PATON & CO’S GREAT SHOW

Will be Continwed To-day, Py HEN VISITING the store of this firm the reflection that consideration y of space will pre- vent us from dilat- ing on the merits of the various noy- elties shown at the lengtk we would desire,is al- ways a matter of regret. We have Ouve ur Lwice caught ourselves in the act of wishing that these novelties were neither so meritorious nor as numerous as is the case, for the effort to notice them all in the space available is noth- ing less than harrowing.

This spring the firm has eclipsed it- self in providing all that is dainty and attractive in feminine attire.

THE DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENT.

We have sccustomed ourselves to

look for a well selected stock in this popular department. Itis, of course, iarpossible to go into details where there is so much variety in texture, pattern andshade. We will therefore only direct attention to some of the leading popular goods. There seems to be still confidence in Crepons Figur- ed and plain Alpacas, Shot Alpacas, Five Shot Sicilians, Lace Stripes and Figures. We were very favorably im- pressed with the selection of Colored Costumes shown us there. FLOWER AND FEATHER DEPARTMENT. Is a strong feature of this house. These are far too many to attempt any de- scription. Mowever just a passing re- mark about 250 spraysof Gems and French Colored Sprays and Wreaths shown from 85 cents to $2,75 each. «A veritable flower garden on every hat,”’So the Americans have pronounced the Paris bats and from what is shown, Mr Paton has caught the infection if the flower imports are any guide. We were shown over 75 large cartoons of Easter flowers.

Sitks.—The range of Silks to be seen is a thoroughly representative one. As you look over the lot you can rest sssured that they are the latest. It ap- pears that fancy Antique designs will be very popular. Fancy Moires are apparently great favorites. We were especially captivated with the shaded grounds and floral designs.

PARISIAN BONNETS AND HATS,

Reviewing the trimmed hats as a whole we find flowers, more particularly roses, and pansies, used in t profusion, together with jewelled ribbons and fancy gauzes. Fancy colored straws

ominate, those in violet and red being particularly attractive. Special shapes are stocked suitable for cycling ; Children’s hats, too, are made a spe- cial feature of. The many charming French models to be seen defy a mere pen description ; suffice it to say, there- fore, that this firm are manifestly well to the fore in Parisian productions, of which fact wise buyers should make a note. The straw hat untrimmed forms a great feature of this firm’s stock, and the variety of shapes and colors they are offering is calculated to meet all demands. The Straw with Shot effect appears to be now very popular. Ir Black Straws the range is particu- larly large, comprising, we should say, every conceivable shape. In trimm- ings, the favorite flowers appear to be Lilies and Lilac.

‘JUBILEE GOODS.”

So called Jubilee goods are to be seen inalmost every department and there seems to be but little doubt that every novelty produced in this special year of grace will have the mark of the Jubilee somewhere upon it. ‘This is as it should be, and when the fer-

vour of commemoration festivities . has’

become—as it is sure to become—an epidemic, then the wise dry goods man will reap his harvest.

GLOVE DEPARTMENT.

It isexpected to be a leather year, and in Kid, Lamb, and Doesxin all the jatest productions in fancy points and buttons are found. The 4 Horn Button Glove is a feature of the season. In this department all classes of gloves are found.

Children’s Millinery Department is well equipped in special lines in bonnets and tams. The Lace and Fall Net Departmeut is‘a well known spot in this house, and the extent and variety of the veiling stock is remarkable. The Ribbon Department contains al! the leading lines from the Baby Ribbon up to the Grand 14 inch Silk-Picot ‘width. This is a ribbon Shot centre with contrast border and Fancy edge. Justa gem ofa ribbon. Gauze rib- bons promise to be a special feature of this season’s trade.

SKIRTS.

In the department in which this smart looking department garment is shown, there is a numberless variety with flounces. Some are in Alpacas, Moreens, Moriettes, Zephyrs, Jap Shot Moreen and Shot Silks. In the trimm- ing department, embroideries seem to carry the day with Boleros, Garnitures, Chiffons, Nets and Gimps. These goods are all suitable fora high class trade. Laces and frillings collars and cuffs all in newest effects.

LADIES’ SHIRT WAISTS AND BLOUSES. The stock shown is extensive: we were shown over 700 waists with the new

THE DAILY KXAMIVER,

sleeve and collar, tie and cuff to match which are particularly noticeable, — to-

gether with White Lawn Waists, Cre- pons, Fancy Zephyrs, Petisses, Piquess and French Lawns, and Fancy and Spot Muslins, Plain

Black Sateens, also Colored Sateens, also the Staple Cumbric warranted to wear well.

SUNSHADES,

A perfect blaze of sunshades, Bright Colors, Shots, and Plains exceedingly dressy with sticks to match. a

MANTLE DEPARTMENT.

Although coming Jast in -our notice this department is by no means the least important and should and will receive a visit for young ladies short cloth capes will again be worn with fancy silk facings and linings. Jackets are conspicuous for their absence. Elderly ladies will adopt the long capes made in worsted and silk with preity Black Lace lining. Hundreds of garments shown.

The windows, which are so superbly dressed, will be on exhibition to-day. No doubt many admirers will be pleased to halt and admire their beauty. The firm will be pleased to have any person call, no matter whether or not they in- tend making any purchases.

