Advanced Boxing

Has the art of boxing advanced? Has
the science and development of the game
been carried along? Undoubtedly, most
people will say. But q years ago John
Lawrence Sullivan fell before the youth
and skill of James j. Corbett.
Can any one say that either Willard or
Moran has more of the lion-hcarted cour-
age, more of the ruggedness, or more Of
the wallop than old John l.. had?
Or that either Willard or Moran had
greater skill and science than Corbett put
upon display over two decades ago?
If so, we'll be much obliged to receive
proof.

Korean Etinuette

A recent Washington dispatch de-
clares that a good many changes have
taken place in Korean manners and
etiquette since the Japanese came into
control. A girls high school was es-
tablished at Seoul in 1908. and the
girls who were admitted, fifty-four in
number. were the daughters of noble
men. The teachers were women at
first, but as the needs of the school
grew and became more exacting, a few
male instructors were appointed. The
community in general, and the pupils
parents in particular, were enraged,
alleging that it was an objectionable
offense for men TO enter the gate of
girls school, even if they were teach
ers.
The school authorities, therefore,
made a concession that the male
teachers should veil their faces when
they passed the gate of the school. Ii
is an absurd evasion, but the students
parents were satisfied with IT, Some
OF the girls are attended by two or
three chaperons. or maids, even when
at their studies-Youth's Companion.

animal seemed to understand him and
limped faithfully behind him. Hope
assisted the dog up the steps as he
reached his boarding house, led him
to his room, bathed the injured limb,
applied a soothing lotion, and Hope
made a friend for life
At the end of three or four days
the dog was well. Some friends of
Hope who saw the animal joked and
scoffed at the homely pet Hope had
adopted. Certainly the creature was
unprepossessing as to appearance.
One friend, quite a dog fancier, de-
clared the animal was a puzzle to
him.
"A mixed breed. or mongrel. yet
with some fine points," he observed.
He has the ferocity of a bulldog
with the fine scent OF a real hunter.

shall keep him."
Certainly the animal loved him. One
evening he followed him to a house
that held the dearest girl in the world
for Arthur Hope - Nellie Ashton.
Hull was there. a rival, as Hope and
his escort assembled the porch. He
recognized the animal, but said moth
ing. AS to the dog, it gave one
growl. At word from Hope il sub
sided. He remembered He retired
to sullen silence at one end of the
porch. but for two hours never took
his vengeful. menacing eyes away
from Hull. In fact, the latter was
quite uneasy all the evening through.
Nellie's father was a college profess
sor, just retired from his former du-
ties. He had never liked Hull, nor
did Nellie. but both treated this WISH
tor courteously. Hope knew consid-
cradle of the reckless spendthrift
Hull, but he never discussed his faults
publicly.
AS time went on, the dog became a
prime favorite with Nellie For one
thing, he happened to be on hand
when she was alone in the house and
an insolent and thieving tramp threat
eaed 10 carry away some umbrellas
and a coat from the hat rack.
"Trusty,"
That is what Nellie had dubbed the
animal, and an utterance OF that name
brought the dog TO the rescue. The
tramp fed, with Trusty at his heels,
sadly the worse for his venturesome
experience.
Hull began TO come less frequently
to the Ashton home. In fact, mat

GOOD WASTE-PAPER BASKET
May Be Made of White Wood Wicker
work and Lined With Sateen or
Other Material.

A useful basket is illustrated in the
accompanying sketch. Plain white
wood wickerwork paper baskets of the
nature shown in the small sketch on
the right of the illustration may be
purchased very inexpensively, and
they lend themselves for decoration in
many different and pretty ways.
The basket shown is lined with
sateen, and this can be easily done by
cutting out pieces Of material of the
required size and shape and fastening
them in place with stitches run in and
out the wickerwork
At the top and again at the base
the basket is ornamented with broad
bands OF floral ribbon, and the space
between the bands is covered with soft
darker colored silk arranged in a num-
Der Of fine plaits. The handles, upper
edge and lower rim Of the basket are
painted with enamel of a color to
match the silk.
1t will not take very large quantity
of material to cover a basket in this
dainty manner, and a basket so pre-
pared will look very attractive. 1t is
good idea to select SILK for the CEN
ter to match the color that predomi-
mates in the bands of floral ribbon. If

The Dumb
Detective

"Out Of the way, you brute!'
With the word. Perry Hull gave
the stray dog lying on the mat out
side of the door of his place of resi-
dence kick that sent the animal roll
ing to the bottom of the steps.
The dog was mongrel, i'll fed,
seemingly homeless and friendless. 1t

it's feet the animal bristled. It's eyes
eyes were fixed upon it's prosecutor
with look that said plainly:
Il won't forget you!"
Then the animal slowly proceeded
down the street. holding up one foot,
which the kick had temporarily
crippled.
Hull disappeared within the house,
waving his hand airily to the compan-
ion from whom he had just parted,
Arthur Hope. The latter never re-
turned the salutation. He had OBJ
served the cruel treatment of the dog.
He hurried his steps and came up
with the disabled animal.
You poor creature!" he said pity
ingly, and he stopped and patted the
head of the animal, who looked con-
fidingly into his face and wagged his
stump of a tail and whimpered a
trifle.

