SMALL WAISTS THE RAGE.
Partisan Women Are Lacing i'm Spite
of the Dress RefOrmers

Have you seen any of the new French
corsets?" asked Mrs. Twiggs, who has just
returned from long visit to that dear,
delightful Paris" so near to the hearts of
all good Americans. She was sitting in her
pretty pink and white boudoir gossipng
about the latest fashions with her friend,
Miss Tublets. They had already discussed
the dreadful weight of the new skirts, with
the back breadtbs lined from top to bottom
with hair cloth, also the manner in which
the three folds are held in place, and Mrs.
Twiggs had shown her friend the wonder
full arrangement of rubber bands with
which the inside of her skirts are provided;
the new bonnets had been touched upon,
too, and now they had arrived at the Ques-
ton of stays.
Il was talking to one of the best-lsnown
of the Partisan mouistes on this subject u
few weeks ago." continued Mrs. Twiggs.
land she said that if the present fashion
for small waists lasted a couple of years
longer, good figure would be as rare in
Paris as white crow. You see, with the
passion fer tiny waists has come that for
very large hips and shoulders, and so The
proper thing in corsets now is really moth
ing more than the girdle about five inches
long worn by ballet dancers, except that II
has long front steels This corset can be
palled in as tight as the wearer can stand
it, while it leaves the bust and hips entirely
unrestrained, and the extreme compression
of the waist naturally throws the flesh
above and below. i have seen many
waists that did not seem to be any larger
than the necks of the unfortunate owners.
while their hips stood out in straight lines
on either sides" -
Thank heaven" exclaimed Mrs. Tublets,
that this barbarous fashion has not been
adopted here!'
no, it has not arrived yet. but it proba-

course, no other style of bodice is ever seen
in Paris now, and the belts used serve TO
accentuate the waSp-like effect"

HER BONES ARE BREAKING.
Miss Sarah Scott Of Fall River Is Suf-
fering From Singular Disease.

From the New York World.
Five years ago Miss Sarah Scott of Fall
River was budding into a womanhood that
promised an exceptional example Of fem
mime beauty. Today she is a bedrid len
invalid in whom every physician in New
England is taking an interest. She is suf-
fering from osteomalacia. a rare disease Of
the bones.
Her parents were both healthy, and they
have another daughter who enjoys a beau
tiful face and a splendid physique. About
eighteen months ago Miss Scott complains
ed of a peculiar soreness in her left thigh.
While about to step on train her thigh
bone snapped at the sore spot and she
was carried into hospital.
The manner of the breaking was so SIM
pie that the examining physicians curios-
ity was at once aroused. After some OF
the most expert men had looked into the
details IL was decided that amputation was
necessary to prolong the girls life. Her
nerves were in a shattered condition, but
the amputation was successful. 1t was
noted at the time that the bone of a
very unusual composition, but no such re-
suits as have followed were expected.
After the wound had been dressed and
while she was being turned In hospital
bed the doctors and nurses were astound-
ed by the breaking of a bone in her right
thigh, almost in the exact spot where am
putation had been performed on the other
leg.
The fracture was treated Immediately,
end for eight months the girl remained
at the institution under the care of physi-
cians who studied the case anxiously.
Then the broken limb healed, and the girl
was taken home. Her general health did
not improve, and she became a great care
to her relatives. One of the surgeons at a
Boston hospital. who knew of her case,
settled in Fall River some months ago and
made a close study of the disease as it
developed.
Not many weeks ago, while the girl was
resting her foot on the floor, trying its
strength without the support of crutches,
the right thigh bone again snapped about
where il was previously broken That ne
cessitated a total confinement to her bed.
A few weeks later she was trying to chew
a small piece of meat, when her left Jaw
bone broke.
This caused n noticeable swelling, and
her pretty features now look distorted,
Two weeks ago she was trying to fix q
pillow under her head, using her left arm
to push IL into place. She hadn't reached
her hand to the back of her head before
the bones of the arm just at the shoulder
joint seemingly fell apart.
She now lies on her back, nursing a
broken right leg. broken jaw and a
broken shoulder joint. Her left leg Is gone,
as stated.

STEAD STILL AT IT.
He Writes Another Book About Chicago
and the Labor Var.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Wm. T. Stead has
from the press another book about Chic
ago. 1t is called Chicago Today, or the
Labor War in America
The first part deals with the COxey
movement; the second Is entitled "Just
Before the War" and tells the story Of
Pullman and the model town, with por
traits of 'sthe loyal labor leaders;' the
third is devoted to what the author calls
the WAR" containing references to the
strike and prophecy of a social revOlu-
ton.
8Ir. Pullman gets the blame at the out
set for a logged refusal to arbitrate and
save the calamity, but Mr. Stead con-
cludes the real trouble lies deeper than
the action of one man. He blames it to
the rooted distrust which is the canker
Of American civilization He says:
s'In business men have forgotten God;
they have lost faith IN man, and they are
reaping the penalty. In place of CO.
operation of confidence there is every
where the fiercest rivalry of cutthroat
competition, eating confidence out of the
heart of man."
He quotes a commercial authority to
make the statement that there were in
this country last winter from 100000 to
1000 900 voorhees, WOrkmen. He says:
This IS an army as large as the list of
the soldiers under colOrs in all Europe.
The political economist who wakes elo-
Quent over the waste of wealth occa-
stoned by the bloated armament of the
present century always reckOns the cost
of the withdrawal of SO many able bodied
men from productive industry as a
heavier tax than the mere expense of
their maintenance. The United States
has no standing army Of soldiers to
speak Of; but its army Of unemployed is
almost as expensive as our European
s0Idiery. The voorhees, worker produces
as little as the drilled soldier, and
although the maneuvers of the parade
ground are economically vaIueiess, they
are superior, at least in providing Occu-
patton. to the condition of enforced idle
ness in which the unemployed pass their
time"
