In those days coats were meant to be buttoned up; now they very often are not—which is quite. apparent from the fact that they are often innocent of any buttons or buttonholes. More- over, they are designed to hang down from the ulders in traight line, :omawhlt apart from the logical clos- ng. In truth, grandmothers nowadays must keep abreast of the fashion ten- dencies not to feel that their gra daughters are untidy and negligent past all hope, or that dressmakers have gone quite, quite mad. . It is all a matter of getting used to it, of course. The notched collar that has been the stock in trade for tailors for generations is, as we wear it, put to perverted use; for it came to bear its characteristic shape because it was thus made to fit the neck. Just turn up any regulation tailor's collar and _eee how it closes in about the necK, the notches af-' fording an easy way of folding the fronts of the coat, one over the other.

If a thing is of ex- pense, voila, it is to be desired; if it is exquisite but of little value in money, she has not eyes to see!” There was immeasurable scorn in his voice. “It i{» a month after the gift of the cabinet to her that madame comes to me and brings back the two fans; she must have money. I must sell them for her. Eh, bien, that is to me an af- fair of business, but when I tell her their value she flies into a rage! She had thought them worth more and she accuses me of trying to cheat her! I refuse then to sell ttem for her.

I'll ex- plain while he's on the way down. | want to ask him a few questions along a different line than we took with him before." Inspector Druet pressed the buzzer in his desk and when his subordinate appeared, briefly gave the order. Then as the door closed once more he xat back in his chair. “Go on. What's the idea? Don’t try to have him charged, Mac, with a crime we can’t prove on him, or this time the press will howl for my offi- cial head" “They’ve howled for it more than once before, sir, but it hasn’t fallen et!” McCarty grinned affectionately at his chief, and then his face grew What PAGE. ‘The measure of a woman's strength is her ability to make a powerful con- traction of a muscle; of her endur” ance, her ability to continue this con- traction, perhaps for a much lower degree, but for a long time. The strength of a muscle contraction de- Penuds partly on the number of strands in the muscle itself, chiefly on the strength of the nervous impulse.

Your o st#tement proves that he couldn't have fired that shot, and he beat it the minute he found the body.” “Yes, but why did he pick on the Creveling house in the first place? McCarty asked suddenly. “He was not just sauntering along looking for a likely lay when 1 saw him first: he was on the job and knew where he was going; you can bet on that!

This is " manifest in the evident enthusiasm Youths show for the numerous physi- cal culture faddists and their freak teachings about health and healing. The young woman is interested in hyglene and health in so far as study of an obedience of the laws of hy- giene may seem necessary to main § tain or gain a good complexion and good figure. It is only after thirty- five that men and women become seri- ously interested in the art of keeping well. Al the recognized thorities on the subject are of matyre age. NO- body will concede that a mere youth can teach one how to keep well. It is queer about this. A youth may have perfect health himself and a philosophy of health which is ever 80 sound, yet he is no prophet. Where- @3, & mature man may have a philos- ophy of longevity which the world accepts as conclusive, although the man_ himself succumbs to premature death from organic degeneration, as Metchnikoff did.

In studying the recognized authorl- ties and exponents of the art of liv- ing long, ich, of course, implies | keeping well, it is remarkable that every one of these philosophers with- out exception condemns overeating or counsels degrees of abstemiousness varying from mere temperance to fasting.
