HE CONQUERED 1T.
Awful Struggle with "A Monster That
EinnIIY Yielded.

All was silence for moment.
Then a loud, shrill shrek rent the startled
air. There was the sound of heavy body
falling, a crashing of timbers, noise as Of
sinful spirits wailing in despair. y chain
creaked dismally and then parted with
dead, metallic snap. Staggering backward,
he fell against the washstand. The bowl
and pitcher fell in a confused mass of broken
crockery upon the floor, while the water
flooded the room.
Again he advanced to the attack, and the
black browed monster bent slightly forward
and cast him full length upon the floor.
Blood gushed from his wounds, but he
leaped again to the attack. With loud curses
he grappled with the demon. His garments
were torn in a hundred places. One eye was
black and blue! The other was blue and
black! But still he kept up the fearful
combat, At length, when nearly exhausted,
with his life blood slowly ooang from>a
thousand wounds and his breath coming in
short, painful gasps, he won! The dread
monster lay wide open before him.
THERE" he said, as he wiped the drops
of perspiration from his brow. There! It's
a cold day when l can't open a folding bed."

Cycles of Eollies

Follies repeat themselves. 1t was Ed
ward w. who decreed that a shoemaker
making peaked toes more that two
inches long should be fined 20 shillings.
Now, untrammelled by such laws, one of
our most fashionable bootmakers has
introduced long, pointed toes, which
have to be filled in with cork at the tips,
and are mostly carried out in the finest
patent leather, with small buckles on
the instep, illustrating the utmost per-
fection of workmanship. Being so, it
would be wiser to relegate them to our
cabinets of curiosities. In the Tudor and
Stuart time women desirous of rising in
the world borrowed inordinately high
heels from Italy, and these went by the
name Of choppines"-Evely in his
Diary calls them "scaffolds''-and the
ladies who wore them to walk abroad
had to have a servant on either side for
support. This impractical fashion is
not likely to have any great following,
but some beautifully made shoes, with
heels varying from three to seven inches
in height are to be seen at modern
shoemaker's rendered in the most cost
ly stuffs, such as floral brocaded velvet
on cream satin, and gold and silver bro
oadles introduced on the high heel as
well as on the upper part of the Shoes
1t seems almost impossible that the
wearers could walk in them, but they
do. The preposterous heel gives height
and considerably reduces the apparent
size of the foot, but the wearer must
be treading on the very point OF the
toes.-St. James Gazette.

!: THE FUNERAL OF IN EMPRESS ;
HeAAAAA&A&A&AA&&eAA&&A4eas

| On the I'd Of last month forty millions
of people bowed in grief at the death
of the empress dowager of Japan. And
it Is worthy of note that during her Ill
ness the prayers of her subjects were
constantly interrupted by their sobs.
When her illness terminated fatally
It was announced that one month would
be observed as a period of national
mourning.
There is a deeper significance to this
imperial funeral than appears at first
sight.
1t implies nothing less than the equal
ity of the sexes. The empress dowager
was the mother of their beloved emper-
or, and as he is regarded by them as
the wisest and best of rulers. they go
back to his mother for the power which
was before him. and recognize that mys-
terious attraction of the sexes which re-
suits in sons inheriting their mothers
virtues, while daughters more frequent
ly show the peculiarities of their fathers
In all Buddhistic lands the male and
female are represented in art and SYM
bols as equal.
The lions of Buddha, so much used as
ornaments everywhere, are represented
in Japan anyways in pairs. the male and
the female. Not two males. as we see
cut in stone at the entrance of our
beautiful city courthouse.
through thousands of years of the liter
ature of the far east.
The first book, SO far as we know,
ever written on the woman question was
written by Pan Chloe, Chinese woman,
about 1000 years ago. In it she beseught
her countrywomen to observe all the
rules of virtue, because Of the sons
they were to bear"
There are other features of this great
funeral which convey subtle mean
ing almost too deep for the casual OBJ
server to understand. Much discussion
was had as to whether any western
form of burial service should be used,
as it was intended that this funeral
should establish a precedent for the new
Japan. Count Ito's opinion, expressed
some time ago in their parliament, in
which he advocated the adoption of
Christianity upon the ground that "the
morality of Buddhism Isl too rigid to ad-
NIT of material greatness" seems to
have done much to bring on a reaction
against our form of worship, and so
they went clear back to the Shinto, or
ancestral form. maintaining a conserva-
tism hardly expected by the mission
aries.
In connection with the funeral, the
emperor gave $400, 900 for the sick poor,
and, as special act of clemency, miti-
gated the sentences of all the convlcts
In the empire, even extending his char
ity to the Formosan Islands. All to-
gether, he liberated about IS, 900 prison.
ers and commuted to life Imprisonment
all capital sentences. Sentences of life
imprisonment were changed to trans
portatton or fifteen years imprfson-
ment, and those imprisoned for term
of years had the time reduced to one
fourth the original sentence. All to-
gether, 63,4S5 prisoners have been made
happy by the beneficent act of his i'm
perial majesty. There is dignity about
this occasion very far from western.

