TO SIT GRACEFULLY.

When sitting, says the Delineator,
be sure that your hips are never
brought farther forward than your
shoulders. The proper way is to get
your hips as far back as possible in
the chair and firmly settled there.
Then you can imagine the upper part
OF your body stem, swaying as it
will. You can bend forward or side
ways. but you will never want to bend
back, and even If you grow to be
stout you will still look well when.
sitting and If you want to lean back
in a steamer chair you may even be
graceful.-New Haven Register.

and sleeves are cut in one have the
effect of a drapery about the should,

DON'T CARE FOR DRESS.

The Russian Empress cares little
for dress, though her coronation robe
of cloth of silver and pearls was
marvellous thing. And she looked
like some goddess of the North in
novel ball dress l designed for her
recently. 1t was a Simple" gown
of white velvet with a long train and
superb veil. This last was kept in
its place by a jewelled white dove
lightly perched on the Tsaritsa's hair,
which was arranged over cushion.
Carmen Sylvia, the white-haired Queen
of Roumania, affects the charming
flowing draperies Of her country, with
a long lace veil held in position with
jewelled pins. The favorite color of
Queen Elena of italy is a soft blue.

most at home in tailor-made gown,

WOMEN THE BEST FIBBERS.
An oath does mean something to
o woman, but she is more clever than
the man when placed on the stand
and can usually get around things in
a better way.
A woman will lie and fib If it Is
necessary, but back of 1t all there Is
more tact used than she is general
ly given credit for. Any woman who
goes on the stand to testify should
know perfectly well what she is go
ing to say and do. The lawyers are
mighty clever, but in the majority
of the cases they are outwitted by
the women.

usually entrap themselves. There can
be no great division, however, between
the man and woman when 1t comes to
perjury, as the man will tell a lie

versa.-Edna Wallace Hopper.
FIRST WHITE BRIDAL GOWN.
The first bride to wear white silk
wedding gown was Mary Queen of
Scots, who introduced the fashion in
1858, when she married Francis IL
of France. Her dress was of white
brocade, but over it she wore court
mantle of Persian blue velvet, which
was held up by two pages. For some
time the white wedding dress was
favored only by brides of high rank,
and it was not till the end of the
seventeenth century that it became
general at weddings. At the close
of the middle ages scarlet was worn
by brides on their wedding day, and
scarlet is still the bridal color in
