observe .co%quenil's utter indifference to

And presently, even Pougeot, in spite
Of his preoccupation, began to realize
that there was something peculiar
about this night promenade, for as
they reached a ~crossroad, M. Paul or
dered the chauffeur to turn into 1t and
go ahead as fast as he pleased. The

words of protest. and then obeyed.

AN INTERESTING FACT.

A buyer OF hose in a large depart
ment store, speaking of the wear of
stockings. informed the writer thai If
llsle and silk stockings are washed be-
fore worn they will wear longer.
The reason given is that the slight
shrinkage brings the threads closer to-
gether and there Is then less danger
of rayages from imperfect stitches in
the weave.

mo Woman Is Beautiful Who
Does Not Possess Weil-M Mod
eled Back" Says Critic.
BY ADRIENNE.

A NOTED artist and critic has de-
clared that no woman is beau
tiful who does not possess a WELL
modelled and expressive back.
On the other hand. a leading fashion
authority in Paris predicts that the
decolletage of evening gowns will be
more extreme than ever.
With the utterance Of such sweeping
assertions it, therefore, behooves all
women who even aspire to beauty to
study closely this portion Of their an
atomy, especially those who display
quite literally these charms at the
opera.
Even while engrossed with the music
and theme Of the opera, 1 have had my
attention distracted by the fascination
of counting the vertebrate on the spine
of a woman in front, whose sense Of
the propriety and appreciation of the
beautiful were sadly lacking.

OLD LINEN.

When table linen becomes worn and
shows an open mesh, it may be made
more presntable If the pieces are ironed
while wet.
Some recommend using a little weak
starch, but good linen has a certain
arm texture which when iroued as
above mentioned restores much of its
original beauty and firm texture.
While the pieces must be exceedingly
damp. every article should be ironed
until perfectly dry.
