ENDED THE SPELLING LESSON

TuteIage, Afterward Proceeded
Under Different Lines.

Miss Thompson. whose form nature
has endowed with all-too-ampIe

lesson in spelling the other day. He
had spelt be, be, and he, he. and
now she was trying to get him to tell
her what me, spelt.
Listen, Bobby" she said earnest

nounced the sound of long m, and
opening them, the sound of long e..
What does that spell?"
Bobby looked at her and shook his

while pronouncing the sounds, she Wig

WILL WELCOME NEW CoRSETS
Very Graceful and Comfortable Are
the Lines That Have the In
dorsement of Paris.

Lower in bust than ever are the
stays. and the sloping shoulders OF
the kimono sleeve and the graceful,
draped fichu are but tendencies which
pointed the way for this new figure.
Some of the newest Partisan cor
sets are but mere girdles above the
waist-quite frequently not reaching
to the bust. The idea is to give one
long line shoulder to waist-a gently
sloping line with the bust as low as
possible.
set growing shorter! Far from It!
Longer and still longer grow
mademoiselle's stays-one wonders
how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many of them are
not heavily boned, but beautifully
shaped and SO arranged that the fig
ure may be kept slim and youthful
below the waist line.
Not below the waist line alone,
however. is the figure to be youthful
but above 1t as well. The high,
lifted waist line, the low bust. the
slim. sloping shoulders-all this is
calculated to keep madame from
showing the ravages of time-to keep
her youthful as possible.
Very comfortable, indeed, are these
new corsets, for If they hold the body
trim and tight below the waist line
they keep 1t supple and free above
the waist, allowing ease and freedom
of movement and perfect comfort.

The corsage is bloused into a narrow
taffeta belt quite simply, and around
the throat lies soft cream lace col
larette. The skirt is also bloused
just above the knees, over a broad
band of fur, which rises a little be-

into careless, fat sort of bow, which
hangs not quite in the middle, behind.
The sleeves are long and have a
touch of creamy lace at the wrists.

Pool Bali In His Mouth.

Philadelphia. - Robert Wilson, a
youth living at 1880 North Eighth
street, made bet with several COM
panions that he had the largest mouth
in the crowd. and to prove his asser-
ton thrust a pool ball between his
Jaws.
He won the wager. but lost several
teeth. for the ivory ball fitted his
mouth so well that 1t took two hours
work on the part of physicians at the
Children's Homeopathic hospital to re.
move the ball. and that was accom-
nlished only after the forceps had
been used.
Wilson walked to the hospital with
his friends. The physicians first told
him to force the ball out with his
tongue. His efforts were unavailing
and the pain from his distended jaws
SO great that 1t was determined TO
sacrifice five front teeth

GAVE TOUCH OF ORIGINALITY
How One Clever Girl Evolved In
genious Scheme That Is Worthy
to Become Fashion.

Seeing in the shops the tiny mar
row bands of folded black satin, with
their long silken or heavy beaded tas-
sells, used as neck finish, a certain
ingenious girl added the touch of
originality to her new afternoon gown
by making, to go with 1t, a tie of
braided folds of black satin
The little tie was of the usual
three strand braiding. the satin strips
being very small and carefully blind
stitched along the entire length. 1t
was long enough to go around the
neck and hang almost to the waist,
the ends being worked into a clever
little 'rosette," with a jet beaded
center. Another tiny medallion Gov
