of "The Japanese Spirit" thus de-
scribes the Japanese ideal of womanly
beauty: "She is to possess a body
not much exceeding five feet in
height, with comparatively fair skin
and proportionately well-developed
limbs; a head covered with long.

COLOR FREAKS OF Fashion.
Women Who Would Be in style Must
Sacrifice Much.


Sacrifice Much.
I'm glad I'm not my wife," said
the dyspeptic as he settled down to
his hygienic luncheon of rare roast
beef, creamed onions and boiled rice;
"Td be dead if were. l have trouble
enough keeping alive as it is. Fancy
the shape I'd be in if l had to change
my spots-I mean my color-as often
as tickle fashion dictates. Why I've
forgotten what color my wife origi-
nally was, she's undergone so many
beauty transformations. And now
she's got to do it again. A friend
just bach from the other side has
told her mat though red hair con-
tinues to be the proper caper it must
now be backed up by green eyes and
a dead white skin. The hair and skin
are easy enough, but even my wife is
a little afraid of the beauty specialist
who is willing to undertake to make
her eyes look green. There's just one
grain of comfort in it all for me
though she achieve the pallid skin, the
green eyes and the red hair it will
not give her a temperament to CORE
spond. l shall yet enjoy the modicum
of peace it is in her capricious nature
to allow me."-Philadelphia Record.

Party and Its Sad Ending.
1t was not so very long ago that
jolly party of young men and women
from the capital went on a weekend
visit to Miss Dash, whose father has
country house not a days journey
away, says the Washington Post 1t
was not the sort of house party you
read about in smart" novels. They
didn't play bridge nor hunt; they
romped like a lot of children Mr..
and Mrs. Dash were away one evening
and If the house had not been very
solidly built it would have been torn
down. Nobody ever heard such rol-
licking laughter, such mad scamper-
ings as went on. Somebody suggest
ed hide and seek. The young people
hid in the attack and the cellar and
in every possible place between. A
normally sedate young man was the
seeker. He galloped about madly.
shouting and searching. He opened
every door he saw and in one room
his keen eyes espied somebody trying
to hide in bed He pounced forward
and seized the figure.
Get out of thati' he cried. I've
got you. You can't hide from me-"
Wild shrieks and the noise of COM
bat rent the air. Furious invective
and stammered expostulation brought
the rest of the party in no time at all.
The usually sedate young man had
found the cook and nothing he could
say had any weight with her. She

Fish That Change Color.

Among the curious observations
made by students at the Bermuda bio
logical station is that some of the ia
habitants of the water there are able
to initiate the color of the rocks and
reefs along which they swim. The
common fish called the grouper pos
sesses this power. Its chromatic vari-
ability runs through a considerable
range of colors. A specimen of the
octopus vulgaris, after jerking an oar
from the hand of an inquisitive nat
uralist, escaped pursuit by its ability
to initiate the exact shade of any
brown or gray rock on which it rested.

charged George fired, and at the Sec

FALL FASHION FOR MISSES.

most say that every dress now made
has a tucker or guimpe, and many OF
them are beautifully handworked, the
doting mammas having made them
during veranda hours the past summer.
Again we would call attention to the
silky mohair shirt-waist suit for the
schoolgirl; the mohairs come In plain
materials, in hairlines and checks.
Plaids are always more or less worn by
the small fry, and signs point to
more than usual popularity this season.
Henriettas and nuns yelling are liked
for dressy occasions, but for school
that is selected which will stand rough
wear. Some mohairs tear if child
but rises from her desk, others wear
like iron.
School frocks, in spite of what we
said about the hand-embroidered
guimpes, are marked by extreme sim
plicity. Good materials are chosen and
those that promise durability; the cut
must be modern, the design should be
simple. This is the day when health Is
exalted far above fussiness, and in that
respect at least we have advanced.
Numbers of one-piece frocks are
seen, worn by girls of all ages up to
10 or Il; the younger ones wear
the exaggerated long waist. the older
ones have the line at about the normal
height Plaid and checked ginghams
and mercerized cottons are in highest
favor and make ideal frocks for the
! schoolgirl.
Details of the costume are looked
! after by the sharp-eyed misses, who are
apt to scan one another's appearance
rather more closely than strict good
taste permits. Black ribbons are used
sometimes in place of regular shoe
strings, and perky little bow is fas-
tened where the vamp joins the uppers,
as we'll us one tied at the top of the
shoes. This is really pretty addition
ITO the short-skirted costume, to be
recommended especially for the young
girl that is little lax about keeping
her footwear trim. She way try to
live up to her shoe ribbons.
In hats almost everything goes that
is picturesque. There is the Napoleon
tricorne, the quaint three-cornered
chapeau that is generally becoming.
There are Russian caps with cord and
brush at one side. And then there are
White poke bonnets profusely trimmed
With black velvet ribbon. And we shall
add right here that velvet ribbon
matching the dress is used great deal
in the adornment of children's dresses.
