Push Out the Chest.


Look at your figure in the next full
length mirror you see, says the Wom-
ans World. Nine chances out of ten
your chest curves in, your shoulders
round like bow, your stomach pro-
trudes, and your chin is thrust for
ward like a prizefghter's. Now make
an experiment. Take a long breath.
push your chest out and hold it to that
position. Behold a miracle! Your
shoulders straighten till your back lis
like line, your stomach retreats. and
your chin assumes a position of mod
est dignity. Now you are standing
correctly, and if you place any value at
all upon a good appearance you must
practice this position until it becomes
second nature. Remember that the
grand secret is, Push out the chest
The rest Of the figure will take care
Of itself.

A Curious Windstorm.

A peculiar freak of weather is the
storm called the "williwau." This
form Of storm is confined to that far
off island TERRA del Fuego. The coast
is indented with deep fiords crowned
with high mountains. Down from
their gerges drops the williwau. A
low, hoarse muttering is heard in the
distance. Suddenly. without the least
preliminary puff, fearful blast Of
wind drops upon the sea. The water
Is not raised into waves. but driven
into fine dust. Fortunately the shock
lasts but ten or twelve seconds. and
calm follows at once, for no vessel
could stand such wind for even half
a minute. During the corning and go
ing Of a williwau the barometer may
be watched to drop tenth of an inch
or more and rise again at once.

SUPREME COURT GOWNS.
They Are Made of the Finest Silk and
Are Quite Costly

They Are Made of the Finest Silk and
Are Quite Costly.
It Is said that the cut and style of
the gowns worn by the justices of the
supreme court Of the United States are
SO peculiar that it is not always posi-
BILE to have one correctly made.
The wife o. d former justice used to
enjoy telling Of her trying experiences
when she wished to have made in Par
is the gown her husband was to use.
The gowns worn there by scientists,
scholars and students differ altogether
from those our justices wear.
In London any clerical tailor would
have understood the kind of gown de-
sired, but not so in Paris. Wherefore,
after many failures, the Justices wife
gave instructions to the fashionable
modiste who made her gowns. This
modiste was entirely successful in
turning out gown for the justice.
The justices gowns, which are al
ways of the best quality Of silk, cost
upward Of $100. When the supreme
court was first organized the justices
wore quite gaudy gowns.
A portrait in Oil of the first chief JUS
tice, John Jay, now hangs in the rob-
ing room opposite the supreme court
chamber, and in this portrait the chief
justice is represented as wearing a
black gown with a broad bright red
border around the neck and down the
front 1t is edged with gray, and the
sleeves show a red border at the top
and bottom. also edged with gray
