WASP WAISTS NOT FASHION.

Every spring the cry arises that
wasp waists will soon be here. but a
celebrated French dressmaker who
usually manages to take the wind out
of the sails of all other establish
ments by his creations, which are
dreams of splendor and beauty. says
no. I'VE are trying to introduce more
graceful gowns for 1907" he says,

With wasp waists women are a de-
spair, for they shuttle. stride and
scurry along as though they were me-
chartical toys. The girl of today who
can walk gracefully possesses an at
traction equal to any talent that may
be mentioned" A beauty specialist

MAXIMS OF A WORLDLY WOMAN

If men would pay their wives
more attentions they would have tc
pay fewer bills. Many woman tries
to smother the ache in her heart by
piling real lace over it.
No woman is so circumspect as
she who has something to hide
A man is as old as his arteries.
A woman Is as old as her articles.
There are women who have so
many children it leaves them no time
in which to be a mother.
| The servant question will never be
settled until a perfect woman is born
who has every virtue under the sun
and is willing to work for fifteen dol
lars month.
The real test of self-abnegating
friendship between women is when
one woman refrains from telling an
other that her new hat is ten years
too young for her.
Pity opens the gales to the heart
Envy locks and bars them. This is
why the poor have more friends than
the rich.
Love is the only thing that is eter-
nal. We remember the foolish fond
words of affection that some one said
to us long after we have forgotten the
wise advice of the sage or the vitu-
peration of our enemies.
A woman can no more help prob
ing into a secret that it will break
her heart to know than she can help
pressing her tongue against a sore
tooth.
Most men expect to be passed into
heaven on their wives church let !
