sian giant who is now here. That is, the museum
was ready to put down a certain of money
for the use of Machinows body after his death.
The proposition threw the giant into absolute
terror. He is said to have wept in an agony of
fear. No remonstrances or explanations seemed
to comfort him.
He is nine feet three inches tall, but he is
child in his outlook the world and this and
other propositions seemed to him and continue
to seem to him like an assault upon his life.
When DR.. Simon of New York, the other day
offered $1,000 for his brain the offer not permit

nor his manager would permit the proposition to
be translated to him. To have done so would

Fashion TIPS

Separate jackets of colored satin are
orophesied for autumn.
Khaki cloth makes a nobby wrap for
Short motor runs.
Very few cloth skirts are now made
lp with an attached silk drop skirt.
Small taffeta scarfs, drawn through
a large buckle and attached to the
back of the bodice, are worn.
In spite of the vogue for loose gar
ments. a good many fitted coats of silk
are being worn.
The short and frivolous pelerine
Sleeve appears on garments, long or
short, serious or fiirtatious.
Those long wrinkled gloves Of very
pale yellow chamols look well with any
sort Of frock.
Neutral tints, such as elephant OF
smoke grey, greyish green, etc, are a
good choice for the hat to wear with
white gown.
The newest wrist bag is a square
Of silk, with an embroidered flap fast
ened by a big handsome button and
hung by a wide satin ribbon.
French handkerchiefs are dainty
with narrow colored border and colored
design in the corner. on which the
white initial is embroidered.
