THE MOULDED BROCK

According te the fashion experts of tf Paris, the moulded frock" is among inc smartest of the new fashions. But by ..moulded'' we do not mean revival of the "hour-glass hgure- that unnatural over-emphasized fash ion which made women look as though they had been poured into their clothes and then left to hard en. Madame Magnier, the famous famous corset-maker of Paris announces that corsets will be "only slightly curved, following the natural lines" And from that we gather that the frocks will tend in the same direc- ton.
 And several of these moulded frocks'' have already been seen at the opera, worn by the smartest so- ciety leaders of Paris The corsage is straight across the top, supported by a strand of brilliants or perhaps a narrow silver ribbon, and the us- sue itself is carried down over one hip in an unbroken line and across the front, with fold or two of dra- pery at the left side. The whole ef- feet is exquisitely graceful and has the priceless charm of simplicity.

emancipation of the sex," he contir- ues. "Yet, when we want to describe an ideal woman, we immediately give her all the most o1d-fashioned v1r- tues.''
 America, Scott contends. proved this most beautifully when the nanon was selecting it's Presidential candi- dates. The candidate bore the strict est scrutiny, and so also did his wife the possible future first lady or the land.
 .Lauditory articles on the candi-. date had to be accompanied by laudi- tory articles on his wife, but 1t was remarkable and amusing to note the type of women she was always made out to be.
 Like German HauSfrau.
 '"The model taken must have been that of the German ha,usfrau of one hundred years ago who sat below her husband at table, waited on him like bondswoman and whose life and desires were completely bounded and satisfied by the homeiy domestic duties. c .sThis is the ideal of woman the astute students of public taste who | control the electoral machines in America, the elysium of the enamel | pated woman, believes to be held by 1 the great majority of the electors" l But let us be of good cheer | 'Over here,'' MT. Scott adds, ethe same conditions exist | "In their heart of hearts both men and women still regard the new l woman as a freak"

HOW TO MAKE SACHETS

Large sachetS can be made for your bureau drawers out of odd pieces and in a few sapre minutes. If you wish to make one large one you will need fifty yards of mercerized knitting cotton. The one I saw was made of old rose and was very pretty.
 Use a number three knitting nee d1e and knit plain for twelve inches and then bind off. Fold the knit ted slip in half. Cover a piece of cotton batting with a piece of thin silk or crepe the same shade as the knitting cotton and seam together after filling with your favorite sach- ct.
 Slip this pad into the knitted pad. Tie yard of soft ribbon six inches wide in a big bow Tie half a yard of two-inch satin ribbon in a loose knot in the center and slip the large ribbon bow through this loose knot and sew to the center of the sachet-

P4ARISIAN GIRLS TURNING BLONDE

(By International News Service)
 Paris, Oct 12.-The brunette Parisienne no longer needs to dye her hair, for, according to Professors MacAuliffe and Marie, of the French mate will look after it if madame will have little patience. These pro- fessors have discovered that the air of Paris rapidly turns dark hair to a pretty blonde and dark eyes soon change to a light gray.
 They have also found that the same climate is beneficial to the brain. Inhabitants of Paris have larger brains, they declare.
 The effect produced by the climate on bones is to make arms and legs shorter while the chest rather tends to become deeper.
 Thus the professors state there exists a purely Partisan race of French men and women.

 London, Oct 1s.-'ts science real ly a virtue in women ?''
 T. H. Scott, writing in the Daily Mirror, asks the question of the whole wide, wide world.
 And he fears not the danger in these days Of ''feminism" of answer ing his own question in an emphatic and decided affirmative.
 He reaches across the water to the United States of America to ciinch his affirmative reply.
 To-day" he writes, silence is not expected of a woman. Emancipation has brought her the right to raise her voice in any issue.
 Our ''New Woman"
 'tIt is the woman who talks. who strives, who leads the way into new fields that we set up as the ideal today.
 ''The woman orator, the authoress, the politician, the lawyer -. all talk ing accomplishments - and the wo- man of aggression are the models fo1 coming womanhood in the place o1 the o1d-fashioned tobedient' wife, who chattered, but did not talk, who knew when matters of serious import were preached that it was time fol her humbly to hold her peace.' Then, deft1y, he turns his argumen- right about face. we laud the modern woman witf | our mouths, and rejoice over th'
