When that little bell goes tingling
with a tingle full of glee,
My heart gives one delighted throb be-
cause it's just for me.
A voice of music cheering,
With dulcet tones endearing,
Says, Hello, sweetheart mine!7 and
then I know tbs just for me.
When | hear that bell a-tingling It is
music sweet to me-
Vibrating through my heart and brain
until it seems to be
A whispering angel calling.
My heart and soul enthralling;
And so l love the tingling, when it
tingles just for me.
And the ringing and the tingling, how
it sets my heart aglow!
And then it brings my sweethearts
voice-thats why love it SOL
All, little bell caressing,
How oft you've had my blessing
When I've heard you call a-tingling
when you tingled just for me!

DEBTS, will be chosen in regard TO
u the size of the waist. The slight.
tall figure may still wear the wide Cir
dies of her young days should she so
prefer and no very material difference
need be made in regard to colors any
more than is prompted by good taste.
The short woman will wear a fairly
narrow belt that matches her gown
in color, if not in material, and so
avoid cutting the figure, which, OF
course, detracts from ner height The
too generous waist must be enclrcled
by a narrow Delt, and this, too, VIII &c
better if made of the same color as
the gown. Otherwise it should be
black, and preferably OF elastic. The
buckles may be as handsome as one
chooses.

Krach de la Beaute" (the downfall OF
beauty, written by Marcel Provost,
who has given to the world many de-
lightful studies of Partisan life, and in
this latest he speaks a simple II not
readily realized truth. Should any
one attempt nowadays, he says, in a
salon of any pretension to start a dis
cussion as to who might be the most
beautiful woman in Paris not the least
interest would be aroused, but once
suggest that Nine. X. is the most ele-
giant and every one will take part.
Twenty eager disputants will be ready
to break lance with you on behalf OF
rival claimants. In Paris a woman
beautiful without elegance, in the
French sense of the word, commands
no position. If she be elegant as well
as beautiful, she counts exactly &C
cording to the degree of her elegance.
The French critic also says that beau
ty of feature no longer counts for ev-
erything. In fact, it counts for very
little unless backed up by grace OF
form, subtle intelligence, genius in the
affairs of dress and chic. Indeed, if a
woman be endowed with the last nam
ed mysterious quality she need not
bother about the rest, for her success
is assured. We all know that, as a
rule, the women of France are not
beautiful, but they absolutely rever-
ence the good points they possess and
dress with a chic that in Itself is
species of beauty. If nature has Gre
ated them beautiful of form or feat
ure, so much the better, but if not
there is always art. And the Partisan
does not spell it with a capital A. She
does not draw attention to it, but she
uses it.
All this only shows that natural
beauty is not everything. There is an
art in being beautiful.
The other day l was asked to define
the difference between dowdiness and

none too easy to answer We may say
hat the poise of hat, the cut of a
coat, the hang of a skirt and the
of shades or fabrics or tex

my powers of discrimination until it
to me that perhaps the re-
llizing of the relation of one garment
% another and of each and all to their
constituted the radical differ
snce between the "dowd" and the ele-
yante. For instance, take the hat and
he face below it. One woman will

IN her head and plant it there with

hair, face and hat as one corporate
