TO LOOK TALL.
Keep Your FigaSe slim and Follow
These suggesttona.

Keep Your Figuxe slim and Follow
These Suggestions.
First.--To look tall make your waist
as long as you can.
Second.-To look tall don't lace tight
ly, but make your belt line sloping
rather than sharp. Don't accentuate
your hips.
Third-To look taller than you real
ly are make your skirts long. Don't
wear any skirt shorter than ankle
length. A little longer than the ankles
is better.
Fcurth.-To look tall dress your hair
high. Trim It with flowers and make
a coiffure. This really lifts you cou-
pie Of inches and makes you seem tall
er than you actually are. or course
don't exaggerate, but lift your coiffure
all you can, taking care that you keep
1t fluffy and youthful.
Nfth.-To make yourself look tall
be sure to build your shoulders broad,
but do not make them too wide. The
extreme Gibson shoulder is bad for
any woman. Let the shoulders be
only moderately built out.
Sixth.-To look tall let your neck
be bare, which makes the throat
seem longer and so lifts your height
quite little, Don't "chuck" up the
throat or you viii certainly DO 50 at

THE USE OF MRS."
A Few Hints on the Etiquette of Let
ter Writing.

ter Writing.
There is one little etiquette of letter
writing which many women who ought
to know better are forever transgress-
ing. This is the use Of MRS" in the
signature.
A married woman ought never to
sign herself other than "Mary Gather
wood Pitcoe." This is imperative If
she Is writing to an acquaintance. If
1t is business letter or to one who
would not know her position and mar
ried title, she writes under this sigma
ture "Mrs. William Pitcoe' In paren-
thesis.
This Is simple enough rule, but the
number Of ladies' who appear to think
they must perpetually inform even the
best informed of their married state Is
truly astounding.
One woman had little shock the
other day on receiving a letter from a
social acquaintance whom she admired
hugely at distance. 1t was a very
nice letter, but 1t was signed "Mrs.
William Pitcoe" and gave its recipient
a distinct chill of disappointment.
Numbers of women do It
Also many misguided unmarried la
dies blazon Miss" before their names
when signing letters to acquaintances.
The only use of Miss" in signature
is In brackets before the name In writ
ing to a stranger who will need to
know how to address his reply.
These are little things, but they
mark the mistress Of the gentle art of
letter writing by their omission or
commission.

RISKED HIS LIFE.
How an Enterprising Reporter Got
the News For His Paper.

the News For His Paper.
Undoubtedly the boldest undertaking
on the part of a reporter to score
beat" ever known in the history OF
American Journalism was when Thom-
as ID. Fielders OF the New York Times
leaped from a steamer In New York
harbor at odds of about 100 to / OF
being drowned and brought in the first
graphic story of the loss of the ocean
liner Oregon. II is the custom Of New
York dailies to send reporters down
the bay TO meet incoming steamers
when 1t is known there is big news"
aboard. On the ground that II is bet
ter to be safe than sorry the editors
dispatch the reporters by special per
NIT on a government revenue cutter
or else on a specially chartered tug,
with a view to catching their game
before the ship docks. 1t was known
early one afternoon that North Ger
man Lloyd steamer was not far out,
and every city editor in New York laid
plans for sending reporters to meet the
incoming liner.
Fielders was one of these. He man.
aged to get aboard the big steamer fan
down the bay and went among the sur
vivors of the Oregon disaster and OBJ
talned some thrilling tales of escape.
He took notes enough to write book
about the sinking of the ship, with
minute details Of heroic rescues and
plenty of what newspaper men call
human interest stories. Then time
began to wear heavy on his hands. II
was getting late ut night and the ship
had not yet passed quarantine. To
make matters worse, the captain said
that he would allow no one to leave
the ship until she had made her way
clear of quarantine. Fielders valnly
pleaded that he was not passenger
and therefore was not amenable to the
inspection Of the ship by the health
officers. His remonstrances were un
availing The captain was obdurate.
Ten o'clock came. The city editor of
the Times paced neryously around the
night desk, repeatedly asking, "Where

wrought to pitch Of anger almost
sufficient to impel an assault upon the
exacting captain, looked vainly at the
dimpling stream of light from his tug
as she lay out in the darkened waters
waiting for him. The captain of the
steamer would not permit the tug to
come any nearer to his ship. Fielders
stood beside the rail, loudly remon-
strating with the man commanding the
big ship. He stealthily placed one leg
over the rail, then the other. Then
there was splashlng sound below
and a chorus of shouts from the pas
sengers. The reporter was overheard!
Out in the rlppling light his body was
seen to rise, and as 1t did the daredevil
began swimming toward his tug. His
comrades had thrown out line at
signal from him previously given, and
he made for that line, Would he ever
get 1t? Could they see MIN, a mere
speck on the dimly lighted water? He
gained hold on the rope, was pulled
aboard the tug and gave orders for her
nose to be turned toward the Manhat'
tan shore with all possible speed. The
Times contained full and graphic
story of the loss of the Oregon the
