ITS fact" he said. Il don't know
just how to account for 1t, but 1t is a
physical fact that mans legs grow

quarters of an inch shorter than 1t

counts for it. AS man develops a
bay window, fat develops on the upper
part of his legs, and our measure
ment from the fork OF the trousers
down has to be reduced accordingly,
the growing fat absorbing considerable
of the actual length. And just as the
leg length is reduced, the length over
the abdomen and hips is increased, be-

as rs years ago when "rose-ruch' trim
ming was used on cloth and silk
gowns. This trimming was made OF
silk, raveled out two inches at the
edge, and double box plated in ruche
fashion. 1t was used to edge sleeves,
overskirts and the fronts of bodices.
Now the rose-ruche is back under
splendid auspices, for it is introduced
by Doeuillet, famous Paris dress,
maker--and back it comes on an old
timey polonaise at that This straight
gown is trimmed at sleeve edge with
silk ruche trimming frayed out in the

ANHTURERcUIOSIS CAMPAIGN.

The campaign against tuberculosis
IS making progress beyond doubt,
although it is very much slower
than could be desired, and there
are obstacles difficult to overcome.
Among these are ignorance, careless
ness and poverty. If these could be
eliminated the subbordness of the
disease itself would offer less resist
ance to the attacks that are being
made everywhere. 1t is possible at
least to increase the knowledge of
tuberculosis and reduce the careless
ness in respect to it, and without
doubt it viii be found wise policy
to extend as far as possible the aids
held out to those without means pro-
perly to care for themselves. The
spread of knowledge of the fact that
the disease can if taken in hand early
enough, and of the precautions nee
essary to make cures possible and to
preventive infection of others isper.
haps the most important factor in
making head against tuberculosis

impulsive, willful young woman who

these chances she will have to take.
