1t can be finished with ornamental
laps at the darts or with genuine

an excellent model for the light

make a feature and are exceedingly

The coat is made with fronts, back,
side-backs and under-arm cores. The
under-arm cores are extended to
form the under portions of the
sleeves, so allowing graceful lines
and doing away with fulness at that
point. Follower cuffs finish the
sleeve edges and a Follower collar
completes the neck.

The Same Old Mother.

'Now, jamie" said school teach
er, "if there were only pie for dessert
and there were five of you children
and papa and mamma to divide it
among, how large piece would you
get?"
"One-sixth," replied jamie, very
promptly.
But there would be seven people
there, jamie. Don't you know how
many times seven goes into one?"

of the new hairpins-those of shell,
having a plain ball at the top-were
placed among the curls and the bar

It was simply impossible to believe
there was a false hair in the whole

The seven gored skirt is always a
graceful and attractive one, and this
model has the advantage of including
the very latest features of the sea-

seam, which provide just sufficient
fulness for grace, and 1t can be closed
either at the left of the front with or
namental buttons or inyisibly at the
back as liked. 1t Is adapted to linen,
to serge, to mohalr, to all skirting
and to all suiting materials, but as IL

finished with tailor stitching.
The skirt is cut in seven cores. The
pleats effectually conceal the seams

Sager broke his leg and can't work.
We went on picnic and 1t rained and

: "FLETCHERISM." I:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. . . 9 es ssess

This Is word which has been
coined to denote peculiar dietary
idea originated and advocated by Mr..
Horace Fletcher. 1t Is a system OF
dietetics which differs from all others
in that 1t takes little or no account
OF the nature of the food, but con-
Germs itself entirely with the manner
of eating. 1t is simple in form, but
tedious in the extreme-at least to
those who do not practice 1t con-
stantly-in Its execution.
Mr.. Fletcher is an avowed enemy
of the universal habit of sitting down
to three meals day as a routine
practice, and insists upon the neces-
sity OF eating only when one is hum
cry. But this is only by the way, for
the essence of his system Is thorough
masticatlon-not thorough only, but
absolutely complete. One must chew
and chew and chew again every NOR
sci OF food taken into the mouth until
1t Is reduced to an impalpable and
tasteless fluid, which then slips down
without any conscious act of swallow
ing.
Grand results In the way OF bodily
and mental vigor are claimed for this
system. Those who practice It are
said to enjoy absolute health and to
possess great strength and powers of
endurance. Mr.. Fletcher himself.
who Is now nearly sixty years old,
is gaining prodigiously in muscular
power and in the ability to endure
great physical strain, although he as
serts that he is not in training and
that he takes no regular and system
attic exercise.
In series OF tests scientifically APP
piled at the gymnasium of Yale Uni
versity, he recently made record
one hundred per cent. better than any
previously made by trained athletes
of half his years. Naturally he and
his followers assert that this is the
direct result Of his system of mastca-
tion. Others explain it differently.
His record in this respect Is so far
ahead of that made by any other per-
son, whether an athlete or follower
of his system, that the most reason
able explanation is that it is due to a
personal peculiarity-that he is q
physical genius, as Mozart was in
music, or Napoleon in war, or Shakes.
peare in literature, and that his
dietary system has only served to de.
velop his already surprising powers
of endurance.
His excessive mastication makes
him very abstemious, for in slow eat.
ing hunger is appeased by a much
smaller amount of food than when
one bolts his food. Most persons cal
far too much, and all excess of food
puts a tax upon the vital energies
Thorough mastication is good, but
excessive mastication deprives the di
! gestive organs of their necessary
stimulus, and so is an error Mod.
Grafton is what should be practiced-
moderation in the amount of food
and moderation in its mastication.

for the return of this pretty fashion.
The "all-around-the-hea pompadour
and the stiff rows of curls, the neces-
sary support of the enormous hats,
are entirely obsolete, and reigning In
their stead are the graceful Psyche
knot, a group of just a few small
puffs or an occasional curl pinned
down to the natural hair.
With these dressings there Is a
considerable reduction in the size OF
the mass of tresses viewed from the
back, but there Is really no change In
the front, for the hair around the face
shows even fuller, flufiier effect.
One of the newest coiffures Is ex-
ceedinely girlsh looking and will be
generally becoming The front half
of the hair Is very slightly waved,
then brought back softly to the back
of the head, covering the tips of the
ears or not, as considered becoming
to the wearer. At the back 1t Is ar
ranged in knot, figure eight or any
way suggesting Grecian effects. With
this dressing side combs are not worn,
though a single comb set in to sup
port the knot of hair Is very effective.
Below the knot the short hairs are
confined by a barrette; not in the mar
row, simple bar, but a beautiful piece
of filigree shell, measuring two inches
in width and three or four inches In
length.
Some of these barrettes, especially
the amber, are lovely, and will fur
nish an exquisite decoration for a
blonde head. They are sold at vari-
Gus prices from s3.75 up; those SELL
ing at So are particularly good
value.
Another pretty style of coiffure for
thin hair can be arranged by follow
ing directions for the front hair as
described above, and then, taking that
and the back hair to the top of the
head, where it is twisted into fat
knot and pinned down close to the
head. This knot will not be very
large IL the hair Is short or thin, and
so it is covered with a group of curls
mounted on small, heart-shaped
framework.

Neptune.

Neptune Is far from being the
largest planet of our solar system.
That honor belongs to Jupiter. Nep-
tunes mean distance from the sun is
proved to be about 2,74G,000,O00
miles, and it takes the planet 1e5
years to make its revolution about
the sun. In other words, a Neptunlan
year consists of 60.2z5 OF our days.

Study the Profile.

There is probably no other one
point that makes so great difference
in ones appearance as becoming
dressing of the hair, therefore it is
worth while to study the profile and
general outline of the head before
adopting a new style.

WOMAN CLERK TO GET S225, 900.
Though disinherited by her father,
who left an estate valued at $1,000
600 at his death, Mrs. Ann s. Hard
esty, a clerk in the Postoffice Depart
ment, at Washington, d. c., will re-
ceive one-quarter of the estate, which
is principally in stocks and bonds.
Mrs. Hardesty's stepmother, Mrs.
Elizabeth May Cammack, will receive
the remainder.
When Mrs. Hardesty married
against her fathers will he disowned
her. When her husband died Mr..
Cammack sent word to his daughter
to return to his home at once and
resume the place she left to become a
bride. She refused, and with the aid
of friends obtained a place in the
Postofiice Department.
The compromise, which was ap-
proved by Judge Barnard in the Pro-
bate Court, says that the agreement
is effected in a spirit of harmony,
with a just regard to the natural
rights of the daughter and. to avoid
the unseemly and public notoriety
necessarily incident to litigation.
Mrs. Hardesty, who is about forty
years old, says that she will devote
a large part of the amount she is to
receive to charitable work.

Though 1t cannot be denied that

more natural looking coiffure is the
