new SHORT STORIES
Prudence of a French diplomat

An amusing little adventure hap
pened the other day to the new French
prime minister. NJ. BRAND. He paid
an official visit to little town in the
southeast of France which is famous
for it's clocks and watches. The min
lister opened the local exhibition, and
after the speeches the local mayor pre-
scented him with magnificent chro-
nometer made in the town.
"If your exceIIency will allow" he
said, I'VE will keep the watch for =
few days and regulate it"
M. BRAND, who, though Socialist
has a sense of humor, comes from the
south of France himself and knows
that promises there are not always
kept He knew, too, that colleague
had the same watch given to him last
year, that it had been kept to be
regulated and that it had not yet
reached Paris So NJ. BRAND prime
minister of France, shook M. lie Marie

A Type often Met.

George Gould was talking in the
salon of the Kaiser Wilhelm II. of
the queer characters met on shipboard
There was never a ship yet, said
Mr. Gould, that did not have one per-
son aboard who boosted eternally of
the number of times he had crossed
the Atlantic Now it is thirty
times, now it is ninety-six times. Ev-
cry ship carries Invariably this one
passenger who seems to have devoted
his whole life to making record for
Atlantic crossings.
II once heard a Detroit girl poke
little fun at passenger of this type.
He said to her:
"'Do you know, this is my fifty
seventh crossing?
Ills it, she said indifferently. Its
my ninety-eighth.'
" Really the man explained.
"'Oh, yes. indeed she answered,
yawning. It's an old story with me
crossing the Atlantic now. Why, ac-
tually. l always recognize more than
half the waves we meet.

The Direetoire Gown q Blessing.

There is an interesting fact about
the much talked of directoire styles
which has been pretty generally over
looked. Most people who talk or write
about the slender, willowy effect of the
new fashions refer to them as if they
were decidedly injurious and as if
| women were undergoing great torture
In giving themselves the long straight
lines that the styles demand.
But, as matter of fact, the change
In the figure has been decidedly bene-
fetal
1t sounds startling, but the directoire
styles have done more for hygienic
dressing than any dress reform move
ment ever started.
In reducing the hips the waist meas
ure has been enlarged. and as soon
as the waist was enlarged the dia-
phragm was let loose and women
breathed. The corsetieres have risen
to the occasion and are now vying
with one another in the production of
hygienic corsets. The poor diaphragm,
too, has responded to every act OF
kindness and natural breathing is now
the rule among all women who really
know what is up to date. And with
natural breathing come a correct and
dlgnified poise. graeeHof movement and
bust and lung development, all of
which are undeniably desirable. So ii
will be sorry day, after all, when the
much ridiculed tube gown disappears
and hips again proclaim their exist
ence.
