POINTS Of THE PERFECT HAND.
Simple Measurements Will Always

Simple Measurements Will Always
Determine Its Possession.
The artist looking chap in long hair
and flowing necktie reused up from
his revery when somebody said some
thing about the beautifully small hand
of a lady.
ut isn't the smallest hand that is
the most beautiful he said with an
air of authority. ''The hand of the
average woman which is the beauty
size wears six and quarter glove,
and if it is we'll shaped hand it is the
ideal one It can't be thin and scrawny.
but must be plump enough to fill out
all the wrinkles in the glove, at the
same time not to be too chubby and
fat. The measurements should be
about like this: Five and three-quar-
ter inches around the wrist at the first
button; round knockles at the base OF
the fingers, six and three-Quarter
thumb seven and a half inches; from
the base to the top of the thumb four
ard three-eighths inches; from the
top of the second finger to the fork,
three and one-eighth inches, and the
other fingers in proportion. Those are
the real art measurements, and the
ladies of your acquaintance, and all
others, can easily find out If their
hands are properly proportional by
getting an ordinary tape measure and
making test. I'll bet a pot of paint
that not one in twenty has the ideal
hand."-Exchange

rHAW TO REMAIN IN JAIL
NJ Immediate Steps to Secure Ball
Are Likely.


Now York, April 19.-No movement

Harry X. Thaw on bail has been made
and mono is likely to be for some time.

ploy, say that no immediate steps will
b taken regarding bail.
That Thaw and the members of his
hmily are resigned to the fact that
