Not MormOnIsm but Celibacy to he Feared.
OF Mormonism as q national danger,
much that is superficial and idle is spoken
and written. The Mormons are sober, in
dustrious and thrifty, and their acceptance
of polygamy is our only grievance against
them. But polygamy, beyond all question,
we need not fear at all Even among the
Mormons it exists In com paratively few
instances. 1t Is barbarous institution,
and is held only where women are held in
the bondage of ignorance and seryitude.
No man who has regard for his peace or
comfort would think of having two wives
in country in which women have become
so intelligent and independent that the
only sure way of living happily with even
one is 10 be humble and obedien,. Sensu.
atty with US, we may be reasonably GER

The problem which will present itself for
solution Is not whether man shall have
several wives, but whether he shall have
one or none at all, and whatever the future
of Mormonism may be, here In the United
States 1t must cease to be polygamous.

Modern Costume. in Greece.

The rich old costumes are coming, or
have come, to be regarded as ridiculous by
the islanders, and are only put on to please
strangers or by way Of joke. In another
generation or two the curious traveller will
be unable to find them. Those that have
gold and lace upon them will be bought
up by Jew dealers, who have been for
years securing the Egean like the corsairs
of old. The rest viii be torn up or thrown
away. It is just the same thing in Pelo-
pornesus. The men who are the great
dandies all through Greece still don their
Albanian costumes in Sparta and Magalo-
polls, if they have not seen the world.
But among the rich scarlet and white Of
this splendid dress you see the really
fashionable man, the member Of parliament
or local magistrate, in black dress coat
and chimney pot hat, perhaps with
gray plaid wrapped about his shoulders.
And this hideously dressed person is
looked up to as the glass of fashion by the
people around him. whose national dress
gives them shat dignity of mien and of
manners which always accompanies rich
costume.
So it is with the women. About Mount
Parnassus and its neighboring Alps YOU
will still find the women dressed ON hali-
days in colors and coins quaint and beauti-
full to behold In Peloponnesus CANDY
