An Era of Reform in Dress.

To be beautifully and stylishly dress
ed nowadays one must pay as much at
tention TO ones underwear and to the
gown. The fewer uDderclothes the
better, in order to get the slender ef-
feet all women long for. The silk or
wool tights, with Que silk petticoat, is
all that is necessary for warmth. How
much moro comfortable and sensible
than the many skirts women used TO
burden themselves with
We have, indeed, reached an era Of
reform in dress, and a woman has only
herself to blame If she is not comforta-
bly, dressed-always provided she
chances to spend money enough. Com
Portable and beautiful dressing is a lux
ury, and unfortunately luxuries cost
money.

Sure to Be Becoming.

A curious eighteenth century custom
has been revived by the leading Paris
coiffures, of having models made of the
heads of distinct clients, In order to
study the effects Of new styles of hair
dressing and keep the ladies posted on
the newest and most becoming fashions.
A Russian grGnde dame, for example,
sends OF considerable expense q fac
smile of her head and face, copied per-
fectly in every detail, to her hairdresser
in Paris. He experiments freely, and
when a satisfactory result is obtained
he mails photograph of it with minute
directions for arrangement, each month
to the st. Petersburg belle, and thus
ensbles her to look up to date in the
matter of couture. The initial expense
Is not small, for the wax modeller must
be in his way true artist.

But another life Of George Eliot IS under

guarded secret Of few. Its author is one
who knew George Eliot from her (the
author's) childhood, the difference in years
not preventing Q child of extraordinary
acuteness from becoming well acquainted,
after many years Of close observation, with
the real character OF George Eliot TIE

Word About Belts.

The swell girl buys belt as often as
she buys new gloves. Just now there is
fancy for very narrow belts to be worn
with silk waists and cloth dresses. Belts
of colored metal have bowknot of'sil-
yer for clasp, and belts of ribbon have
beautifully etched buckles OF gold and
silver. Tinted chamois gird!es are
clasped with silver, and occasionally
one of kind fortunes favorites has d
threelinked buckle OF diamonds fasten-
ing u belt Of velvet or MORE ribbon.
The sash belt is, too, an elegant ad-
dition to the waist of the slim woman,
but when it eneloseS circumference OF
twenty-five or more inches it loses it's
fascination. Fashion has a most in
considerable habit Of suiting her DEGREES
exclusively to slender figures, but never
has she been more fagrantly regardless
Of the requirements OF the stout woman
than in this seasons designs.

with tiny rosebuds and flushing family

The fairy-like fabric is folded about the

the white shoulders it is fringed with
tiny bon silene buds and blossoms. The

Here is a portrait of George Eliot never
before engraged. The novelist had keen
sense Of her own lack Of facial charm
She was frank in speaking Of it to her init
mate friends and she abhorred portraiture
of herself. II would be impossible for one
who appreciated beauty as she did TO lind
the least pleasure in face that so little
expressed the individual she felt hers If to
be, so far as she felt on the subject, for she
was little concerned with merely personal
matters. How she came TO sit for
this picture was always canse
of wonder to her friends. for the
style of dress Is the last that she ought to
have chosen since black and white little
bands and careless but not graceful drapery
do not add dignity or give true color. The

for which she ever sat. 1t is the private

The Validity of Bylaws Tested by Their
ReasonabIeness.
Yesterday Justice of the Peace Britain
determined case which involved the valid
ity Of bylaws made by corporation.
Annie Gaffey sued the ST. Patrick's Mu-
tual Alliance OF California for S10o to de-
fray funeral EXPENSES Of her late husband
and also for $500 benefits. The defense
was that the deceased was not In good
standing at the time of his death. Accord
ing to article Z, section OF the associatiou's
bylaws, which reads that no one is entitled
to benefits "who may be indebted to the
alliance for three months Dues" or its
equivalent in taxes. etc, 'uu til three months
after be has liQuidated said Indebtedness" p"
1t appears that at the time of his death
deceased had paid all his dues and owed
nothing to the society: but at the time of
the payment deceased was Indebted for
three months dues and died before the ex-
piratiOn of three months after said liQuida-
ton.
The court held that the provision above
referred 10. under which the defendant
claimed. was unreasonable, -vexatiOus and
invalid. AS the society was Incorporated,
the court was required to pass upon the
question of Teasonableness. In support of
this decision the court quoted Brady VS..
Coachmen's Benevolent Association "a n.
