Gowns for Debutantes.
The most dificult gowns in the world
to make are those for the wear of the

is so easy to indie or overdo matters
when in either case modistic disaster
results. Nowadays. perhaps, the ten

muslins and the lighter makes of silk
etc. Most of us are hard enough upon
the woman who, long past the meri-
dian of 30. still clings to the garb of
her girlhood. and has a penchant for
letting her hair down on every avail
able opportunity. and for broad sashes
of babyish blue: but l think we ought
to be still harder upon the mother who
robs her young daughter of that n
loveliest prerogative of youth-the
right to dress with simplicity. How
INFINITELY better they do these Things

taking into consideration the 4act that
both the intended wearers are bru-

is no more lovely or becoming color
for those whose tresses are dark, than
gray of one tone or another, always

PORTRAITS ON PIcsKIN.
A Scotch Tanner Believes He Has an Idea
That Will Interest Chicago.

From Hide and Leather.
From Scotland and it's banks and brae.
comes a proposition that is picturesqeu In
conception, startling in suggestion and
brilliant in autdacity. The proposition
aims at nothing short of elevating the
humble but necessary pig to a position OF
artistic worth and envied prominence.
In brief, a manufactures of pigskin leath-
er in Scotland writes temptingly and allur
ingiy of the advantages and glittering
possibilities of tanned pigskin for portrait
painting. Says the tanner:
"Our speciality here is the manufacture
of pigskins. We post you herewith copy
of Glasgow Daily Mail with notice re-
specting novel form of art we have intro
duced, whereby pigskin is appropriated
for portrait painting. The refracted rays
of light on the rough grain of the skin
produce a lifelike effect not approached
on canvas or other artists material.
at just strikes us that. Chicago being
such a center for pigs and millionaires,
some of your fine art people might care
to take up this novelty.
''Such a portrait would cost about five
guineas ($26. 25) each here to a merchant.
OF course, any subject can be executed
I'm the same way. Fol instance, from a
photograph this artist could produce you
any distinguished citizen on pigskin. We
give you the idea for what it is worth

mutual account.
Certainly we think this pigskin por-
trait idea would be a fetching one in Chi
cago. and we speak from experience OF
the country"
Our Scotch tannery friend would evil
dently like to see the hide of every re-
fractory, noisome and doomed pig at the
stock yards deftly removed and In due
course appear in the homes of the Chi
cago people bearing the faces of our great
men, prominent citizens, family portraits
or scenes from life, etc.
Alas. however. exterior decoration has
been sacrificed by the Chicago packers
to interior decoration of the insides of
the people. None of the pigs marketed at
the stock yards is skinned but sold I'm
segments, skin and all. The pigskin por-
trait idea, however. is thrown out by us
for what II is worth.

No Dispute a. TO the Fact.

Congressman Loudenslager is before the
people for a reelection. each voter, there
fore. who thinks Of voting for him should
first read the opinion of Vice Chancellor
Pitney in relation to his doings with the
Woodbury. Heights Land Company. It will
be found in Dlckinson's New Jersey Chan
Gerry Reports, Vol 10 page 70 The Vice
Chancellor says. "There is little or no dis
pute as to the facts of the case" From the
record it appears that Loudenslager, who
was then president of the company, took
the title to the four hundred acres of land
the company was to buy, and Immediately,
without himself having paid out one cent
for the land, decided it to the company at
price fifteen thousand, five hundred and
excess OF that he paid to the actual sellers
Of the land, some of the deeds to him being
made on the same day, and no one made
more than two day before he conveyed to
the company. The money of the company
simply passed through his hands to the
owners and in doing so fifteen thousand,
five hundred and twenty-five dollars and
eighty cents of it stuck to his itching palms.
This amount, with the interest there
on from the time he dishonesty took this
money, until the date of the decree makes
the sum of twenty one thousand, and
six hundred and seventy-four dollars and
thirty-eight cents which the Court of Chan
Gerry decreed he should pay to the company.
Instead of paying this he took an appeal
to the Court of Appeals. but that Court re-
fused to set aside the decree of the Chan
cellor
Thus Loudenslager stands, by the record
of the highest Court, guilty of unlawful
taking from the company, whose president
he was, this large sum of money. As
president he was the officer especially
charged with guarding its interests, but
he used the position instead to fitch from the
company over ne-third the cash paid into
its treasury by its stockholders. Aud such
is the man honest people are asked to send
to Congress.
