Hints of 1860.

There have also been hints Of the 1860

are all a matter of bodice. sleeve, and

any premiere danseuse will tell them,
strengthens the muscles of the foot and

Miss Gray will also teach her pupils
to walk and stand gracefully, accom-

asking o how many Jumps OF sugar
you want, do no worry or repine. She
has got her v on you all right.
Husband.-You ought to be ashamed
OF yourself to ask us. We will posi-
lively not call upon your wife and try
to square it for you. The last time we
did that for q friend it nearly caused
a divorce in our family. If you were
foolish to stay out until Q o'clock one
night you will have to do your own
fixing. That beatitude concerning the
~peacemaker doesn't hold good today.
Hank.-1t is perfectly proper to give
your friend that cut glass dish for a

should be exercised in that regard. as a
mistake Is apt to prove embarrassing.
Angeltne.-Because your young man
plays the mandolin is no sign that he
won't make a success in life. Perhaps
he may outgrow 1t in time, but we
wouldn't marry him until he does IL
we were you.
Anxious Wife: Your problem Is q
serious one. You Ask me to tell you
what your husband is doing with that

he is leading a double life; that he is
taking joy rides and buying wine Every
