Female Attire and the Nude.


In the drawing room fashions of dress
at this day is the apotheosis OF the
handsome, immodest, luxurious cat
woman nowadays is now emphatically
one of nakedness. Her sleeveless bodice,
but half way to her waist, betrays much
and suggests more. Her large
white arms, uncovered shoulders
crossed with an airy line, her
bust displayed to the last inch
permitted by the law which protects
morality and forbids obscenity, her back
barred in wedge-shaped track to her
band, the color OF her gown scarce dis
tinguishable from her skin and the "fit"
one which molds the figure and makes
no pretense at disguise-in this indecent
nudity she offers herself to public ad-
miration; and the bold looks of the
men are the caresses which make her
purr with pride and pleasure.
Her dress is her note of invitation,
and if but few honestly confess no one
is deceived. The modern dressmaker is
the janitOr of the divorce court, for
when women abandon modetsy chastity
soon follows suit; and the dress which
shocks the unaccustomed as foul word
might shock them, and which inten-
tionally appeals to the coarser passions
of men, is unquestionally responsible
for much OF the conjugal infidelity and
unmarried improperly that takes place.
Let husbands and fathers look to it if
women themselves are too weak to forbid
or too luxurious to refrain.-[ London

THE HONORABLE JAMES DAMRON
ACQUITTED BY A JURY.
Hardesty Disappointed in the Testimony
of Rebuttal Witness-Damron Ac-
cuses the Press of Hounding Him-Not
Guilty is the Verdict.

The Damron case was resumed yestef-
day morning. A couple of witnesses
were introduced by the prosecution to
rebut the testimony introduced on We'd
nesday by the defendant, which tended
to show that he was as immaculate as
an angel from heaven. To the surprise
of Mr.. Hardesty, one of his "rebutters"
went back on him and gave Damron
good character instead of black eye,
as he had fondly believed. 1t being
then time to address the jury, counsel
agreed that only six hours in all were to
be consumed in arguments by both
sides. All instructions offered by the
defense were allowed by the court, and
the whole of the instructions read by
Judge Cheney to the jury are said to
exceed in length those of any other
trial in this county. Mr.. Damron ad-
dressed the jury in his own behalf, dur
ing which he took occasion to "roast"
the Los Angeles press. When Mr.. Dam
ron is vituperative he is at his best, and
he did himself proud Yesterday while
singing his billingsgate at the papers
who have faithfully reported the vagaries
which led to the publicity that the ex-
honorable member OF the legislature 30
much complains of now. The jury re-
tired at 5 80, but soon clamored for din
