s,,ir, waists For winter Wear.

What is more attractive to the eye
than well.fitted plain tailored waist
with all accessories in accordance!
There are some women more suited
to wear this style of apparel than
others When the tailored girl Is PFC
tured by us we see tall, well-propor-
toned figure, with the coltfurc severely
arranged, even tightly drawn from the
face. into a huge knot at the nape OF
the neck, or dressed on the crown OF
the head. but without the frowsy pom
padour or clustering rlnglets.
The neck piece should be OF the So
we're sort. either to match the waist or
one of the many pretty varieties
shown in the shops at present. Inc
linen stock with the black satin tie
is decidedly mannsh and severe, but
then we have the pretty drawn bands
or turnovers to be worn with the
palmer stock and give touch OF re-
finement and neatness so much souSh
for.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The labor is lard and their whole

Sex in handwriting is the study
which promises new fame TO Alfred
Benet. already distinguished as the di-
rector of the Psycho-Physlological Lab

psychologist of worldwide reputation.
To determine the extent to when
handwriting discovers the sex of the
writer of the pen Professor Benet has
appealed for data to the two most
prominent psychologists in France
Messrs. Cremelrex Jamin and Ello.
He has collected samples of the writ

MEN THAT MOTHERS MAKE.

Show me that boy who nightly bows at
mothers knee to pray;
Who wears her golden precepts IN his
heart
Who laws his hand in hers and seeks her
counsel day by day;
. Whose path in life from hers lies not
apart,
AND thus his horoscope III cast:
His name will live among the last"
Show me that youth whose good right arm
encircles mothers form
Whose lips fear not to kiss her faded
cheek:
Who lives for her; to shield her and pro
tect her from all harm;
Who comforts her when she is old and
weak,
And in the coming years | see
man for all eternity.
Show me that man whose lie is pure; that
man who claims success:
Show me that man who treads the ways
OF fame;
That man whose deeds adorn the name oi
truth and uprightness;
Whose soul knows not the tarnished
blush of shame,
And in his glory thus arr1ycd
Behold a man that mother made.

The CuT of the Season.

Cuffs are the centre of interest in the
sleeve line this season. Otherwise
there is no radical departure in out
line or architecture. The baggy puff.
which is slightly diminished by means
of cores, has been shifted somewhat
more toward the elbow. But the cuff
of the season, those specimens espe-
cially which adorn the more dressy
costumes and coats, seem to combine
the ideas and all the different eras in
the history Of dress. and are indeed
glowing tributes to the ingenuity Of
the sartorlal artist.

Men "Maidseryan,." In London.

English housewiyes-at least several
thousand OF them-are solving the
vexed servant question by engaging
men to do the work hitherto allotted
to women. IL Is estimated that In
London alone there are upward Of 5000
men employed as cooks, ''parlormalds."
"chambermaids." and "maids OF all
work" The men employed come from
the continent. particularly from switz-
erland, Germany, France and Italy.
II is about a year since this move
ment was started by an enterprising
employment bureau. 1t had on Its
books several hundred restaurant wait
ers in need OF jobs. and the jobs We're
not TO be had. At the same time there
was an unprecedented servant girl
famine. With considerable enterprise
the agercy prevailed upon some WON
en- to try the men. The experiment
has been In every way success. .-.
