If women really understood the
merciful influence of brim shading at
least a little of the brow and eyes few
would have the audacity to dispense
with that aid to beauty, save when for

really small hat.
So much for common sense. Now for

GET THE BYZANTINE HIPLEsS
FIGURE

Byzantine is the name for the new
figure. To be truly Byzantine you
must be truly hipless. This means that
you must be so well shaped that you
can wear the thin, loose clinging stuffs
without looking odd in them. You
must be SO slight that you will sway
At the same time you must be plump
in your hands and arms and quite full
in the face. You can acquire this only
by the right kind of exercise and diet.
For exercise walk long and persist

tuce with salt on it, not dressing
These greens act as brooms to the
stomach. To get the Byzantine figure
you must learn the polite art of dress
ing correctly. To be sure you're prop

Lift your arms high. Open and close
your fingers. Bend until your finger

FEED THE BRUTE.

ONCE upon q time youthful bride
sought the counsel of an expert
enced matron as to the best way Of re-
tanning the love and affection Of her
husband. and the elder woman replied
with epigramatic terseness. Feed the
brute"
appears on the surface. and it 10 worth
while for every married woman to con-
slider whether it would not pay her to
put the precept into practice.
A man, being intended to perform
harder work than a woman, is congti-
tuted by nature to require more food
than she finds sufficient, and whenever
the two sexes are placed on rations the
doctors have decided that a woman can
thrive on only two-thirds Of the quaint
ty that is necessary for a man.
Again, the early training has no
doubt something to do with It, for most
mothers make a distinction in the
quantity and nature of the food which
they give to their little sons and to
their daughters.
In the early days Of the world It is
said Jacob asked for savory meats that
he loved. and male human nature has
not altered much since his day except

for the Smart Girl

SEPARATE braid tunics bid fair to
be worn this season on linen suits
The braid is of linen and infrequently
made of silk. The design is a narrow
latticework. The braid crosses itself in
small squares and is tightly knotted
at each intersection. Over this work
runs a design more or less elaborate,
done in heavy padded stitch either of
silk or mercerized floss. The effect is
not unlike that of the sleeveless coat
worn last summer.
Among the new automobiling coats
the smart loose woven tweeds and
homespuns play an important part
These coats are all strictly tailor made
models Some of the warm tawny
yellow or russell tones with big but
tons or tortoise shell or mother-of
pearl and Innings of changeable MESA
line are very chic models despite their
severity.
A touch of black enters into the
trimming of many tub gowns. A
French idea in this connection is the
introduction of two long vertical Sits
on the chest or bust and similar Sits
on the turnback or plain cuffs of
three quarter or elbow sleeves. These
Sits are buttonholed in the color of
the material, and through them wide
black ribbons are run. The ribbon is
tied in large smart bow on the blouse
front and in small bows on the sleeves
This trimming gives a knowing air to
even a plain blouse and skirt.

Underwear of cotton Grape is a new
fad that will be popular this summer
1t is not the crinkly kind that one as

but a softer fabric. For travelling or

facilities are limited such underwear
should prove a boon, because neither
starch nor ironing is necessary. A

Parasol handles this summer are
a compromise between the very long

colors are most liked. Bright royal
blue is a favorite shade with bronze
green as another choice.

ROUND AND ROBBED.

While returning TO Stuebenvillc,
Ohio, Frank Canpisi, an Italian, was
held mp by three masked bandits near
the Panhandle station and robbed OF
1925. which he had collected at Wier-
ton. After covering Canpisi with re-
volyers, the bandits tied his hands aud
feet with a large hemp rope, and, dis
charging their firearms in the air, dis
appeared in the woods. With his feet
and hands tied, Canpisi rolled down an
enbankmcnt, and getting on his hands
and knees, crawled along tho muddy
road in a heavy downpour of rain to
the Lrdge, where he was found, hopping
like a frog, by the toll-keeper. Moro
dead than alive, the Italian was able to
tell but little OF his experience, and it
was necessary to call a phi ysician to re-
yiye him.
