A young business man selected as the
bridal gift for his pretty wife a pair
of full length mirrors. His sister was
frankly curious about this most I'M
masculine of wedding gifts, and in re-
Spouse to her questions, he said:
" hate to see a woman trim and
well-groomed in the front and sloven
in the back. 1t makes me nervous to
watch one of our stenographers whose
skirt always dips in the back, SO that
she cleans up all the filth on the office
floor. I have danced with girls whose
faces were pinked and powdered to per
lection, but the backs of their necks
would be a delicate chocolate shade by
comparison. And L have danced with
another girl who wore real lace thing
un-bub over the front of her low
neck waist, while her satin skirt sag
ged an inch below the waist band in
the back. L mean to give my wife ev-
ery-chance to look as we'll in the back
as she does in the front, if mirrors will
help her. And L don't mind giving you
the tip that many a mans proposal has
halted at sight of a gaping vent in the
back of a skirt or a bent and crooked
safety pin showing below a neat leath-
er belt
The double or triple mirror is a truth
teller whose offices no weIl-groomed
woman can afford to scorn. The finger
tips of Old Father Time leave their
marks on the back, while the careless
woman thinks complacently that her
face is as fresh and young looking as
it was five years Dack-or further. if
she be of a sunny disposition.
The ingenious woman contrives in va
rious ways to provide a substitute for
the expensive double or triplicate mir
rors, seen in the suit department of
the smart shop. A girl who had to
utilize the back parlor as her bed
room, hung a long narrow, o1d-fash-
Toned pier mirror horizontally over the
couch on one side of the room. and set
her dressing table just opposite. Sur
rounded by pictures. college banners
and trinkets, the mirror gave depth to
| the room, and when the girl sat at her
| dressing table she had a fine reflected
| view of her back
! The maron or the single woman who
| has passed thirty should watch the
| lines of her back with jealous care.
Father Time stands ready to touch it
at two points-the waist line and the
| maternity lump" The latter lies al
! the base Of the neck, directly over the
| protruding vertebrate. A layer or two
| Of fat at this point adds ten years to
a woman's appearance, as viewed from
the rear. Massage will do little OF

Its removal or better still, its proven
ton, must be accomplished by careful
carriage of the head. Never allow the
| head to hang forward. or let the chin
drop on the chest. Hold the head up
with chin rather high. and look up

Edward J. Barry Of Post Office Square,
Boston, lawyer, who came to New York
last Monday with Police Inspector Watts
of Boston to assist In investigating the suit
case murder, was in the West Side court

two women who had taken sos from him.

the woman. She gave back $e2, and said
that was all she had taken. Barry, how

The women gave their names as Lottie
DAILY and Emma Howard. They were
arraigned before Magistrate Barlow. who

he asked for the s33
Il can't give YOU that said the cop Il
have to keep that as evidence"
But am not going to be here when the
case is examined, and l want the money"
said Barry,
McEntee refused to surrender the cash.
and Barry accused him of keeping it for his
own use Thereupon McEntee marched
Barry back TO court, repeated Barry's
insinuation and incidentally stated that
Barry didn't intend to appear against the
women.
How about that?" asked the Court.
TO be candid, 1 shall not be here Mon
day, said Barry.
I think you will" said the Magistrate
sharply. Then he turned to one of the
clerks and said: Make out the papers COM
mitting this man to the House of Detention"

thoroughly frightened. When the papers
were ready Magistrate Barlow came back
to sign them. Barry begged to be allowed

If La Toilette goes to the Senate,

That is very likely. From pres

sented in the senate will be OF
the most inocuous kind and La
Toilette would not be the man to
have charge of such a measure.
He would be liable to amend it
until it meant something. Cul.
lom Of Illinois would be the logic

the senate. He was the man who
took the starch out of the Reagan

it the limp dish-rag it is now.

Speaking of the decline of true
oratory, the Rams Horn says,
:'The handspring of oratory is
not knowledge Of fact, but con-
>viction of truth, which burns
with flaming heat. The dearth
of oratory, as we believe, is due
mostly to dearth of profound
conviction in every field OF
thought or action. Our political
orations, if such they may be
called, deal not with principles,
but with policies. Is there any
man in either of the two political
parties of the United States who
has deep convictions concerning
the principles Of government:
Possibly there are two or three,
but they are called idealists, and
are denied a serious hearing.
The political leaders are men
who only discuss policies and
who can veer and shift and turn
and adapt and compromise. :" =
