RMS seeming discrimination against the

There is just one point about woman's

is woman's right to eat. by their

The elopement of the "one-armed and
ope-legged champion bicycle rider of the
world with a well-known and popular
young lady of good social standing in a
nice Ohio town is a reminder that in some
respects the new woman is very unlike

Portable surroundings, clipping with a one

old-fashioned, seem to possess?

From the Cornhill Magazine.
The women in the Neudorf Convent
prison were all so kindly in their ways, so
peaceful and good-humored, they differed
so completely from our preconceived ideas
Of criminals, that We were puzzled to i'm
aginc what could have brought them into

us one of her odd, humorous smiles.

ridor?" she asked. 'She is Marie Schnei-

That insigrificant-looking little woman,
who had stood aside with a gentle depre-
oative smile to allow us to pass, Marie
Schneider! Why. in any other place one
would have set her down at once as the
so thoroughly respectable did she look. And
she is Marie Schneider, a European celeb
rity with more murders on her conscience
than she has fingers on her hands!
And you let her stay here?"
I'VE have nowhere else to put her." the
Inspector who had Joined u.s. replied, ''and
we don't hang women in Austria"
Nor is she, as We soon found. the only no.
toriety In the place. One of the prisoners
is a delicate-Iooking girl, with large brown
eyes and golden hair-a type of beauty al
most peculiar to AuStrians- She has a low,
cooling voice, and a singularly sweet, inno-
cent expression.
What on earth can that girl have done
to be sent here?' whispered.
Done" the inspector replied, grimly; 'set
house on fire in the hope of killing a man
with his wife and five children"
The girl must have had extraordinarily
sharp ears, for, although we were standing
at some distance away, she heard what he
said, and she gave him glance such as I
hope never to see again in my life. 1t was
absolutely diabolic; had there been a knife
within reach the man would have died on
the spot. Yet only moment before she

smile an angel might have envied
Several of the prisoners are in the con-
vent for killing their own children; some
for killing, or trying to kill, their husbands;
others for stealing or embezzling; others,

in fact, and all ages, from girls of sixteen to

Coats to tailor-made gowns are made

By the way d handsome gown for wo-

gray hair is of black velvet. The skirt,
sleeves and revers are trimmed with bands
OF blue fox, and the revers are OF silver
gray satin. The dainty little bonnet is Of
frosted gray velvet with pearl bead ORA
ments and silver roses.
A charming gown, simple in construction,
may be made for young woman who Is
fond of black satin, though black satin Is
much too old for the young to wear. The
skirt is plain with a band of black velvet
at the foot, and a band on each side of the
front breadth. The plain yoke has the
lower part of the waist gathered on it in
baby fashion with bands of velvet down the
sides and outlining the yoke. The elbow
sleeves are banded with the velvet. and vel
vet finishes the belt and neck.
Very elegant indeed is a house dress fash
Toned after the design given. The light
brown silk skirt has chiffon of the same
shade pulled in two bands down each side.
The jacket is Of dark brown velvet, full
skirted in the back, but cut off on the sides
and tied down with canary satin ribbon.
The full front is of canary colored chiffon,
and plating Of the same falls from the
elbow sleeves.

EVOLUTION OF THE WALTZ.
Comment Created When This Form OF
the Dance Was Introduced.


the Dance Was Introduced.
From Notes and Queries.
The great popularity of the waltz gave
rise to many disputes whether the dance
came from La Sauteuse" or Wolfe" or
the German national dance, the "Laend-
ler,'' whence it made it's way to Vienna.
and was introduced in the opera Una
Casa Rare" By end by it found it's way
to France. DIR. Burney saw it performed
in Paris in 1850, and remarked
How uneasy an English mother would
feel to see her daughter so Familiarity
treated. and still more to note the oblig-
ing manner in which the freedom is re-
turned by the females
Crabb Robinson witnessed one at Frank
fort in 1900, and afterward described it in
his diary thus:
1.-The man places the palms of his hands
gently against the sides of his partner not
far from the armpits. His partner does
the same, and instantly, with as much We
locity as possible, they turn round, and at
the same time gradually slide around the
ROOM
BY the directions given in the Com
plete Dancing Master" it was the Gus
tom at Almack's for only one or two
quadrilles (and subsequently waltZes) to be
danced at the same time, and thus 1t be-
came matter of exhibition, the whole
company standing on benches to view the
performance.
Raikes, in his journal, declares that mo
event ever produced SO great sensation
in England as the introduction of the Ger
man waltz by Baron Neuman and others
in 1913.
How profound was It's popularity is
proved by the existence of Lord Byron's
diatribe:
What, The girl | adore by another embraced!
and by the fact that it supplied the title
of a comic opera by Horn and Arnold, in
the same year as the satire. John Oxen
ford also wrote farce, called "A Waltz

MISCELLANEOUS.
A GREAT AGREEMENT.
$4,000 Physicians of One Mind.

Foed for Strength First. - Medicine for
Cure Second.-The Least Food that
will give Most Nourishment, the Kind.
In this enlightened age, the old theory
held by physicians - to get as much medi-
cine in the least possible time into the
system of patient, even at the expense
of stomach, blood, brains, nerves, and
often. in the end, life itself - has been
abandoned.
The old way was to "dose." If the
patient had a tremendous constitution,
he sometimes 'pulled through" if not,
which was more often the case, that spe-
cial disease was considered more danger
GUS. as it had claimed another for its own.
B ut this is all changed now. All promi-
nent physicians agree on one subject, any
wav. Ii is this build the patient up
first, give him new blood and strength,
add flesh to his bones He's then ready
to receive the benefit of proper medical
treatment.
To do this effectually, that must be given
which will, in the least quantity, produce
the greatest amount of vitality, not a
stimulant which quickly reacts disastrous
ly, but q genuine food, muscle, bone,
and blood maker. Such food was long
sought for, and at last discovered in that
original and only raw food extract -
Bovinine.
By the use of this wonderful life-gene-
rating preparation, every organ of the
body becoming strengthened by nourish-
ment, naturally begins to perform its ordi-
nary functions, and at once the patient is
on the road to recovery.
1t is this result, obtained in hundreds
of cases where Bovinine has been used,
that has caused its Endorsement by rs, 600
prominent physicians in America.
In addition, thousands who have been
benefited can vouch for the wonderful re-
suits obtained by the use of Bovinine,
for invalids, the old, convalescents, the
over-worked, or, in fact, all who have
found it necessary to maintain strength,
flesh, and vigor.
