WHAT HAS BECOME OF HER PETIT
COATS?

What are Our women coming to in the
great change that is being adopted by
them in the fashioning and cut of their
clothes. For one we must confess that we
just stand and hold our breath when any
of them now delesarte by us on the street.
The most primitive Greek costumes could
not show the outlines of woman as do
these marvelously cut and gored glove
fitting costumes which show every curve
and line, limb and play of muscle What
has become of the petticoat and all their
dainty drapery2 Can there be anything
left inside this fashionable cut save the
woman herself? For one we don't believe
there can be. Will all the women, big
and little. fat and slim, look well, appear
attractive in this clinging dress that
knows no underskirts, no anything, save
the human form divine? We guess they will.
We only regret that the fashion finds US
SO old Heavens what fellow misses by
being born too soon. And the extreme of
the latest cut and gore has not appeared in
the west yet, which fashion leaders of
Europe and America are studying over.
But in whatever a pretty woman looks
pretty in, that fashion will adopt. The
innovation is to make those inclined to
stoutness to appear an unrivaled sculp-
tured slimness The fact alone assures its
popularity in Wichita, where water and
climate and home environment all conspire
to make the majority of women as stout
as they are sweet.

JOHN NAU'S CASE.

1t is conceit of legal lore, SO it is said,
that person once adjudged insane so re-
mains. until declared sane by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The rule is an
old one and is not often applied. Its ap-
plication in this country is very infre-
quent, but the case of John Nau in the
probate court yesterday was one which
came under that head
Everybody knows John Nau. He is an old
timer here. At one time carrying the nod
still later running a boarding house in an
obscure part Of town, later still carrying
on business on Douglas avenue, he became
familiar figure to the way-faring many
and to our business men generally. He Is
familiar figure still. OF late John Nau
has been playing to hard luck, to use
familiar term. About two or three
months since John had bad spell of sick
ness, and upon his partial recovery 1t was
discovered that his mind was disordered.
He showed every sign of insanity, wander
ing aimlessly about the streets. Soon after
an inquest Of insanity was held in the pro-
bate court and jury before Judge Buck
ner declared him insane. Yesterday he
was called into the probate court when
after careful examination by competent
physicians, he was declared sane by Judge
Buckner. He has been improving for a
long time and the official dispatched to
bring him to town found him Industrious
ly at work making garden.

WICHITA'S PROSPERITY AND sUPRE-
MACY.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Desire and expectation anchored to a
possibility may encourage such an effort
as will lead forlorn hope on to victory
But Wichita has passed the period where
there is need to base our faith in her
future on possibilities; these are facts,
within and about to sustain a reasonable
assurance in the future prosperity of this
city, and its supremacy as the commercial
center, the metropolis, of south and west
ern Kansas, and the territories lying south
of us. individuals may have cause
to feel discouraged in view of their own
disappointment and adversely. and while
this is a fact to be deplored in it there
is no just occasion to feel discour-
aged in reference to the progress and
prosperity of Wichita, and it will not
much longer initiate to the disadvantage
of this city.
The misrepresentation in, or encouraged
by other cities of Kansas, is a matter of
encouragement to us, evidencing on the
part of such cities a disappointed hope
based on an unreasonable expectation,
and that they have now an underlying
conviction that they are no longer compel
itors with Wichita in the race for position
and that Wlchltas supremacy Is now as
sured. 1t would be wise and polite for
all such cities to join hands with Wichita
and work harmo niously for the good of
each and all. 1t is time to
recognize the futility of any
jealous, i'll willed filings at Wichita
| state a fact which the experience of
others corroborates; in showing strangers
who have never been here. or those who
have not been here for years, about the
city. They universally express themselves
as surprised TO find everything here so far
exceeding their expectations, and they
leave the city with favorable impressions,
based an knowledge of facts, and con-
fident that it is only question of time till
prosperity will once more abound in Kan
sas and in that prosperity Wichita will
lead all other Kansas cities. There is
nothing in reference 70 our condition
which any citizen Of Wichita need en-
deayor to conceal. 1t is best to tell
strangers here, and those to whom we
write, the truth about the past wild spec
ulation and its effects. In the truth we
have nothing TO fear, for the truth testi-
fies in our favor. u. S. NJ

PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

| To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Easter sunday was observed by this
| church with the usual solemn and beauti-
full service the occasion inspires In the
morning Rev. S. T. Millikan discoursed on
the "Oid and New Likeness of Christ. I"
His description of Christ as the Amounted
One, who is our King and Priest, was very
forcible presentation. He also described
the personal likeness of Christ as painted
by writers contemporaneous with the dis
ciples. This was Rev. Millikan's last SER
mon as pastor of this church and he ''goes
hence" with the good will and love of this
people with whom he has long and earnest
ly labored and formed many endearing and
sacred ties. The exercises of the evening
were by the Sunday school, consisting of
Easter carols, songs and recitations. How
beautiful and impressive is the commend
ration of Christ's resurrection by
little children. This Man" who
"spake as never man spake"-
who broke the seals of the sepulchre and
walked forth in triumph over death.
This one, great in power-yet, so meek
and lovely in spirit. said: Suffer little
children to come unto Me, for such is the
day in solemn festival, in the fullness of
the moon, with our temples of worship
ablaze with lights, our affairs adorned with
lilies. hyacinths and sweet scented plants,
words of song and alteration floating on the
diapason of the organ notes. is inspiring
and soothing beyond expression.
There is no festival occasion in the cal
endar Of time more impressive than this
Easter festival occasion. The infidel may
manipulate the history and record, and
confuse the mind in doubts, but before the
subtle magic power of this instruction
mystery he stands confounded, isolated,
and alone. AS the child arising from sick
ness and suffering, unites in unbroken
sympathy, and trust the hearts of its
father and mother, so this Christ arising
from the tomb, with the emblem of his
suffering, unites the world to God, and all
of us are better for having bowed our
shrine of this Resurrection Day" b.
