TIE ETE DRESS.
Decent People Never Dressed So Indecent
ly as They Do To-Day.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps says in the
August forum:
1t is fact, gloss it anyhow as we may,
that decent women have never dressed SO
lndecently as In our country and our cen
fury as they do in fashionable life to-day.
Would that some enterprising journal
might take the moral census of this sub
ject as a substitute for prize baby compe-
titions or guesses on Nelly Bly,. We
should like to throw down the gauntlet to
the women of America. Defend these
immoralties! Speak up for us yourselves
if you cam" | do not believe that two
reputable women in the land would dare
publicly to defend the styles of undress
which now disgrace our sex. The time
has more than come for such a protest
against this abomination as will smite
women to the dust for shame What is to
be said? Enter any fashionable drawing
room and look for yourselves. What is
said? Think of it, you high-born ladies'
think of it.

no fast-and-loose views of duty. The

CLOUDS CLEARING AWAY.
Republican Lutherans Are Gradually
Coming Around Into Line
With Their Party.

Information from Milwaukee is to the
effect that it may be predicted with reas
enable degree of safety that before the
fall election the Lutheran republicans Of
Wisconsin will again be in perfect &C.
cord with their party, its policy and candi.
dates.
The friends of the Bennett law and the
representat4y Lutherans are rapidly com,
ing together, and the platform that the
republican state convention will adopt
while UNFOLDING all the vital principles OF
the Bennett law, is quite certain to satisfy
all but the most radical Lutherans.
The basis of the settlement will be a
declaration IN the platform that the re-
publicans in Wisconsin have not the
slightest wish for state interference in the
management or curriculum of parochiaI
schools. The platform. however, will
strongly favor compulsory education, In
struction in English, the prohibition Of
child labor, and the correction of incor
rigibla pupils. These are considered the
essential principles of the Bennett law,
and the state convention will stand up for
them. No surrender of any of these
principles will be made Gov. Hoard and
the supporters of the Bennett law have
maintained right along that there is no
intention On the part of the state to inter
fere with parochial schools, so that the
convention, when it declares against state
control of parochial schools, will not be
taking step that the friends of the law
will regret. The idea of compelling the
instruction of children in English is the
one that Gov. Hoard has held from the
start duty Of the parent or guardian
to have the child taught English for a
certain period every year, no matter what
school the child may attend during the
rest of the year.
The republican leaders are now united
on the Bennett law question. At a recent
conference between Senator Spooner, Gov.
Hoard, Horace Rublee Henry G. Payne,
Paul Bechtner, and Gen. Burchard, the
matter was discussed very thoroughly, and
the platform outlined above is what they
unanimously agreed upon. On the other
hand the Lutherans favor compulsory edu-
cation, the prohibition of child labor and
the teaching of English. Anything look
ing like state interference with parochial
schools is what has aroused the opposition
of the Lutherans, and it is expected that a
disavowal of any such intention. in plat,
form containing principles which they
themselves have already promulgated, will
bring them back into the republican fold
Much of the Misunderstanding which pre-,
cipitated the Bennett law agitation has
already died away, and many of the
friends and opponents Of the measure
realize that their differences have not
been we'll founded.

Dainty Summer Rooms.
