It only “looks” so, because the world sees so little of Fashionable Lmmoddesty. Lon ton Letter in Sun Frenctsco Argonaut. Take the famtly portraits which hang In the pleture gallaries ot all great houses, and we are driven to admit that whatever else of womanly virtue our grandmothers and great aunts pos- sessed, modesty was not one of them, and that the study of female anatomy was as advanta- geously provided by the paintings of Galnsbor- ough and Sir Joshua Reynolds as by the writ- Ings of Dunglison and Hunter. But to come down to our own time. In Eng- «ithe female evening or full dress is, andalways hus been, de rigueur, decollete. It Is the estab- ised court dress of the English court, and there never has been @ sovereign so strict in the rules aad regulations which enforce its observance as is Queen Victoria.

Mrs. Cornwallis West is now xetting decidediy passe; but In her best days, about three or four years ago, she dressed as Hlete as—well, as decollete as everybody dresses now. But at the tlne she was con- silerably sat upon in consequence. Yet no one could really blame her, beyond its then styled Immodesty, for showing as lovely a neck and shoulders'as one could well wish to see. The young Marchioness of Kildare, Lady Hermione Duncombe that wasa few months ago, hasa beautiful neck, of which she never hesitates to show what would be considered @ superabun- dauce in a less favored-by-nature woman. And, after all, that ix really where It all is. One doesn't object to the pretty necks going as decollette as they please. It Is the ugly ones that make the fashion detestable. Did fashion restrict the custom to the possessors of marble shoulders, satin necks and billowy bosoms, there wouldn't be a word said. But, uitappily, tt lets every one take part in the full-dress “undress” varaile, and, a8 & consequence, fat old dowagers With necks and dumplin-like continuations of buckskin; ancient maidens with yellow parchment backs more rounded than’ their chests: tall, ungainly women who consider skin- covered shoulder blades and collar bones a sight to delight the eye: and esthetic young damsels, the Nile green of whi complexions and the unbroken flatness of whose outlines seem to intensify ax they descend—all find entrance, and, in keeping with tie well-established peca ties of uzly women, think thelr charins are great that other people cannot be shown end of them.

Itis in the tmmense va- riety ofher attractions that Mrs. Langtry really | stands alone among women, not only’ asthe most beautiful, but the most bewitching woman ‘= never heard denied by any one who has ever been thrown in her society. I have no doubt there will be many who on first seeing her on the stage will say they are disappointed. But won't realiy be. They will only think go. A woman whose beauty would please all pre- conceived tastes and satisfy all anticipations would not only be an impossibility, but a non- descript as odd as ever delighted the wily Bar- num. No such woman ever existed. The ma- jority will like her at once, while the others, with ideals of beauty different from hers, will find their real and only disappointment in the shattering of the models their minds had ever | porriite to them at the lon of female loveliness. But once the’ destroyed, they will goon be won over. To those who come back from her first performance I say “Wait.

From the Australian Federal, The idea of the whole globe being hypothe- cated by countless millions of debtors to a cal- culable number of creditors is a very startling one when it is abruptly and nakedly presented. And it is difficult to Imagine so vast an estate in liquidation, or to coujecture in what bank- ruptey court the creditors would prove their debts, or who would be the official assignees to collect and distribute the assets. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the whole world is in pawn, and that its balance sheet shows us an ageregate of labllities whieh is absolutely ap- palling.” They have been summed up In the ‘Fortnightly Review” by Mr. A. J. Wilson, an experienced. writer on financial subjects, and the total is the stupendous sum of 5.304 million pounds sterling, an amount which, If repre- sented In sovereiuns, It would take a man 172 years to count, at the rate of a soverelgn a ininute, without a moment's cessation from be- ginning toend. To detray the interest on this enormous debt requires €200,000,000 per at- num, which Mr. Wilson represeuts to be fully equal to the entire earnings of eight millions of people; and “did each individual in these eight millions support a family of three persons only beside himself the tnterest upon these debts 1 imply the absorption of the entire. sup- a debt owing to bond and while the local debts—state and the United States amount to 20,000, The mother country is the greatest uwnbroker inthe world, and dra £250,000,000 nations and colonies in- debted to her.

From the Waterbury Ainerican, “Sir, you got my naine spelled wrong in the paper last night.” exclaimed an overheated woman as khe deposited her shopping bundles on the editorial table and herself in the chair. “Come with me,” said the editor sternly, grasp- ing her wrist. He then led her to the compos- ing room, where 25 human beings, Just as human as any other mortals, were tolling at inclined, partitioned-off tables of a perplexing nature. ' She watched them a moment, caught a glimpse over thelr shoulders of the hiero- glyphics that they were wrestling with, and be- came bewildered. Relentlessly he led her on to where the devil was taking proofs, and showed her a few original proofs untli her blood boiled. Still, without mercy, he took her to where men were reading those proofs in the corner, with the boys who were holding the copy, the only ones who could sleep amid the din of telegraph clicking and the hurly-burly of the street without—men, Just as human as any other mortals; then. despite her pleadings, back to the editorial table where lay a confused mass of something like 300 news- papers, one dozen half finished articles, 55 let- ters, both publig and private, 17 communicated manuscripts of Importance, but not illeg- ble, and a score of long strips of “revised” proofs to be read azain by him, while three men, 4 woman, two ball players, a victim from the police court, an offended subscriber, six politi- ans, a cat, ‘the washerwoman, adog and the tax collector were waiting on the mat without, with the devil howling for copy and four report= ers waiting for orders. “Oh, never mind it!” she shrieked, in desperation; “I don't care.” Her name was Amadeline Ernestina O’Shaugh- oratihennessy. An ‘'s" had been left out of it. If it had been Smith, just as bad a blunder might have occurred in any printing office run by human beings. a The Art of Early Rising. From the Popular Science Monti The proper time to rise, says the Lancet, is when sleep ends. Dozingshould not be allowed. True sleep is the aggregate of sleeps, or is a state consisting in the sleeping or rest of all the several parts of the organism. Sometimes one and at other times another part of the body, as a whole, may be the least fatigued, and so the first to awake, or the most exhausted, and there- fore the most difficult to arouse. The secret of good sleep is the physiological condition of rest being established, so to work and weary the several parts of the organisin as to give them a proportionally equal need of rest at the same moment; and, to wake early and feel ready to rise, a fatr and equal start of the sleepersshould be secured; and the wise self-manager should pot allow a drowsy feeling of the consciousness or weary senses, or an exhausted muscularsystem, to beguile him into the folly of going to sleep again when onoe he has been aroused.
