THE LONG WASTED BODICE.
All Fashion Leaders Seem to Have 40
cepted II.

All Fashion Leaders Seem to Have 40
cepted II.
The most startling fashion innova-
ton is the quick and emphatic length
ening of the line from the neck to the
hips. Very few designers hold to the
short Nine now, and even those who
would not relinquish 1t under the on
slaught made by the Russian and Per-
sian fashions are giving in to this new
arrangement.
The threatened close fitting of the fig
ure has not materialized. These long
WASTED bodices drop in a straight line
from the neck to the tunic or sash and
make the figure look exceedingly young
by this adjustment. 1t evidently was
the only way to get around the large
waist measurements of the woman of
the hour.
The sash placed as it Is today atsthe
end Of this straignr basque or pinafore,
contributes to this youthful appearance,
but woe to the woman who adopts 1t
when her figure cannot afford It. She
should be guided into the safer method
-of a binding material or a silk cord.
1t is probable this dominating style
will alter the waist line of all gar
ments. Some arrangement will be
made ON evening gowns to lengthen
the line without taking up the pinafore,
which is hardly a suitable style for a
dinner party. II a woman owns an
evening gown that she wishes to re
arrange In the new fashion the sim
plest method by which to obtain the
desired result is to add a deep girdle OF
silk or satin.
AS brocade is again coming into fash
ion. she could employ this. 1t must be
carelessly placed, not with precision.
and more material put below than
above the waist. No trimming Is neces-
sary-just the plain silk artistically
wrapped about the figure.

NAUGHTY DUsKY ROYALTY.
When This King Waved His Toes the
lnsulted Guest Fled.

hE1oht00 6o0ot = tCas
There was much ceremony observed
at the African kings court, says John
Fl. Weeks In his book, Among the
Primitive Bakongo." No n approach
es him without first seeking his per
-~-fissioa, and no one Is allowed to sit On
a chair In his presence except his sons
and nephews.
Ordinary men approaching the king
had to kneel three times-once just In
side the last entrance to the kings In
closure, then near the door of the "pal-
ace'' and lastly Immediately in front Of
his majesty. And the last time they
knelt they put the palms Of their hands
together, rubbed their little fingers in
the dirt and then transferred the dirt
from their little fingers to their fore
heads or temples and clapped their
hands. This ceremony they repeated
three times at the last kneeling place,
and the king answered by putting the
palms OF his hands across each other,
with the fingers OF the right hand well
above the thumb and index finger of
the left hand, and waving them. If
the king did not answer thus or If he
thrust out his foot and waved his toes.
which was an insult. the sooner the
man retreated the better for him.
If a mar omitted to send or take the
king a share of his trading products he
would not be f%avorably received and
might expect to see his majesty's toes
wave instead Of his fingers. Well to
do chiefs who failed to send him occa-
sional presents were also coldly re-
ceived, and the waving toes reminded
them OF their delinquencies. No writ
ten account was kept, but the king,
like all natives. had a remarkable
memory for what was owing him and
never forgot when a debt was to be
paid or a present was due Chiefs and
noblemen had to render homage to the
king the same as ordinary men, but
not every time they went into his pres
ence.-Washington Post.

club was started nj year ago with a
membership Of IA and now has grown
to III, with prospects Of reaching the

for a long time. Congressional Candi-
date Isaac Bacharach and candidate
for County Clerk, Chas. Bohm, have

THE POPULAR GIRL.

The popular girl is not ag-
gressive and does not wish to
contradict and argue. She does
not cause pain by a foolish or
unguarded use of her tongue.
If you invite her anywhere she
always pays you the compliment
of looking her best and being at
her best.
She makes the world a pleas
ant place for other people to
dwell in by being pleasant her
self.
She does not want to take the
front of the stage. Though If
she has to do so she manages to
take it prettiiy and without Civ
ing offense.
She has equally nice manners
for all and a touch Of Difference
for age and experience.
She is never bored; not because
she does not meet with gray
days. but because she has sun
shine in her heart.

largely of the darker tones, and these
dark shades will not encourage the
matching Of the glove with the color
of the suit or dress, says the Dry

Don't Worry About Lie Policies

Don't Worry About Lie Policies
Millions of Americans have locked
up their savings for long terms of years
in life insurance. The larger COM
panies whose policies are held here are
doing business In England, in France,
in Germany, In Austria, even in Rus
sia. With the prospect of tremendous
mortality as a result Of war in which
these countries are engaged, 1t is not re-
markable that many American policy
holders have wondered what the effect
might be on the life insurance COM
panies.
To all who have INDUCED In such
speculation of a disquieting character,
the statement of Darwin P. Kingsley,
president of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, will be reassuring. He
explains that risks in those countries
whose large ornaments indicated war
as a possibility ever present i'll the
minds OF their rulers, have been taken
on a premium basis, fully regardful of
the war contingency; and that the
policies isoued have been in carefully
guarded form. He looks for some grave
interference with the routine of life in
surance business on the other side of
the Atlantic, but he Is certain that
deaths by war will not present any
grave problem to the managers of our
great life companies.-Brooklyn Eagle.
