years ago leaving manufacturing busi-

Mrs. Abner Taylor, the wife of the
millionaire Chicago congressman, has
initiated startling unique fad, perhaps
the most unique ever inaugurated by a
Washington society lady.
1t has been customary for long time
here in Washington for ladies to secure
the autographs of senators, representa-
tives and high public dignitaries in
albums. Mrs Taylor's ambition has
outgrown the album stage. There is
now passing through the house of repre-
sentatives one of Mrs. Taylors under
garments, which is known to the female
sex as a skirt. A neat little note from
Mrs. Taylor is appended, addressed to
the representatives of the people in gen.
eral, requesting each one of them to
write his autograph upon the garment.
She explains in the note that it is her
purpose to embroider the names in silk,
with view to possessing when the or
nament is completed an autograph skirt
OF the present congress.
The passage of this linen affair from
desk to desk through the house has Gre
ated no end of amusement among the
congressman, and many of the more
modest of the peoples representatives
are anxiously inquiring where this auto
graph fad of the ladies is going to stop.
When the garment reaches the senate
that august body will probably ex-
perience shock from which it will take
some time for it to recover.-Cor. Phila.

green lanes of Wied. During my walks
l often think of how your mother and
used to walk together in years gone by,
dreaming fair dreams of the future and
talking about the beautiful, romantic
Germany of former times, so different
from the Germany of today.
"Alas! your mother is dead. am
still here, ill and bereft of all illusions,
although the doctors seem very hopeful
about me. Life is indeed very short,
and the apostles words, Here we have
no abiding city, are very true."-Pall
Mall Gazette.
