The problems of girdes Is one of the most serious with which the home dressmaker must cope, The day when a neat leather belt in subdued cooring for the dark tailored suit, q white leather belt for summer frocks and perhaps one pretty silk girdle for summery effects were all sufficient is now past. The up-todate girl has practically a girdle for every gown, and one which seems eithe ra part of the gown or made especially to har- monize with 1t.
 The stout woman solves the problem by having narrow stitched girdle to match all her tailored suits and a few flat. narrow folds of silk or a piping of velvet or silk on the girdle of her dressier raiment. But the thin wo- man and the moderately heavy tall woman are fairly reveling in girdles.

He is a very small boy, but he has
very much smaller sister, wee
baby. who arrived only a few weeks
ago. The small boy was delighted.
Never had he seen anything SO little
or so interesting.
Could the baby see, could she hear,
could she eat, did she have teeth. and
why didn't she talk and walk? Those
were a few of the questions he asked.
Answers not being altogether salts
factory, he began a personal investiga-
ton. He opened the baby's eyes when
she was asleep to see where her eyes
had gone to anyway; he opened her
mouth in search Of teeth, and it was
here that the family came to the res
cue, and the small boy was told that
be could never visit his baby sister
without clasping his hands closely be-
hind him.
''He loves the baby so that he stands
by the half hour just looking at her, :"
said the proud mother Of both young
sters to a visitor. "And he is so hon
orable that he never thinks Of taking
his hands from behind his back. Just
come and see him now" But as the
two entered the nursery mamma gave
wild scream as she rushed for her
baby.
There was the small boy, his hands
clasped tightly behind his back, to be
sure but the baby not having respond

taken her silence FOR consent and was
humping heads with her.-New York

very self possessed witness. Not
withstanding Mr.. Webster's repeated
efforts to disconcert her she pursued
the even tenor Of her way until Web
ster, becoming quite fearful of the re-
suit arose, apparently in great agi-
tattOn, and, drawing out his large
snufbox, thrust his thumb and finger
to the very bottom and, carrying
deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it up
with gusto, and then, extracting from
his pocket very large handkerchief, he
blew his nose with a report that rang
distinct and loud through the crowded
hall
He then asked, Mrs. Greenough, was
