Latitude in Fashions.

A fashion note from New York
tells us that considerable amount
of latitude is to be allowed to women
in the matter of new costumes. They
may wear any kind of sleeves that
they like. They may be long or short,
depending upon whether the arms
are of the kind that one wishes to
show or to conceal. But this apparent
generosity is intended only as lubri-
cant to an inflexible .rigor elsewhere.
The edict against waists and against
hips is to be enforced to the utter
most. Here there will be no latitude
and no concession. The devotee who
would fulfill the law to the uttermost
must present the appearance of hav-
ing been liquified and then poured
into the dress. And the dress is en-
tirely without those undulations that
prove the presence Of things unseen,
the waist and the hips.
The edict against waist and hips
has been received with mingled emo
tions. In some instances it meets
with easy and instant acquiescence,
but elsewhere there are protests and
maledictions. 1t is easy to under
stand a compliance that means no
more than the discarding of those
useful appliances that are prodigally
displayed at the bargain counter ard
pictorially advertised In the daily
newspapers. But how about the
ladies whose hips are fixtures and
who have received from mother ma
ture without money and without
price what less favored ones must
purchase from art and mechanical
skill? Their lot is truly a hard one,
for to the mere male mind it seems
bewildering impossibility thus to
put on and off garment OF flesh"
that is periodically blessed and
banned by tickle fashion. Training
and diet may do something, but these
things take time, and the changing
styles are always in a hurry. Not
long ago a lady in New York store
who asked for something in the latest
fashion was asked to take seat for
few minutes as the fashions were
then changing. What then must be
the fate of the fair ones who are in
vited to get rid of natural encum-
brances between dusk and dawn with
the full assurance that they will have
to replace them with a similar rapid
ity?-The Argonaut.

bertha is of embroidered banding
and the trimming on the blouse is of
insertion and lace. There are also
little buttons sewn on the outermost
tucks, which are exceedingly chic and
smart, and there is girdle of messa-
line satin. Collars are somewhat high
this season, but fortunately fashion
also allows of the Dutch neck, and
this waist can be finished in either
way, while the little close fitting
under sleeves make an attractive
feature.
The blouse is made with the lining,
which can be used or omitted as
liked, and itself consists of the full
front and backs. These last are laid
in a combination of wide and rather
narrow tucks, and the girdle is ar
ranged over the lower edge of the
lining and serves as finish to the
blouse. The bertha can be made
either from banding. mitred as illus
trated, or cut from all-over material
The close fitting lining sleeves are
faced to form the deep cuffs and the
pretty little frilled ones are arranged
over them.

Elephants Queer Diet.

A gentleman recently brought to
the British Museum about half a peck
of stones asserted to have been taken
from the stomach of an African ele-
phant. The stones are quite angular
and unworn. 1t was stated by the
donor that other instances of the
same nature are known to hunters.
If such stones are habitually swal-
lowed by elephants, one wonders, in
the first place, that they do not seri-
ously damage the molar teeth, and
secondly, why it is that they do not
become rounded. 1t may be added
that the same gentleman recently
demonstrated the existence of the
stone-swallowing habit of crocodlles.

of hat in a manner which a little

Queen Alexandra, who refuses to
wear ospreys, and has made it known
that she objects to ladies wearing
them who are in her entourage,, will
probably be of as much effect as
