WASPLIKE WAISTS
ARE COMING BACK
London Hints That WiIIOWy
Lines Will DiSpIaCe Solid
ity Of Girl

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2i-There was a
time not long distant when young ladies'
were as sconful of waist lines as the
Venus de Milo.
They toiled on the hockey field. on the
tennis court and IN the gymnasium to ac-
cure tho physique of stone-age man,
and she who displayed the defect Of a
curve at the waist was held in the Same
profound contempt by the athletic girl
as the old-fashioncd heroine who display
cd emotion over Bulwef's poetry and
swoonod as consclontiously as she shifted
sal-voatile.
But an this is past and prognostications
OF 1870, styles say that 'he girls of this
year viii be cut on the bias instead Of the
square Gone is the Gothic solid,ty OF the
athletic girl. and. according to latest hints
from London, the maid of the coming
season will have the dainty taporlng waist
OF an Elizabethan.
These prophecies are uttered by those
authorities who say that you can base
a prophecy upon the lines Of tho hgur,
with more certainty than on the lines OF
the hand. Fashions seors say that @ re.

decline OF the corset. FOR instance, ihl

The ermine is a queer animal It IS
one thing in winter and another thing
In summer. In winter its fur is as
white as snow. and It is called the or
mine. In summer it turns a reddish
brown on the upper part Of the body
and a light yellow on the lower part,
ana Il IS then called the stoat This
change is familiar TO naturallsts. but
not to ordinary people. and the ermine
and the stoat are therefore generally
regarded as distinct animals. The fur
Of the ermine Is much valued. At one
time II was a mark Of royalty, and the
state robes Of judges and magistrates
were lined with It as an emblem Of
purity The crmine is so cunning In
its ways that It Is almost as difficult to

A Chase Almost as Rapid AZ Flashes

a humming bird with an angry dash
expressed its disapproval Of the pres.

turned.
In short. the bird and the bee con-
trolled the movements Of their bodies
more quickly ana more accurately than
he could control the movements Of his
eyes. The chase was al over IN half
the time that it takes to tell it, but the
excitement Of a pack Of hounds after
a fox was no greater. The bee escap.

there is no possible explanation OF It's
