sfAoES' feminine vanity. Previous
to the introduction of this custom invita-
lions had been sent verbally by servants,
and it was practiced to avoid mistakes.
Playing cards were used, as the modern
card or bristolboard had not at that time
been invented
Thus the custom extended to all branches
OF society. Hogarth, in plate four OF his
Marriage la Mode" has placed in the
right hand corner several cards of this de-
scrIption, and with the trenchant humor
SO peculiarly his own, has satirized the ic-

THEIR INTERESTING HISTORY.
Curious Relic Brought Down From the Old
Days When Cards Were Used For
Visiting Purposes.

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 26.-Maj. George B.
Clitherall, who died in this city not long
ago, had in his possession the most ex-
traordinary pack of cards probably in ex-
istence, and they are no doubt the most
unique and singular relics ever handed
down from mother to son.
During the war of 1912 Maj Clitherall's
mother was stationed with her husband,
who was United States army officer, at
Fort Johnston. The officers of garrison
thus situated have often been placed at their
wits end to find amusements, and it can
easily be imagined that cards, in those
days when luxuries where brought from
England and cardboard at the best was a
rare article. were much needed The sim
gle pack OF cards at the fort was soon used
up, and it was not until the ingenuity of
Mrs. Clitherall came to the rescue that the
deficiency was rcmedied. She suggested
to one of the officers that if he would pro-
vide the cardboard she would paint the
cards. From supply he had for draughting
purposes he cut out fifty two blank cards,
and Mrs. Clitherall set about her unique
task. The illustrations which accompany
this can give but faint idea of the sin
gular beauty of these cards
During Mrs. Clitherall's former resi-
dence in England she had learned how to
paint beautifully, and she possessed that

In 3 peculiar case which came before it

part owner of eighty acres of land in
Nebraska City. The murderer assumed

when prosecuted for the murder. The
mob subsequently hanged the father, bu,
the attorney brought snit to obtain the
interest of the murdered daughter, con
yeycd to him by the father. The decis.
ion OF the Nebraska court was in line
with the decision Of the New York court
OF appeals in 1889. In this case man
poisoned his grandfather, knowing the
iasters will was IN his favor. The court
OF appeals was asked whether the muir.
dercr could have the property he had
committed murder to obtain. The court
held that the grandson was disqualified
from taking any of his victims property,
either under the will or as his heir or
next of kin if there had been no will.

Ii Was the Cat.

There is q very respectable colored
family living on Cr0Rhan street, the
senior member of which is known as
Uncle Lishe. He works week days and
breaches Sundays, and is looked up TO
as a man Of much general intelligence.
The other night about s o'clock the
policeman on that beat noticed Uncle
Lishe with his entire family-a bakers

with some interest in tie unusual pro-

But there isn't any moon, Uncle

A long, loud new was heard from the
direction of the house, and big. gray
cat ran out, scattering the family in DIFF
ferent directions, excepting the old
mans wife, Aunt Judy, who, with the
policeman, held her ground.
"Doan gimme away, mister" she said
imploringly, ''det's anoder cat a bilin'

The policeman explained, and Uncle
Lishe went back to the house grumbling
that the "chawm" was "done busted, I"
since the wrong cat was in it. and not
all the enlightenment Of the nineteenth
century will persuade him that one cat
was exactly as good as another for that
purpose.

row chests and chalky compilations are

IDEAS advanced by some observing wo-
men who met at Chautauqua last sum
mer to discuss dress reform have al

These women differed from all pre-

the beauty of the lines of the female
form should be seen. In their opinion
the fundamental principle OF woman's
dress should be beauty. Fashions De-
hests must give place to beauty OF form.
The progressive apostles OF dress reform

During the time Of the First En-
pire, women made an effort to go back
10 the classic models. Then the fash
ions were such that the waist was made
70 look wider than tue line just above
il AMI under the bosom. The bodice
was drawn together by belt or ribbon
at the breast line, and the result was
beauty. The Chautauqua idea, how
ever was good one. The first lesson
to DE learned is TO appreciate a beauti-
full form, and then each woman shall
make her own body like unto the beau
tiful form. Her eyes must be taught TO
see beauty. Let her look TO the &C.
cepted works of art for her models"
The Venus de Milo is feet high. 1t
has been estimated that, according 10
the proportions of the Venus de Milo, a
woman 5 feet inches In height should
have neck measurement OF Il & inches,
bust 36b inches, measurement immedi-
ately under the bust 81 inches, so-called
waist 30 inches, and hips ~ inches.
This would mean very small differ
ence between the waist and bust meas

tween the breasts nave Oeen IekdTueu
as marks OF beauty by most great
scnlptors and artists. This is shown in
the Venus de Milo and in the central
figure in Fates. Canova's Hebe would
probably show less contrast between the
bust and waist measure than does the
Venus de Milo.
One artist gives this as his idea Of the
proportions of a perfect female figure:
Height, 5 feet ~ inches, bust, 80
inches: waist, "a Inches; distance from
armpits to waist, inches. He adds in
a general way that she should have a
long neck and long arms.

lfeves that practicability, so called, In
woman's dress, is inartistic. "Unsex

"0f course the Venus de Milo IS an
ideal woman physically" said Mr.. Glib
son the other day, ''but I am afraid the
Venus, il dressed in modern gown
would lose much of her beauty. She Is
a combination Of the beauties OF several
women in one type. There are, how
ever, other types OF female beauty that
are perhaps equally as good. Our mod
crn waist is modern invention. The
Venus de Milo and the Venus de Medlcl
don't have it. In the days when stays
became popular waists shrunk. That Is
regulated by fashion. For instance, IN
the days of the Empire robes were
gathered Immediately under the bust In
the Grecian style, and large waists were
then the fashion. The present use OF
stays certainly tends to deform the wo-
man who wears them, although there
are many women who would look dowdy
il they did not wear them.
Not long ago l obtained handsome
evening dress that had been worn by a
lady who has used stays all her life.
The dress had been soiled and l wanted
it for model. The waist was small,
and / have one model who hardly knows
what stays are. She is en- Irish girl who
has worked all her lie. l looked at the
small waist OF tie dress that had been
made for lady whose waist had been
compressed by stays and / doubted the
possibility Of my model wearing 1t. l
gave her the dress, however, and was
surprised to find that it did fit her well
enough for my purpose. The dress did
not quite meet at the waist. The oil
ference, however, between this modePs
waist and that OF tie lady for whom the
dress had been made was slight. This
is an exceptional case, however, for
there are very few models who have
not been injured by tight stays"
Another artist in speaking OF the
Chastauqua dress reform said that wo-
men in one generation could regain the
classic types Of beauty and form. The
whole manner of modern DRESS" he
added, "presupposeS the basis OF the
corset, just as unique draperies presup-
pose its non-eXistence. Beautiful lines
and curves can be obtained without the
modern corset, as every one knows. The
modern corset, however, cannot be given
up until we can devise notifications OF
dress that will give some Of the lines OF
UNIQUE beauty. Unless the artificial
charm of waist can be equalled by its
natural charm, women who want to
dress we'll will wear corSets.
