PLUMP WOMEN. DO YOU KNOW THIS?

Do you know that colors have 3. great deal to do with making yod look either large or small? Some women are said to have fiat and thin'' days. Nor is that imagination. The real reason for those thinner and latter days may have been the real reason of color.
 The over-plump woman should be- ware of pale grays of every imagina- bIe hue, of pale lawns, blues, pale pink, pale greens and pale y,ellows.
 These are the celors which the French call .sles colleurs- grandes," ," which is to say ''the, 1arge colors."
 Dark blue. dark saxe, navy blue, dark brown, plufn color, dark red and the deen shades of sapphire and gobelin blue are, as the artists term it, retiring colors." which tend to diminish the apparent bulk. Above all, these co1ors help to make the un- duly tight skirt less noticeable, which by ths way, Plump Lady, you should avoid altogether.

 Human Healthy
 In my previous article on the sub ject of vivisection, I briefly outlined it's significance. Now the writer will present a few statements from eminent physicians and scholars, who are opposed to this inhuman and un- scientific cruelty to our quadriped four-legged) brothers, in the name of health, science, love and mercy.
 Again the writer desires to say that everyone who has studied the subject (and it is one of the most important today concerning human healthy, has right to their opinion. l will respect them all the more for having an opinion and openly ex- pressing it. I would fight for them to have the right to express their opinion (even if it differs or contra diets mine) as would to express mine. We will never make real progress until we grant every human being the right to be right and the right to be wrong. Let us all seek for truth and remember, life is too short and it is foolish at best, to be angry with anyone Just because they happen to differ. EIbert Hubbard q well said:
 If you do not want to be criticis- ed, say nothing, do nothing, be noth- ing.'

Clever Way to
 Announce Friends
 Engagement

There are ways and ways, of course. But there are engagements and engagements, too, and so there is always room for one more way!
 How about giving a tea for your friend who is about to announce her engagement? While your guests are lingering over their cups. produce a small jewellers box sealed and wrap ped with red paper. Explain that the package has been sent to you with the word that if no instructions came by o'clock that afternoon you would be at liberty to open ana see what the package contained.
 Say that the hour has passed, and you hav<S received no word and so you are going to open it. Upon your opening the box, you may add that if by chance it should happen to be- long to any of the guests. you hope they will not be slow 70 clam It.
 The package, of course, will reveal an engag cement ring.
 After all the girls. except the en- gagged girl, disclaims it, hand it to the blushing owner After that no further entertainment scheme will be necessary.

"I have never practiced vivisection, but have witnessed it to my horror and disgust. am anxious to help put stop to the useless, horrible damnable practice of animal torture and cruelty practiced in medical col leges and large hospitals.

 But don't overlook it's very smart vesting, which happsn to be not strictly vest in this case, but rath- CT completely smart front treatment that one straps ones self into instead of buttoning ones self into.

A perfectly simple tube, but with perfectly complex embroidery!
 The bold plaid and flower motif in gray worsted is rather surprising upon a brown background. However, 'tis only a momentary surprise which soon turns into appreciation Of the clever daring of the designer who dared to boldly combine these two in such striking fashion.
 Nor is the design worked out in ordinary embroidery. It is the very unusual sort which has in place Of flat even stitches sizeable French knots.s They are however, so closely arranged that tense1nble'' they appear to be perfectly orthodox stitches

Here's a dinner gown guaranteed to meet with the immediate approval of the matron who would be ever smart but never undignifed in her dressing. And when she reads the color scheme suggested for 1t, then is sure to want one just like it.''
 Now, picture the model developed in snuff-coIored velvet, that is, that part of it which looks velvet. Then the lacy part is suggested for devel- .opment in toast-t tinted lace threaded with gold threads which almost makes it imperative that the tasseled cord and great medallion upon the bodice be expressed in antique gold. {
 Just a word about that bodice. Un- derneath it ought to be brown satin, the same shade as the tunic. Then the lace part, which may first seem rather complex, is really nothing more nor less than an exaggerated bertha all the way round. And the rest is self -explanatnrv.

 Some years ago, while visiting one of the largest laboratories in New York city where vivisection in carried on, I saw enough to make any hu- man being shrink and hide his face in shame. Dogs were strapped to stretchers and opened up without any anesthetic whatsoever. The young doctors stood around and jeered at the agony and useless struggling of the dogs * '. I do think if honest physicians and the public in general knew how ruthlessly animals are tor tured in these institutions, they would rise in holy horror and crush out camouflaged Prussianisn'' in the guise of vivisection."

No wardrobe is exactly complete without at least one suit. But there is many an occasion where the usual type of two-piece suit is not a1toge- ther satisfying. And that is where che suit in three, so to speak, comes in for the honors. Such costume is the one pictured today.
 Many a costume of the type that calls itself '.three-piece is not ex- actIy that, being a matter of a one piece frock. usually of the chemise type, with a short coat to match You may build this one according to that plan if you please. Otherwise
