The First Marital Kiss.

If, as seems to be the case, it is to bo
considered the correct thing for bride and
bridegroom 20 exchange their first marital
kiss at the altar, 1t would be wise thing
TO announce the fact through the papers
beforehand, along with the number OF at
tcndants, list of presents, etc. That would
at least prepare the wedding friends for
this very beautiful observance. Alta largo
ly attended wedding, when the bridegroom
ut the conclusion Of the ceremony kissed
his bride, from all quarters OF the crowded
church came a sniokor, which was the
more surprising orr account Of the well bred
looks of the gathering. On another ooca-
sion the bride herself was taken by sur
prise and started back in alarm when her
newly mado husband wished to enter upon
his lately acquired privileges on the spot.

Diamond Coated Boots.

Everybody has remarked that the mat
ter applied TO boots and shoes--viz, black
ing--is IA dull, blue black substance en-
tirely devoid Of gloss, but when the leath-
er thus coated is rubbed over with dry
brush the boot begins to shine like a
bright luminary. What Is the cause Of
this strange phenomenon Is question
which naturally presents itself TO every
we'll regulated mind. The diamond, as
everybody knows and as recent expert
ments have abundantly proved, Is nothing
more or less than crystallized carbon. The
chief element In blacking Is likewise car
bon, In the shape of lampblack. The frio-
tion of the dry brush on the leather pro-
duces electricity, which has the property
of crystalllzing carbon. The leather, coat
ed with blacking and brushed, is covered
with millions Of microscopical diamonds,
which give go the blacking its peculiar
brilliancy. Accordingly everybody wears
diamonds on his boots.-Imparcial.

fact Mrs. Grannis is dress-reformer. aud
having the courage of her convictions she
takes her walks abroad. and even goes to

waited style of dress that the society women
whom she has been stating would prob
ably perish rather than walk out in. not
because it is immodest. but because it is
unconventional, and would never be ap-

The interest given to living pictures has
especially attracted the artists, ana the
hope that in San Francisco the pictures
may be represented in highly artistic and

given rise to many expressions OF satisfac.

subject is he welI-known artist Miss Eva
Withrow. who has privately impress
arioed" for the Century Club the produc-
ton of some works Of art that were pro-
nounced to be chef d'euvres. Living
pictures can be made means of educa-

Instance. In the ballet you do not pick
out crooked arms or decollete women, you
take il as whole, and it is beautiful. / think
that the greatest immodesty in living pic
lures would consist IN having them repre-
sented by models whose figures were not
suitable. From all l can hear. however,
they seem 10 have been draped.
Il think Mrs. Grannis is right from the
standpoint at which she looks at things,
although as for decollete women. there
Is nothing so beautiful as the lines of the
shoulder and the neck, if the way of ex-
posing them is not exaggerated. What
can be more beautiful than the picture of
Nine. Gautraud that was shown at Chi
cagO? do not admire it as painting,
but as q portrait of beautiful woman it
is superb. | have often seen her at the
opera in Paris in just that style of gown.
and though it is decollete. nothing could
be more modest and beautiful"
Mrs Mccormick added that for country
wear she considered Miss Grannis' re-
formed gown perfectly suitable, indeed
she confessed that when out painting at
Pacific Grove she wore Just such cos
tune herself.
~ thought the living pictures I have
seen very pretty," said Miss Marien Froe-
Itch. II do not know about New York,
but l suppose the representation depends
on the standard of the theater. As for
looking at plastic picture In the same
spirit as The canvas, l am afraid most
people could not do if, though l believe
there are some who could"
Then the young artist reflected moment
and added, with an expression of keen re-
greet: ''Oh, it is really disgusting to me to
find so many people who are supposed to
be high-minded stoop to criticize beautiful
statuary and paintings in anything but a
refined manner. They Try to pick out the

even IN the dead canvas and marble. when
the beauty of the work should raise them
above such coarse criticisms. Those are
the people who would find out the aues-
tlonable in living pictures before every
thing else.
IAN artist could look upon living pic
ture in purely artistic spirit, more than
the general public, of course. [ confess |

