TILTED CHINS
FOR WOMEN
They Are the Cause of Elk

Much Better Than Massage for the

THAT girl is horn TO have things as
she wants them. Just look at her tilted
chin. tip-tilted chin. Whenever you see
a girl with her head thrown back in that
| fashion you may depend she is going to
do about as she likes.
mot only that ! replied. writes Dor
othy Maddox. in the Philadelphia inquir-
er. but just think how lucky she is TO
! have a natural head pose instead of hav-

/ finitely to be preferred to n copy. The
copy is apt 10 be poor and then the effect

With another sigh, land she is going

aristocrat They will hint of blue blood
and all that kind OF thing. and all just
because she holds her head like a
queen"
IF you are 80 delighted with this pose
why don't you go ahead and study to
poise your chin in the air. l know of a
number of Young women who are try
ing to break themselves of that horrid
habit 81 downward droop OF the head.
They are getting along beautifully. At
first the artificiality of the head pose
made them most uncomfortable. Not for
very long. II Is pose that a little prsc-
tice makes perfect. OF course nothing in
the way of pose is ever half as attrac-
tive when the result of study IL is apt

woman who goes through with her head
thrown forward.
she is often fraud because of this
deceptive poise. She gets so much more
attention because those about her stand
a little in awe of her. She has such
c0ndescending manner. such a top-lofty
WAY. and yet 1 have known her to be the
meekest. the shyest OF women. Many a
time | have laughed in my sleeve at the
amount of homage paid this supercilious
head trick when the mistress of the
high-bred chin had not the slightest wish
to excite either admiration or awe. In
fact she was a very modest parsonage
but her chin did for her what neither
dollars nor all the social gTaces could ac-
complish'
Il will not lose a day" and here my
companions eyes flashed with determin-

THAT pose shall be mine"
I haven't doubt she will become an
expert in the chin-tilting art and as fine
a one as the haughtiest dame could de-
sire. 1t is Wei. The prettiest women 1
have ever met carried their heads i'm

SHE Is justly INDIGNANT.
An Illinois Woman Sues Her Tickle
Lover for $4,000.

Her wedding day thrice set and thrice
groom now denying any acquaintance
with the bride TO be, is the basis Of a
breach OF promise suit filed in Hills
boro. H., which will go on record as
one of the most PECULIAR in which
wounded love Is involved.
The plaintiff is Clara B. Hamilton,
the twenty -year-old daughter of
James s. Hamilton. a prosperous far
mer The defendant is Henry Hester
Thaacker. thirty years old, who has
taken up school teaching as his life
work Miss Hamilton asks 800 dam
ages, and the case win be pushed for
her by former Congressman Edward
Lane, her attorney.
In the fall of 1895 Mr.. Thaaeker was
employed to teach the winter term of
school in the district in which
Miss Hamilton lives He board
ed with her father, and the
acquaintance of the young couple
ripened into love. Their engagement
was announced and the wedding was
first set for a day during December,
1896 Before the time arrived the mar
riage was postponed to the following
spring. at Mr.. Thaacker's request. At
his wish the nuptials were again post
poned this time until September 8.
1897. During all this period Mr..
Thaacker was constantly to be found
in Miss Hamilton's company, attending
her to public gatherings and seemingly
devoted in his attentions.
AS September s approached invita-
tions to the wedding were sent to a
large circle of friends and relatives.
On September the old settlers OF
Montgomery held reunion in Hills
boro. 1t was attended by the young
couple, and in the evening Mr..
Thaacker took tea with Miss Hamilton
at her home, remaining there until 10
o'clock a night.
The next morning at 4 o'clock a
brother of Mr.. Thaacker, who lives six
miles from Miss Hamiltons home,
found Henry lying in his front yard ap-
parently unconscious. He was carried
into the house and the physicians were
called. When consciousness was re-
stored Mr. Thaacker talked in a ram
bling manner about three masked men
and a sandbag. At other times he talk
ed about falling off a bridge. 1t was
thought that he had received a blow
which had affected his brain, but the
physicians found no evidence thereof.
For ten days Mr.. Thaacker remain
ed in bed. During this time he talked
strangely and sometimes insultingly to
friends who called. When he had ap-
parently recovered he went to teach
the winter term of school at Honey
Bend. a small village ten miles north
west of this city.
Upon learning of the accident Miss
Hamilton recalled the invitations to
the wedding and awaited Mr.. Thaack-
ers recovery. To her establishment
and Indignation, when he had recover
ed he would not acknowledge az ac-
quaintance with her. much less, he said,
had he any recollection of an engage
ment between them. He fatty refused
to marry her and she finally placed
the matttr in the hands Of Mr.. Lane,
with the result that the damage suit
was filed.

TALKING THEIR NERVES AWAY
Silent Tongues Prescribed as q
Remedy for Feminine Worries.

All the wiseacres in the country are
talking our nerves over, and after ma
ture elaboration, conclude that one great
cause for nervous break-downs may be
attributed to feminine tongues, writes
Dorothy Maddox, in the Philadelphia In
quirer.
Pardon me IL agree. j do not wish to
say anything discourteous, but tongue
wagging is an awful disease amongst
women, and il you are honest you will
agree with me-,
was amused the other day as ]
watched a pair of trolley gossips try to
break away from each other long enough
to make a landing. Before the car reach
ed the corner one of the takers nodded
her head TO the conductor, keeping right
on at the same time with her voluable
chat How that woman could talk,
She had been steadily at 1t for squares,
and when the two got up to go out,
amidst the dead silence that reigned, she
kept up her conversation, never stopping
for a moment. but pouring into her
friends ear her chatter as she made her
way out.
The last / saw of them they had their
heads together. and the talker was fairly
gasping for breath in her eagerness not
to lose time. / pictured those two wo-
men arriving home after this trip down
town. dropping into the first corner they
could find, declaring themselves half
dead.
1t is almost as tiresome to listen to
constant talk as for one to do the talk
ing. II two women attempt to lunch to-
gether they talk between mouthfuls as
though they had not another minute to
live.
Women get together before counter,
each woman grabs a bit of goods and

DEVOTION OF A WOMAN.
An Interesting Contest Over an IL

DaIin Bros. followed Miss Greenwalt
from Cleveland to Chicago. and induced
her i'm order to save her lover from pros

Miss Greenwalt followed Whitney to

OF his going to the penitentiary. Miss

A FEMININE SCHLATTER.
An Indiana Woman Claims to Heal
All Diseases.

The town OF Butler. Ind. is now pass
ing through a religious revival such as is
seldom witnessed. A Mrs. Woodworth
who has frances and cures the sick by
faith, is the revivalist.
One woman drove a long distance
through roads almost impossible with
mud to have cancer cured and save
she went home healed. Another woman
was cured of lung trouble and an old
man of rheumatism. She claims she will
cure a dumb boy who has not uttered a
word for ten years.
The church is always crowded with
people, who ride miles through the al
most impossible Indiana mud roads td
hear her preach, and many are unable
to gain admission. She has.trances and
while they last her assistant. Miss EN-
ma Essenebrg. conducts the singing in
a startling manner.
Old sinners arise in the crowd and
shout that they are freed from their
sins, and people who never attended

Woodwork announces that she can cure
anyone of disease if he will only have
the faith.
