Chest Measurement.

What is your chest measurement?

measurements For you have two

other with the chest expanded. If the
expansion is under two inches, you
must do something about it.
Statistics say that the normal chest
measurement of the average college
girl is 2S.S and. expanded. ala inches
which is quite a bit more than two
inches difference. But our colleges
specialize in making girls healthy as
well as intelligent developing bodies
before they develop brains, in fact
which is a good thing.
Put tape measure around your
chest at the bust, this is different
from bust measure, as you know.

and deeply as possible, letting the
tape measure slide through the fingers

CHAPTER XA.
The Quarrel.

1t was a gay morning but short
one. for it cleared up around noon,
and Jessica had an engagement.
But they discovered many tastes in
common. and they read bits to each
other. And so eager were they that
one hardly finished before the other
began.
Mark introduced her to Neihardt
and she was ecstatic. She had never
heard of him. But then, Mark had
lived abroad so much that he did not
know Edna Millay. and Jessica was
iubilant as she read him:
I'VE were very tired. we were very
merry,
We had gone back and forth all night

for timber builds her a house of
foam,
And I'd rather be bride to lad gone
down than widow to one safe
home"
Another, by a more obscure writer
enchanted her, too:
Our marriage Is taking hands and
running
Into the sunrise-not being ruled
BY a kind house with disappearing
shutters"
She looked up after reading those
lines.
Isn't that lovely?"
He hesitated a moment and then
said deliberately: Aren't you going
to be ruled by a kind house with dis
approving shutters"
''Oh, but this is poetry" she said
quickly. mot life. Life couldn't be
like that. OF course it would be gor-

One really wonders whether some
women do not wear them-or, at
least. did not begin to wear them
for much the same reason that bald
men sometimes wear little silk skull
caps indoors. With the very close
cut shingle one cannot help but feel
draushts that circulate round the
theaters and restaurants. Through
long custom of wearing short hair
men can stand it apparently, unless
they are actually bald-but the woman
who for years was accustomed to
long hair and then for few years
to bobbed hair sometimes feels the
need of more protection at the back
of her head than is provided by the
sort of cloSe-cu head that hairdressers
now bestOW upon us.
These evening hats also are a
blessing to that apparently numerous
proportion of the feminine population
who are letting their hair grow. There
are always women of this sort even
in Paris, though the chances are that
after they have gone through the
annoyance of letting it grow they will
have it off again. But, while it is
hetwiXt and between. they find com
fort in these evening hats. Then
there are occasions when. no matter
what the length of ones hair may
be. II simply does not look right.
There is not time enough to get it
back into good shape agan--but there
is an evening toque or bonnet on a
closet shelf that viii cover all but
the tips of the earlocks. For this
reason these little evening hats have
been called the busy womans best
friend.
The evening caps or toques as we
now see them seem to be eminently
a Winter fashion. But already the
milliners are making evening caps
that are well suited to warmer
weather. There are little caps of
lightweight gold lace and some of
them have narrow brims

Hunting for New Home.

Whitefoot is quite used to hunting
for new home. He has had To do it
many times. You know you cannot
live long in one neighborhood without
the neighbors knowing something
about you, and neighbors will talk

way, that is what Whitefoot says. ST

had been fortunate enough not to be
at home when Shadow called and
though he had managed to escape
without leaving trail that Shadow
could follow. he still felt far from

self. Shadow may not be there
now. He may not visit that home of
mine again for long time. but sooner

is as sure as it is that my feet are
white. So the thing for me to do is
to forget that l ever lived there. And
it was such a lovely home. oh, dear
What a tough old world this is, any
way. Wherever am / going to find
another home as good as that one
was?"
All this time Whitefoot was up in

move in as soon as possible. So
Whitefoot merely waited until he was
quite sure that there was no chance
that Shadow the Weasel would come

tree and started off, homeless but
hopeful. You see, Whitefoot didn't
want to waste much time thinking
about what had happened.
