Sitting for Their Photographs In Scant'
Raiment-A Growing Evil.


Raiment-A Growing Evil.
Chicago Herald.
While awaiting the result of 8 search
for negative in well known photog-
rapher's studio, looked over the large
albums lying on the table. They were al
most entirely filed with pictures of wo-
men-5eautiful women and women who
fancled themselves beautiful. There was
q vast difference; women in street Co.'S
tunes and women in evening gowns, and
finally women with no gowns. Do not
start, modest reader; they were
not absolutely nude, but the next
thing to 1t. One beautiful head
attracted my, attention-perfect in con-
tour and with soft, fluffy hsir, highly
powdered and twisted in Psyche knot,
which we'll suited the Grecian profile.
The neck was symmetrical, and so were
the shoulders, and-so WAS the back, OF
which fully one half WAS plainly visible.
There was absolutely nothing over the
shoulders, not even 8 strap or bit OF
fimy lace. There WAS the marole-like
beauty tremendously exposed. called

"Is this an actress?"

"Do you often take such pictures?"
"Yes, indeed. We have as many orders
as we can ELL"
"Do you ever have applications for the

often want their pictures taken down to
the waist. Now this picture you see is
taken in the corsets-not even corset
cover over the shoulders. We take ladies
almost every dsy in corset covers and
chemises. See, here is one," and she
poin ed to q photograph OF young
woman standing, leaning against 8
curtain. She wore the skirts Of q
dark gown, but no waist, save o
lace trimmed chemise. Thrown around
her, but with great care not TO hide the
neck, bust and arms, was Ice shawl,
the subject wore q painfully conscious
smile as If to say, "see how surprisingly
lovely am"
"Lsst week." went on my informant,
"a girl came in and said she wanted two
styles of pictures taken. She eat with
her waist on, then calmly Invested her
self Of all covering down to her corsess
and handed the artist small lace scarf
TO drape her with. o. it's only their
vanity" she said good naturedly; "they
would be shocked if you called them i'm

beautiful, and are q little vain OF their

The Effecs of tho Action.

MARS ALL, Ten. May lin the re-
port of Saturdays county Democratic
CO.. veniion relative to the prohibition
question things got rather mixed. There
we're two resolutions introduced, one by
a pro and the other by an anti. The con-
vention tabled both resolutions. The
effect of this action was 10 show that the
county convention did not consider the
prohibition question as affecting any
mans Democracy; that his voting either
pro or anti did not make him better
Democrat than his neighbor who voted on
the other side; that they are opposed to
the state convention taking any action on
the question further than hiss heretofore
been done. They consider the question
settled by the vote of last fall, and any
agitation In the state convention OF this
question might tend to estrange good and
true men from the party.

acres of land and reacn from s point OPP

nearly five miles wide and the oveI flow
makes a srest and turbulent sea. The
break occurred st Murphey's bay, known
as the Turkeys Foot. The last overflow
in these bottoms was In 1881.
At 6 p. m. this morning the Indian
Grave levee gave way and submerged

For many hours men worked b rd to save
