The Girl with the New Figure. Here's to the girl with the new shape! Long may she reign! Have you seen her —the young person with actually a natural figure?

She is the best type of woman we have had in many a day. Perhaps she has a big waist, but she glories in it, for she is comfortable to a degree. She is the outcome of. the athletic fad, and she illustrates more plainly than anything else that the day of the independent woman is at hand.

Women no "longer dress entirfely to please the men. Matrimony has ceased to be the chief aim of their existence. Tight lacing has gone out of fashion. The natural new shape has come in. Not so very long ago the 15 and 17-inch corsets were no uncommon things. Now they are almost unheard of. To-day an 18-inch cor-

Miss Emily Scott and daughter, Grace, set is considered ridiculously small and is

but seldom sold. The corset most in demand measures 24 inches. Women now have their corsets made to order to fit them, or have the ready-made opes altered to suit their figures.

Years ago your individual shape mat tered little. All women whose natural waist measurement was 21 inches bought about a 17-inch corset and then proceeded to squeeze their figure into it. The result was that they much resembled an animated hour-glass.

They wore a corset which pressed the bust up until it came dangerously near the chin. Below the bust there was a marvelous sinking in and then a painful, tiny waist, with a stomach too prominent and hips too sudden. Every woman tried to possess this distorted figure.

Now the girl with the natural shape is there. The hour-glass woman is forgotten, and the new girl is a delight to behold

She wears a corset which holds her bust in just the place where nature intended it should be. Her hips are free, her waist natural, and there is no sudden compression below the bust, but plenty of room left for her to breathe freely. Between the bust and the waist line a tiny gusset is inserted, which allows the figure- to assume its natural breadth. In fact, there is almost a straight line between bust and waist. But the oorset is cut so perfectly that instead of spoiling the figure its every natural curve is made prominent, and it is sure to be most graceful. The new corset is cut on the bias.

The old-time corset was like a vise. Its steels were like bands of iron, and its weight in itself was enough to have permanently injured any women who wore it. It was made of heavy jeans and faced with stiff linen, and.it would have taken the hand of a Sandow to have broken one of its steels. •,

The corset which supports the new shape is almost as light as a feather. It actually weighs only a few ounces. Batiste and very fine French coutilie are the favorite material of which it is made. No steels are used at all but whalebones, which are so pliable that they easily bend double.

The new shape indicates the vigorous, healthy, independent woman of to-day. The old shape suggests the blushing, delicate, shapeless woman of the past.

Ironical Ifs.

If he can't sell it, the stationer keeps a diary for an entire year. If a man is just as good as another he doesn't have to insist that he is...

If a woman has the vices of a man that is the worst thing you can say of her. If a man is big and fat and able to keep his mouth shut he can bluff almost any one.

If you read the newspapers you will notice that most young men who die were hustlers.

If a man is only a little lower than the angels the angels haven't much to be proud of.

If you would know your faults, quarrel with a friend if your virtues make up with an enemy.

If a man will persist in painting the town red he can't expect to keep in the pink of condition.

If a woman is wise she will never remind her husband of the fool things he said during courtship.

••Pot Boifers Emerftnt.''

After weeks in the forest of Fontainebleau it is difficult to realize its monotonous amplitude, its endless repetition of similar prospects. And yet as a forest it has no surpassing beauty. One may compare it with Dartmoor—Dartmoor pared of its highest tors and set thickly wiith young trees, growing close as the moss on a bowlder. It is a rolling upland with a scanty mantle of soil, through the frequent gaps in which the broken gray bowlders of the naked earth sometimes rise in fantastic heaps, sometimes line concavities a mile across, or fringe the gaping lips of long ravines. Like Dartmoor, the surface is arid, and Ton may tramp miles and see never a pool, and yet, on every side you may descend from the forest by green valleys into green plains and find teooks leaping miraculously from, the dusty rooks to dip under fringing willows)

It is to those happy skirts of the forest thatthe painters' villages cling Barbizon, advertised by Stevenson and now abandoned to the cultured tourist Cernay, with its great village square Marlotte, smothered under masses of lilacs like a child laughing in new mown hay Moret, on the Seine, with its tower flanked, steep pitohed bridge, its mills and ruined castles and spreading river, and a dozen others. The simplest of them turn austere faces to the solemn spaciousness of the forest, but their sweet gardens give access to the green comforts of the plain an image maybe of the artists themselves high unprofitable aims in the salon pot boilers emerging end red wine oaming in to the studio doors.—Saturday Review."

