The latter can be rectified but the former cannot. For instance, a dress that is just the thing for a slim figure will cup and look particularly bad in back if a woman is inclined to be stout. The effect of the stralght lines can be had with correctness if there are a few gathers let into the under arm seam where the waist line Is supposed to come. This will prevent cupping and actually give a struighter back than when there is no fullness. A woman_should be careful to have skirts the right length for her. If too long, the style is wrong, if too short, the skirt is not graceful. Things to Remember. | Do not follow any fashion slavishly. {1t bars individuality. Do not go cor tra styles in costumes.

Parking With Peggy “Foiled.” “And the villain was foiled!” We say that in a jocular sense, because “foiled,” with {ts significance of “de- feated.” “outwitted,” is not used v, being regarded as a -al and melodramatic term. Originally, however, foiled was not only taken quite seriously in the most_dignified conversation. but it described specifically just how the vanquished were conquered! A foil is used in fencing, a sport which was better known in the day when tilts or passages at arms be- tween men were a common occur- rence.

It takes a long time for a girl to earn the name of “sponger’” among her friends. Our sex is long-suffering in finarclal metters between themselves, and locth to grow angry over some girl's hesitancy in paying for her share. But when we get wise to the fact that one of our sisters is systemat- ically sponging on us, we rise up, call her what she is, and put her on the black list forever. It is easy to fall into the sponging habit if you haven't quite as much pocket money as the rest of your crowd. Florence was in that position. She got a measly week's allowance, and she ran around with a rather wealthy crowd. Her friend Rhoda went to work, and spent most of her cash in lifting the nwortgage from the old home- stead. She hadn’t anything extra for parties either. Florence used to lunch often with the rest of the girls. They'd all crowd into some tearoom, order everything in sight, and when it came time to pay the bill, chip in and settle the damage claims, then and there I Florence was cagey when the check | arrived. She fumbled and faltered and exclaimed distractedly: “Oh darn, I've left all my change in my other coat.! Nothing but bills. W1li some one lend | me the tip? Some one always did.
