TAN SHOES AND SOCKS.
A Few Hints to Those Who Prefer
the Tan Toe Covers.

the Tan Toe Covers.
Tan shoes should be worn with socks
to match. NJ othing is more ridiculous
than to see man coming down the
street with swell pair of butchers and
blue and white WOODEN socks. says the
Chicago News. Again, tan shoe S
Should never be BACKED, except by the
grease spread so lavlshly on the street
car tracks on a curve. The grease i'm
pairs somewhat the individuality of the
tan, but preserves the leather. Never
permit a practical joker to put cherry
pits or burnt matches in tan shoes.
Kill him when he is first suspected.
The shoe man will tell you that they
should be oiled frequently. Just why
he does this is not known. Nobody
ever did it, but the shoe man is methodi-
cal III his habits and is seldom foot-loose.
The best tan shoes, according to
dealers, are very expensive, but in these
hard times the S1.9S pair are sorrel
beauties. Tan shoes should never be
worn in saloons, poOl-rooms or barber
shops. The latter place in the most
dangerous, for when a man wants to get

order Boots" to touch then up while
he is getting shaved. The shine he Is
able to give them resembles dry April
mud and can only be remedied by fire.
quent application of stove polish.
Spring bottom pants should never be
worn with them, as they have tendency
to prevent the sun from deepening their
color. They are safe thing to wear, as
the purchaser can invariably get re-
liable tip on them.

country girls and pure-mlnded wives go
In and sit down. As the shameless 'hlp
dance women began their performance
these iDnOcentS would look OH with
startled amaZement. Then they were
Mortified, and would turn crimson and
cover their faces with their hands.
Some would brave the jeering crowds
of loafers and run out. Others did not
dare, for the audience sits facing the
entrance, and they had to sit there in
their shame all through the spectacle"
Anthony Comstock said that the wom-
en- who did the hip dance" I'm one of
the three places were much mere lightly
clad than the average burlesQue artist.
Those in the other two. wore short
skirts, with shoulders and arms bare.
What will you do?' was asked.
II don't want TO do anything ii can
help it. ! want TO let the fair man
ayers do everything themselves. ba-
lieve they will. Possibly the managers
of these hide0us resorts have some pro-
lection, fur they make a great deal of
money and have to pay certain per
cent to the fair treasury. There are
some who are doing everything to make
the fair financial success, but / can't
believe that they would cOuntenance
that. If they don't abolish the wild
performances. L am willing to make a
few aifidavits. 1t is my duty. 1t is
what the Society for the Suppression
or Vice wants me- Is do. There is law
enough to shut off every soch exhibition
WHICH c0rruptS the morals and minds
Of our women and children"
Anthony Comstock has written let
ter to President HiginbOtham describ-
! ing all he saw in the Midway Plaisance.
1t supplements the interview between
the two last Wednesday.
II deem it my duty to lay aside all
other work till this browning evil Is
overtime own" said Anthony Comstock,
as he got out of his. chair and walked
down to the gate with the reporter.
The danse du ventre, or the Hip
Dance" was brought into fame by the
Mohammedan girl, La Belle Fatima, at
the Paris exposition. 1t is carried on
in the Turkish and Algerian parts of
the Midway Plaisance, the Cairo street
and other sections. Even the Orientals
admit that none but men should wit
ness 1t, and express much surprise that
theater doors should be thrown open to
women and children. Director General
Davis has promised to abolish all OF the
danse du ventre antics this week.

but had been modified. They give a
fOrty-minute performance every hour.
Great crowds are attracted to each per-
Torrance, but the three vile denS-I
won't say which they were: let's see
whether the Outrages are abolished
first-are damned with people, great
part of whom are lOafers and the filthy
minded. In these three places, like
many of the others, the performance is
coarse and without any apparent eX-
cuse for its liberation. save the claim Of
its managers that it is typical of the
country it represents. | don't believe
that the performances are typical of
anything except depraved nature.
am sure that in two of the places, at
least, American girls were doing the
dancing and ali of the vile things IN the
performance"
The chip Dances
What Mortified Anthony Comstock
most in the three places was the Hip
Dance" which was repeated by young
woman every hour. There is no dane
ing to 1t. There is a great deal else,
however. which cannot be described i'll

and carried to an extreme.

and rush out. as hundreds of other
inrcceRt victims have felt. But there
is almost 10 way of getting out of those
places after you once get in until the
vile performance is over"
Anthony Cnmstock covered his face
with his hands again. SO vivid was the
recollection.
''lt is all horrible in its vulgarity.
There is not a shadow of art. or grace,
or Skill, or entertainment to apologize
for il. All this time the mob of lOafers

She is doing. She works herself up to

Anthony Comstock illustrated some
of the motions of tie hip dance" as he
spoke.

became interested. It is no secret that
lhere are features of the Midway Plai-
Bance which are castingiblemishes upon
he brlliancy of the worlds fair and
reproach upon the fair name of Chi
eago. UnwhoIesome stories have been
brought cack by supersenstive visit
0rs, and those who profess to know a
thing or two have been looking at
each other with significant glances
whenever Midway Plaisance was men,
toned. The press dispatches from
Chicago have steadily ignored these
queer things, however.
Anthony COmstOck was lecturing in
the West a few weeks ago, and casually
dropped into Chicago. He didn't want
to be known. He wanted to see all the
nice things of the fair just as so many
other distinguished people have seen
them-ineog. He had heard the queer
stories, too A minister had been the

So Anthony COmstock entered upon a
