Make Trouble for stenographers.

H. F. Dodge, one of the official stem
ographers of the national house of rep
resentatives, says that Colonel Rock
wood Koar, Of the Worcester, Mass,
district is the hardest man to take
in the Massachusetts delegation, not
only because he speaks rapidly but
that he also talks SO strongly Yam
kee' that it is not always easy to I'M
derstand him. Mr.. Dodge is himself
an Indianian. The easiest man in the
house to take is Clayton, of Alabama,
whose speed Of utterance often falls
to 65 words minute, a rate at which
he could be taken in long hand The
fastest talker in the house is Walter
l.. Smith, Of Ohio, and also one of its
dearest thinkers, the rapidity of his
utterance keeping pace with the rapid
lty of his thought It is almost impos-
sible to do more than to make a dot

THE PRETTY FRENCH WOMAN
Why She Is So Much More Chic Than The An,eri-
can Girl
can Girl.

Nobody ever called the American
woman chic" said a physical culturist
Ind beauty lecturer. And nobody
ever will. That is, not until she learns
how to be chic. At present she is
tuite hopeless from chic point OF view.
There were never as many pretty
american women as now. The girls
are tall and fair and the women are
Noluptuous and blooming. All are
costly dressed. But when it comes to
being chic, they are not in it. A thou
sand times | have been asked: How
can | ha.chic? and | hardly know
what to say.
"One Of the principal reasons why
the French woman is chic is on ac-
count of her underwear 1t is al
ways dainty to the last degree. And
It shows, though she does not show it.
There is subtle something byswhich
YOU can tell. 1t may be, only the sus-
picion OF a rustic; it may be only a
thance display of lace; it may be just
The merest suggestion of lingerie, but
you get the idea that there is more
daintiness than shows upon the mere
surface.
The American girl wears expensive
enough lingerie, but she seldom makes
1t chic There is something that is
lacking. She may lift up her skirt
and show an all silk petticoat, but it
is not petticoat that bewitches. 1t
is merely piece Of silk. Only this
and nothing more. But the French
woman, If she were to lift her skirt,
would bewitch you. She would do it
with something that you might call
style.
THE explanation is this: The
French woman never makes mis-
take. In taste she is superb. If her
skirt is French pink, you may be
sure that her heels are French heels
and her stockings pretty stockings.
! 1.-THE English girl, on the other
hand, is quite pathetic in her combi-
nations. Under petticoat of charm
Ing hue and irreproachable frou frou
she will display boots that are uncom-
promisingly masculine.
Her stockings will be at war with
chic. But the French woman never
makes such a mistake as this.
"The American girl, charming as
she is, has a great deal to learn OF
the French woman. And one thing
is how not to get fat, for one explana-
ton of the chic of the French woman
is that she is thin. 1t is said that the
French woman is naturally lean and
that she keeps her figure by simply
doing nothing at all. Yet this is not
wholly so. She diets and she exer
cises in her own way.
The French woman would hardly
go to a gymnasium mornings, for it is
too much like hard work. But she
exercises in other ways. She does
her own homework and glories in it.
She is not lazy.
"The American woman does not
like to market and she despises the
groceryman. She dislikes to attend
to the detail of her household and she
abhors light homework. There is,
then, nothing left for her but the gym
nasium. And she must take to it to
keep her figure. ,....
1.-The French woman has a little

The French woman, at least such

form, never gets stout. And, if stout,

fat she may grow. But the American
woman never.
"The fat American woman puts on
white shirtwaist. She divides her
skirt from her waist with belt which
cuts her in two and makes her look
terribly short. And she wears a skirt
that is positively dumpy in it's lines.
'THhe stout American woman revels
in satin. She loves to see it's mirror

ample bosom, and she glories in shiny

waist. And she keeps it small by her
diet. She eats very little that she does
rot want to eat. The American cannot
resist the temptation to stuff.
THE American woman is apt to
have figure. At the age of thirty
her waist line begins to thicken, and
at the time she is forty, it is gone
At fifty it is so wide that you would
not recognize it as a belt line. 1t is
