The Ever Changing Waist Line.

CONSIDER the mental agility It takes
to keep up with ones waist line. One
goes to bed at night in the sweet assur-
ance that it will be under the arms for
the next two or three months at any
rate, and awakes to learn from the
headlines in the morning papers that
waist line is positively at the knees.
There is absolutely no use in prognos-
ticating anything about it any longer.
That the waist line occurred at the
waist was an axiom accepted as un-
questionably as that the earth revolves
on its axis, but in these days of higher
criticism is likely to be anywhere. 1t
