Origin of Etiquette.

The French word etiquette" really
means a label" or ticket" How.
then. comes 1t to denote conventional
forms of ceremony"
1t is said that certain Scottish gar
dener in charge of Louis XIV's gar
den at Versailles was very much put
out because the courtiers walked over
his beds. TO keep Off these trespassers
he placed labels or tickets-"eti-
quettes"-at various spots. with in
structions as to the proper path. At
first the naughty courtiers did not
deign TO notice these placards. but a
hint from high quarters that their
walks In future must be within the
"etiquettes" compelled their obedience.
Thus. according to the story. origi-
mated our present use of the word ''eti-
quette."

AMERICAN WoMAN's FIGURE,
Corset Maker Says 1t is Finest ir
Whole World.

One of our local masculine corset
makers is quoted to the effect that the
American woman has the finest figure
in the world. This may be true-in
fact. We think it is true beyond doubt
but such a statement comes with ill
grace from a man who deyotes his
time tO-makes his living by, in fact
distorting and Disgusting the Ameri-
can woman's figure.
There seems good reason for douh
ing the competence of any corset
maker to give an opinion on what
constitutes a good figure. He is, man.
ifestly, prejudiced by his trade and
its traditions Note the strange bulg-
ings and cons trictions which have
marked his progress down the ages
since the days of the Virgin Queen"
AS an example of what can be done
with the human body, his records are
unique. but they have nothing to do
with beauty or art.
The straight front anu the round
front the short waist and the long
waist, the hipless and hippy styles
are. or rather We're. wonderfully in
genius creations no doubt, but the
Venus of Milo. untrammeled and I'M
adorned. unconstricted and unbulged.
still holds the center of the stage,
and remains the traditional model OF
feminine form and beauty.
Why. then. should the corset max
or claim any special right to dis
course upon and deliver opinions re-
oardipy famipina haauty7 He would
be far wiser if he hid his head when
the subject was up and shun the pub
lie glare. For he has done more to
destroy the American woman's figure
than all other forces combined, not
excluding overeating and lack of ex-
Ell else. AS a result of his operations
the only place where the American
wons figure can be studied in its
natural condition is the nursery.-New

INCREASED ASSESSMENT.

II Is gratifying to note that the ex-
pected decrease in the citys taxable
real estate values was not forthcom-
ing. Our real estate valuations were
abnormally high at the time the 1908
assessment WAS made. yet the 1910 as
sessment shows total more than one
hundred thousand dollars in excess OF
that of 1905. improvements and in
creases in the assessments of proper
ty owned by the Old Dominion Land
Company and the shipyard are respon-
sible for the increase. but there Was
no marked decrease in the valuation of
property generally in the city.
1t must be remembered that while
practically every other city in the
State has been extending its limits so
as TO take in suburban territory, New
port News belated effort in that d.
rection failed. Our limits are just
where they were when the federal
census Of 1900 was taken. and many
of our most prominent and prosperous
citizens have moved into the suburbs
and spent their money improving
there.
