FASHIONS CHANGE FIGURE.
Coming Styles Are Calculated to Make
Women Appear Quite Broad
In Shoulder.

Woman is the anatomical chameleon,
She changes her measurements with
each season.
To the initiated male mind she be-
comes long or short WASTED, sloping or
square shouldered, big or low busted,
without any apparent inconvenience
a demonstration that the operation,
Whatever it may be, is painless one.
But she is as essentially different in
each phase as though she had been born
again.
II you study the lady carefully this
year, says the New York World. you will
md that she has lost practically three
inches in length of line from neck to
waist (from 1S to less than 15H inches),
that she has gained fully two inches OF
shoulder. and that from neck to toe in
front she has lost something of that
seemingly interminable line which was
la mode last season.
Why? The reasons are not far to seek.
Gowns are no longer simply bouffant

up to the knee; they have widened in

HORSE HAS A HAPPY FACE.
Chicago Equine Driven to Grocery
Wagon Is Dear Friend Of Nu-
merous School Children.

Said the man whose equine acquaint-
ances outnumber the humans he knows
intimately, and who seems glad of it,
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean:
There is wise old horse belonging
to grocer in Wentworth avenue, and
he might appropriately be called the
children's friend. The store is close to a
schoolhousc. and this horse friend of
mine spends much Of his time standing
in front of the store when his wagon is
not In commission. He has a habit of
standing with his forefeet ON the side
walk gazing into the store. At such
times the children fairly swarm on him.
They jump into the wagon and hold the
reins; they climb on top of and walk
underneath the kindly animal. and he
looks benignantly down upon them.
and is often rewarded for his good ma
ture with bits of sugar and candy and
other things that horses like. There are
lew happier faces in town, II you know
how to read horse faces, than this OF mv

RECRUITING FOR THE NAVY
Officers Have a Peculiar Fashion of
Obtaining Expense Money from
the Government.

Officers of the navy who have charge
of the recruiting for that service have
devised means of extracting money
from the federal treasury, says Wash
ington report. According to a decision
recently made by Comptroller Trace
| well 1t Is unlawful to pay the expenses
| incurred by officers detailed for recruit
ing duty. He holds that all they are en-
titled to receive is their mileage, amount
Ing to eight cents for each mile actually
Travelled. Mileage will not cover the
expenses because most of the journeys
are short and the stays in a particular
city rather long.
The plan is to send the officers around
Robin Hoods barn. When it is desired
that an officer shall open a recruitingof
fice in Baltimore for a week or ten days
he is to be ordered to st. Louis and then
to Baltimore His stay in st. Louis is
to be limited to about five minutes. Then
he is to go on to Baltimore BY the op-
Grafton the officer comes into possess
sion of about $16O. out of which he has
to pay about $50 for railroad fare. The
remainder will pay his expenses for a
two weeks stay in Baltimore.
After he has done" Baltimore Pitts
burg may be his next stopping place.
Instead of going there from Baltimore
and getting about $24 he. under the new
plan, will journey to Denver and return
before beginning operations in Pitts
burg, and so on to the end of the recruit-
ing itinerary.
lis believed that the comptroller will
not dare question the discretion of the
secretary of the navy to send an officer
wneresoever he thinks his services are
required and that the scheme will work.
IL 1t will not, then recruiting will have
to come to an end until congress can act.
That would be a calamity. as the navy |

of the curriculum will be lectures on

that they shall always wake up cheerful,

DAINTY TRIPLES FOR BABY
Small Luxuries Which seem to Be in
Extraordinary Demand at the
Present Time.

II there is one person who receives
more presents than bride it is q baby.
No one likes to visit in the home of
friends who have new baby without
taking present of some sort to that
all-important person. And by the time
every one has given Sir Baby some
trifle. he is likely to have enough dupli-
Gates to start a miniature department
store.
The Washington Star says that one
Of the conceits for a baby who Is old
enough to hold spoon and feed himself
Is food pusher, which comes in a set
with spoon. 1t is silver piece with
handle like spoon or fork, but having
in place of bowl a silver bar several
inches long with which the small per-
son pushes food on to his spoon. 1t
teaches him not to use his fingers and
enables him to keep his food within the
limits of the plate instead of decorating
the table linen with it.
A novel bottle holder for the baby
who likes to toss his bottle to the floor
when he has finished with it is delight
to mothers. 1t is a metal frame which
can be attached to the arm of high
chair or carriage, and from which hangs
a sort of cage-like case for the bottle.
This holder swings in any direction, and
when the bottle is fastened in baby can
drink to his hearts content, and, try
as he may. he cannot throw 1t away.
In dainty white satin heart-shaped
boxes are sets of bib pins In gold enamel,
and in all designs, connected with fine
gold chains, are baby pins for the back
of dresses and slips.
Silver cups are given to children for
christening gifts, as well as small-sized
loving cups appropriately engraved
Mugs Of heavy English decorated
china make useful presents for babies |

A plain gold bracelet clasping invisi- |
bly, has little ring inserted in the top
for rosettes of baby ribbon. This is for
baby to wear when he is dressed in his
prettiest frock. While babies are not
the most successful ring wearers, often
times a little gold band is given to a
child for christening gift or for birth

A SONG FOR THE WEARY.

Life Is but world of battles:
You must fight them would you win:
with the idleness that prattles,
Victory has never been;
Then why should you be complaining
III in one attempt you fail?
Each endeavor gives you training.
TIL at last you shall prevail.
Nuggets of success are living
Underneath life's rugged road:
Dug and dig, and keep on trying
TIL you strike the precious lode.
Skies above you will be bluer
AS along the way you tread,
Friends around you will be truer,
So be brave and go ahead.
Time is fieeting, so be doing
Any task there is for you;
fou are stronger while accruing
Gain of good and wisdom, too.
Be not with the drones and shirkers.
As through life they idly stroll;
Victory belongs to workers,
Strive and you viii reach the goal.
