duct of their neighbors. Associations from
every section of our country have named
delegates to the convention. and we trust

The Widely Distended Skirt.

Our prayers have been answered. The
heavy, widely distended skirts will very
soon be thing Of the past. They are
an abominat;on and ought never to have
been allowed to become fashionable.
Why, it would take four hands to ma
nipulate the folds in such way as to
keep the skirt out Of the dust, and when
a woman tries to accomplish the task
with two her gown in soon forgotten in
her cramped fingers and she gives it up
in despair. How anything so totally, I'M
fit to be worn in the street ever became
a fashion is mystery to every one. ex-
cept, perhaps, those who manufacture
the haircloth. But physicians have de-
nounced the heavy Innings as injurious
to health, and this, with the good sense
of long suffering and heroic women,
who have patiently tried to endure the
burden for fashions sake, has brought
about decided reaction against them,
and the heavy skirt must go.-Philadel'

The EXPLANATION of It.

A little Jap was on trial in the police
court for defraudipg an innkeeper. Re
had testified in his own behalf that he
had paid his room rent for month.
Chow much did you pay?" asked the
prosecuting attorney.
The little Jap sat and stared at his
questioner.
The query was repeated.
''Quarter of 'leven.''
!, Everybody glanced at the clock and
observed that the time was correctly
given. " f.!{
eyes, it's quarter to II, but I want
to know how much room rent you paid. "
"Quarter of 'leven," repeated the
Jap. ~ 4
"You don't understand. How much
money did you pay?'' ia: i

The question was repeated in various
forms. but that was the only answer the
Jap would give, and he grew more We

was learned that he paid $10.75 for his

good natured women who are always
wanting to make other people comfort
able. She happened to be in the railway
station the other day; man she knew
came in. He said he was going to Pitts
burg. Now, it happened that Mrs. B.,
whose husband is director, knew the
conductor of the Pittsburg train. He
passed through the waiting room just
then, and Mrs B. called to him.
Conductor, said she, this is my
especial friend, Mr.. Smith. He is going
on your train, and want you to show
him every attention possible.
The conductor, Of course, said he
would, but when he went away Mr..
Smith turned to Mrs. B., with a sickly
smile.
II did intend to go to Pittsburg to-
day, and I was in an awful hurry, but,
on the whole, think I'll wait for the
next train.''

woman slip Of paper. It was a pass,

How to Make q New Face.

Skin removing for identifying pur-
poses is having agreat vogue among the
women who can afford it. At present
the price for making over the face Of a
woman under 50 is $50. An older sub
ject who is greatly wrinkled has to pay
800. The operation confines one to her
room for five days and is somewhat
painful, but not unbearably SO, as the
skin removing paste contains cocaine to
numb the surface it rests upon. An odd
thing is that if You have your wrinkles
removed before you are really an old
woman they will come again as you ad-
vance to the wrinkled age, but if you
have them removed after you are as
wrinkled as you are ever likely to be
they Go not return. And a danger Of
the operation, SO far as its complete
success goes, is that you will move your
face while the paste is getting in it's
deadly work. If you do, a wrinkle
forms and cannot be got rid Of. Liter
ally you must bear the pain with an alb
solutely placid countenance. Even a
grin is detrimental. - Philadelphia
