keen thorns of mems ridicule. Mrs Esyerson,
Of Hawthorne, y. j.. has discovered this She
has made brave progress toward becoming
New Woman. She rides bicycle gracefully
and well. and she wears boomers even moro
gracefully. Being young. fairly good looking
and possessing taste in dress, her adoption of
bIocmers heightened her attrsctiveness, and
also did much to advance the great cause Of
Dress Reform. All that is necessary to secure
the success Of this movement is to get few
young. good-Iookins women in each locality
interested in ii. The trouble with all previous
attempts at Dress Reform has been that only
women with unattracsve faces, and who could
not even make black silk sit decently on
them, have taken an interest in them. Such
women will probably not be able TO make their
wings match gss their halOs on straight
when they are in Heaven. But l digress.

The Atlanta Constitution stands up sturdily

the st. Lawrence; now the telegraph and tsls- |
phone wires that form a wire network across its |
path over the Western States carry off its cleo |
trio energy, and not only is the vapor it con- +
tans precipitated on these regions, but it is I'M
able to reload itself with yapor on reaching the /
Great Lakes.
