A Riot OF Ribbons.

Fashion allows ribbons full play:
they riot over frocks and hats alike.
Whether as artful bows, as stiff CO.
cardes, as mec ndering ruche or flying
streamer. it is long since they have had
such a time Of it. But it Is the same
with them as with all other forms Of
trimming - they must show fanciful
skill and dexterity in the way they are
unanswered, no hard lines or meaning
less introduction. Ribbon and trimming
alike both must justify their presence
by art in their manipulation.

They Worked the Fraternity.

The Grand Regent Of the Royal Ar
canum, Of the District of Columbia,
tells story on himself, how after pa
tiently urging, persuading and nagging,
he managed to get fellow acquaint-
ance to join his order. This new mem
ber,-say Mr.. Smith-after joining was
at first delinquent in paying his dues,
and the great mogul of the fraternity
had much trouble in getting him to pay
up. After time, much to his surprise,
Mr.. Smith sent his money in promptly
on the day 1t was due; then he sent in
his money two months in advance. A
short time after, Mrs. Smith came into
the Grand Regents place Of business
and said, Wont you please come
around to see Mr.. Smith, he is very ill.,"
OF course the kind-hearted Regent
went. He found Smith very i'll, indeed,
SO sick that the physician had told
him his time on earth was limited, and
Smith took occasion to thank the Re
gent for getting him to join the order
SO that he might not pass away leav-
ing his family unprovided for. Smith
died. His widow then beseeched the
Regent to try to get her some work to
do so that she might support her
family. The Grand Regent was again
obliging, and by hard work and an un-
limited amount of red tape, got her
through the civil service examination
and she obtained position in one Of
the Government Departments. Just be-
fore receiving her notice to go to work
(about six months after her husbands
demisei she appeared again at the
Grand Regents office and said:
Il want to thank you for what you
have done for me. I have just re-
ceived my appointment, but ! don't
think I will take the place; have
something better. l want to ask one
more favor, won't you please recon-
mend this party's admission to your
order?"
"Well, now. Mrs Smith," said the
Regent, shat is something ! can't do
without knowing the applicant"
"Oh, he is all right, I can assure
you" she replied, "he's my husband"

New Walk For Women.

From London comes startling re-
ports of new figure and new pose
which have been called Into existence
by the winter fashions Women who
have for the last year been lightly
tripping in the short "trottoir" skirt
have found that they must adapt
their style Of walking to the new or
der OF thhlngs. A slow. languorous
movement of the limbs IA therefore
cultivated, MS being more conductive
to grace when wearing the long red
ingote" coat and the newly intro
duced princess styles.
The new walk Is just little sug-
gestive OF the Gibson girl" but In a
modified form. The figure n held up
right ut the shoulders, with the
slightest forward bend at the waist,
the head Is erect, the chin In and the
legs swing from the hips. The cor
rect poisc Ia not attained all at once
according to the london Express--and
at the physical culture schools, whore
society II now graduating In the art
of how to walk IN sredinrote.. some
very drastic orders are givcn. The
practice OF sleeping on the 3ack or
one sids-is fatal 10 the new poise.
II the woman Of fashion would look
tall and stately she must sleep face
downward. with pillow tightly
wedged under her chin In order to
avoid suffocation.