IT'S

Self Inducing Methods.

An article in The Lancet gives some hints on the inducing of sleep which will be of interest to all viotims of insomnia. So vital is the neoessity for sleep that any method by which it may be secured is worthy of attention. The means employed is to produce weariness by muscular exercise after retiring "Lying on his baok, the patient first reaches for the foot and head boards at the same time. He then raises his head half an inch. At the same time hr breathes slowly and deeply about eight inspirations to the minute, which are counted. After about 20 inspirations the head, whioh begins to feel heavy, is dropped. The right loot is then raised (the reaching for the boards and coun. ing being continued) and similarly dropped when fatigued. The left foot goes through the same process. The musoles which are used in reaohing for the head and foot boards are then relieved, and the body is elevated so that it rests on the head and heels. He then turns on the right side and reaches for the head and foot boards again and raises first the head and then the foot, as before. The same process is gone through on the other side. Thus eight positions have been assumed and a large number of muscles used. If sleep ha? not been induoed, the same cyole is gone over again.

A Wise Male.

Among our pack mules was one who on a fishing trip several years before had visited this very locality in which we were encamped, but she had come the previous time the straight route over the mountains. What was our amazement one morning to find this mule gone and with her two of her comrades, whom she had evidently led astra?. Hunt high and hunt low, we oould not find them, and after wasting several day? in this fruitless search we set out for home. Upon arrival there we were surprised and delighted to find that the mules had preceded us. The old mule had at once recognized her previous camping place, changed though it must have been by the severe storms to whioh this region is subject, and had determined in her wise old head to strike out for home immediately without waiting for the formality of carrying a pack, and this she and her companions, ill advised but evidently not misguided, did, not following the trails for we had carefully inspected them, but heading through the dark and confusing forests, guided by the old mule, as straight as though directed by the unswerving needle of a magnetic compass.—Charles Dudley Rhodes, U. S. A., in Lippincott's.

An Unfortunate Synonym.

An American girl who recently studied in Germany tells of a German girl who was studying English, and who used to write letters in English to her parents. Ona day the German girl handed a letter to her, saying: "Here is the letter which I have written to my mother. I want yot^ to read it over and if it is properly written.

The letter was all right, excepting the closing phrase, which read as follows "God pickle and keep you."

An investigation proved that the young German woman in looking for a synonym for "preserve" had come across "pickle."—New York Tribune.

OUR ANNUAL

•The Much of the Men of Hariecn.--In military musio the march occupies a prominent position and has been employed not only to stimulate courage, but also from about the middle, of the seventeenth century to insure the orderly advance of troops. One of the earliest instances of rhythmical march is the Welsh war strain, "The March of the Men of Harlech," which is supposed to have originated during the |iege of Harlech castle in 1468. In Engrand the military march was of somewhat later development.

Sir John Hawkins in his "History of Musio" tells us that its characteristic was dignity and gravity, in whioh respect it differed greatly from the Frenoh, whioh was brisk and alert, and apropos of this subject the same author quotes a witty reply of an Elizabethan soldier to the Frenoh Marshal Biron's remark that "the English march, being beaten by the drum, was slow, heavy and sluggish." "That may be true," he said, "but slow as it is it has traversed your master's country from one end to the other. "—Chambers' Journal.

Colored Mrs. Partington.

In spite of all that the publio sohools can do the oolored person still gets terribly tangled up with the English language. A lady lately sent her colored servant to hang out the washing, and before long the girl returned and remarked, "Mrs. the wind is playing hammock with those olothes!" Coming back one day from the office of a physician, where fhe had been treated for an ailment, the same girl said in answer to an inquiry as to how the doctor had prescribed for her, "Oh, he gave me some eider down to paint my side with!" (It turned out to be iodine.)