WOMAN’S PHYSIQUE. Correct Proportions and Hlow to Maintain Them.

In a lecture at the Academy of Na- tional Sciences in Philadelphia Professor A. B. Brubaker, discussing the subject of ‘‘Physical Development,”’ said:

‘‘Professor Gottfried Schadow of the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin has given to the world, in his figure of an artistically formed woman, the follow- ing measurements: Height, 634 inches; breadth of neck, 834 inches; shoulders, 15 inches; waist, 9 inches; hips, 1344 inches.

‘‘Long before Professor Schadow’s time an unknown artist created the Venus de Medici, the world’s ideal of perfection in the female figure, on these measurements: Height, 63 inches; breadth of neck, 4 inches; shoul- ders, 16 inches; waist, 94¢ inches; hips, 183 inches.

‘Professor Sargent, with several thousand tabulated life measurements in hand, produced composite figures of the young American girl with these measurements: Height, 6314, inches; breadth of neck, 3.8 inches; girth of neck, 12.1 inches; breadth of shoulders, 14.7 inches; breadth of waist, 8.6 inches; girth of waist, 24.6 inches; breadth of hips, 13.1 inches; girth of hips, 36.4 inches; girth of calf, 13.3 inches; girth of upper arm, 10.1 inches; girth of thigh, 21.4 inches, and forearm, 9.2 faches.

‘*Miss Arna Wood has given measure- ments closely similar to those of Pro- fessor Sargeant in her composite figure of the Wellesley college girl, being aver- aged from the measurements of over 2,000 young women.

‘‘Given the height, proportion and weight of an average physique for the man and woman, what should be the attitude or posture of such an individ- ual, especially when standing? By pos- ture is meant a position of equilibrium of the body which can be maintained for some time, such as standing, sitting or lying.

‘For the maintenance of the erect posture the following conditions must be realized: (1) The corresponding halves of the body must be in the same anatom- ical relation; (2) the center of gravity of the whole body must fall just in front of the last lumbar yertabra. That the first of these two conditions may be realized, there must be a well developed and symmetrical skeleton and a corre- sponding symmetrical development of the muscles on the two sides of the body. That the second condition may be real- ized, there must be such a development of the extensor muscles on the back of the body as will be sufficient to afftag- onize the flexor muscles on the front of the body.

‘These conditions are not always realized, and hence certain physical de- fects are observable, such as obliquity of the head, elevation or depression of .the shoulder, curvature of the spine, and forth.

‘*Among the defects which interfere with proper stature and proportions may be mentioned knockknees, bowlegs aud pigeon toes.

‘*Knockknees occur in childhood or at puberty and are generally associated with rickets and due to a want of mus cular or bony strength. Owing to the width of the pelvis, the thigh bones are inclined inward. This determines the direction of the deformity. There is a disproportion between the weight of the body and the strength of the muscles. In consequence the inner condyle of the thigh bone grows down and inward and throws the lower leg outward.

**Bowlegs are also associated with rickets and want of strength in muscles and bones. In this condition the natural curve of the bones is exaggerated, and the leg bends outward.

‘*Pigeon toes are aterm applied to the inward direction of the foot, depend- ent on insufficient development of the muscles which should turn the foot out- ward. This is a condition observed in monkeys and very young children.

‘*In addition to the above mentioned deformities relating to the trunk and limbs there are others found in both men and women, especially in the lat- ter, however, which relate to changes in the shape of the thorax, caused by un- due compression or constriction.

‘*It is difficult to understand why thie constriction should have been indulged in through the ages. There is an idea, however, that it confers on the individ- ual an artistié effect. The Greek woman of the decademé period suggested the methods we i's “It was adopted by the Romans St: the beginningiof the em- pire. During the. middle ages it died out, to"be revived _ jn,,the twelfth cen- tury. ’’—New. Yerk.Sume- oe

WOMEN’S WAYS,

A reo) clever wotnan can fix her hair to look as if she had taken the top of her head off while she did it.—~Atchison Globe.

‘* Ladies’ smoking cars”’ are now being

run on some of the Russian railways. No wonder the good, sensible wife or mother is satisfied to be referred to merely as a

woman.—Cleveland Leader.

A New York paper publishes the in- formation that it takes $25,000 to dress a woman fashionxbly and keep her in a hap- py state of mind. It is a blessed thing that so many women can effectually con- ceal their unhappiness. —Buffalo Courier.

In Kansas a woman who had killed two children was acquitted of murder, and about 50 other women at once crowded around her and kissed her and cried over her. Meanwhile the mother of the dead vhildren sat alone and unheeded. Women continue, upon occasions, to be queer crea- tures.—Cleveland Leader.

WHEEL WHIRLS.

Don’t try to catch the handle bar with your teeth.

Don’t look around to see if the hind wheel is following.

Always fall on your right shoulder and do not let your ear strike the ground till a few seconds later.

Don’t: be survrised if the front wheel shows a disposition to turn into a yard and lie down for a rest.

Never killa pedestrian when it can be avoided, but when you do kill one dis- mount and say you're sorry.

When you lose a pedal, don’t get off and go back to look forit. It’s thereon the machine still, and if you’ll feel for it long enough you'll find it again.

Should you find a runaway horse on your trail, keep close to the curb until he has passed. Then make a spurt and seize oak ty the tailand puton the brake,—
