Ifact, this type of woman may if she
 pIeases, be a law unto herself and
 adopt the picturesque with the great Lest chance of success She it is who
 will look we'll in large, droopy hats
 4aden with p1dmes, whether such lshapes are in fashion or not The band E on the hat worn under the chin at present will Suit her; alsos the wider, fhufffer sieperdess ties.
 l So, she may, if she wishes, exagger- late the strap with most charming re- l Odd sleeves in picture or historical
 models will suit the style of the tal1 thin woman, and nok look a bit rodd. when she wears them. They will seem
 to be a part of herself. It goes with; Tout saying that sleeves fitting thin I arms smoothly and closely are not q. success. When tight-fltting sleeves are fin fashion let the lining fit, but cover it
 with sllirrings or tdckings in nnot1S- thin girls very own: SC when they are
 worn she should adopt the style ex-
 clusively Loose, picturesque styles l in waists vVil be extremely becoming.
 The blousess worn at present are ad-
 nnirably suited to the thin girl Noth-
 ling could be kinder than the short
 tunic, slightly wired, because it so decidedly cuts the height. The ac- Kcordior-pIeated b1ousesg also the bands i0fi dark fur trimming the edges of Il I0TapGT1eS, are 6Qually C0aT1LaDlo.sa so fit would seem the tall woman will have
 no one but herself to blame if she ldoes not find herself both fashionabiy land bec0mingIy gowned. The " neck lso much in vogue is not as becoming 1 to this type as sorne other fashions, but it can be made so by wearing broad collars as an outline, also f1lmy
 fichus, berthas. and general hufnness about the shoulders. Wide ruffles of. met or. lace will do wonders toward 1dissliisfng fiat chests and waists too l long, and all these accessories are very Ipnpular just now. Clever fingers can 1 arrange collar or bit of drapery in a way that the unbecomingness of the I " will be entirely overcome When ] the shoulders are ahuourtd and the chest. fiat the drapery should be ar ranged to fall below the shoulders in | the back This will disguise this defect l When yokes in dresses are worn they should be cut round or square, and pointed effects should be avoided.
 The fulIuess about the hips will
 houette for example aud so will the wide girdle and it's variations of loops, mows, and duttering ends.
 Broad ribbon sashes are excellent as a means of breaking the line from shoulders to feet when taken first across the hips and loosely tied.
 Waists and skirts in different coIors may be indalged in, while smart, wide belt combining the two will be much more modish and becoming than the skirt cut to wear without 8 belt. This style is all very well for the stout l figure, but will be too straight and plain Do suit a thin woman. It is aA- tention to all these small details that marks the wendressed woman, and not i always a question Of money by any means A becoming1y- dressed woman 1 is a well-dressed woman, as every one knows, and there Is no reason why she may not be fashionably dressed, l too.

managers when looking for a posi- a wonderful actress, is the somewhat astounding declaration of David Be lasco.
 For purposes of the stage" he states, T don't care at all for the. beautiful girl She has been told that to retain her beauty she must not give way to temperamentaI outbursts.
 She has a narrowing fear that lines, will come in her face, and to keep them off as long as possible she re- frains from expressing her feelings, feeling at alB so that her face has no expression and is nothing but beautiful mask
 f Such a woman is beautiful in re- pose, but there is variation in her face and her beauty becomes weari- some.''

danseuse, who has returned TO the

"Oh. that I had ever lived to see

Mother Schmidt. little less sim
