A well-known fiction writer said
that a great many girls who wear the

that they utterly fail to achieve the
object of such dresses.
Now that padding Is not fashion
able, it is only a very well-made wom-

he said. Il should not say that wom-

is nothing scandalous about the human

Few sights are more unpleasing to
the average mans eye than the outline
of the figure of a short and stumpy or

fate which have darkened Queen Alex

her almost beyond recognition and in
many ways influenced her daily life.
Herself a musician Of no mean talent
and powers of expression, deafness was
about the worst calamity which might
strike her. for although she still &C.

of great ARTISTS as she used to, and

Wagner's gigantic operatic masterpiece,

Like her late brother, the King Of
Greece, Queen Alexandria has always

Discussing the questions of scanty

The affectation of mans attire. the

the open pneumonia" blouse, and the
loud manners, which are the natural
accompaniment of tIese fads, make
one sigh for the olden styles. which
gave better promise for husband, home,

"A man may flirt with such girls. but
when the time comes for him to take

age il will be girl of a quiefer, more

Here is an opiniou-and a remedy
from Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. the ia
nous dramatist:
Every fashion in clothes, whether
in the direction of scantiness or full
ness. is, in its turn, abused by certain
women.
1T remains for modest women to
take care that their less decent sisters
cannot point to them as examples Of
excess"
Maxim Gives Views.
Sir Hiram Maxim. although modestly
any claim to be an author

one thing in favor of the hobble skirt,

The inconvenient hobble skirt does
not trail in the mud. 1 have particu-
larly noticed the extent to which Eng

to be the vogue at present"
In striking contrast are the vigorous
opinions expressed by a prominent So

London, April 12.-The closing week
witnessed the opening of the London
season of 1919 and everybody who was
anybody hurrying back to the British
metropolis. Americans are already ar
irving in hundreds on their annual pill
grimage, and without doubt, unless some
unforeseen calamity occurs, the next
four months will make a dazzling record
in the history of London seasons.
Owing to the earliness of Easter, the
season is actually though unofficially
three weeks advanced, and when one
realizes the extra physical strain which
this entails upon those who by virtue Of
their position or ambition are compelled
to go through the season, it will be seen
that the lot of the society man or wom-
an, like Gilbert's famous policeman, lis
not happy one"
All the fashionable hotels have been
crowded during the week. In fact, in
some cases regular patrons had to be
turned away even this early, because
they had not reserved accommodations

Liberals Plans Upset.
The death of J. Pierpont Morgan is
Unfortunate for what may be called the
politico-social plans of the Liberal par
ty, as it has caused the temporary re-
tirement of the flnanclers niece, MRS.
Lewis Harcourt. Mrs. Harcourt has been
one of the mainstays of the Liberal
partys social side, and was always a
real hard worker, not only entertaining
at her house, but also appearing at the
quaint functions given by the Liberal
Social Council.
At these Mrs. Harcourt never fails to
appear, even if only for a little while,
when announced as hostess, in which re-
spect she sets a notably good example
to certain other ladies of the council
who are not above sending excuses at
the last minute when all the suburban
dates have been assembled, in order to-
gain the latest sartorial intelligence from
the gowns of the hostess.
Mrs. James Henry Smith arrived in
London this week from America. She
was met at Paddington by her daughter,
the Duchess de ViZieu, who brought the
duke with her. 1t was noticed that the
duke appeared on the best possible
terms with his mother-in-law, judging
from the warmth of his greetings toI
her. The three are spending much time
together, going on daily shopping ex-
petitions. They leave for Paris next
