WOMEN GROWING WISER.

Are We womanlSind growing wiser,
OF is it merely the inevitable turning
Of the wheel Of fashion that has
brought in the modern corset? Certain
it is that Fashion has decreed that we
shall no longer have small wasp
like waists. The sculptors and paint
ers who have all along been telling us
of the beauties of the natural I'M
.hampered waist will say; what have
we been telling you" and viii point
out to us the examples Of the world of
art and the figures Of the old masters.
But then we knew all that, and most
of us wished for this happy period to
come, but what can a woman DO when
Fashion sets the pace? Very few Of
Us have the courage of our convictions
When it comes to disregardng the
mandates Of that terrible ruler. OF
course we had the plea of the necessity
of something to hang and drape our
clothes on, and the need of a certain
amount Of support but the fact re.
mains that thousands of women and
girls have been hurried to untimely
graves or sustained serious internal in,
juries from tight laclng.
The modern corset is a mere band
Of Whalebone and ribbons compared
1 with the steel-ribbed, unyieldlne
! "strait-jackets" worn some years ago
f'9he corset Of to-day is made on entirely
different lines, being short, of soft ma
terial with but a couple of bones, ant
it is shaped on hyglenic and physiologi
cal principles, giving the internal or
gans a proper amount Of space anC
freedom, and allowing ample play fot
the movements Of the ribs and uppe
chest in breathing.
Probably one Of the most pr0lif
agents in bringing about this fortunate
change is the modern devotion to out
door games, pastimes and pursuits
No woman squeezed up in an old-fash
toned corset such as our mothers wor
: could, even had she dreamed of sue
j. a thing, walk a half mile, let alone ruI
! and stoop, strike at a ball, manipulat
a fishing rod, or paddle a canoe An
the results are most gratifying, 70

WELL-DREssED WOMEN.

There was a day not so very long
gone by when the clever woman was
not supposed to be the well-dressed,
we'll groomed one. If woman was
strong she was supposed to be
blousey in costume. If she had a great
intellect she was usually set down as
careless in looks, and professional
women were not even supposed to
know what the word fashion" meant.
Nowadays this is disproyed.
CO to any meeting in which women
speak, or put in an appearance at a
womans club, where the majority OF
the fair sex are doing something in
the world Of literature or art, and you
1Will see that in the matter of fashion
and style they are able to hold their
own with the most feather-headed but
ter1y of fashion.
They bring their common sense, their
knowledge of the world, and the in
come their wits provide them to bear
on dress, and so many of them have
acquired the subtle art Of putting on
clothes. virtues which the Parisiennes
and Viennese have claimed for their
own. Moreover, they are acquiring
what the best bred women only did
acquire at one time-the art Of know
inc when to wear their clothes; in fact,
the suitability Of raiment.
1t is not a difficult task to dress be-
.comingly with pretty face and good
figure. but oce of tie features q our

draw others out while saying little
and who listens to what is said with

It is, however, In the power Of any

In forgetting self and showing real
interest In the person with whom you
arc thrown. Almost every person has
some fovorlte topic of conversation;
learn it, and If you cannot talk lntelll-
gently on the subject, listen attentiyely.
When talking, the voice should rot

will forget himself If you interest him.

SERVING COMPANY" TABLE.

SEkNlNG 'COMfAN1 TABLE.
A few simple rules may be laid
down for serving the table As a gen
eral rule the maid removes the large
service plates used under the soup
plates at the time she brings the flied
plates. Sometimes when the service
plates are unusually handsome they
are allowed to remain on the table I'M
til the dessert is served, so that the
guests may always have plates before
them.
The maid passes the larger dishes
and plates by hand; the smaller dishes
holding olives, bonbons and sugar are
passed on q tray. she serves all Of the
dishes from the left Tea, coffee and
beverages are served from the rlch-.
The guest may never take the plate
from the waitress, but must permit he.
to place it On the table before him.
Finger bowls should be used cnly
with fruit courses. When the dish is
bit out of the ordinary 1t is quite tho
thing for the hostess to cause herself
70 be first served, when she begins 20
eat, thus demonstrating to the guests
the proper way 10 eat It. When the
hostess is not served first it is the rule
to begin with the lady next to her On
the right and begin with a different
guest with each course, so that no one
shall be always last.
The French always serve the host or
hostess first, q custom calculated to
put the guests at ease. For luncheon
It is best to serve hot rolls tucked into
napkins, rather than bread on plates.
A popular innovation is the thin SAND
witch Of bread and butter - Chicago

business man, who formerly res ded

Portsmouth.
The discovery was made by Rudy
kountz and he promptly called his
man to time, and upon the latter's
urgent appeals to save him from
falling into the clutches of the law,
kept the matter quiet. Garrison,
however, did not learn that he had
been duped until he sent the check
to the First National Bank. He
was astonished TO learn that the man
had never had an account there.
Friday evening he was quite reliev-
ed upon receiving letter from him
dated Kenova, in which he explain
ed all and promised he would make
good the amount.
The fellow came to Garrison with
a hard luck story. He needed mon
ey and that badly. Garrison, ever
accommodating, agreed to cash his
check. The amount was not very
large but sufficient to answer the
mans wants. and he left the place
light hearted and happy. He is a
total abstainer and did not stop to
spend even five cents with his new
ly found friend in need. He is be-
lieved to be gambler, however,
and is thought to have dropped
