A Beautiful Vienna Girl.

Standing, sitting, leaning; sad, smil-
ing or simply meditative; arrayed in a
variety of chic costumes; smoking a
cigarette, peeping over mask, ETC., she
has challenged comparison with every
fresh rival. A few years ago she won
$4,000 prize at beauty contest. Then
she was simply Miss Mertens, "to fort
une and to fame unknown" After that
she became fixed star in the theatrical
armament, and is now an actress at the
Eden theatre in Paris. She is a distract
ing beauty, perhaps the most beautiful
woman in Europe. Her skin shows the
smooth, dead white of the magnolia
blossom, a tint seen to perfection among
the Austro-Hungarians. An Oriental
languor softens her large, white lidded
eyes. She is tall, of generous build and
very graceful. = Philadelphia North

Two Brave English Yachtswomen.

There are two famous yachtswomen at
Cowes, Mrs. Rudson Reed and her sister,
Miss Cox, who both sail their own boats.
The former lady's is called the Trouble
some and the latter's the Miss. No sort
of weather seems to make any differ
ence to them. and they frequently carry
off the prize. On fine days they wear
blue serge frocks and yachting coats and
man-of-war's cap, but "when the
breezes blow" one sees them in stout
pea jacket and tight fitting racing cap.
Both ladies are good looking, with slight,
graceful fgures.-London, Cor. Philadel-

Mrs. Villari.

Mrs. Villai, the, we'll known novelist
and translator, is an English woman,
married to the well known historian and
senator, Professor Pasquale Villari, who
is at the head of the Florentine uni
versity. Helen Zimmerman, writing Of
the literary lights of Florence, Italy,
says: "Mrs. Villari's maiden name was
White. Her father was for some time
secretary to Gladstone and leading
Liberal. She hersels may be called the
leader of Florentira English society.
She mustwork very hard, for she pro-
duces many original books, besides the
translation of her husbands great his
tories, but she always seems as if she
had no other occupation than to be kind
and charming to all her friends who live
in Florence, and to make the time pass
pleasantly for those who come from
abroad.
"Her first husband was also an Italian,
and her Italian sympathies are naturally
deep and warm. Her sweet and gracious
ways do much to bind England and
Italy in one golden chain, as the inscrip-
ton over the Casa Guidi says of Mrs.
Browning. She understands the Italian
character thoroughly, as her novels
prove, and she is no less conversant with
American national traits and peculiar
tiles. If such minds were less rare there
would be less of that estrangement so
common between nations and between
individuals which comes of mutual ig-
norance. Current Literature.

THE Pc-TicoAT MUST GO.
Fashionable MOiistes Refuse to Fit q
Dress Over a Muslin Skirt.


Dress Over Muslin Skirt.
The newest thing in petticoats is no
petticoat at all. This assertion may tax
credulity, but it is fact, a fashionable
fact perhaps, but nevertheless fact. It
is hard to believe that woman would
ever outlive her love for the fine cam
brio skirts with their cluster tucks, open
insertions and Swiss embroidered rufles,
but she has, and more than that, she
scorns the lace edged French skirt, and
would not give thirty cents for the finest
convent made flannel skirt in stock. At
first it seemed positively shocking to lay
aside that most feminine and really
beautiful garment. but the fashionable
modiste began the crusade, declared that
she could not fit the dress nicely over
the gathered cotton underwear, and or
dered it off. The tyrant was obeyed,
but not Surprised; for did she not elimi-
nate the narrow skirted, round Shout
dered chemise and the lozenge shaped
corset cover?
It is no betrayal of confidence to say
that this onslaught of underwear had its
origin on the stage. No society actress
or artistic goes through part in the reg
ulation underwear for the reason that
her freedom would be restricted. She
could not get around in ruffied dimity,
nor deport herself with any sort of grace
in starched cambria. The dressmaker
who fits stage dress over stays, stock
ings and tights very soon learns how su-
perior the result is compared to the gown
made over gathers, strings, bands or
yokes. One is perfectly smooth, the
other cannot be kept from wrinkling.
1t has come to point now when the
modiste will refuse to fit skirt over
petticoat, and that ends all argument.
She does not presume to say that madame
shall not wear what she likes, but 81
will not try to fit you unless you dress
as l dictate When the costume is fin
ished you may do with it what you
please"
Skirts hang better and bodices fit
nicer the less there is under them, and
in warm weather. when the dress is
made over lining, there is really no
necessity for understands. With the
tailor made suit, silk lined, there is suf-
ficient warmth for cool weather, and a
long ulster as finish will suffice for cold
days. This new arrangement is an adj
vance in the right direction. Women
need fewer clothes for housewear and
more wraps or outer garments for the
street.
This desire for smoothly fitting skirts
and creaseless basques means rebellion
against the baggy divided skirts, which
will never be adopted by women who
follow the styles.-New York World.

Got the Worth of Her Money.

A well known lawyer of Minneapolis,
who has been at Neche, N. D.. on legal
business, caused the arrest of a certain
lady. After the trial the lady met the
lawyer on the street. She struck him
with the open hands first on the right
side of the cheek, then on the left. Then
she took him by the collar of his coat
and used her shoe freely beneath his coat
tail. The lawyer caused her arrest. She
paid s. and costs, but went out of the
court room a happy woman.-Minneapo-

Are We to Have Seed Wheat

Editors Western Kansas World.
Some of our farmers are laboring IN

refuses to assist except so far as the trans.
portation is concerned. Secretary Mob.
Ter, of the State Board of Agriculture, in.

men and bankers, whose interests are
identical with the farmers, should assist
in this matter. This year has been a bad
one for Trego county and there is no
question but what some Of our farmers
will be unable to get their seed wheat
without help.

well advertised and we may as well have
