Prof. Aehille Lesola claims to have found a T7onderful little obscure town la Italy where every girl and every wunan is beautiful. This town, Scanno, 1» far removed from railroads, and i» said to be utterly innocent of industry. And this la the cause of the women’s marvelous beauty, their perfectly class ic Grecian features, bautifully rounded shoxilders, perfectly shaped hands. In dustry. acordlng to the professor, ‘is the de^ly foe of beauty.’ Perhaps, perhaps; and more than possible. But how much more becom ing to women to starve? CIVIL SERVICE TEST FOR POETS. What is a bosky dell? What makes it bosky? What is a dingle? How do the cows come down the dingle ? Write a sonnet to My Lady’s Eyes without using the rhyme skies. Why does the sea moan? What is a beetling crag? What- has the beetle got to do with it! Describe a flowered mead. What is a mead? If so, why? How do you pronounce w-i-n-d? Is It any different from ordinary wind? . , How do you put in the blanks in blank verse? Do you consider the blank verse any noisier that the loaded kind? Write a popular song from any 40 lines of Milton’s Paradise Lost. Next to yourself, who Is the great est poet in the world?—Exchange THE BASQUE AGAIN. Not a bit of doubt of it—the basque is here, says a fashion writer in the Baltimore Sun. Not on the counters in the shirtwaist departments of the shops, to be sure; and not on the backs, it must be confessed, of very Tn«.ny women. But here and there in a very fashionable restaurant at tea hour one catches a glimpse of a new garment that is not a tunic, because it is not long enough; and'not a boa- ice, because there is a peplum-like ad dition’ below the waistline. In 8“ort, the new^hirtwaist basque is already the rage in Paris. From Bernard comes one ot me prettiest and most characteristic of these new shirtwaist-basques, which will be sure to have a warm welcome because of their grace and the way they have of making the figure sfeem more slender. ^ This new addition to women s dress (which is. of course, a very old fash ion revived) is made of black satin and Is designed to wear and skirt suit of black and mixed tweed. The “basque fastens at the back and has no seams except those under the arm and sleeve, the sleeve being cut in one basque in the ‘peasant style. ^ l>road panel down the front gives fulness across the bust, the panel being stitched only part way down. The basque falls Ju&t to the hip and belted in a thought above the normal waistline with a narrow belt made of a strip of black velvet ribbon and two strips of narrow silver braid, small steel buttons being sewed on the blacK velvet.

There are at least a hundred hands at work in the fair grounds making ready for the big event. The scrap er is clearing the way between tbe car track and ihe fair grounds. The circus made the mud, but the fair people will cart it away. And not on.y that, they have ordered wagon loads of saw dust as a “binder on the walk ways. .

Mrs. Minnie Wrlston Smith, to whom Charlotte is again to be indebted for hearing the great Heinman, thinks she can arrange to have him here on Nov. 27th. Heineman’s concert here last winter was the great musical event of the sea-' son. He Is by far the greatest artist'.^ Charlotte has heard in ages. His re-, ^ turn will be the chief musical event of' ^ this season. Many musicians from ^ the 1 near-by cities who did not hear him ^ last y^r, will not neglect to do so on his return date. Students of music who can not af ford to go north or abroad to study, have a rare opportunity in the coming of Heineman. He Is master of the art | of voice culture. j Heineman considers Mrs. Smith as the best exponent of hir. teaching. He wants her to go to Berlin next winter and teach in the conservatory there. This in indeed Is high tribute to Mrs. Smith. leges but now they believe the t5me is ripe for a departure. They propose to add to their college courses subjects of special value to women, paying In particular more attention .0 hygiene, biology and sociology. FAIR IN BRIEF. Departure In Education.