NEW DESIGN FOR THE CORSET
They Are Now Being Made to Follow
the Figure and Pinch the
Waist.

The cut OF the coat of the period de-
cides the shape of the corset. This
is rule which has held for a very
long time and is just now proving
itself anew. The coats of the late year
began TO have pronounced back line.
There was a definite shoulder, an ac-
centuated waist line and a positive hip
extension. By the middle OF January
the first of the new corsets was on
sale and it differed essentially from
the old straight-front model, which,
with slight modification, has obtained
these last five years.
The new model differs most radical
~ under the arms. The line there is
curved, following exactly the lines
of the figure and allowance is made
for a pull-in of at least two inches at
the waist line.
The front. too. is no longer straight,
but is allowed to curve cut slightly
above the waist, and the hips are not
only left normal, but in many in
stances allowance is made for slight
padding. The bust is high
AS TO length, there is a good deal of
allowance made for individual taste.
That the very long-skirted corsets are
no more the mode is obvious. for IL is
no longer necessary to have the
smoothly defined hip line, but, on the
other hand. the very short girdle stay
will not come again, at least for the
present. because women have found
that where lacing is required, health
and comfort require a long. steady
pull, rather than short, violent one.

His Unlucky DAYS.

Seated In a row on the porch of an
old-country inn, with their chairs
tipped back, some old cronies were go
ing on about unlucky days. After all
had given what they considered their
unlucky days, quiet old chap at one
end spoke up:
"Aa1l tell ye ma unlucky days. Aa's
fund DOT In ma time that it's urlucky
to be struck wi leetening on a Mon
day; or te be catched wiz a circular
saw on Tuesday; or tie tumble over
board on a Wednesday; or to be run
over by motor car on a Thursday;
or lose ten-pun note on Friday; or
be bitten by a mad dog on Saturday,
and hev nowt for dinner on the Sum-
day."

Brown Boots.

The very latest idea is the introduc-
tion OF red brown leather boots with
all sorts and conditions of frocks.
These boots are very high and are. of
course, laced. The heels are made of

chosen such boots may be worn with
success in conjunction with white.

smart bootmakers do not now intro

Separate Skirts.

Separate skirts have fresh interest
now that the summer blouse season
is drawing nearer. A good model for
morning wear with a tailored blouse
is OF dark blue mohair and worsted
fabric, light and comfortable both for
spring and summer. Straight panels
fall from the waist line at front and
back and the side sections are plated
and attached to deep, well-itting hip
yokes. This skirt is also seen in
striped serge, the plated sections
showing the stripes only when the
well-pressed plaits fly apart.

Cuban Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber. the new Cuban substt
tute for tute, is product Of malva
blanca tUrena lobata). a large and
troublesome weed. The report of Unit
ed States Special Agent Garrard Har-
ris shows that In the experiments Of
the last two years. the extraction has
been brought to successful CONNER
cinl stage; and the fiber. mixed with
jute. has been used for the soles OF
cloth shoes. about twenty tons having

FOR SMALL FOLKS

Every mother knows that when she
starts on her spring sewing the small
boy needs as many stitches as the lit.
tie girl. and. where their ages run be-
tween two and four or five years, the
little frocks and boomers are cut
from the same pattern. The same is
true of rompers. SO that this design
will do for all your small children un-
der five years of age, and for your
boy, up to seven, unless you have put
him in Oliver Twist suits before then,
or those quaint long trousers and very
short coats that one sees in old pic
lures and on little English boys. Lit
tie American boys are somewhat indie
pendent as to what they will wear, and
all OF them do not like the old-fash-
toned suits.
This suit may be made of any light
weight of wool, and serge will be found
eminently practical for it. A dark blue
serge, trimmed with white braid, or
with red, will look charming on either
a girl or boy, and there are braid ties,
with tassels. such as are shown in the
picture, that are used a good deal
now.
All the cotton materials Of which
children's play clothes and rompers
can be made are suitable for this pat
tern, but it is not intended for thin
fabrics OF any sort.
In making suits of wash fabrics, the
most ser1iceable will be found in dark
blue and brown. A good many suits