ordinary football goals. The usual number

stretched in fact games OF hurley" have
been seen where as many as fifty players
ranged themselves on either side of the
irnocent.lo looking slither. The object is.
of course, to drive. the slither with the
hurley through the enemy's goal. and the
accom- plishment OF this feat entails some
pleasing incidents in the way OF occasional
wild shots at the ball, whereby an enemy's
shin gets the worst of it.
However, hurley is healthful recrea-
tiOn, and league has been started to re-
viye 1t upon this coast. j. Donovan,
president of the Gaelic Football League,
anu attached TO the firm of j. j. OBrlen

thing like golf stick. only shorter and
heavier. and from its build is admirably
adapted for the hooking of an enemy

the legitimate use to which the hurley IS

: WILL BE REINTRODUcED.
But the Only Jerry May Not Be
the Father
ON ACCOUNT OF JUDGE WALLACE
The Measure Gives the Supervisors
Power to Increase Salaries and
Make Appointments.

The biennial attempt to create a paid
fire department for San Francisco which
would, to a great extent, be under the con-
troll of the Board of Supervisors will be
made when the Legislature convenes
Jerry Mahoney fathered bill creating
such department at the last session, and
if Judge Wallace does not prevent him
from taking his seat he will reintroGuce it
when the Lawmakers assemble.
The bill is entitled, IAN act to provide
for increasing the efficiency of paid fire
departments within municipalities in the
State of California" 1t provides that
whenever the public safety or convent
ence may require, or it is deemed exDedi-
ent. the City Council of any municipality
which is now authorized by law to main
tain a paid department may make and en-
force rules and regulations for increasing
the efficiency of such department. "And
to that END may authorize the appointment
and employment of such assistant en-
gineers, members, fremen, employees and
other help in addition TO those whose en-
ployment is now authorized by law, as the
needs Of said de partment may require, and
fix their salaries and the compensations Of
the officers, me m Ders. employees and other
uolp uOW dutuOlIL0u ny ldHs NuOoC SdidIlbS
and compen sation as now fixed BY law may
be deemed inadequate"
The section quoted sim Ely means that
the Board of Supervisors shall have power
to authorize and increase the mem bersnip
of the department and raise the salaries of
those who are now employed. 1t Tepeals the
law which limits the number and compen-
sation of fremen and. while giving power
to increase both. when deemed made
guate." gives no power to diminish either.
The bill, if enacted, will authorize the
Supervisors to purchase and keep in re-
pair, in addition 10 those now authorized
10y law, ''all additional engines. hose. hook
and ladder wagons and all sneh other en-
gines, machinery, implements, eXtinguish-
ers and other apparatus that may be nee
essary and, in order to provide he neces-
sary funds, may make all necessary and
supplementary appropriations, allowances
and payments in addition to those now
authorized by law"
While the bill gives the Supervisors
power to authorize the appointment of
new members and officers and increase
the compensation of members now en-
ployed, it expressly provides that all such
appointments shall be made by the Board
of Fire Commissioners.
The bill finds favor in the eyes of the
department. and IL not presented by Ma

The fact that the president of the League
for Social Purity has constituted herself
the patron of living pictures-what a ring
ing ALTERATION there is about everything
Mrs. Grannis does-has given the pictures
a wonderful boom all over the country.

bers of them in the artists clubs in Lon
don and Paris. They get up things there
in a wonderful manner, and in Munich
especially they think the pictures have
not been a success when they come out
little in debt, in consequence of the amount
of money lavished on the production.
Those pictures are represented at artists
clubs and are looked upon as an artistic
study. The general public are not ad-
mitted. because the pictures are looked
upon in purely professional light by the
painters there.
"When living pictures are given for the
general public | should think any study
bad influence, particularly when people
would look upon them as an amusement
and not a study. There is an endless va
riety Of pictures that can be done beauti-
fully if one is given time and opportunity.
They would be ever go much more ilstrue-
tive il they were produced so as to give
people an idea Of the characteristics of the
works produced, rather than being mere
copies of the dresses and attitudes. There
is one society woman ! know, for instance
who could pose beautifully as RGbens'
wife. she is just the style of woman, and
with the right lights she would look beau
tifully artistic.
THE worst of living pictures, as they are
represented Oh the stage, is that they look
too plastic. If black gauZe were hung
between the models and the audience. it
would give the appearance of flatness that
canvas has | hope" concluded Miss
Witbrow, that the pictures will be given
by the women here, to wipe out the dis
