THE WIND AND THE WOMEN.

What the clinging skirt and the Kansas
winds, supplemented by muddy street
crossings, fail of disclosing of feminine
loneliness and of their suggestive draperies
would be hardly worth mentioning. Never
were the winds so continuously persistent,
the styles SO statuesque as they have been
this fall, and never have the windows OF
our sanctum seemed so transparent.
Venus de Medici, and all the visions of
exquisite symmetry and of the virgin
graces, what delightful object lessons
Douglas avenue, Main street and the
crossings have been furnishing the eyes of
him whose artistic soul finds no higher
ideal of beauty than woman's form.
There goes the Greeks lost Zine of grace
and beauty" and what tell-tale glimpse
OF yelled angles she unconsciously
revealsi The verse that were
writ to the inspiring face of wo-
man are forgotten in the unexpected
sight Of elevated embroidery that tolls your
eyes away down to her ankles, to fad that
carriers are no longer worn either below or
above the knees, but that her stockings
are held by the clips of new-fangled
harness suspended from, heaven knows
where. But the mud has disappeared, and
the wind is up again. See her come with
her rhythmic and aggressive limbs surging
beneath the tight and scant material that
threatens to give way with every stride.
What accentuation of curve, aud SHAPED
And still the pull-back clings and pulls
the tighter. Droves, hocks and coveys Of
the wind-scUlptured glories bear down ir
living stream, whose fleck and foam is
tulle, lace and soft embroidered muslins.
Regrets for ones bald head
are vain, and desires to live
life over again, commencing with the now,
hand in hand with all these sinuousiy
suggestive pink and white sirens and con-
fessions of delightful curves and symmet-
rical limb, like the dreams of the moon
light nights when the sons of heaven came
down 20 consort with the daughters of
men are also all in vain, and
we can only keep on looking,
thankful that we were, at least. not born
blind Talk OF woman's sublimity of soul;
does any one suppose the dear creatures
are oblivious to this racket of Kansas
wind and scanty skirt. Of muddy crossings
and the play of live muscle, meath the
delicate fbered sIiken hose or doubt that
when she wants to do anything unconven-
tional that she will do it, knowing that !
men will never leave off loving and wor-
Shipping, never cease to cherish ami adore? /
