are wearing their dresses made In
ono piece, with the admirable union
undergarments, and In many
cases the divided skirts, which,
besides clothing the limbs more per-
fectly than they have ever been
clothed, is largely due to the efforts
of Mira. Annie Jenness-Miller, the
author Of the we'll known Jenness-
Miller system.
The new style Of dress Is invari.
ably made on the gown form, which
Is u princess lining or foundation on
which the dress Is drnped. In gem
eral appearance these gowns are not
unlike others, for the reason that
the fact of their being made all In
one piece Is always cleverly dis
gulsed. In many cases their APP
peArance Is even more elegant than
that of conventional gowns, and In
every case the style Is extremely
healthful.
Those who wear them never suffer
from that burdensome oppression
with which all women who dress
fashionably are so we'll acquainted.

DRESS REFORM.
A Growing Tendency in Its Favor,
New York World

New YORK World.
A growing tendency toward hy-
gienic reform in dress Is seen every
where, many of its attacks being
against the most conventional
modes.
In the first place, tight-lacing is
considered very bad form, the fad
which had wasp-like waists for It's
ultimatum having been relegated to
the past. AT the present time no
figure is 30 vulgar as that of the
woman whose waist is shaped like
the wrist of kid glove, and whose
hips are given undue and immodest
prominence.
The reign of the hustle also be-
longs to the things that were, as no
fashionnbly dressed woman appears
In these modern times with so much
as the suggestion of q pannier in her
draperies. In fact, the draperies
themselves have given way largely
to straight effects, which are GER
tainly much more pleasing to tho
eye, and infinitely better from hy-
gienic standpoint. The decline of
the hustle is In itself a radical re-
form, as 1t was one of the most uu-
healthful articles of dress ever worn.
Yet for years the tenacious grasp 1t
held upon women bade fair to make
1t immortal.
The high heels which were once
considered 30 stylish and effective
have now become extremely pnsse,
English shoes, well made, with
broad heels and soles thick enough
to protect the feet, being considered
the very best form. The best
dressed women In the land wear
union undergarments. The old
fashioned chemise and drawers have
given way to the single chemilette,
which covers the body from neck to
ankles, furnishing perfect protection
to all the organs without burdening
the figure in the least. Then. too,
many OF the fashionably dressed
women have discarded the numer-
GUS petticoats which were once con.
sldered necessary to stylish ap-
pearance.
The fact that great many ladies

Very many of the new cloth costumes

AN EAR FOR MELODY,
The Eject of Music Upon a Cat


Cats do have an ear for music,
says Harper's Young People. A
clergyman in the south of Ireland,
queer but keen observer of animal
nature, some time ago described the
odd effects OF music on cat in a
friends house. His host, In course
of a chat, told him that Kitty was
exceptionally cross and upset If a
certain air from an opera (the
"Miserere" from the "Trovatorer) J
was played on the piano-forte, and
that she would not even allow 1t to
be whistled in her hearing. The
clergyman could scarcely believe
this. Pussy was lying on the rug
with n young family about her.
Her master at once began whistling
first one air, then another. The cal
paid no attention to them. sud
denly he whistled the tune In
Verdi's opera. immediately the
cat stopped playing; her ears prick ed
up, her tail waved angrily.
AS the continued to whistle she
ran from her family to his side, and
at last, IA he described 1t, began
climbing up, with sharp and pite-
GUS new, looked into his face,
rubbed her head against his shoul.
der, and at last put her paw di-
rectly against his lips.
The clerg jman asked If II was not
a trick that the cat had been taught.
But his host told him no, pussy had
started her conduct herself One
day he had been gazing out of the
window and whistling that air. He
was not thinking of the cat until
suddenly she came up to him with
news and curious squeaks, and
presently from his shoulder she laid
her little foot on his mouth.
The whistler made different tests
OF the matter and soon satisfied
himself that 1t was that tune and no
other that Interested his pet. She
came to him from any part of the
house IL he whistled or played it;
and one gentleman put her in such
passion by 1t that she nearly
scratched one Of his eyes out and be-

From street and square, from hill and

The patient armies of the poor.
The halo of the city's lamps

The masters of the world are there.

But waking early toiling late,
The heirs of all the earth remain.
Some day, by laws as fixed and fair,
AS guide the planets in their sweep,
The children of each outcast heir
The harvest fruits of time shalt reap.
The peasant brain shall yet be wife,
The untamed pulse grow calm and

The blind shall sec, the lowly rise
And work in peace Times wondrous

This news will o'er the world be

How Women Use Perfumes Just

How Women Use Perfumes Just
Now.
Women who abominate a personal
Use of perfumes have invented a
brand new way Of suggesting sweet
and fiowery odors, says the New
York sun. These aristocrats protest
that immaculate cleanliness, sun
shine and fresh air supply the only
fragrance u thoroughbred should
care to carry about with her; and in
proof Of their good faith they all
affect superfine but scentless soaps,
salves and lotions with pure starch
powders at the toilet. In genuine
English fashion they insist that
every garment before 1t Is worn
must be exposed to u prolonged sun
bath.
No more violet sacheted laces,
cologne-dricd hair, with breaths of
white rose and jasmine to stir the
senses as my lady goes by. All
those little tricks have been rcle-
gated to another class. Still not
withstan ding her vigorous denuncia-
ton, the feminine soul cleaves to
goodly perfumes. She could not
put them altogether from her, and
ns q sort Of compromise has trans
ferred tho formerly cherished lux
ury from herself to her surround
ings. This new prejudice does not
extend to her apartments, and these

full suggestions of howery meads,
rain washed woodlands, clean-smell-
ing herbs and exotic blossoms, rich
and heady. Indeed, the odor aud
not the color Is now used to distin-
guish different chambers. The
rose room signifies that charming
nest, hung very possibly in warm
pink tints, where every inspiration
fills the lungs with an ecstasy OF
subtle sweetness.
Not only does this converse of
blended fragrance rise from wide
mouthed jars guarding the deep
hearth, but liberal handfuls of the
spicy petals have been strewn be-
meath the divan rug, and inslnuated
into abductive silk pillows heaped
iuto the dusky corner. 1t tpermcates
Gun ningly worked head rests, orna-
mental pouches decorating low en-
broidery chairs; 1t Is recognized in
the very wax melting in tall taper
stands, and again, like rare incense,
burns in silver, oil-fed lamps.
Roses of every name and color-red
and white. costly long.stemmed
beauties and simple hedge--have
alike perlshed in sacrifice to a fastid-
ious taste. Lavender varied with
orris root and verte verre lend an
indescribable charm to fresh chintz
furnished morning rooms, making
them eloquent of springtime and
outdoor loveliness.

Friend. though thy soul may burn thee,

Thoughts we're not meant for strife,
nor tongues for swords,
He that sees clear is gentlest of his
words,
And that's not truth that hath the heart
TO kill,
The whole worlds thought shall not
one truth fulfill.
Dull in our age, and passionate in
youth;
No mind of man hath found ths per-
feet truth;
Nor shalt thou lind it; therefore, friend,
be still,
Watch and be still, nor hearken to the
fool,
The babbler of consistency and rule;
Wisest is he who never quite secure,
Changes his thoughts for better day
by day;
Tomorrow some new light will shine,

And thou shalt see thy thought
