"She is the most amusing woman In

duchess, and Mrs. Leslie's tongue instead
of her face has been her fortune. She
talks Of her gift for telling and gem

discuss the technique of his performance,
and she says that she has brought home
enough stories from the durbar to last

She is continually with the duchess In

~ HADES Of Mrs. Bloomer, and Of all
~ the dress reformers who have pre-
coded and followed her! Could they

taken up the trend Of their efforts.
and evolved from their hideous monstrosl-
ties the things of beauty in which the
fashionable folk garb themselves to-day,
surely they would feel that they had not
lived in vain.
Just little glance down the highway
Of fashion readily brings to the minds eye
curious conglomeration of cast-offs in.
which even the smartest and best dressed
members Of society were wont to fare
forth, when on business or on pleasure
bent.
Then arrived the era Of india-rubber,
and the memory Of those ill-smelling and
still worse looking garments fingers with
us yet. But how proudly they were donned
and with what a conscious air Of be-
ing up to date did the smart girl pick her
way down the muddy street, holding up
the train Of her long skirt with one hand,
while the other upheld the necessary UNI
brella
To her aid came the playfully -terme
societies of Rainy Daisies" with their
banding together Of women pledged to
wear skirts cut to clear the ground. not
only on rainy days, but on all other days
as well. Their labors have borne good
fruit, for to-day the walking skirt Is the
feature of every fashionable wardrobe,
and it has proved itself q boon to all
classes of society alike.
But it is with the raincoat that the fash
ionable folk chiefly concern themselves
nowadays, for this garment has been
brought to pitch of fashionable perfec-
ton which would seem nothing short of
miraculous to the wearers :. Of the old
clothes and robber-coat style Of rainy-day
dress.
Looking for all the world as tho made Of
the high-priced coverts, the Barney or
West of England tweeds, the smart Sicili-
! ennes, or even Of expensive silks, the new
raincoats are in every way rainproof, and
that without the slightest hint or sugges-
ton Of rubber in their composition.
Not by any means the least Of their at
fractions is the variety in which the up
to-date tailors and retailers are showing
these attractive and at the same time
unitarian garments There is nothing Of
the stiff shapeless. inherently ugly water

Decay destroys more teeth than all other
diseases Of the mouth. Therefore, an
ounce Of prevention in caring for the
teeth, as well as in other matters, Is
worth pound Of cure. Mothers whose
children have poor teeth often lay the
cause to inherited tendencies, but dental
psychologists all agree that it is not so
much the quality of the teeth as their en-
vironment which causes them to decay.
1t Is true. Of course, that the teeth are
influenced to a great extent by parental
nutrition and by inheritance, but many
faults of the latter may be overcome by
giving the infant and growing child prop
er food, which means nutriment rich in
formative material. Eggs, milk, whole
wheat bread, meats and fish are all more

An American woman is practically lady
in-waiting to the Duchess Of Connaught
and the favorite chaperon Of the pretty
Connaught girls, Princesses Margaret and
Patricia. THE vice commandress-in-
chief Of Ireland" some Of her English
friends call her. in laughing imitation of
the title ''vicereine" which the Americans
have bestowed on Lady Curzon without
rhyme and reason.
That wit will carry a woman where
beauty and birth fail to admit her has
been proved by Mrs. Jack Leslie. Attic
Mrs. Leslie is a sister of the famous Mrs.
CORVALLIS West and one Of the three
Churchill girls who gave New York
something to talk of when they were
young, she was almost unheard OF until
the durbar. An aide-de- camp who was
to accompany the Duke of Connaught to
India was taken Ill, and for some reason
Jack Leslie was appointed to fill his place.
