Woman Raises Rodents.

/. "A correspondent of Table Talk

makes a good living as a breeder OF
rats, dancing mice and guinea pigs.

spF0Iific, and while at first she gave
away the young, when she found
there was a good market for them

With an invalid mother and in poor
health herself, the necessity for earn

,eIded to announce herself a breeder
Of fancy mice. After while she was
asked so often to supply rats and
guinea pigs for medical laboratory
use that she had to engage a house
keeper to run her home while she

The average man is doubter, and

The Man of the Hour.

See the censor.
He censOrs all the time-morning,
moon and night When others are
taking their much needed rest he
keeps on censoring just the same.
War was becoming so we'll known
that there was grave danger Of its
getting to be unpopular. When we
have discovered all there is to know
about a thing we generally lose inter
est in it. The censor was therefore
called in to fan the mystery. He
loves to keep everybody guessing.
Every censor has probably once
been an editor. The main business
OF editors is to cut out everything in

actly the same as it has been for five
months with the long plated tunic
over a narrow underskirt; but the
arbiters of fashion have widened the
hem and taken the width from the
hips, and eliminated drapery and given
us a straight line from the nape Of
our neck to the turn of our heel,
broken only below the knees.
The dictum that calls for a very
short walking skirt is being widely
followed and it is a convenient and
comfortable fashion, but it can be over
done in a conspicuous way. A woman
with gray hair and large hips looks at
her worst in a skirt cut off at her shoe
tops, no matter whether her ankles
are we'll covered with smart shoes or
not. The thin, angular woman should
be careful about the length of her
skirt, and, in fact, any woman who has
her dignity to preserve should watch
carefully every eighth of an inch that
dressmaker is taking off the hem.
After the length of the skirt is de-
cided, pay attention to the length Of
long coat with it's circular peplum is
assuredly the most fashionable, there
are many types of short skirts that are
in style. There is a revival of the old
fashioned covert cloth coat with many
seams al the back, cut away in the
front, with a high turnover collar; it is
worn with a plaid skirt of brown and
yellow or a skirt of it's own fabric.
There is a Callot model made of this
ribbed cloth which is having a good
deal of success.
The best reason against giving a
high price for a coat suit this winter
is that a one-piece gown is the de-
sired garment for all indoor occasions.
Time was when the jacket and skirt
with different blouses served for all
the day hours, no matter whether or
not the occasion was social, but this
winter the elaborate one-piece frock Is
decidedly the choice for any indoor
occasion that begins after twelve
o'clock
The skirts of these frocks are not
so short as the skirts for street wear.
Some of the smartest houses advocate
skirt that just clears the floor while
of course there are others that cut the
skirts off at the shoe tops. We seem
to have mania for short skirts which
has probably been brought about
through dancing. but noticed with in
terest that certain famous houses are
cutting the other kind of skirts
One can choose any color for a one
piece frock today. Dressing for the
house is not governed by any of the
rules that once controlled it. Frocks
are worn that sometime seem more
suitable for a dinner party than a
luncheon, or for a dance than an after
noon game of bridge, but the tendency
this winter to bring the material high
on the shoulders somewhat offsets the
other fashion.
Black is again a favorite color, but
deep blue has invaded even this field.
Beet root red is a fashionable tone and
SAKE blue touched with black or with
silver is worn. All the brilliant shades
of red came in with the war, and there
is no dimunition of their popularity.
The illustration shows a Worth
model for evening, OF black velvet,
with a girdle of rhinestones and a
black jet ornment on the skirt.

ROMANTIC OLD ARRAS
no MORE PICTURESQUE CITY TO
BE SEEN IN FRANCE.
Has Seen Much of French History In
the Making and Is Today a Com
merciaI Point of I'M
portance.

The picturesque old city of Arras,
where the Franco-British forces con-
ecentrated in huge numbers to check
the German advance, and where the
British fell back after the Germans
occupied Cambria, must have walked
up and rubbed it's antique eyes to see
lis quondam foes within its gates as
allies of its beloved country. For
ATras was within the triangle over
which the English fought in the
fifteenth century.
The base of the triangle was the
sea line from Harfeur to Calais, and
the apex was Paris. This is also the
ground over which some of the
Bercest battles of the present war
ragged.
For thirty years the English battled
until nothing was left of their French
territory except the Norman isles
and the newer conquest of Calais and
It's small territory At last, in 1435,

This old town, which dates back to
The time of Caesar, is 100 miles north
east from Paris, and has a population
al something like $4,000 people.
while it is most painful to think Of
zh1s once great art center as an in
s1ustrial place, one must, when he re-
'caus the oil works, dye works, brew

eth century commercial town.
However, its glory cannot depart
while the beautiful townhouse, dating
from the sixteenth century, the cita-
del partly gone, erected by Vauban,
marshal OF France and the greatest
military engineer OF the seventeenth
century, and the tall, imposing houses
In the Flemish style overlooking the
Tine squares, with the upper stories
projecting over the footway, remain.
These topheavy looking houses
were built in a time when mans
house was indeed his castle, and the
projecting upper stories were used to
wage warfare on the enemy in the
narrow street below. The modern
armies with their wonderful and nu-
-merous equipment of war must often

marrow streets in the old towns OF
France and Germany. They are bet
ter suited to the time when men
fought hand to hand, and warfare was
a matter of individual bravery.
