Slashed Pettfcoat.

We have had the tango" gown;
now has descended upon us the "tan-
go" petticoat. This latest addition to
the wardrobe of the fashionable wo-
man is made of but two pieces, with
seams in the side, which, needless to
say, are open to point just above the
knee The front and back breadths of
the petticoat are scalloped, sloping
gradually up to the joining of the
seams at the knee. The garment in
this instance is edged with plated
ruff1e of the silk of which the. skirt is
made, but lace of almost any kind
would be nearly as effective. To regu-
late the height of the skirt slashes on
each side of the openings there have
been sewn crocheted rings, through
which lacing of ribbon is passed.

the mayor He bought the dresses
and scenery, and won all their hearts
by his kindness, and they consequent
ly felt bound to make some return to
him, and therefore arranged that he
himself should take part in the play.
But there was one great drawback.
The mayor, though kindness itself,
was uneducated, and neglected the
poor little letter "h" in the most I'M

they cast him for the role of herald.
He was to wear most gorgeous cos

So much for the first seven ordi-
nances. A strictly domestic and prac-
teal element here makes it's appear
ance. The ideal man must leave to
woman the management of all family
expenditure, and he must never (per-
haps as natural corollary) enter the
kitchen. Then the requirements reach
a higher ethical plane, and certainly
become more difficult of performance.
He must never criticise woman's
couture or dress; he must not spend
time telling women his own personal
tastes; he must not concern himself
at all with feminine questions. Even
worse remains behind, By some mys-
FERROUS power he must not, after sew
eral years intimate acquaintance, be
come an object of disgust" From this
demand there is a descent to the com
paratively commonplace. He must
practice the virtue of compassion; he
must not indulge in frequent and long
rotations of sake; he must not be in
fatuated with his own person, and
finally he must not be too jealous.

The aviator stands
His clothes bear many a greasy stain.
Likewise his face and hands,
He hears the people cheering him.
Wherefore his chest expands.
He takes his place upon the seat,
And orders: Let her goi"
With each foot braced against a cleat
He leaves the earth below.
And for while the people watch
Him darting to and fro.
He proudly circles in the air
With growing confidence
And gets to cutting didoes there,
Thus showing lack of sense;
His engine bucks, and, 10. he lands
Upon picket fence.

And set him on his feet;

Should kneel each night and pray
