THE CONVENTION OF FAps.
Miss Bloomer Sneers Wickedly at "Mam
my" Crinoline.

Miss Bioomer snesrs wichsdly at "Slam-
my" Crinoline.
The annual convention of the Order
Of alternating Fads was called with
Mr.. Golfstick in the chair. After read
ing the minutes of the last meeting the
secretary stated that NANNY" Crino-
line had not paid her dues in thirty
years
II move that she be expelled from
| this association" said Miss Bloomer,
looking straight at the venerable old
lady.
A murmur of sympathy ran around
the hall as '.Mammy' Grinoline arose
to oppose the measure. Her voice was
somewhat hollow but as she waxed
warm she displayed all of that metal
80 peculiar to her in the old days.
"As pioneer of this organization" !"
she began, II stand here on"
II defy you to stand on anything un-
supported" interrupted Miss Bloomer.
"Why, you impertinent snip"
squeaked the old lady, you would
make light of my infrmity. would
you?"
"You never could stand alone" re-
/ torted Miss Bloomer, in a tone that
displayed animus. ''Fll leave it to MIR.
Wig, over there. who knew you in your
younger days"
Mr.. Wig looked ruffled, but nodded
his head in the affirmative.
Young Miss" continued Nanny
Crinoline, ~ have a mind to crawl all
over you"
The chair raped for order and would
not permit Miss Bloomer to respond.
and a rising vote was taken on the mo-
tion to expunge NANNY" Crinoline's
name from the roll 1t was lost.
Miss Tricycle. said that she had suf-
fered great deal of late owing to
what she termed the fast methods OF
Mr. Bicycle. She declared that he had
pushed himself ahead in way that
was peculiar if not suspicious She
asked that he be Investigated.
81 second that notion" exclaimed
old Mr.. Roller Skate, from the rear of
the hail. "He has injured me, too, and
| would like to see him scorched, just
that he might know how it feels"
"You would be more popular if you
made less music" said Mr.. Bicycle, de-
risively, and Mr.. Skate sat down and
made no answer.
''As to the complaint of Miss Tricy
Gle, l can only say that she has had hel
turn and that she has never improved
herself"
The motion to investigate was re
ferred to the committee on ways and
/ means.
Mr.. Pneumatic Tire complained thai
he was being made soft thing for car
pet tacks nowadays.
"Get onto them, as l did," advised
Mr.. Cushing Tire and the matter wal
dropped amid general laughter.
rs there any further business be
fore the convention?" asked Chairman
Golfstick.
at strikes me-" began Mr.. Baseball
rising
what strikes you?" asked a Florids
vegetable who had just strolled in.
"Don't you get fresh," cried Mr. Ball
savagely.
But the joke was SO apparent tina
the general mirth could not be checked
and after announcing that the bi-cen
tennial of the order would be held il
Chicago next year Mr.. Golfstick de
clared the convention adjourned. IN

Odd Notes on the Latest In Women
Costumes.

Odd Notes on the Latest In WOmen's
Costumes.
A stylish dress of pale-green crepon
has round skirt, very wide at the
hem, and trimming of velvet ribbon
set in at the waist-line and drawn
down over the skirt about one-half the
distance, where it meets very large
bows with loops and ends. There are
eight of these bands around the skirt,
four on either side.
A dress of India null, with stripes OF
embroidery, has n corselet belt made
of five bands of ribbon. These are
gathered into series of loops at the
back. and from this belt fall five ends
of ribbon, spreading over the back OF
the skirt. The sleeves are finished
with very large bows, and there is
ribbon collar with a bow at the back
of the neck.
White linen collars and cuffs are
again in favor for ladies' wear. Some
of the new shirt waists have adjust.
able collars and cuffs that may be
laundered like those worn by men.
This has advantages, as collars on the
garment do not do up as easily as those
that are detached.
Black satin and moire skirts will be
worn with velvet waists as soon as the
wrap can be discarded. One of the ia
vorite waists is of black velvet with
satin sleeves. Another is of dark blue
velvet with velvet sleeves and pro-
fusion of jet garniture.
A dress with low corsage has ruch'
ing of chrysan themum leaves at the
upper edge. These petals are taken
from the artificial flowers and sewed
on to band. They make very pret
ty and becoming trimming.
Skirts cut on the bias, that's, so that
the strip will run in diagonal fashion
are among the novelties \

The Young Idea.

In a Providence school an egg was
used to illustrate to the children how
Columbus, sailing west, went round
the world and found a new continent.
The next day the teacher asked the
pupils for what Columbus was noted.
After moment little Johnny B.
raised his hand. ''Wsll, said the teach
or, you may tell us, Johnnie" Then
came the answer. 1t was loud and
clear and confident. "He was the man
that laid an egg."-Boston Budget

Cooking water.

Few people know how to cook water.
The secret is in putting good, fresh
water into neat kettle, already quits
warm, and setting the water to boiling
quickly, and then taking it right off to
use in tea, coffee or other drinks be-
fore it is spoiled. To let it steam, SIM
mer and evaporate until the good wa
ter is all in the atmosphere and the
lime and iron and dregs left in the
kettle-bah! That is what makes a
good many people sick, and is worse

A Rumor About tho Chisnon.

The latest rumor in regard to hair
dressing is that the waterfall or chg
non is about to return and render the
heads of womankind the monstrosities
they were generation ago. Even the
accompanying net is threatened. The
only comfort is that this is "go as
YOU please" era, and it is not at all
likely that fashion so ugly will pre-
vail to any great extent. A more I'M

parting is about to depart and the POM
padour will take it's place There is no
style so charming for low, broad
forehead as the loose, softly brushed

tween President Samuel Spencer,
Of the Southern Railway, and Presi.

southern Pacific company, looking
to the formation of q traffic alliance

Pierpont Morgan has given his
sanction to the scheme.
The Southern Pacific now runs q
direct line from New Orleans to
San Francisco and Pacific coast
points. Its chief connection for
Ess ern points has been q line /,
steamers from New orleans known
as the "Sunset Route" No effort
has been spared by the railroad to
turn as much as possible of its
eastern freight and passenger
traffic to this water route, but
shippers and passengers have not
flocked to the "Sunset Route" as
it was expected, and to prevent
this traffic from going and coming
via Chicago, the new deal is pro-
posed.

men say that the convention, which
is certain to declare for free silver,
will be regular. The convention is
held simply to declare the psrty's
position on the money question.
The State committee at first voted
against holding state convention,

No contests have been made by

remedy in court Of law in suit

Many of the most serious public
scandals have been exposed by
those who did so with the under
standing that their names were
not to be used or divulged, and
who, in the absence Of such an un-
Outstanding, would never have dis
closed what they knew.
The greatest public good is often
subserved by publications based
upon information derived from a
source which 1t would be private
injury to reveal, and the revelation
Of which would be Of no advantage

The liability of a newspaper to
be held strictly accountable for
what it publishes is usually suf-
ficient to prevent the publication
of statements which are not sus.

The making OF confidential com.

any less careful as to what they
