A Brilliant Error

An eminent singer of foreign birth
whose appetite is such that it almost
rivals the fame of his voice, dined at a
table where all the women We're rea
sonably mature, with the exception of
the 19-year-old daughter of his host,
who sat at the great mans left. The
artist paid avid attention to his plate
until the latter stages of the repast,
when the dishes began to come slowly
enough for him to engage In conversa-
ton with the young person, to whom In
the Latin manner he paid a Latin COM
pliment, assuring her in her private
ear that to him she seemed like n
flower among vegetables"
"Then 1 can scarcely hope to occupy
first place in your thoughts-at dinner
she responded, demurely.
And the eminent singer could not
think an answer.-Harper's Weekly.

back with long ends OF velvet ribbon

An exquisite coiffure ornament
caught my eye in one Of the maga-
zines. the Lafayette. l think. of large
orchids fashioned from sheer silk and
soft velvet in charming tones of pale
mauve. deep amethyst and white. The
lovely leaness flowers were fastened
on a wire loop OF medium size, which
is intended to slip over the wearer's
head and is so fine that it disappears
under the waves of the hair. showing
nothing but the graceful petals of the

The Swimming Walk.
The Parisienne has become an ex-
pert swimmer. Such a statement
doubtless comes as a surprise to most
readers. for one knows that the aver
age French girl goes out of her way
to avoid anything athletic. / insist,
though. that the sentence shall stand
with an amendment, which reads as
follows: The Parisicnne has become
an accomplished landlubber swimmer
that is she has adopted a gait called
the swimming walk which is in evil
dcnce indoors when my lady is swathed
in trailing skirts. The swimming walk
can't be done in a tailored suit nor on
the street where skirts must be lifted.
This walk is a series of undulations,
not. however. of the sinuous type sug-
gestcd by the squirming of Salome
approaching the head of John the
Baptist. No; the twentieth century
womans indoor walk is hositant, lin
gcring. as if the weight of a heavy skirt
wae impeding her progress. In the old
Grecian bend which form of locomo-
tion bears a slight resemblance to the
present gyrations, the bend came from
the spine. In the present instance the
motion is from the knee. Look at the
statues of Greek women and you rarely
see the feet set squarely on the
ground. The knee is usually bent, and
there are relaxed lines all over tho
body given by this pose
The following instructions offered by
a fashion chronicler who is well up in
the cult may be of service TO those
with a bent for acquiring the swim
ming walk. The back must be kept
straight and one knee closely hugging
the other. The head is thrown forward.
the skirts gathered up and move
mcnt made as if to strike out and swim.
Then we are told that the right knee
must be bent while the left foot is
dragged forward on its toe, and the
/ left knee bent while tho right foot is
dragged forward on its toe. The point
/ seems to be not TO allow either foot
to leave tho ground. These instruc-
/ tions. ] trust. may be Of use If taken
/ seriously the above hints may help any
woman not too heavily handicapped
with adipose to get right 'in the
SWIM" but naturally tho willowy
/ creature who skins tho ground like a
/ bird will come out winner with no
unlIind remarks being made about her
undulations suggesting a "lop."
