the policeman. ct w'u'd be Trash in

Now, as a matter of fact, Policeman
Flynn's daughter was quite right. The
young man was a most estimable
youth, but Flynn did not understand
him. The latter thought he detected
weakness where there was none, be-
cause in his youthful surroundings
young man had been judged by a
rougher standard. So he acted in per-
feet good faith when he undertook to
show Maggie that her idol vas made OF
an inferior article of clay. To do this he
deemed it necessary to take radical
action, SO he entered the room one
evening when the young man was call

Thereupon the young man rose w
suddenly, and before Policeman Flynn
fully realized what had happened he
found himself sitting on the ground
outside the window, where the despiset
dude had dropped him. He got up

Walk behind a woman in the street
and you will notice that n shoulder
is taller than the other. ThiS is
caused by her hands. One hand is
held at the belt line while the other
is allowed to fall by her side. Per-
haps she lifts her skirt with one hand
while with the other she carries a
parcel. This will make the shoulders
Uneven. And in time they grow I'M
even.
Round shoulders are caused by the
habit of letting the body sink forward.
Women with lung trouble have round
shoulders, while dyspeptics almost in
variably have shoulders that hoop for
ward, making the figure a poor shape.
To straighten a pair of round shout
ders is difficult. A brace can be worn
and this serves as a reminder and
the woman straightens up. The wom-
an whose shoulders are round cannot
wear a low neck. There is nothing
quite as disfiguring as a pair of Shout
ders that bend too far forward. The
whole shape is destroyed.
Fat shoulders are apt to be pretty.
But the trouble is that it is difficult
to put just the right amount of flesh
upon the shoulders. Either they are
too thin or they become too stout.
And the pudgy shoulder, full of great
soft creases, is impossible from beau.
TVS standpoint.
The cereals will plump out the
neck. but one must not take too much
cream with them. Vegetables also
plump the neck, but one must be care
full to take them fresh and without
too much butter. There are fats which
seem to settle in the abdomen and
other fats which go toward the shou'-
ders and hands. 1t is curious to the
student of beauty to observe the diff
ferent direction which the flesh will
take. Potatoes will make the abdo-
men full. Another kind Of food will
make the shoulders stout, while a
third kind will cause the cheeks to
grow fat. 1t is a knowledge of these
various kinds of food which makes a
woman pretty or otherwise. She real
Nv can govern her fat to suit herself
If she knows what to eat.
If the shoulders are of the sloping
or old-fashioned type, they should be
dressed plainly. A Quaker handker
chief folded around the shoulders in
such a manner as to make them still

Fashions latest edict is most revo-

no sooner gone from the one than !
found myself at the other. AS on the
memorable evening, when I had
crossed the street in a drilling rain
and looked that way with foreboding.
there were two or three guards in the
cardinals livery, lettering before the
gates. But this was not all. Coming
nearer, l found the opposite pavement
under the Louvre thronged with peo-
pie; not moving about their business,
but standing all silent, all looking
across furtively, all with the air of
persons who wished to be thought
passing by. Their silence and their
keen looks had in some way an air
of menace. Looking back after I
had turned in towards the gates ]
found them d%evouring me with their
eyes.
Certainly they had little else to look
at. In the courtyard, where some
mornings when the court was in Paris
l had seen a score of coaches waiting
and thrice as many servants, were now
emptiness and sunshine and stiffness
The officer, who stood twisting his
mustaches, on guard, looked at me IN
wonder as / passed. The lackeys

much taken up with whispering to

which happened when l had mounted
! the stairs and come to the door OF
the ante-chamber, outdid all. The
mar on guard there would have opened
! the door; but when / went to take adj
vantage of the offer, and enter, a
m~ajordomo, who was standing near,
muttering with two II three Of his
kind, fastened forward and stopped me
"Your business, Monsieur, if you
please?" he said inquisitively. And
wondered why the Others looked al
me so strangely.

sharply. 81 have the entree."
He bowed politely enough. eyes

"But-by appointment, Monsieur?

"No, I said, astonished. ut is TIT

however, I have business with him."
The man looked at me for a mo

Then he stood reluctantly aside an
signed to the door-keeper to open tn
door. I passed in, %uncovering, with al

Some Pretty and Novel Ways to En-
tertain Guests.
Halloween Party.

Halloween Party.
1t seems impossible to believe that
1t is time to think of Halloween
parties, but a request from a young
correspondent for suggestions for
this fascinating day reminds us that
next month brings the time looked
forward to by each succeeding coterie
of young people. In fact, this &C
casion offers so many possibilities in
the way of entertaining that 1t is a
favorite season for all sorts of func-
lions.
The young girl in her letter asks
for ideas for a ,"EIallowe'en" masque-
rade party.
AS this is the night when witches,
brownies, hob-goblins of all sorts are
supposed to hold high carnival, l
should ask the guests to come in cos
tunes of that character, with perhaps
a few girls dressed as fairies to ward
off bad spirits. The Japanese paper
caps and masks are the best to use,
they are easy to adjust, cool, and very
inexpensive. If you cannot procure
them, send me a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope, and I will put you
on the right track. Cider, doughnuts,
apples, popcorn sandwiches and a
fortune" cake are among the refresh
ments. In next weeks paper more
suggestions will be given for Hal
lowe'en.
Five O'Clock Tea.
A reader asks what to serve for a
five o'clock tea in about four. courses"
In the first place, a five o'clock tea Is
the very simplest of all entertain
ments; there are never any courses.
The hour is too near dinner time to
permit of an elaborate spread. A bev-
erage Of the choice of two as tea or
coffee; an iced fruit drink or choco-
late; one or two varieties of sand
witches, small cakes, waters, candies,
ginger, sailed nuts and bonbons are
all accessories of the five o'clock tea
Sometimes just a glass Of sherbet OF
a frappe with delicate sugar waters
are served. The main thing is to have
something to offer to promote SO
ciabiity, but not to over clOy the ap'
petite and make the eatables the
main thing. Five o'clock teas are Q
very popular method of entertaining
and the invitations are usually is
sued on the hostess visiting card
with the words "at home from three
to FIVE" 1t is customary to ask one
OF two intimate friends to serve the
guests.

EARLY FALL TRADE.

Preparations for the fall trade are
being made unusually early this year
Reports from all the wholesale ceAter'
show the arrival OF country merchants
in larger numbers than ever before
and two weeks earlier than usual.
In this connection The Wall Street
Journal says the meaning Of this is not
simply commercial in its character,
but much wider. Accompanying the
buyers are their families, whose men,
hers add considerably To the porchas-
ing power OF the representatives OF

The presence Of large surplus funds
in the agricultural sections OF. the
country, aS well a. the continuous
employment OF labor in the industrial
sections throughout the past SUMMER,
and the early marketing OF cotton and
grain, are jointly responsible for this
early activity in the mercantile trade.
There are abundant resources to main
tain trade in large volume for the
next four months; and unless sigps
fail, the closing quarter Of 1905 will be
one of the most active merchandising
periods 10 the history Of the country,
There will be a quick turnover OF
