But indeed for me-speaking as an
artist, and also perhaps little bit as
a man-pootiness is almost virtue in
itself. 1 don't think shall ever weary

to grow old gradually. 1 like to sur

from seeing her faults; it only prevents
me from seeing them as clearly as you
do!
Please be not very severe on her, for
her grandmother's sake. Words fail

MIRRORS DO IT.

MlhhORS DO H.
One of the most successful modistes
In town owes her prosperity very large
ly to scheme so simple it is strange
that no one has ever thought Of it be-
fore. 1t is as follows: The dressmaker
establishment is in double house--that
is to say, one with rooms on either side
Of its hallway in the middle. One side
is dedicated to one sort of customers,
the fat; the other to another sort, the
lean. No "plump'' woman was ever
known to pass beyond the portals lead
ing to the side not intended for her,
and "nosplyh" has ever yet been per-
mitted to acquaint herself with the
mysteries of the apartments consecra-
ted to those of adipose figure. or
course, it is the mirrors. Every dress
maker has them of the two sorts, but
not every dressmaker has been shrewd
enough to keep the two 80 distinct and
separate. The fat customer at this
particular establishment sees herself on
all sides in glasses that make her look
like the sylph she isn't, while the liv-
ing skeleton herself would present
rounded contours If reflected by the
magic mirrors lining the walls of the
thin rooms. 'Fat" aud "thin" is the
way the two sets of apartments are de-
signated by the employees Of the estab-
lishment. The audience room into
which brand new patron is ushered
for the first lime is without mirrors Of
any kind, and the first thing that Elise
says to Celeste, when she ammo unces
the new arrival is: sis she fat or thinp,'

WHAT TO WEAR IN MOURNING.
One of the most difficult problems in
feminine dress is that of what to wea
when 10 mourning, for there are almost
as many gradations of black as there
are wearers of that sombre hue.
With the progress Of dress reform
crepe is less wo rn than in former years,
and the sight of a woman literally sWath
ed in crepe is now rather the exception
than the rule.
Widows. it is true, still retain the ir
orthodox weeds for the prescribed year
and day, but after the first month the
long veil, being found in most cases in
imical to health, is removed for shor-
ter and lighter one.
The proper materials used for deep
mourning are crepe cloth, nuns yeilinRs
Henrietta cloth, dull silk and plain
serge. Neither velvet or velveteen is
ever worn in mourning, but satin. peau
de sole and uncut velvet may be usad
for evening wear, with lisse, or chiffon
es a garniture. Lace Is entirely inaD.
ropriate. and is as much out OF placa
as are ostrich feathers, colored gems. or
indeed, any jewellery, except pearls.
a suitable gown for what the French
call "a little dinner, y is of plain gren-
adine over silk, with dull ribbons and
frills Of litse or chiffon. Little boleros
OF crepe, edged with dull silk balls, are
very usefu to put on over q silk blouse
Of plain silk, and many Of the fancy
collars can be copied In crepe and lisse,
and aremost useful to vary the toilette.

DR.. CONNOR'S TRADE
Against Chattanooga And All Its
Hosts.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 1.-The Enquirer
has special from Chastanoocs which
says:
A sensational episode occurred Sun
day night before the war tigation
commission. Rev. Marion Ham Of this
city. pastor of the Unitarian church,
aud a republican 10 politics. had been
asked to appear before the commits
sion. Only General Dodge. General
Sexton, and DIR. Connor were present.
Mr.. Ham proceeded to tell of Nuun's
case, in which he said that Num-,
private of the 9th New York volun
teers, had laid in a hospital tent over
"a hours after death, perfectlr nude.
"rhe body had been opened. aud when
1 saw it, it was fyblown and maggots
we're teeming in cuts under the arms
and out OF the eyes"
At this point DR.. Counor, who had
been conducting the examinations, it
against Chattanooga people ia general
and the ministers of the city N partic-
ular. He accused the ministers Of
Chattanooga of gross neglect of duty
when they failed to call n ass meetings
for the purpose of preventing crime,
m sking the statement that Chatta
nooga people had imported thousands
of women to debauch and Kill the SOL
diers.
This aroused Mr. Ham and he
said:
"Dr. Connor, | was led to believe
that you were here to inveSti gate the
abuses at Chickamauga aud not to- in
vestigate and pronounce Judgment on
the people or the ministers
of Chattanooga. | have some
important testimony bearing on
your inquiry, things l
saw with my own eyes and to which l
am willing to be qualified. II you are
not Lere to whitewash certain things
that trauspired at Chickam sugs. you
are going beyond your authority and
the scope of your inquiry in your vilif
cation of our psople.''
This rejoinder made matters worse
and the doctor started in on a fresh
philippic on Chattanooga and minis
ters, when Mr.. Ham arose AID left.
He was asked by General Dodge to
ubmit his testimony in wiring to tn q
board, but refused.

PARLIAMENT
Opened Its Session Today

ROME, Nov. 1.-The session OF the
Italian parliament which opened todsy
is likely to prove OF extraordinary In
,erest, because it will be called upon
to deal with the serious disaffection In
Sicily and other questions OF equally
serious aspect.
The usual ceremonies attended the
opening of the session. The city was
decorated for the occasion and large
crowds assembled to witness the ar-
rival of the senators and deputies.
King Humbert and Queen Margaret
were also the recipients of enthusiastic
applause as they drove through the
streets. which were lined with more
than the usual number OF troops.

professional reputation OF its mem bers.
The house which The organization has
taken DOS session of, is what is known
sstbe "Old Octagoa house," at the
corner of 18th street and New York
avenue. and which is regarded as one
of the purest and most interesting ex-
smnles of colonial architecture in the
United States. Begun in 1903, the
house vas for half q century
the finest mau sion in the ma
,ional capital and during that
time was closely associated
with the social and political history of
Washington. Its builder and tirst oc-
cupant was Col. John Tsyloe,
wealthy Virginisn, who was one OF the
frst citizens to take up his residence at
the new capital. When the white
house was destroyed in the war OF lSl2
Mr.. Tayloe placed his home at the dis
posal of President Madison, who lived
lhare until the executive mansion WAS
rebuilt. The treaty of Ghent was sign
ed there and the hou-e was also the

MAY BE A SAINT
But II Is a Tedious Process.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. l. Rev.
Joseph wissel, who recently Jour
peyed to Rome to take preliminary
steps looking to the beatihcation o'
the late Bishop Neumanu, OF this
city, is again at work taking testi-
mony as to the venerable bishops re-
puted miracles, and owing to the
large number of persons to be exam
.ined. it is hardly probable that this
psrt of the work will be finished with
in q year.
When all this testimony has been
gathered it will be submitted to the
congregation Of rites at Rome and as
there are m any such cases pending,
ard as, moreover, this portion OF the
process is conducted very slowly and
with great care, it Is possible that
Bishop Neumsnn may not be caronized
within the lifetime OF the present gen.
