WOMAN.
Untamed and forever the tAmslenss ~
The frail yet forever the free.
Unshamed and forever the shameisss.
The top of creation 10 she.
All civilizations have passed her
And left her barbarian stili.
Ana the man who dreamed he 10 mas
Is simply the slave of her will.
she shippers ana glances demurely,
And looks like a saint as she goes;
As sweet as lily, yet surely
She's leading some man by the nose.
For hers are the primeval resources
OF strong, unregenerate sense;
Duplicity marshals her forces
And art is her subtle defense
Oh, man, you may marvel and wonder
May reason and argue and, fret;
Oh, man, you may buster and blum
You never have conquered her yet!
You lecture and tutor and teach her,
But still she 10 ever the same.
The free irresponsible creature
That nothing can fetter or tame. :

FRENCH WOMEN ADOPT
Short skirts for everyday time func-
lions, have been taken up to an ex-
traordinary degree by the smart
French women. The correct length Is
to absolutely clear the ground In
walking.
Naturally the width. at the hem. all
ways ample. depends on the size OF
the hips. In some disposition or an
other plaits prevail, and usually they
form as the plaits themselves.
Narrow at the back, measuring three
or four inches, the yoke slopes lower
