why Does Woman Seek Improvem ent?


1t is difficult question to decide
whether women seek to improve them
selves for the sake of the effect it may
have on men, or simply for their own
pleasure, More particularly do you
find this q poser when you learn for
the first time that there are upward of
twenty of the best known bellies of
New York who are taking lessons in
skirt dancing. This statement sounds
Incredible. but it is a fact. Exactly
what use proficiency in skirt dancing e
can be to young lady, to young
bride, or to young mother, is difficult
to discover. Also how the development of
oirls kicking power will find for her
greater favor in the eyes of her serious
admirers. AT dinner given this week
there were four of these energetic
young beauties present, one of whom
stoutly defended the idea. She said
its object was simply to make them
supple and graceful.
why not calisthenics interrupted
man.
Because we do not want muscle; we
want grace of carriage and movement. :"
AS matter of fact, however, this is
one thing that an American woman
need not cultivate. She is born with it.

principles of that party with all his

was educated at the home of his ances-

same school at Kent's Hill in
which his father prepared him
self for college. Graduating there
in 1871 he Immediately joined his father
in Paris, where he witnessed many of
the stirring scenes which preceded the
formation Of the French republic. He
then entered the celebrated University
of Bonn, in Germany. Here he stud
led two years, and then returned to
America to finish his education at the
University Of Wisconsin at Madison.
He graduated in 1874 and went to Chi
cago, being the first of his family to
select that city as his home. Entering
the Union College of Law and being
duly admitted to the bar, he began the
practice of his profession there, anC was
appointed master in ch&ncery by Judge
Elliot Anthony in 1876 He served in
this capacity until 1885, when lis was
elected city attorney by the Republi-

CHICAGO'S NEW MAYOR.

Hampstead Washburne a Representative
of Distinguished Servitors of the Peo-
pie.
The most holly contested Mayor
atty fight that the city of Chicago ever
experienced ended in the election Of
Hampstead Washburne, Republican.
Hampstead Washburne comes of
distinguished family, whose American
history begins with John Washburne.
who was the first secretary of the
Council of Plymouth. The name has
figured in many of the great events In
our national history from this pilgrim
father down. The great record of
Elihu B. Washburne, of whom the
just elected Mayor of the great city OF
Chicago is the son, is the common
property of his countrymen.
There were seven brothers of this
distinguished family, Israel, Jr., AL
gernon Sydney, Elihu b., Cadwalader
c., Samuel b., Charles f., and Will
liam D., all now dead except the last
named, who represents Minnesota in
the Senate of the United States. At
one time three of the brothers were in
Congress at the same time, Israel, Jr.,
from Maine, Cadwalader G. from Wis
consin, and Elihu b. from Illinois.
Among the Waskburnes were four
Congressman, two Governors, two
United States Ministers to foreign
governments, and two distinguished
soldiers The father of the new Mayor,
whose history is closely identified with
that of the State of Illinois, was born
in Maine in 1916. having come of o
