The girl who carries her head grace
fully is always called stylish. But to
carry your head gracefully means
much more than moving that part OF
your body that is above your throat.
To carry your head gracefully you
must stand correctly. Have you no
ticed that, since the Venus SLOUGH
has come in, no girl carries her head
gracefully?
1t is usually droopy, with the chin
thrust forward. IL you will stand on

straight In front OF you, you cannot
help carrying your head gracefully.
People who make a practice OF
reading character from the face take
great stock in the way the head is
carried. II It is droopy. with the chin
thrust slightly out. they say 1t means
that the person lacks initiative, but

FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
It Was Arranged by Husues capet,
King of France, In 987,

u was Arranged py fugues Capet
King Of France, In 987.
The fashion Of silver weddings date
back to the reign Of Hughes Capet
king Of France, in 9S7. Once as
Hughes was arranging his uncle's af
fairs he found on one of the estates
a servant who had grown gray in the
service of his relative. On the farm
with this old man was also a serving
woman, who was as old as he and
also unmarried, who had been the most
devoted and hardworking of the wom-
ell servants Of the kings uncle. When
the king heard these praises of the two
he ordered them to be brought before
him and said to the woman:
Your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than
man, and therefore l will give you a
reward. At your age l know of none
better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with you five
and twenty years is willing to marry
you then the husband is ready"
Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly, 'how is 1t possi-
BILE that we should marry. having al
ready silver hairs?'
'Then 1t shall be silver wedding"
answered the king. land here l give
you wedding ring" drawing a cost
ly ring from his finger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France and raised such enthusiasm
that 1t became a fashion after twenty
five years Of married life to celebrate
a silver wedding.

A KNOCKOUT BLOW.
Curious Experience of a Boxer Who

Curious Experience of a Boxer VIII,

Many and varied stories are told o.

but leave him power to continue the
contest. He boxes in a mechanical
way and Is oblivious of all things tax

pened In Apollo hall. Chicago, more
than fifteen years ago. Andy DAILY, a
Boston lightweight, was boxing Joe
Galligan, an Italian boxer Of Chicago,
the decision to be given at the end of
six rounds. DAILY was a clever boxer
with good punch, while Galligan, al
though he could not boast Of the clev.
erness of his opponent, had danger
GUS right hand blow. For four rounds
DAILY had the better of the contest.
Early in the fifth session the Boston
lightweight became careless, and Gal
ligan, taking advantage of an opening,
sent over his right to Days jaw. The
clever boxer took the count of eight,
sat up, rubbed his eyes, regained his
feet and finished the round. He con-
tinued the sixth session, displaying no
LII effects as a result Of the blow. Gal
ligan made strong finish, but DAILY
gave blow for blow and won draw.
