For the Thin Woman.

The first suggestion is to preserve
the height and also maintain breadth
As short skirts tend to take away the
height, s5srts should be as long as pos
sibie.
Slender women should wear princess
and empire models as height is reckon
ed by the length from the waist line
For street wear the plated skirt IN
trimmed is very much the best choice.
With this the coat must be either
short or very long, as a three-quarter
length will not be becoming.
Black hats should not be worn, for
when a black hat is worn the height
seems to stop at the face.
This may be avoided by wearing a
touch of white on the hat so that the
eye may be carried beyond the face.

Sad Tale of 4 motorist.

SAD ] ale OF motorlsc.
There was man of modest means,
But inclinations gay,
Who sold a corner lot and bought
A motor car one day.
He closed his business up to ride
Within the big machine,
And parted with his diamond ring
To buy the gasoline.
Before, along the country roads,
The sumac lit its fires,
He put a mortgage on his house
To purchase rubber tires;
And next he auctioned off his beds,
His tables and his chairs
To give the car a coat of paint
And make some slight repairs.
But speeding in the early dusk,
Without his lamps alight,
A man in blue and brass appeared
And stopped his dizzy flight.
He didn't have a single cent
To pay the fine imposed;
They took the auto for the debt,
And so the tale was closed.

ters' Attention From Her Den.
Hunters found a den of foxes in the
hills south of Hagerstown and I'M
earthed five little ones about as large
as well grown cats. The mother fox
escaped before the hunters reached
the den. which was lined thickly with
soft grasses and feathers. Instead of
running away she kept within sight
while the hunters worked with their
shovels
She apparently understood what
they were doing, for she endeavored
by every means to attract them away
She approached quite near and acted
as if lame and dist ssed She would
lie down on her sid and writhe along
the ground, uttering whines and
means. Then she would limp off as
If very lame, going very slowly and
hating frequently.
The hunters were not to be drawn
away from the work in hand by such
1NSSANoy anu bhdAly, 1AuSh ui5
ging, came upon the den where the
five pretty little fellows were shrink
ing. They made no resistance and
seemed rather to like the handling
and petting they received. All of
them were taken to a farmhouse,
where they are confined. They will
not be released, but will probably be
painlessIy despatched. Grown foxes
do not make good neighbors in farm
ing communities. Hunters say it is
very rare for mother foxes to leave
all their young in one place. 1t is
their cunning habit to scatter the fam
lily, one and two in widely separated
retreats. It is said too that foxes
will not rob roosts close to their dens,
but will go miles away for food and
carefully hide their trails.

Marriage Age Increased.

1t is generally admitted that the mar
riageable age of women has advanced
considerably of recent years. Many a
bride has long felt girlhood behind her
before she exchanges her vows at the
altar, and there seem to be few young
men nowadays who care to assume the
responsibilities of married life until
they are in the financial position usu.

Machinery which has lightened the

What a Girl should Learn.

Not everyone can learn to play, or
sing, or paint well enough to give
pleasure to her friends, but the follow
ing good habits may be acquired and
poor ones be avoided by anyone:
Never fuss or fidget.
Close the door. and close 1t softly.
Have an hour of rising, and rise.
Learn to make bread as well as cake.
Always know where your belongings
are.
Never appear at breakfast without a
collar.
Never go about with shoes unbut-
toned.
Never let button stay off twenty
four hours.
Never let a day pass without doing
something to make somebody comfort

Comes the gentle whispered greeting,
Hopes sweet voice is e'er repeating,

Haste the moments let them fly
