Hence, all the French dressmakers are dis- countenancing the slender waist. Fragil- ity in that respect is to be rigidly avoided, they say, and the really lovely lines of fashion’s waist are those of the Venus de Milo, and of the Pallas, and of the Diana. The Greek women must now be taken as examples to be followed. Those women had waists of perfect beauty, these modern lothiers of women have suddenly discov- ered, and the cast of the future waist must be upon the Greek model. The beduty and: the grace of the lines of the ancient women of Greece are now in the minds of all the Parisian women, and the reform has not started in any lukewarm fashion, but has suddenly become the watchword’ and the rigid law. And so, what writers, cialists without number to do, Dame Fashion, accomplished. Without stopping to dissect the folly or wisdom of the source from which spring the surest reforms in such a matter as this, women and men may well congratulate themselves that the reform has occurred, irrespective of how it hap- pened or whence it came. The sane, nat- ural waist of woman is here, and the hour glass variety has ceased to be, except for those women who choose to be out of style. —ste> Changed His Mind.

There is an old-saying that “the man who hesitates is lost,”” and in this instance the truth of the axiom was amply verified. The old gentleman pulled at his xray mous- tache and a troubled look came into his eyes, but he finally said, with every evi- dence of eventyallz acceding to the lady's request in his manfer: “Not often. watch us pretty close bere.”” “But I’ve got, 90d letter for four years’ service, and ae ae R.

He read the letter, asked the operator if the card was “all nt,” and getting an ‘mative reply, sais “Well, I'll take you as far as I go. Bet- ter go down and get in the train right away. I’m most ready to leave.” The operator put on his coat and escorted the traveler out to her train, .nd in a few minutes the little lady was on her way west. The local telegrapher stood ‘under the big shed and watched the rapidly re- ceding red lights, and as the last one went out of sight, he murmured: “Well; she’s a bird, all right, all right.” The boys in the big depot are nuw won- dering what will be the next break of the “new woman,” and some of thom treely ex- press the opinion that 1900 .vill see the “bloomer girl’ following a switen-engine and braking 6n freizht trains.
