The LRdy's Maid.

From Demorests Magazine.
To think that fifty years ago a lady's
maid was a rare bird in New York. where
nowadays the life's happiness Of many
women depend on whether they are well
'maided" or not! 1t Is rather interesting
to learn that in one of the Vanderbilt
houses at Newport. where every summer
smart house-parties in regular succession
are entertained, a whole corridor In one
wing Is set aside for the accommodation Of
visiting ladies' maids. There IS a suite Of
charming little bedrooms all daintily fur
nished in maple and dimity, a coy sitting
room and perfect bathroom, all set aside
for the maids enjoyment and comfort A
general impression, under which the women
of simple manners labor. is that the
position Of maid to a rich leader Of fashion
is good deal of a sinecure. In some re-
spects II is. for beyond doing the very
choicest laces occasionally the maid of
rich woman Is forbidden to do anything
that will redden or coarsen her hands or
disarrange her dress; but on the whole
her life Is not easy. Sometimes she assists
at half-dozen changes Of costume day.
and she is responsible for the condition
and whereabouts Of every article and orna-
ment Of the toilet. When she sends her
mistress down to the carriage. bound for
a ball, dinner. shopping or calls. every
smallest detail must be perfect, every but
ton solid, fresh handkerchiefs in pockets
and cards in their case. Sometimes she
sits up until after midnight for three and
four evenings in succession AMI must be
at madames bedside in perfect trim next
however soon caprice may have
prompted madame's CALL She often has to
nurse indolcnt, fretful mistresses through
imaginary and tedious illnesses; and one
poor creature, whose employer was a victim
of nerves, slept every night r. a room ad-
joining the hypochondriac, with a rope
round her waist and one end of it resting
on a chair at her employers bedside At
any hour of the night a rude jerking liter
ally dragged her from her slumbers to some
need Of the fanciful lady--who paid the
maid well, however, for the life Of real
torture.

The stylish BathinE Suit.
Bathing dresses are now agitating the
feminine mind. at least the mind CT the
woman who is going to the seashore. Once
upon a time a bathing dress was a matter
of small thought. The bathing was the
thing sought and the robing for 1t a matter
OF secondary consideration. Now the BATH
ing dress comes first, and unless it shows
the latest cut and finish bathing will not be
INDUCED in at all. Don't fiatter yourself
that you can run to the seashore and rent
bathing dress for song from among the
"hand-me-downs" made in nondescript fash
lon that lie soggy, coarse and salty on the
shelves at the bathing beach! You would
feel like Cinderella in rags at the princes
ball among the birds of gay plumase that
hutter around the sand dunes, digging the
toes of pretty bathing slippers In the wave
washed ground and displaying wonderful
vistas Of shapely legs. uncovered arms and
barred bust. Once the bathing dress was
made Of some neutral color, modestly long
correctly high and with unabbreviated
sleeves. The favorite material was flannel,
anu IL was worn without sign OF stays.
You don't catch a woman wearing any such
looking thing as that now, not II she knows

The fin de steele bathing dress is a sight
1t Is full skirted, 1t is short sleeved. 1t is
abbreviated at both ends, and II runs races

Black Crook ballet dancer, and II would
serve Loie Fuller for a skirt dance IL II were

The plank on the transportation
question adopted by the populist state
convention is one to which we wish to
invite the attention of the people of
Kansas. The railroad corporations
are extOrting the life.blood from the
producers and consumers of the state
to such degree as to render the great
n ajOrity, partially if not totally de-
pendant upon charity. The peoples
party uses unmistakabIe decision in
speaking on this question. and proves
the sincerity of the party by referring
to the record of the popqlist state SEN
ate. The only hope of the reduction of
transportation rates lies in the success
of the populist party.

WE have never intimated that an
alien taxpayer is, or should be voter;
nor have we maintained that every tax
payer ought TO be voter. But we
reiterate the fact that, that provision
which DISTINGUISHES an eXcoDfederate,
has outlived its day; that tie VAR Is
OVER, that the law has never been put
into practice, and only exists today
because Its repeal has been neglected,
and not because the people of Kansas
approve it. When law LAYS in quiet
ude for quarter of century, or near
ly so, when it could have been used
every year, is ample evidence chat it is
unpopular, and he who calls it up is
simply blood-thIrsty politician. We
believe that the same law should apply
to members of all parties, and right
here we wish to say that there has been
no instance, in this county, or the state
for that mater, wherein populist has
challenged an exconiederate voter, even
though he was an ardent supporter of
the republican ticket. We need con.
stitutlonal convention, and need it
badly, and the time is not far distant
when we will have it; then will these
sectional anImosities be wiped away.

COMPARE the populist plank with the

of their respective conventions. The
one is for absolute free coinage at the

afford to support the republican ticket.
