Ankles and Elbows.

In these days of short skirts it he

klcs. for others will certainly have an
eye TO them also. You can't get
away from the eyes.
If they're ankles to be proud to dis
play. you garh them in as good SILK as
YOU can afford and walk down the av-
cnue undismaycd. If, alas, they are
not all that YOU wish they were, you
have problem to solve.
Wearing long dresses doesn't do it,
for people are certain TO suspect your
motives. And Judging from observa-
ton that does mot seem to he prac-
ticc resorted to 10y owners OF perfect
ankles.
The kind Of hosiery worn may, how
ever, be district help or hindrancc.
If the ankles are large and wooden
looking don't wear conspicuous stock
ings. and dark ones are better than
light. How many piano legs" you SEE
clad lavishly in gray silk and rising
grandly from pair Of fancy gray
combined with-baCk pumps. In both
wool and silk, up-and-down striped
hose tends to give an appearance OF
SlenderncSs.
And that is the secret. The con-
stant wearing of low shoes, especially
pumps with no support is likely to
take away from the shapclness Of the
ankles. \ high shoe holds the tcndon*
and muscles in place without strain.
Physicians advocate this remedy for
bulky ankles.
This is particularly true in conn"c-
ton with sports. \ shoe that comes
up around the ankle is excellent fo"
tennis and golf, for it prevents tn"
stretching and looscnng Of tcndonS

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch:
Those wno sought to Illustrate 4

the timbers Of the 100000 Exchange

In the case reported from Wichita,
any student of the intelligence of
ants would have been able to predict
what would happen. The first ranks
of the invading army naturally stack
fast in the glue. Had the others
been as stupid as flies, for instance
they would have continued to entangle
| themselves, regardless Of the fate OF
their fellows.
But these were ants. They stopped,
they reconnoitercd, their. antennae
| quivering in debate. From these coun-
ellis sprang in some way plans for
great engineering feat. AS If acting
on orders, throngs Of ants rushed
away and returned each bearing a
grain of dirt in its mandibles. The
first laid their burdens upon the edge
of The flypaper, the next, with their
forefeet upon this rampant, arranged
other particles just beyond, and soon
there was wide and commodious

morass, over which the army passed

Tiny Engineers.

On the othe. hand, the tiny engi-
neers are equally clever in availing
themselves of any advantages which
fall in their way. A community OF
leaf-cutting ants was observed in the
porcess of moving from one nest to
the other, carrying their property up
on their heads. Between the old bur-
row and the new one was a steep
slope. Instead CT clambering down
this with their burdens, they cast
them down from the top Of the slope
whence they rolled to the bottom
There another relay Of laborers picked
them up and carried them to the new
burrows. 1T was amusing" says this
chroniclcr, ito watch the ants hurry
ing out with bundles of food, dropping
them over the slope and rushing back
Immediately for more"
Many other instances of the deX-
terity Of ants in the divisions OF Ia
Dor are known. Workers ascend a
tree and cut off the leaves with their
scissors like jaws; the leaves fa'l to
the ground where another crew sieZes
them and drags them off to the nest.
But one of the most arrcsting Incl
dents Of the sort comes from the town
of Botzen, in Germany.
A gentleman was in the habit of
sprinkling sugar on the sill OF his
window, which attracted throngs of
ants. One day he took 1t into his
head to put the sugar in vessel and
suspended it by a string so that it
hung about foot above the sill.
Several Of the ants were placed in the
vessel. so that they might have infor-
nation Of the supply suspended
above.
These soon discovered the new
route back to the. garden-they as
cended the string to the window
frame. climbed down the latter to the
sil and thus returned to the nest.
But after a morning or two the ants
were seen getting sugar at the old
place on the sill. while not a single
insect was climbing along the string.

Overcome Obstacles.

Observers of ants have long noted
their ingenuity in overcoming obsta-
cles placed in the path of their migra-
tions. One authority tells Of tree
which was infested by ants. Around
the trunk he spRcad band of cloth
saturated with tobacco water. Ants
descending the tree quickly solved the
difficulty by coming down to the
edge of the cloth and then letting
themselves drop past it to the ground.
But those trying to- climb the trunk
were for time baffled. At length they
were seen arriving, each with a pellet
of dirt in its mouth. This they con-
structed a road across the poisonous
barrier over which they streamed up
the tree.
A still more amazing case, illustrat-
ing the ruthless brutality which reigns
in the insect world, is related by an
observer in Dantzic. A maple tree in
garden swarmed with ants and other
insects. In order to check the mischief
the proprietor smeared the ground at
the foot of the tree with tar, making a
ring about a foot wide.
The first ants that tried to cross
stuck fast. But what did the next
do? They rushed back to the tree,
where each captured an insect smaller
than itself. Returning, they thrust
these helpless creatures mercilessly in
to the tar, row after row until they
had made q bridge of bodies over
which they could come and go without
danger.
