BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Attracted by the advertisement of
an osteopath, John Brock decided TO
try this new science to cure his hip.
A year before he had fallen on an icy
sidewalk, and since that time pains
reappeared at intervals.
The osteopath diagnosed the injury
as a partial dislocation of the hip and
applied the treatments prescribed by
the science Of Osteopathy. But when,
after four months of such treatments.
the pains still required, Brock stopped
his visits and refused to pay the cs-
feopath's bill, claiming that as W
treatments were obviously wrong. ne
was not liable 10 pay for them.
At the suit of the oSteopath for the
payment or MS account Brooks at.
torney called as witness a physical n
for the purpose of having him testify
that although the diagnosis of the os-
teopath was correct. his treatments
We're wrong, according to medical
science.
Counsel. for the osteopath objected
to the intended testimony. and the
court, sustained the objection, stating
"A physician is required to eXer.
else only that degree Of skill which
other physicians of the same school
or system of practice usually eXer-

Yards and Yards of Material

material of the lightest sort. There
must be nothing bulky or massive
about the finished frock
From the present point of view
such frocks may be considered volumi-
nous. But, of course, they really are
not, when we recall that in 1859 no
less than 100 yards of tulle were
used in the making of single dress.
Much as you may like the scant,
short frccks that have been in fash
ion for the past few years. you must
be prepared fer a gradual swinging

of the fashion pendulum in the other
direction. For the present there has
really been only slight lengtheninc
of skirts. save for the occasional pc
Rod frock for evening or afternoon.
With most of the dressmakers there
has been only an inch of lengtheninc
to the skirts Of most frocks, but this
is a most significant inch!
Occasionally wedding frocks are
very long. When the Hon Ursula
Mary Lawley. for several years maid
of honor to the Queen of England, was
married few weeks ago. she wore
gown of gold and velvet brocade that
actually reached below the ankles.
Now that days are growing just
little cooler scarfs may be worn with
real comfort. Perhaps you would
