\ Chicago rag dealer estimates that
each Of the 50,0C0,00O people of the
United States discards an average of
five pounds of clothing yearly, which
makes 250,OO0,0OO pounds for the whole
Then, he says, there are the tailoring
establishments, big and little, whose cut
tings are not much less in quantity, in the
aggregate, than the cast-otf clothes of the
nation at large, while their quality as rags
is greatly superior Then there are car
pets and bedding and curtains and other
domestic articles of clothing of some
kinds, which make up a goodly bulk in
the course of year. These different ar
ticlcs combined make up another 22O,
100000 pounds of cloth material which
has been discarded from use, and which,
eventually finds its way into the ragman's.
His estimate is that one hundred car
loads of rags enter and leave Chicago
daily.

The Best Society" IN Water

There are every season ut Cape May
and Long Branch, women so attmel for
the water, that if in France thew ven
tured forth they would receive the stern
attention of the police. \ friend recalls
the appearance OF young married lady
a lady admitted to society in Philadel-
phia-as she came from her bathroom one
day at Cape May. She had on the regu-
lar stage tights, from her waist down, and
the body OF her dress fitted her as closely
to the legs, While her head was adorned
with Il skull cap of loud color and trim
mings, making her altogether an object
to startle the most experienced
She left nothing whatever to the I'M
agination. She was less clothed than
ever the Menken as Mazeppa: yet there
was no blush upon her check as she gave
her naked arm to the man mot her hus-
band) who went with her into the init
macy of the surf. This lady would have
shuddered at the mere thought of raising
her dress above her knee to cross Chest
nut street, but she had no shame in going
almost nude into the presence of hundreds
of men, women and children, and doing
her utmost by her manner and the ar

to advertise her boldneSs.
Five years ago the feminine arms and
legs and busts were as carefully kept from
view at the seaside us they were in
the cities, for We had not yet reached the
strange conclusion that there is one stand
ard OF mOdeSty for summer and another
for winter. Indeed ladies were more mod
est AT the resorts. The city ball dress was
always lavish in its revelations, While the
bathing costume concealed everything
and suggested nothing, and even ut night
for the hop there was not the recklessness
Of the town ball dress. To-day, nine
women out of ten discard the old style
bathing costume and don the new fan
gled one, their legs in stockings or tights,
and, occasionally, even without either Of
these, with no more concern, as babes on
their mothers laps, they kicked about
their plump limbs in infantile glec What
ever of bashtulnesS still remains to them
they leave Oh shore, and in the water they
are ready for anything. They mount on
mems shoulders and dive therefrom: they
are ducked, and tioated and Rugged by
fellows OF whom, not untrequently, they
know nothing at ALL and to whom they
are often introduced but ten minutes be

well merited applause from the delighted

by Charlie Hargis. My Impressions OF

painting before the audience "What They

made everyone in the house applaud.
"Our Folks, by Henry Lindsey, took many
one in heart back to older time. They
Ask Ne Why Am So Bad" convinced
all the question did not apply
to folly Kref. Little Oleander Sip
by sweet little Clara Whitla, brought a
storm of applause. The Paupers Death
Bed" was rendered as by one voice by ten
readers. Ten and Dolly" by Maybelle
Stanage, WAS an exquisite presentation OF
the little girl and her darling doll. "Give

the audience did, snd were all delighted

each received it from the audience.