Color In Dress

Hitherto one Of the canons of good
dressing has been the harmony of color
in eyes and gown. We have always been
taught to believe that no woman can
make false step as regards suita bility
of tone so long as she essays to match
in some way the color of her eyes. But
a French woman, whose exquisite dress
ing Is the envy of all the bellies of Paris,
now declares this to be a complete mis-
take, and that nothing is more fatal
for a brown-eyed woman than to dress
herself in brown or a blue-eyed woman
to dress herself in blue. The reason she
gives for arriving at this conclusion Is
that an artificial dyed color, placed in
proximity to a natural color has the ine-
vitable result of injuring the latter.s Her
theory is that thereeis one color, orson
shade Of color or one combination Of
colr, which suits each individual wo-
man. and 1t Is this which must be sought
for and diligently adhered to when

RAINY-DAY SKIRTS OUT
Baltimore Women Fulfill Their Promise
as to the First Sloppy March Day


Opportunity was given yesterday for
members of the Rainy Day club to don
their shortened skirts and to make their
first appearance on the street In the cos
tune upon which they agreed when they
Joined the CLUB. The first rainy dAy in
March was the time set by the club for
their peaceful crusade in the cause of
health.
Without show or ostentation the wear
ers of short skirts appeared during the
rain No concerted appearance was
desired, but whenever the duties or
pleasures of the members called them
upon the streets they walked forth with
skirts not more than six nor less than
five inches from the ground. Uniform
style or material was not sought, but
the members consulted their individual
tastes In selecting their costumes. This
left the way open for ladies who do not
belong to the club to adopt the short
cred skirt without making themselves
conspicuous.
Men who noticed the cleanliness of the
shortened skirts and the evident comfort
OF the wearers gave mods OF approval
as the ladies walked along free from
bedraggled skirts clinging about their
ankles Ladies' who lacked the courage
to adopt such a costume gave inward
thanks to their sisters of the club for
setting a good example, and went home
resolved to wear similar costume on
the next rainy day
A few members of the club wer lit
tie timid about venturing into public
with their abbreviated skirts. They de-
layed their appearance so long that the
clouds had broken and the sun was shin
ing before they could muster up cour-
age.
Women who are physicians, teachers
and follow vocations of similar char
acter are members of the club. AS their
professions lead them out of doors fire.
quently they are in the van of the wear
ers of shortened skirts. Following them
come shoppers and housekeepers, whose
unpleasant experiences in market with
wet skirts make welcome the new Co.'S

WHAT ALFRED MANNING HIS TO say

boot in any position; in cycling you have
front and back view, equally ungraceful
and often worse. Our charming, prud-
ish, hypocritical countrywomen, Eng
lish especially, turn up their eyes and
say: How vulgar!" "Shocking!" mo
lady!" etc, etc. These ladies told me
two years since that no lady would ride
a bike or wear bloomers, and would new
er let their daughters do either They
are doing both flow-grandmothers
mothers and daughters. So much for
the stability Of opinions Of our English
ladies'.
An English lady of rank, coming from
Dublin castle, missed her friends car
riaige and had to take cab. She was so
amused with the cabman's conversation
and brogue that on her arrival at her
friends house, she asked for some whis-
ky for him, and, throwing off her cloak
(she was stout and very decollete),
poured out a quantity of the whisky in
glass and asked if he would like some
water. The man unadorned: "Ah, no,
at ample nature unadorned: "Ah, no,
me lady; I'll take it plain and naked, like
yourself" This lady told me the story
herself, but would not allow her little
daughter to ride a bicycle or wear bloom
ers-"it was immodest-unladylik etc.
