" SUNDAY WORLD" FEATURES,

"A Yellow Aster." the most notable
book IN the world Of fiction which 1894
has produced. Is now exciting wide AS
tonishment in England. There is no
such thing as yellow aster, although
horticulturists have tried very hard to
produce one. And there is. fortunately,
no such girl as the heroine OF the book
This novel undertakes to show the re-
suits OF bringing up child without
any knowledge Of the Christian religion
or OF human affection or Of love. AL
though the author deals very plainly
with some incidents In the heroine's

cussed by writers. the book Is well worth

1t is a singular thing to observe how
the general trend of fashion, even in
Its EXTREMIST whim. is similar in its
styles for men and for women. When
the latter wear pull backs" or bell
skirts" 1t will be noticed that the
former usually dor the long closely fit
ting coat and narrow trousers. When
wide sleeves and full skirts come in for
feminine attire. with them are, for mas
culinity. overcoats with capes and wide
Tapping trousers. So, now, as 1t Is GUS
tomary for women to comb the front
hair down in 4 thick and wavy mass
over the ears, 1t follows that men should
not delay to cover up their ears, like
wise, by letting their hair grow long and
heavy and parting 1t In the same bushy
lovelocks. 1t Is period when most Of
the heads one sees look as II they be-
longed to II Circassian girl. a Pade-
rewski or a football player.

REMOVE THEM AT ONCE.

This Is not a good time for political
bosses to seek to exercise their func.
tions and to make insolent threats Of
their power TO defy public opinion and
II thwart the peoples Will.
There Is small political satrapy In
Chemung County. as there was in
Grlvesend until Its recent transfer tD
Sing Sing. and as there Is In some
other places tina; could be named The
bos IL Matthias II. Arnot. of the we'll
known Arnot family OF Elmira poit-
clans and bankers. and he holds a
strong hand over the politics OF the
county.
There is rumor at Albany that
Arnot is using his influence with Gov.
Flower to save the managers Of the
Eimira Reformatory from removal In
the knowledge that II they remain in
ONCE Brute BroCkway, the Superin-
tendant cannot be displaced. 1t Is
said that Boss ArnJts friends make

Will not venture to interfere with the
managers II the Chemung boss says
hands of" Arnot is Treasurer Of the
Reformatory.
4" The Evening World" gives this ru-
NOR for what 1t Is worth. but takes no
stock in the story. 1t has full conf
dence in the Justice. the humanity and
the courage of Gov. Flower. and feels
quite certain that he will respect public
sentiment In this matter. and remove the
managers In accordance with the recon-
mendation Of the State Board Of Char
tiles.
There Is no reason to fear that Gov.
Flower will yield either to persuasions
or threats. or will fail to do his duty In
this scandalous case. But the people de-
sire that his action shall be prompt, and
that the disgrace and cruelty OF Brock
ways retention In power shall not exist
a day longer than is necessary. The re-
port OF the State Board OF Charities has
already remained too long unaGted upon.
Not day should really have been al
lowed to pass without such action as
would have rid the State OF the disgrace
Of Brockway and have rescued the Ell
mira prisoners from his cruelty.
We now ask Gov. Flower to act at
once. with the vigor and determination
for which he Is distinguished. The law
gives him constitutional power and
makes 1t his constitutional duty to "see
that the laws are properly executed" A
competent, upright and honorable body
has declared the managers and Super
intendent OF the Elmira Reformatory
guilty of offenses against the law. Now
let the Governor exercise his authority
and take such action as will put n stop
to the scandal and outrage without fur
ther dallying or delay.

Short Skirts.

Short skirts grow more and more in
favor. and Spring will find all demi-
trains for street wear discarded entirely,
except for mtddle-aged ladies or an occa-
sional grand ceremony. The skirt is
over five yards wide. cut on the slope
upheld by a hem slightly "crinol!ned." :"
Basques are holding their own, and
continue to grow in favor. They are
very full below the waist line. Some
are stiffened and stand out like the full
REFERS at the shoulders. Double skirts,
with opening on the sides. continue to be
very much in favor. The upper skirt
is usually bordered with thick, heavy
trimming; fur and ruchings are used
extensively for this purpose. A couple
of very large fiat bows are used to cover
the opening.
