The Perfect FIGURE.

The height of person with per-
feet figure should be exactly equal the
distance between the tips of the mid
die fingers on either hand when the
arms are fully extended. Ten times
the length of the hand, or seven and
a half times the length of the foot, or
five times the diameter from one arm
pit to the other, should also give the
height of the whole body. The dis
lance from the junction OF the thighs
to the ground should be exactly the
same as from that point to the crown
of the head. The knee should be eX-
actly midway between the first-named
point and the ground at the heel. The
distance from the elbow to the tip
of the middle finger should be the
same as from the elbow to the middle
line of the breast From the top OF
the head to the level of the chin should
be the same as from the level OF the
chin to the arm pits from the heel to
toe.-Chicago News.

patient. That's the false tooth paid

Gloves, Wells and Chains.

One of the most stylish gloves
shown is of very fine quality pique
glace~kid, with two toned, three strand
embroidery on the back.
Another smart glove is gauntlet
affair of pique suede, with two toned
embroidery on the back and with the
gauntlets, which are two inches wide,
deliberately embroidered in colored
silks or tinsels.
The pastel shades, so long shown,
have been supplanted by gloves of far
more brilliant shades and, oddly
enough, the evening shades are far
less brilliant than those shown for or
binary day wear.
Few novelties are shown this sea,

a fiat dot or spot in the same color
woven into the veil, varying from
three. eighths of an inch to twice that
width in diameter.
Sets of coral chains-one for the

SEEN The beads are very small and
are worn on the street as well as else
where.

SWAIN WAS ALSO ATHLETE.
Youths knowledge of Sports Saves
Him at Crisis.

They were sitting together on the
big sofa in the drawing room, she with
her head on his shoulder and he with
his left arm around her waist and his
other hand fondly holding both OF
hers. For over half an hour, says the
Philadelphia Press, he had been frank
ly telling her the story OF his past lie
and resolving with her influence to
make a. better man of himself, while
she encouraged him, telling him over
and over again that he was far better
than the average man she knew.
Mother was upstairs, supposedly
deep in book, and the occupants OF
the drawing room trusted to mothers
footsteps to warn them when they
should move to a more platonic posi-
ton.
But the young people were so deep
ly interested in each other that they
did not hear mother come down the
stairs and the first intimation of dan
ger was when they heard the knob on
the drawing room door turn.
Frantically the youth leaped from
the sofa and while he was in mid
air mother strobe majestically into the
room and saw him.
To the average youth there would
have been no escape, but this youth,
with the skill of veteran, landed
lightly on his feet and. turning to
the mother, said in the most conven-
tional tones:
why, how do you do, Mrs. -?
| was just explaining to Miss - how
I won the broad jump on Franklin
field. And then to carry out the gal
liant lie he demonstrated high jump
ing, sprinting, throwing the weight,
hammer-throwing and even showed the
mother and daughter how the various
position on the football team are
played.
And the best part of the whole af-
fair was that mother really believed
all he said.

A Routine Session.

A prominent Missourian in Wash
ington is fond of telling anecdotes
about James Stephen Green, once a
senator from Missouri, and the leader
in the aggressive war made on Benton
by the slavery advocates in ante
bellum Missouri. The one he enjoys
the most and considers the best of all
illustrates Green's ready wit.
One Sunday, shortly after Green's
arrival in Washington. he was asked
by friend of his to attend services
at an Episcopal church near by. Green
had never attended service charac-
teIized by much Journalism, so he was
naturally deeply impressed. After he
had returned an acquaintance asked
him, Senator, what did you think OF
the service?"
well, SIR Green replied, "it struck
me that there was altogether too much
reading of the journal and not enough
debate. Saturday Evening Post.

{ The Bye-Bye Chair !


But born of memres old and sweet-the
songs my mother sung
When in the dusk she held me close and
gently stroked my hair,
And bore me with her down to Sleep in
that old Bye-Bye Chair.
My boyhood's friend went wrong to-day;
the same old story. dear!
Temptation, yielding, sin and fall. And
thoughtless worldlings sneer!
But / who sit here by your side and
hear you sing tonight,
And gaze behind me on the years with
love and faith alight,
do not pride my falt'ring feet upon the
race they've made,
But search my heart and bless the part
that mother love has played.
I know he lacked the mother hands that
fondly press and mold.
l know he lacked the mother smile that
turns the drOSs to gold
And at the crossroads where the tracks
of Right and Wrong are dim
There was no shining mother light to
point the way to him.
The callous cynics Of the world gage sin
by what is done.
But I can measure life by love of mother
to her son;
And God. who knows the human heart.
has mercy. dear, to spare
To him whose soul-strength was not won
in mothers Bye-Bye Chair
Sleep. little boy-my Billy-boy! The
World is just outside.
1t does not fight the pillow fight; tbs
stern in wrath and pride.
Its blows are blows that SILVER strength;
it smiles to see fall
1t does not pity idle tears nor heed a
craVens call.
Yet victory is not to him who wantonly
gives pain
Who wrests their weapons from the
weak and tramples on the slain.
For chivalry it is not dead, nor honor
but a name
And bitter soon be need Of him who
brings his mother shame.
Yet he who. barking back to youth. goes
forth and nobly tries
To color life to match the light that
shines from mothers eyes.
And he who with his earnest faith his
after life attunes
To those old songs of honest love his
mother softly croons.
May walk adown the ways of Life, and
in his daily prayer
Thank God that all his best was born in
that old Bye-Bye Chair.

Novel Lamp Shades.

Printed nets make charming lamp
shades. The odds and ends OF new
evening frock may be utilized in man
ufacturing a shade.
One of this sort consisted of black
net, printed with pink ard lavender
orchids. A background and lining OF
lavender silk was first fitted over the
plain cardboard frame. The leaves on
the net were outlined with silver
thread. The net was then applied
over the silk. The edges Of the shade
and the places where sections of net
and silk were joined together were
then outlined with pale lavender col
ored chiffon ruching The fringe con-
sisted of glass beads, matching the
tint of the silk.
