one OF the Numerous Good Effects of
short skirts.
One good effect of short skirts, if ever
generally adopted, will be to force
women to learn how to walk well. At
present they shuttle, mincc. turn in one
foot, do everything but walk. Nothing
commands more respect than dignity of
carriage, always excepting elegance and
dignity of speech and when my sex dis
covers that feet have Il higher mission
than 20 be crowded into boots and shoes
too small for them, and that corns are
an offcnsc against nature, the reign of
noble bearing may set in.
Its the rarcst thing in the world to
find foot with straight toes among
womcn." say chiropodists. They lap
and overlap and frequently are doubled
under. As for bunions, well, they are
the rule" No woman with a distorted
foot can walk naturally, and it stands
to reason that such torturing of the eX-
trcmitics must conducc to physical all
mcnts of various kinds. So, turn it
which way we will, tight boots are an
abomination. Let the apostle of the
mudlcss gown but introduce fetching
covering for the feet and prove herself
mistress of the art of walking, and she
will go a long way toward breaking
down those most formidable barriers,
tradition and prejudice. Fields

All corners are troublesome because

that is at once artistic, appropriate and
useful; but the corners of sleeping
rooms present special difficulties.
There is Il little furniture that is either
necessary or best in bedroom. And
when one of the few necessary pieces
can be made to fill corner, the happi-
est effect is produced.
a little while ago Il young architect,
who had Il room without closets, had to
have wardrobe put into his room to
shelter his wardrobe. Now wardrobe
was to his artistic soul, as it is to many
others, thing abhorrcnt. and he plead

DO You Chew Your Pudding?

Our little Edith is five years old. She
has golden cnrls and those far-gazing
hazel eyes that seem sometimes to see
visions. The other day ut dinner her
face was lighted with unusual beauty,
and her dark eyes had a dreamy look
which called TO her fond mothers mind
the line: "lIcavcn lies about us in our
infancy" She longcd to know what
thoughts were in the childish brain to
so soften and deepen the dark eyes,
when Edith turned her sweet face and
asked: Mamma, do You chew your pud-
ding?'-Widc Awake.

l had the pleasure Of receiving Mr.. L.
D. Lewelling and his family into the
membership of the Fourth Congrega-
tIonal church of Wichita when | was
pastor there. The church was one OF
the newest and weakest in the city, and
nothing but the highest and most un-
selfish motives could have led him to
Join US. Since then ! have become quite
intimate with him and know much of his
inner life and the motives that inspire
him.
He was born and raised Quaker, and
has in him still strong vein of the re-
llgious fervor of that church. He is
never so interested or 30 eloquent as
when dwelling upon the religious phase
of the coming reforms, in which he be-
lieves the Holy Spirit Is leading the
minds Of men. Indeed he would have
entered the ministry long ago had 1t not
been for some theological dogmas which
ne could not accept He is a deep stu
dent Of history and of present economic
questions. A real, practical "fsther.

the foundation Of his plans for all re-
forms. He is as far removed as posi-
ble from the rantSnkeroup, demagogiC
reIormer, whose strongest motives are
excitement aud notoriety.S
One proof of the purity of his politics
Ia the fact that he made absolutely no ef
fort whatever for the nomination, ant
did not even know that his name woult

As to his position on the great ques

personal character Of one who is appeal

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

1t has been months since | attempted
TO say anything through the columns of
the LIGHT concerning our delightful
suburb, and as the LIsBT has always been
of West End, the people of West End are
friends of the LIGHT, aud through its
columns we get more local news than
from any other source.
The buildings of West End. now being
erected, by their elegant structure, add
much to the appearance of things.
The Ellison Bros, have charge OF the
pavilion and boats on the lake. They
keep them in nice order. and are ready to
accommodate those who wish to have a
good time in cool place.
The ladies of San Antonio intend giving
a dance and promenade concert at West
End on Tuesday, May 3lSt. The use of
the pavilion has been kindly donated by
West End Town Co, also the boats for a
row on their lovely lake and the electric
cars to convey their guests. The object
of the entertainment is to procure suit
able uniforms for the Belknap Rifles, to
attend the Omaha drill which
takes place early in June, and
for this purpose they require
one thousand dollars. all of which has
been raised except three hundred and
twenty five dollars, which they hope to
| make by this dance at the pavilion. The
tickets are IS cents which includes car
fare. and they have been placed on sale at
many place, in town and can be had az
the end of West End street car track, at
fruit stand on corner of Houston and
Acequia street. These ladies have labor
ed assiduously to fix the boys off and we
wish for their success.
Our water works system Is doing nicely
and as soon as the president is well
enough. to get out TO superintend his
affairs he probably will extend his mains.

with .uneasiness, but now we feel that he

The hickman Flag.

Saturday night an entertai ment, given
by the girl friends OF the Belknaps, for
the purpose of raising money to buy a
new flag for the company, was given at
the beautiful home of Mrs. Mcfarland in
Slocum park, and 40 were taken in.
This. along with about $40 subscribed by
a fine flag, which by a large majority was
voted a Texas flag.
A large platform had been built in the
yard on which the many young people
danced away the hours to the music Of
d. A. Lovece'S string band.
The grounds were decorated with
japanese lanterns and gaily colOred tents
under which refreshments were served
and young people promenaded.
The affair broke up at II o'clock mid
night, and the guests left for their homes,
all well pleased with their evenings en-
tertainment.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Dedicated. to the Boys in Blue of San
Antonio, Texas
Out in the shadow land,
/ see Phatom band,
That is slowly marching on.
Their banners all unfurled,
Out in that spirit world,
Their earth work done.
They fought in ''sixty-one,"
From rise till set of sun,
Their victories won.
On Shiloh'S bloody field
The stubborn foe did yield,
When Grant led on.
In many a prison pen,
Did die our gallant men,
Longing for home.
No more in tattered clothes,
snail the festive grayback pose,
Adown their gaunt backb bone.
In memory here today, :.
We thus our tribute lay,
Or fragrant flowers.
Well ne'er forget the brave,
who died our flag to save,
Fond memories here.
The vets that's left are going fast.
And few be left of that long past.
Who fought so well.
So we shallcome each sunny Nav,
Tokeep our sad Memorial day,
For loved ones flown.

is his partner, but this he firmly refused,
telling them to find him." which as yet
