THE ENGLISH GIRL.

EFSECT OF GOLF AND HOCKEY ON THE FIGURE. Teethe opinion of a Bond-street costumier and' corset-makers, the figures of English girls are ro'fc so good as those of the girls of , generation ago. The subject wa s discussed in relation to the influence of athletics uoon form. "My knowledge of the, very marked change which has beer, brought abou't 'in th-e Englishwoman 's figure," said the costumier, "is gained from the large numbers ' of girl s and young women who pass under my notice during a season. Women, I find, have broader shoulders now. ' and their arms arc muscular and'thicker. The waist line has nearly disappeared, and consequently •the hips are unmarked and unbounded. (Generally the *cnden.cy of the figure is to be straight —more masculine, in fact. The design of the corset has had to be changed with the change in the figure. "Golf particularly ha s affected 'the female form. It has widened the shoulders and put muscles on the "p----oer arms. Hockey and win.ter sports are other exercis.es which have helped on the change to the masculine type. There are. of course, many girl s with good figures, but their numbers are growing fewer." She: "How do you account, Mr Sample, for the publishers' always refusing your articles?" Mr Sample : "WeaTly, I havn't—er —-the ghost of an ideah." She: "Ah! perhaps thlat is the reason." TRIED IT ON THE HOUSE. -'•'When driving from Tainworlh to Bowling Allev Point. ol» 'of my 'horses took bad with gripes and got clown kicking and struggling," says Mr Sam I' Pyrke. of Bowling A'.lj.v Point. N.S.-W. "Those who passed mo considered the horse would die. As T always carry Chamberlain's Colii'. Cholera, anl Diarrhoea 'Remedy for my own use in case of ©mergenry. I out a whole bottle o± it in a pint of water and gave it to th<e horse. In less than a quarter of an hour he was up and started to feed. It is Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and D:arrhoea Remedy tihafc I hav e to thank for saving me a good hors>e.—Sold everywhere.*
