GIRL MANAGER OF THE DUKE ESTATE

States, his sonservatories cost thous-
grounds could not be replaced for less
than $250,000 and one fountain alone
cost 100000 Mr.. Duke has spent
$3.50, 900 already in identifying his
place and expects to double the sum be-
fore It suits him. The management Of
this magnificent place is all in the hands
Of Maggie Smith. IF the landscape
gardener wants 10000 feet Of new pip
ing, if the gardener asks for hundred
rare shrubs, if the housekeeper wants
new dishes Miss Smith writes the order
and the check. Her payroll often ex-
ceeds $1,000 a day. >zs.
In addition to being manager, she is
also chief Of Mr.. Dukes mounted police
force and hires the men, drills them and
sees that they enforce the rules. These

Excursion parties from the sneighbor-

and often the visitors number 1000 in
week. It is no small task to keep
them in order, yet Mr.. Duke refuses to
close his grounds to the public as so
many millionaires have done. Instead
he employs a police force to carry out
his orders and Miss Smith IS the chief:

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

Position in Sleeping see quite lit
tie in the magazines and papers about
the correct position in sleeping and
the bad influence of the incorrect.
Can you tell me what is meant by the
Correct?-Jennie.
= The methods of resting in lying down
|are often faulty. The correct position
in bed for sleeping restfully and quietly
is to have the head low. The pillow
should be thin one. One should sleep
on the right side, as that leaves the
heart more free. One should lie easily,
the knees drawn up more or less as is
comfortable. The whole tendency is to
roll up into a ball. This is natural,
since it is the position that is taken
back, especially if the head is high. is
apt to give uneasy slumber, and is con
l, ducive to Nightmares. 1t is the prac
tice Of many while sleeping to place tn,
hand or fist under the cheek, and whil!.
doing so to wrinkle the face. Sucl
wrinkles often become permanent. Per
feet sleep is necessary for good looks.

With the advent Of January there
comes into the world Of fashion subtle
change, an attitude expectant of some
thing new. We know that the arbiters
Of modes to come have long been at
work planning novelties, each one more
fascinating than the last, and we won
der what new surprise is in store. But
these artists are far too clever to
startle their world with Innovations; a
little touch here, an added idea there,
and by almost imperceptible and Who'll
ly alluring stages we find ourselves
among an entirely new grouping Of the
various fantasies that make up the raj
ment of Madame.
The corsetiers have been irving for
some time to bring back the small waist
with its higher bust line, but the ath-
letic girl, especially here in the United
States, has not seconded this effort.
She feels much too comfortable and
healthy and withal beautifully dressed
to welcome any change that will de-
prive her of her perfect freedom Of
body and assurance Of health. But a
certain Russian princess in Paris has
because it suits her own fgure-ap-
peared in the new corset, and presto, q
hundred women Of note follow suit;
and the long beautifully fitted coat,
the princess robe and the smooth deeply
pointed corsage are the result.

simple plain tailor coat sleeve to
most elaborate affair with large puffs
and deep, richly trimmed cuffs; in fact
the sleeve, as much as anything, char

will not be smaller; in view Of the
elaborate sleeves being designed for the

possible in the fitness of things. Not

The materials employed in the
charming new waist models are Of the
daintiest description, mostly in white
or ivory, this being the favorite for
the separate waist intended for wear
with various skirts. Naturally the oc-
casion dictates the selection Of both
waist and skirt, the suitability Of the
combination being Of great Importance
to the well-dressed woman. Skirts of

Modtstes Welcome New Corset.

It is claimed for the new corset that
it retains the straight 'front.'. which
gives healthful room for the vital or
gans, but reduces the waist by fitting
and hips, thus lengthening the waist
line and making the bust appear higher.
Certain it is that the Partisan dress
makers and tailors have welcomed the
new form with enthusiasm, and the
new fitted models are marvels Of grace
in their perfect lines.
The effect of the new shape is seen
not only in the fitted coats Of various
lengths, but the short coats show a
deeply pointed, carefully fitted girdle
or corselet, quite often Of a number of
pieces nodded to the figure and perfect
ly boned; these girdles reach not in
frequently to within three inches of
the arm, running down to a deep point
in front, the waist or vest slightly
full above.

NEW ENGLAND PRosPERING,

I New England history, thrift and pro-
gress commenced when the Pugrlms
landed at Plymouth in 1920. They worked
untiringly and increasingly for the estab-
lishment of commercial centres and in
dustrial markets; and the present flourish
ing manufacturing and commercial
succeeded. But Nature appeared on the
scere long before our early progenitors
ano shaped the bays and shore line; piled
up The mountains and artistically laid
out the lake and valley lands. The
"Crystal Hills long, long years ago
were the sacred haunt OF the red mems
Manitou, the lakes and rivers, the
aborigines' fishing grounds, and the
magnificent sea coast was their haven OF
rest. Then the ''pale face" came, and
afterwards was the advent of the railroad.
Busy marts, high mountains, lake and
inland sections and the entire sea coast
were all linked by the great steam rail-
road. Climatic conditions have not
changed, nothing new, except the oppor-
tunity to get there, and what additional
charms hotel men and landscape artists
have added.
Summer is the vacation season, New
