The head is the unit whereby the figure

height Of the body must be eight times
the length of the head. So measure

Our own Gibson-Charles Dana Glib
originator of the Gibson girl,
leans, too, TO the tall and slender type;
but he has given her shoulders Of COM
width. wherewith TO balance
her gracious height.
But, after all, it is proportion and
not height, not slenderness, that makes
for beauty. There is a famous Nirginian
beauty who is scarce five feet tall, and
whom artists in Paris and Rome and
London hailed as a pocket edition of
Venus" so perfectly is she proportional.
Hence there is no reason why the short
girl should not enter in the lists of
beauty. The miniature may be full as
true a likeness as the life-size painting,
and it is none the less perfect because of
its diminished size.
But to get to the real meat in the
cocoanut: the matter Of measurements.

afternoon and in their meanderings
made visit to "A. J. Woodruff's
restaurant, where they confscated
several boxes of bon bons and a
number of oranges unbeknOwnst to
the proprietor, one of the trio keep
ing Mr.. Woodruff busy showing
goods while the others filled their
pockets.
Mr.. Woodruff discovered his loss
before the strangers departed and
compelled them to relinquish a
portion Of the stolen goods.
Marshal BudwOrth was notified
and started in search of the Gull
prits. They went from Woodruff's
to Matt Wissbaum's, where they
begged some apples, and from there
meandered to Nathans. Here the
marshal found them and placed
them in custody. One of the fell
lows was somewhat dilatory in his
movements towards the city bastile
and the officer was compelled to
bring his club into play for one

The only way to appreciate
money, is to earn it. Dollars put
away will accumulate, and you will
begin to realize that the expendi-
ture of the dime destroys the face
of the dollar. After you have saved
a hundred it will be as easy to save
the next four hundred as it was to
reach the first stake. And it will be
as easy to fput away $1,000 to that
$500 as it'll was to store up the half
of it originally. 1t is the man who

to make it count. And NJ man can
