look stout. New York Sun.

Promoters Are Shrewd.

Some time ago a beauty show was
organized at Milan. which was we'll
patronized, and eighty-three young la
dies were judged to be the standard of
beauty, which entitled them to oe
prize winners. But no prizes we're
forthcoming until the other day, when
an announcement was made by the
promoters of the show that they had
now opened a lottery for men only,
the condition being that the drawer
of the winning number must marry
one of the prize winners in the beauty
show, who would in turn receive a
proportionate share of the proceeds
of the beauty show as dowry. II
there are no marriages the promoters
are to have the proceeds of both

Yes, Children Do Lie.

Do children lie? Yes; constantly,
persistently, and universally. says Kin
dergarten Magazine. A child does not
tell the truth, because he could not,
He does not know the truth, and his
approximation to the truth is much
wagner than ours. And there are GER
tain qualities of his mind which make
1t inevitable that he should pervert
the truth. In the first place, truth is
synonymous with knowledge. He does
not know what truth is. In the second
place land 1t is the same with us),
children gradually approximate the
truth. They have their ideas of truth.
In the third place. the child's imagin.

COULD HER SUFFRAGE SUFFER?
Amusing Mistake Made by Australian
Woman Voter

Female suffrage sometimes leads to
amusing mistakes. A candidate at a
recent election in Australia, where
the women have votes. tells a story
in this connection. The constituency
was seaport town, and one of the
burning issues before the electors was
the question Of berthage rates. A
woman voter came to him and asked
whether he was in favor of imposing
these berthage rates, because II he
was she would take good care that
neither her husband nor herself would
vote for him. A little discussion of
the matter revealed the fact that the
woman was under the impression that
the question Of berthage rates related
to a poll tax on babies. That can
didate now doubts whether the aver.
age female voter is not under a de.
fusion, or, perhaps, say, under a spell.
