sTEDDY BEARS" FOR GROWN

The toymakers who first put the
"Teddy bears" on the market had
q happy thought. They not only
paid fitting tribute to the mighty

Curie, the appropriateness c. Vnlch
seems not to have been questioned by
the savans or the public of France,
has attracted immense attention IN
scientific and academic circles, not
only because Of it's uniqueness, put
because Of Nine. Curie's profound

gently quashed the whole business.
"Such demonstrations" she said.
"were quite contrary Il my has

Although a doctor of Science when
she married Professor Curie, Nine.
la Proffesseuse is a young woman
still. Physically she belongs to the
pure Polish type, being slim or HS-
ure, light haired and with graylsn
blue eyes. The unusual development
of the forehead is the most strlklna
feature. of the face, which shows a
firm chin and a strongly cut mouth.
One popularity, however. lies in the
softness of expression in the eyes,
which seem to be sunk deep in the
head.
Nine. Curie speaks and writes
French with facility, slight foreign
accent lending piquancy to her
speech. She is far from being absorb

BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.

Great Obstacle.

way of fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity. they
became so tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that tSey
now feel that it is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discov-
cred that if she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, it could be fastened
from top to bottom, with the excep-
tion Of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without un-
duly straining the fastenings. So sim
pie! So strange that no one had
thought of it before. Or is it possible
other women have used the plan and
meanly kept it to themselves? VIII

plainant, and involving the titles to some
valuable timber lands. The lands were
sold for taxes some fifteen or twenty
years ago, and has since passed through

there are some technical differences in
