WHY WOUE.N DRESS.

1t is often said that women dress
for other women and not for men. but
don't YOU believe it. Not one woman
in one hundred would care Il belt
ribbon whether she had IL silk or
calico gown, or whether it was made
with ltg-o-mltton or skln-tight sleeves
If there was no man, aSsuredlv or
prospectively, in the landscape to look
with admiring eyes upon her as she
wore it. Love Of admiration Is in
born. and is. SO far as We know, an
attribute Of all animate nature. This
being the case. the man or woman who
is destitute of the telling is not ID be
trusted. There is something lacking
to complete the creature.

MARRIED ELEVEN TIMEs.-A woman
who was, until recently, Mrs. DR.. Spen-
Ger, of Bourbon, Ind, has just been
Joined in wedlock to her 11th husband,
and as the bride of to-day is but "A
years old, time may possibly record
many other matrimonial alliances.
Her career is believed to be one Of
the most remarkable on record and her
uXormania is only equalled by her
ability to annul marriage contracts.
She was bride when a girl of 10 sum-
nuers, and her first venture was more
successful in point of time than any of
them, ten years elapsing before that
marriage was demonstrated to be a
complete failure. She was separated
from the second and third husbands.
The fourth was welded as the sequel
of a romance a convict in the Joliet
Jail won her good graces, and pardon,
which was granted by sympathetic
Governor, had matrimonial ending.
Death ended this union and the season
of mourning was followed by the choice
OF ilitn ana SlXln nuSOanu from q ie-
gion of suitors. a charge OF bigamy
was diSproved in connection with the
marriage of a seventh husband, who
gave her statutory grounds for di-
vorce.
The eighth husband was secured
through the medium of a matrimonial
paper, but his life had tragic ending
and at the age of 26 she concluded ne
sotiations with 5. II. Brown, No. 8,
with whom she. lived for two years,
and to this union the first child was
born. Brown disappeared and the
next alliance with DR.. Spencer. Ven
cradle physician, was terminated by his
sudden death
The courts of that State fail to record
a parallel with the ex-NIrs. Spencer's
checkered matrimonial life.
