Ancients Wore Sheath Gowns.

1t need not be supposed that even
feminine fashions can evolve some
thing new under the sun. A learned
Psychologist discloses that the sheath
gown was popular among the ladies of
the Nile Is centuries before the Chris
tian Era. One gown was made of fine
linen, adorned with elaborate designs.
The professor thinks that the slit in
the side was intended to display the
wearer's precious anklets. These an
cient ladies also dressed their hair
elaborately with puffs and padding.
They painted their faces and lips, as
shown by rouge and pomade jars. All
of this is reassuring to man who may
have thought that some of the modern
developments of the dressmaker were
without precedent in their eccen-
tricity. Once more is demonstrated
the fit coupling on the words "eter-
nal" and feminine"

Dean Meant.

The lady dean of well-known

noyed that the girls after chapel on
Sunday morning waited around the en-.
trance of the assembly room and
stood in groups on the stairs instead
of dispensing at once, resolved to in.
stitute a reform. So at the regular
chapel service one morning she arose
with much dignity and made the fol.
lowing remarks:
81 have noticed growing tendency
among you young women to linger
about the chapel Sunday mornings,
blocking the halls and stairs. Here.
after the following order will be pre-.
served in leaving chapel: First the
president will pass away. Then will
pass away. Then the faculty members
will pass away, and finally the stu.
dent body by classes will pass away,
and we will all meet below"
