BEAUTY IN uNpREss.
How Low-Neck Dresses Came Into
Faahion.

In the Garden OF Eden clrcum-
stances were such that q lack OF
bodices in Ewes wardrobe caused no
comment. Her daughters to this
day have shown an inclination more
or less strong, from century to CEN
tury, to follow the fashion set by
her. The Roman church has threat
ened excommunication in vain in an
age when accommodation meant
much more than it does now queens
and princesses have endeavored to
abolish low necks wits have turned
them into ridicule; and men of
science have predicted, with grave
faces, the evils which must result
from the fashion. The moralists
from the time of Tartuffe and ear
lier have been unanimous in con-
demning them. And they are worn
yet. Nay, they are even, like the
swallow tailed coat, indispensable
at times of festivity. It is curious
(says the Albany Free Press) to
observe that, as far back as the rec
ord goes, there was at first no objec-
ton to bare necks; it was bare arms
which shocked the moral sense of
the community. The interval be-
tween the reign Of Henry the Eighth
and that of George the Third was
hardly long enough to reconcile
peoples minds to the abolition of
sleeves. The Puritans are largely
to blame for the practice. While
they controlled England they would
not allow low necks and short
sleeves to be mentioned, much less
worn, so that, at the RestoratioH,
every woman who knew that she had
a fine neck and well-rounded arms
and every woman who had them
knew twas dying with impatience
to let the fact be known by the world.
So much for unnecessary prudery.
Concerning the healthfulness ofthe
fashion, everybody should judge for
herself; it doubtless is injurious to
health in some instances, just as
smoking harms one man and not
another. Society will grant permis-
sion to invalids to wear sealskins
about their necks if their health re-
quires it, and the invalids should
have the courage to wear the seal
skins when necessary. It appears
from statistics not yet made public,
that, while the low-neck may only
occasionally be directly answerable
for the taking off of some delictae
bud, or weak-chested belle, it is more
fatal to men than either war, pestil-
ence, or strong drink-that is, to
men who habitually come under its
influence. The reason for this lies
in the fact, that, in order to keep the
wearer of low necks warm enough,
rooms must be made so hot that the
constitutions of the men are insen-
sibly undermined, and at the first
they succumb, victims of
the low-necked dress.

AN unknown exchange pays this
tribute to winter: "It SHOWS and
blows and stings your nOse-makes
all creation shiver! It bites your
toes, increases your woes. and free
1es up the river. The frost nips all,
both great and small, this dark and
dreary winter; it freezes type, it
breaks the pipe, and vexes sore the
printer. So let her roll-we mean
the ooal-it takes the cash in win
ter; now please be kind and make
up your mind-to settle with the
printer"

Gambling in Montana.

The freedom with which gaming
is carried on in this State has led
the Eastern press to indulge all
sorts of fantastical innovations o1
the imagination respecting the card
table in this quarter of the "fal
West" The Journals attention has
been called to many very woolly
tales, but the following "rakes of
the pastry" 1t appeared in the
Minneapolis Tribune, being report
ed as fact:
Yesterday a little group of poker
fends were discussing with some
gusto the various phases Of the
great national game. Talking of
poker games," chimed in smooth
travelling man, smiling with some
good humor upon the group Of
common men about him, "they
play good stiff game out in Mon
tana. In Butte men lost their $1O,-
600 or SIS, 900 every night and they
plank down their good money and
think nothing aboutit either. Why,
at the Silver Bow Club when the big
ones get together they take down
the roof and skylights and play a
game of draw that gives man cold
feet. There's DAILY and Clark, and
Hogan and Hauser, all fthem three
or four milliOniares, and their game
is something very stiff. I had a
friend out there who thought he
would like to join in the big ones
game. Nice fellow, too; clean,
bright; no flies about him at all in
fact, but didn't know any better,
you know" "Could he come IMP"
"Oh, yes, if he wanted to-" said
Mr.. Hogan, a little bored, as there
was $1,000 on the table and he had
but a full house, kings high, and
only deuces back of them. So after
the hand was played the travelling
man laid off his coat; good stock,
too, fur lined and beaver collarettes
got it in Chicago, bargain, too; only
$85; a little shop worn. Then he
laid aside his silk tile and was ready
for the game.
"Give me hundred dollars worth
of chips" said he, slapping a crisp
500 bill upon the table.
DAILY was running the bank. He
sized up the bill and looked sur
prised, then looked across at Clark.
Clark glanced at Hogan and Hogan
took side peep at Hauser. swell,
what's the matter, gentelmen," said
my friend, the tourist, with a bland
smile, "ain't / in the gamer"
There was a silent moment. "He
wants to know ifhe is in the game"
at length said Daily, turning help
lessly to Hauser, who sat on his
right.
"In the game.' repeated the great
king, "why, of course, he's
in the game. DAILY, give the gentle
man a white chip"
After that you could not have
kept that travelling man in the house
with lasso. In fact, he left the
town that night on the East bound
freight, but he did not join the game.

ruption by American and English
sailors of the Spanish name Diego,
which is equivalent to James. The
word originated in Louisiana, where
it was applied to any one born of
Spanish parents. and was used as q
proper name, but now it is applied
generally to Spaniards, Portuguese
and Italians, in this portion of the
country chiefly to the latter. San
Diego is the patron saint of the
Spaniards.

riage door and asked him to get the
muff, dry it, and bring it to her
room. Her cheeks were fiery red
and her eyes flashed as she turned
to the other woman and said: "You
are too old to be child I" It was
squelcher for the woman who threw
away the muff and she didn't say
word. Mary looked tragical enough
when she roasted her friend, and no
one ever saw her on the stage look
as she did at that time"
