A BAD FOUNDATION.

1t seems fhrcicHl to talk about move.
m.nts 10 secure reform In the New York
city government when the Republican
majority Of the Constitutional '"uy"u-
ton is engaged in rendering honest al
mint-unuon ia stat or city hupu- iule
10y - shaping the Fundamental Law "a
to override the VIII aud ~" rights Of
the people, and to make part!sunahip all
powerful
The plan Of the majority of tn" CON
vention Is TO take u two weeks recess
from Sept. IL. so az to afford the Rcpub-
leans time to attend to their State CON
ventiOn, then to follow with another re-
cess for month. so MS to carry the
Constitutional Convention over beyond
the election. The object IL that the
gerrymande.ed appurtionment and the
judiciary article alone may be voted on
by the people until i * seen whether
the next Governor and Legislature are
to be Republican or Democratic. The
city and other articles viii then he
framed one way or the other in accord
ance with the result OF the election.
When the people are defrauded of fair
and equal representation. and the most
important articles OF the state Cunstitu-
tion are framed to meet the political SIT
uation. and not TO secure and promote
the best interests of the community.
how can any change that may he
wrought in the personnel of the Ad-
ministration bring about good and clean
government?
With a Constitution prostituted to
partisan objects both State and city
would go from bad to worse. and the
evils now complained OF would be in
creased and intensified.

Ia BILE Dressing.

The tablecloth should be white, al
ways. occasionally a freak of fashion
sanctions some color in s.lken centre
pieces. or sashes gracefully arranged,
but white is in good form at all times.
Don't overlook the flowers. The brighter
they are the better. Remember that
the table should not be crowded. Where
the meat platter is to go lare fringed
napkin should be spread. All the small
silver should be placed on the table ht
once. The knife and fork for the second
course, fork for the salad, and. next, a
spoon for the soup. The napkin may be
laid either to the left or in front of the
plate.

Millinery and MeIancholin.

What the lug Ibrious lady with the
long face wants on her head is a cherry
or Burgundy red velvet bonnet, and she
ought to have it, too, for the sake of
the community. A man milliner of New
York recommends 1t for constitutional
melancholla. The rich, wholesome color
has the vital force that cheers old eyes
and attracts young ones. 1t is suitable
to all ages and every type, and Is as be-
coming to blondes and brunettes as red
lips. Ostrich tips, birds, ornaments and
ribbons are introduced to make the
cheerful red bonnet inconspicuous.

COrns and Crooked Heels

Shoes with crooked heels are the CHIEF
support of the chiropodist profession.
DR.. Walsch New York surgeon, who
has been studying diseases of the feet
for the last ten years, attributes three
fourths of the corns that dis6gure the
modern foot to the uneven SURFACE of
the sole leather; the rest are coristitu-
tional. Many people would have corns
If they went barefoot. The ma jority
would suffer no Inconvenience IL they
kept the heels Of their boots in shape.
When the heel is allowed to run down
the plane Of the foot is changed m
stead of being parallel to the ground
the position IL slightly oblfque; the shoe
turns and the weight is thrown on the
little toe or the big-toe joint as the heel
'nclfnes. Wear high heels, low heels or
spring heels, but see that they are true,
so as to give the foot even support.

To the Editor
The newspapers have OF late fallen into a
habit which should call forth loud protest
from their Catholic readers. ! am speaking
OF their familiar references to "Satolli," Wat

ten they speak of Catholic prelates without
giving them their titles OF Bishop Monseigneur.

though they were politicians Is not likely tc

heads Of smooth. glossy hair that stay
done up for days and nights are simply
