Here's the latest word from Paris
that center Of all that is chic and saucy
all the fair ladies' Of the mode are
kissing farewell to the straight front
corsets into which, with many wriggles
and exclamations they have forced
themselves for the last year or more
Farewell Is the cry and every new
gown is being made to fit figures that
are no longer as straight and fiat as
lead pencils.
At Auteuil, where the Danes de
Grace promenade to the ecstasy of
fashion experts, the new models, Just
shown, present a figure that has a
graceful curve. The waist, which is
high in front, also slopes down below
the present position Of the waist in
the back
TO insure this graceful curved effect
Of the figure being visible and yet to
retain the supple, strenuous lines Of
the corsetieres no end of trouble, the
present straight front corsets being
made chiefly of whalebone. To com
bine both effects, all the new corsets
will be made OF elastic tissue, which is
more pliable and can be fitted to the
figure better
The present rage for straight fronts
has extended around the world, and 1t
will be some time before the new
modes, which are also declared to be
more comfortable, will be seen beyond
the watering places
Meanwhile all ladies of fashion are
heavng a sigh Of relief and murmur-
ing, Farewell, straight fronts"

Pretty soon the gray and white

two, began to come down, cautious

the maltese had taken refuge.
Mother Dear motioned to the chill
dren to be silent. They watched the
scene with amusement. Laddie was
busily barking at Tabby, but he
turned his head just as the kitten
reached the ground. In a flash he
was after her, his white, plumy tail
waving and his breath coming
quickly. The kitten reached an
other tree, turned about, sat up,
made q pass at Laddie with his
tiny right paw, thought better of
it and fled in terror to safety. And
when he reached safe branch he
turned and spat as defiantly as If
he had never been afraid, while the

laughed long and heartily.

ran up the steps and poked his cold

Laddie wagged his tail socially
and went down to transfer his at

arm around his shaggy neck, which
pleased him nightly. All dogs love

Came November day SO warm
that Dorothy and Davie were quite
convinced that summer had re-
turned. They ran out on the front
porch and sat in the sun without a
sign of a coat or hat and merely
laughed at the assertions of Norah,
the cook, to the effect that the fol-
lowing day, or at least the day after
that, would find them fiat on their
backs with p'umonia'
The grass seemed to take on a.
greener tinge, beneath the suns
warming rays. Even the stalks of
last summers perennials tried to
lift their heads and bloom again.

have gone South long, long before,

What really nettled Professor Poly

caused by his wife's eternal vigilance
| which, In the case of so truly model

but that she continually assured him
that nothing was more foreign to her
mind or nature than jealousy.
This was the one subject to which
all other subjects tended; and even
though astronomy, geology, statistics
| or any other theme equally as remote
| from lovemaking might be under dis
cussion, 10 never took more than five
minutes for the "green-eyed monster
to crop out and glover at the pro-
| lessor.
One night, when 1t was storTninH
out doors, an unusually long, lurid
| flash of lightning frightened Mrs,
Polydore. This brought the topic of
electricity to the fore and, unfortu-
nately for the Professor, he advanced
the theory that electricity was form
of polarity.
"Polarity?" asked Mrs. Polydore
