PURDY'S PARIS HINTS
Ia Beautiful Waist

A Beautiful Waist
My waist shows a design done in
velvet flowers, the exact shade of the
| dress. The stems were made bv cut
| ting the inch-wide ribbon in half, and
| covering a small cotton cord with il.
In using the wide ribbon it is not neces-
sary to double the ribbon Cut it the
desired length of the petals allowing
Tor seam at one end double across
and stitch At one end, turn on the right
SIDE, point the stitched end and gather
The other end on 4 round Of cotton cloth,
which serves as a foundation for the
center of French knots that are done
after flower has been basted on the
goods
The waist also shows a satisfactory
way OF altering waist too tight to look

and vest of narrow lace edge inserted.
The Use of Net
Many Of the expensive dresses show
an extensive use OF net, aud many of
the fancy imported waists are of net,
simply tucked, with long sleeves, for
morning wear, and trimmed with lace
and haud-embroidery for more dressy
occasions. One Of these simple little

In an assault and battery case tried
in a Cleveland court, the prosecuting
witness testified at length that the
defendant had knocked him senseless
and had then kicked him for several
minutes.
'If this mans attack rendered you

This quetion eemed to floor the wit

No one Is successfully educated

produce the sort OF enlightenment
which the lad gets when first he be-

The trouble with most OF our col
leges nowadays Is that the faculty of
the college live one life and the un-
dersraduates quite different one.
They are not members Of the same
community; they constitute two COM
munities. The life OF the undergrad
uate is not touched with the personal
influence OF the teacher: life among
the teachers Is not touched by the
personal impressions which should
come from frequent and intimate
contact with undergraduates. The
teacher does not often enough know
what the undergraduate Is thinking
about or what models ne Is forming
his life upon. and the undergraduate
does not know how human fellow
the teacher is. how delightfully."- ne
can talk, outside the classroom, OF
the subjects he is most Interested in,
how many interesting things both his
life and his studies illustrate and
make attractive.
This separation need not exist. and.
