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
deliberately 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"

THEIR PLACE OF MEETING
Inference Plainly Set Forth Was Not
by Any Means What the Lady
Dean Meant.

The lady dean of a well-known
girls college, being very much an
noyed that the girls after chapel on
Sunday morning waited around the en-
trance of the assembly room andl
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:
Il have noticed growing tendency
among you young women to nnger
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 | VIII
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
1t is needless to say why she never
finished her sentence.

For young mani resolve from
this day never again to smoke a pipe
in church. This sample is highly
recommended. The practice against
which you issue the edict of Danish
ment is reprehensible in the highest
degree. Smoking, while of course it
might be solace to you during the
sermon, could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers. The
men envy you, leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them. The
preacher is unable to see whether all
the deacons are awake or not by the
haze from your pipe. Moreover, just
as distinguished statesman once Of
ficially declared that the odor of
cigarettes annoyed him there are
those to whom the smell of a pipe is
nuisance and the offertory collector
might be one of these. Besides, you
would probably be thrown out or ar

times you can make yourself believe

the principal advantage to be cited in

The practice of resolving presents
similar aspect. 1t is not entirely
perfect at present. But considering
the few years since Adam inaugurated
the outdoor sleeping fad and became
grandpa to the human race it is not
surprising that some details are still
to be worked out. The forming of the

novice, can resolve. The date, too,
has been firmly fixed as on the first
