The very broad-shouldered athlete
who has been the popular model for
illustrators whether they are making
clothing advertisements or pictures
for best sellers is no longer the mode.
He has had his day, and the man with
more normal shoulders is now pre-
ferred.
"The padded out shoulders that
have been characteristic of the ready
to-wear clothing" said one of the illus
traitors, went into the discard weeks
ago and now they are supplying the
inspiration for the comics. In the
same way the man with thick muscles
and biceps is no longer in demand

In the way of practical coats and
ordinary walking dress the average
world is still considered. and as few
women can afford the setting which
goes with the more startling effects,
perhaps the commonplaceness of these
is desirable. At any rate, the woman
who is expert with her needle will find
in many more than one suggestion
for making over old clothes.

Frank sat beside her in the little par

father, in the library adjoining, pored

the heart of the student.
1t all came back to her so clearly.
They were talking of Halloween super

that on this one night evil things
might creep up and ghosts walk
abroad unchallenged. She had smiled
incredulously, with her hand resting
on Franks broad shoulder and his
arm around her. But now?
She shuddered and hid her face in
her hands. For in the flames she
seemed to see the history of the

Franks sullen departure for the

Horses in Literature.

In sacred writ it was deemed worthy
of record that Solomon imported
horses from Egypt, while the descrip-
ton of the war steed in Job is ac-
counted one of the finest parts of
that finest piece of literature. In
Greek myth and English satire the
qualities ascribed to Centaur and
Houyhnhnm testify sufficiently to the
high regard in which the horse has
ever been held. The name of Buceph.
alus is inseparably coupled with
that of Alexander. At least one Roman
emperor had divine honors paid his
charger. Who can picture Don
Quixote sleeping on his armor with
out seeing the princely Rozinante teth-
cred un61r the dewy night? And the
stirring incidents of John Gilpin's ride
conclusively proved that the racing
blood of far removed equine ancestors
was not entirely wanting in the de-
generate descendant - Washington
