Cunning In Art.

We have heard so much about graft
and dishonesty and the shame of our
cities" that many of us firmly believe
that ours is the wickedest of the ma.
tons of the earth. To destroy a myth
is thankless task, for people believe
what they want to believe and are apt
to resent any attempt to rob them of
their pleasure and satisfaction in SO
doing. Nevertheless some of us are
glad to learn from time to time that
graft and cunning are not unknown
in the older countries nor in the older
of the noble families

relax, apathetic, comfortable.
And then my reverie ended abrupt

me to my feet. There she
stood, lovely in a fresh morning gown
deeply belted with turquoise-shells,
her ruddy hair glistening, coiled low
on a neck of snow.
For the first time she showed en-

touching my hand, speaking with a

colder as she hesitated.

ABOUT THE HOLBEIN FIGURE
Women Must Accept the Unrestricted
Natural Lines of the Body in
New Clothes.

In connection with the discussion
of the so-called corsetless figure. it
may be noted that the lines OF the
natural, supple figure are more ncc;Se-
able in the evening gowns than in the
street toys. Women may refuse to
adopt the Holbein figure for the
street, but they will be forced to
accept it in effect in the majority of
the new evening frocks. The coutu-
riers have been advising the homeless
tricot corsets for the evening for sew
eral seasons, but this winter they
have taken more advanced step
they have forced them on their GUS
toners by designing frocks that give
the effect of 4 lightly corseted figure.
There are Eiany ways of leading q
woman in the way one would wish
her to go, and few are unknown to
the willy French couturier.
