THE BUSY BEAVERS.
These Tiraiess Workers Have Altered
Americas Landscape.

v America. Landscape.
Because its operations are chiefly
nocturnal, so that it is seldom or never
seen, and because Of its skill in con-.
trolling water and in house building,
something Of mystery has grown up
about the beaver. It is said that it
fells trees for the purpose of building
Its dams and can lay a tree where it
wishes to with the accuracy of the most
skilled axman. ID 1t lis said also that 1t
uses Its tail as q troWeI. plastering the.
mud on Its houses and dams with this
appendage as mason spreads his
mortar. 55sg .5sS 81
Myths like these will probably have
a long life. The latter belief is no
doubt encouraged by the beavers FREE
quent habit Of shaping the water or
earth with its tall as an alarm signal
whenever It Is startled. There are
many unexplained things about t.ir
beavers life. 4 ilisft

PAQUIN, THE GREAT,
LAUNCHES new DESIGN
This Time It is Skirt, Already the Rage in
Paris, Of Which MRS. Osborn Heartily Approves
New Gowns, Hats and Coats Also Described

Copyright. 1907 The Delineator, New
York.
When a ch .ns comes in things sar-
torial-a change that is Numerically op-
posed to everything that has gone before
1.-THE natural psychological process is a
gradation from amused interest, through
reluctant admiration to final enthusiastic
adoption. Especially is this true of Ameri-
cans This is what 1 predict for the
new skirt which the great Paquin has
lately launched and which is all the rage
I'm Paris. SO writes Mrs. Osborn in
the December Delineator.
This skirt is suggestive of the sheath
skirt of several years ago, but differs
from it in the slight fulness deftly in
trodueed in the front The figure is out
lined and its graceful contour is empha-
sized by this model which is, in reality,
only an adaptation Of the century-old
Directolre style The coat that usually
accompanies this skirt is also descended
from that period a short-waisted, fanci-
ful affair-frivolous, If yOu will-with full
cutaway skirts, and made elaborate with
much trimming.
The original PaoGn skirt is high
wasted, and sweeps lne n65r all around,
With extra length at the back. but there
viii be notifications of this to suit
American ideas of practcahty. It seems
superiuous to say that this skirt Is de-
s gned for supple fabrics Of the nature
Of crepe de Chine, liberty satin, messa-
line. radium, lightweight armure or
ottoman, marquisette and broadcloth and
velvet Of chiffon weight. No trimming
whatever appears on these skirts, al
though perhaps a fiat facing at the foot
or two or three tucks would not he out
OF harmony.
The cutaway coat Is a smart, jaunty
garment that is having much vogue this
season. and its lines are very pleasing.
It Is usually made to fit snugly. and may
have a vest or be made quite plain, as
preferred. Louis coats and redingoies OF
the Directoire type are made with revers
outlining vests Of heavy ottoman or
moire silk. over which falls lace jabots

A CURE FOR SHYNESS.
TWO Kinds Of This Disease, Physical

TWO Kinds Of This Disease, Physical
and Mental.
There is probably DO defect which
causes so much anguish of spirit and
discomfort as shyness and blushing.
Nobody who has rot personally suf-

may cause.
Shyness may proceed from one OF
two causes--the one physical, the other
mental. II is often an affair Of health.
The nerves are out Of order, and the
will bec6Ines weak People shrink
from their fellow creatures and are
filled with an uureasoning horror Of
meeting o. speaking to them. The best
cure for this kia1 of slyness is fresh
