PROPER PROPORTIONS.

In these days of gymnastic and exer- cising fads it would seem that one ought to have good ideas of perfect proportions, even if they cannot always be attained. It will be a satisfaction, at least, to know just what are the ''proper proportions

AN UNPRECEDENTED WINTER.


 Southeastern Alaska is not the only region possessing a normally mild climate that has experienced weather of unprecedented severity. The cold and snowfall in the south of Europe this past winter in the regions to which people usually go in winter and flowers. have been phenomenal. In southern Italy the weather. during the first of last month was more severe than has been known there for years. Ice formed freely in the streets of Naples, and snow covered the summit of Nesuvius. all the lower Abruzzi, and the tops of the mountains around Palermo. while southern France has experienced similar weather. The streets of Nice have been covered with snow several inches deep, and the surrounding country has been snow mantled. The curious sight of snow mantled plam U NSn AiNto bSSh 1bAt1 NOAiiiOii. ti4lo have been snow bound on their way through France to the supposed sunny regions.

APPROPRIATE GIFTS
FOR COUNTRY FRIENDS

Women living in the city wonder and
wonder again what is a suitable gift
for a country woman When 1t is pos
sible, send fruit and vegetables. Now
this may sound queer to a great many
of you, but how many women living in
the remote country districts see winter
pears. malaga grapes, or even the
ordinary basket grapes at the Christmas
season? Lettuce and spinach, also
celery, are unknown to many country
women, simply because the season has
passed at Christmas time when these
things car be procured. Then there are
sweet potatoes and cucumbers, also
spring onions and young radishes. OF
course, they are expensive, but just a
little of each will be acceptable. For
the younger women, send them shirt
waist patterns. There is nothing a
country girl enjoys more th7n some
thing pretty TO wear, or let 1t be a
belt, pretty lace collar and cuff set, or a
silk umbrella. Never SEND anything
like shoes, gloves, etc, for the sizes
are usually wrong and it causes an
noyance. / wish women never gave pic
lures. for the recipient feels honor
bound to place the picture on the wall,
wen though she may not like 1t. A
pretty rug, lamp or household ornament
is something a country woman appre-
ciates, and right here is where lace
curtains, pretty cushion covers, etc,
are acceptable as gifts.

"Such insolenee!" / heard a woman
say as she turned away from the jew
eIry counter in a Broad street store.
THAT girl is entirely too impudent to
stand behind a counterl l wouldn't
buy from her if l was to do without
what l wanted forever
what did she say to you?" asked
her companion to whom the remar
was addressed.
What did she sayi She said she
thought the assortment of brooches
was a large one when I asked her if
there were no more styles, n h
only showed me the contents of six
trays
l don't wonder the poor clerk voiced
her amazement when asked If there
were no more to select from. And her
answer was not impairment in the
least. She merely said that what she
had shown-and tried hard to SELL
included the display, and kindly Of
fered to order some special designs for
the customer in her endeavor to please.
The people who find fault for such
trivial matters are usually the most
doubtful purchasers, very often hav-
ing no intention of buying at all. They
don't seem to realize that standing be-
hind a counter, trying TO suit all
tastes and all conditions of people, is
not a pleasant one at any time. to
say nothing of the extra hardship
which comes with the holiday trade.
1t requires only slight observation
to show us that Christmas is a time
of hardship for those who have to do
with supplying the needs of Christmas
shoppers. Authentic records from the
lives of clerks prove that while we are
employing every known device to cele-
brate the great festival. while we are
planning every joy and happiness for
those in whom we are interested, we
are carelessly reducing to illness and
exhaustion this band of willing work.

REGARDING THE
CORRECT BELT.

If you are long wasted never wear a
belt OF material like the waist, since 1t
has the effect of making the waist at least
two inches longer. Nor should you wear a
light belt with a light waist and dark
skirt. Have the belt exactly the same as
the skirt or something in leather. suede
or silk OF the same shade. For the short
waist, ID girl, she should have belts TO
match the waist, and in this way both
win b. improved in appearance. The belts
Of the season are much wider than those
formerly worn, many being at least two
inches wide, while those of earlier months
were only about one or one aud a half
inches.

"TRIP VAN WRINKLE" AS
PLAYED BY Mr.. HERMAN

OF the recital of rip Van Wrinkle, "
given by George Kiernan, in Wallace Hall
last night, 1t must be said that he did
not fall short of the expectations OF those
in the audience who saw his recitals of
The Cricket on the Hearth" and "The
Rivals" His work brought to mind
memories of jefferson, whose acting he did
not wish TO rival, but to emulate. There
was a good attendance of men and wom-
EN-, who followed the lines closely. MI.
Kiernan's portrayal of feminine characters
is hardly as satisfactory as his acting

PERSIAN PLAID.

For something dainty and pretty in
a colored silk waist there are some
effective materials Of Persian plaid.
These plaids make UP beautifully in
the Gibson style, and the trimmings
may be confined to bands Of waist
material. or just simple little lines Of
piping in some dainty shade. Few OF
the silk waists show any trimming at
all. though some have the little square
yoke and collar Of Irish lace.
