Let U. Hold Up our skirts.

It is the easiest way in the world to hold up the
skirts, and the woman physician who recommend
ed it knows, because all her clothes are made to
be held up that way in case Of necessity She
has the courage to wear what is considered an
absolutely hygienic dress. Every garment hangs
from the shoulders, ''buttoned up the back lust
like baby's," the doctor says. Nothing fits
tightly at the waist, and the fullness of the frcIt
Of the gown is gathered or plated at the waist
where there is band little pointed TO avoid
that straight line across the waist which is so
ugly and inartistic. The doctor wears her skirts
of length which do not require holding up.
'but il do care to hod them up an inch or two,''
she says, with laugh, why, it is the easiest
thing in the world. Sce!" That ''See" is not
slang, for at the same moment she illustrates
her skirt-raising methods raising her shoulders
inch or two, and every skirt goes with them.
1t may not be pretty but that motion is one
among others recommended for developin3 the
muscles of the neck, giving beautiful round
ness of contour which is necessary for beauty
and a foundation for reasonable plunipness 90
there are other advantages in it.
The doctor carries her ideas Of a hyfienic dress
further than this. for her walking boots are of
the most approved pattern, with low heels and
wide, fat toes The necks Of her gowns are in
keeping with the rest of it. stif collar or even
high collar around her throat, but little turnl,acs
collars. which give perfect, freedom to every
muscle. It is all very becoming to the doctor,
but it is not every woman who would have such
courage OF convictions

Mrs. Chadwick. Invention.

The many friends of Mrs. Cornelius Chadwick,
wife Of Capt. Chadwick, Of the cruiser New York
are congratulating her on the adoption by the
Government Of the carrier invented by her for
wounded men. 1t is an ingenious contrivance,
and will doubtless be Of great use in the present
war. Thousands have already been orderel by the
Government. The carrier Is made Of an obloug
strip OF canvas two and one-half feet wide and
FIVE or six feet long. It is carried by two men,
who have light, harnesslike arrangement pass
ing over their shoulders, with a belt about the
waist. From this harness long strap runs down.
ward from the shoulder, terminating similarly,
and short strap is attached to the belt about the
waist. |
When wounded man is to be carried he is laid
upon the canvas, and the bearers, stopping down
snap the longer strap into rings on the canvas at
his feet. The short strap Is then caught on rings
on the carrier near his head, the waist belt straps
being on rings at the center OF the canvas. This
arrangement allows the carrier to always have
one hand free. II is to be used on hoard sbir ns
well on the battlefield. Mrs. Chadwick invent
ed this ingenious contriyance when at Rev West.

for the outbreak Of the war. 7'-isf.' F'se

planked shad at Marshall Hall.

Planked shad dinner, including the
famous Marshall Hall clam chowder. will

be sure to have an abundance of good
things to eat, and to thoroughly enjoy

prettiest just now, with its lawns of
emerald hue and the trees covered with
their luxuriant foliage. The sweet music
of Prof. Schroeder's band adds much to
the enjoyment Of the day. Steamer

THE MASCULINE RING.
1t Is Mo re in Vogue Than Ever and
Ir HnndsGmer.

- ~ nm sceeG "ah anu
Ir Hunds6mer.
Rings have never been more fashionable
for men than they are at present. No
logical cause can be discovered for it.
1t is not in all likelihood, due to anything
relating to the war. or the raw spring
weather, or the size of the Spring hats,
or even the high price of putty in New
Orleans. 1t is just fancy Of the mo-
ment, and even those who have long
disliked the wearing of rings by men will,
no doubt, accept the situation with grace
and perhaps sanction. 1t is noticeable
that the rings are mostly of the heavy
plain gold and seal variety. such as have
been worn in England for years, but
which, curiously enough, when one takes
Anglomania into account, have never
been very popular here.
Now many men are wearing these Eng
lish rings. or at least rings modelled upon
the English design. The smart shops
abound in them. Women even are wear
ing them. especially the tailor-made
maids. One great merit of such rings is
that they only appear in the best quality
of goods, being almost never initiated in
plated ware. When you see a man wear
ing such a ring you may be pretty sure
that both ring and man are the real thing.

He Met stcnewaIl Jackson,

A veteran of the civil war. badly mutt
lated as a result of his wounds, and very
drunk, was hauled into the Twelfth Street
station by Policeman Hollingberger this
morning. He gave his name as Charles
Powers, sixty years of age. and was
charged with intoxication. Powers was
minus his right arm; four fingers were
missing from his left hand: one eye was
gone, and other portions of his anatomy
was non est. He entered the police sta
tion singing in maudlin fashion the South
ern war song, It's Stonewan Jackson's
Way" Powers said he had served during
the war with Gen. Shields. When asked
where he received the wounds which so
terribly mutilated him, the old veteran
replied:
Il was with Shields when he run afoul
of Stonewall in the Shenandoah Valley"

Doctors now agree that
consumption is curable.
Three things, if taken to-
gether, will cure nearly every
case in the first stages; the
majority of cases more ad-
vanced; and . few of those
far advanced.
The first is, fresh air; the Sc

PREPARING DIXIE FOR SEA.
Spanish Spies Reported Near Nor
folk and Newport News.


Norfolk. Va, May 21.-More ammu-
milton was received on board the Dixie
yesterday, but there is still consid-
cradle quantity to come. Some of this
is expected today and the remainder
Sunday or Monday.
That received yesterday consisted
principally of 6-inch shrapnel and sa-
luting. powder. Lieut. Blount was kept
busy in the magazines, twelve feet be-
low the water line, storing the sup
plies.
The problem as to the time the Dixie
will put to sea is no nearer solution
than it was a month ago. She was ex-
pected to get away nearly three weeks
ago, but SO many things had to be don
that il was found impossible to get her
ready. The first detachment of her
crew was sent to Norfolk almost a
month ago, and the men are anxious
to get away from this neighborhood,
as is commander Davis.
From present indications it is not
likely that the ship will leave before
the middle of next week. as the Dixie
is to profit by the experience of the
Yosemite and will have part of her
deck plated with steel When the Yo-
her men We're given some practice with
her big guns. One of the after guns
was fired and the blast from the gun
ripped up the deck. As the Dixie's
guns are heavier than those of the Yo-
semitic and the blast from them is con-
siderably greater, it was decided to
protect the deck with a covering Of
steel SO as to prevent such an occur
renee on the Maryland boys vessel.
A number of rumors about the pres
ence of Spanish spies in the neighbor-
hood of Newport News and Norfolk
have been af1oat for a number of days
and a strong guard is posted in the
shipyard at all the Government mag
azines in this neighborhood and at the
Norfolk navy yard. No chances are be-
ing taken anywhere.
On the Dixie every possible precau-
tion is taken, and when the officers go
on deck duty at night they are armed
with heavy Colt revolvers. 1t would
go rather hard with any one found
prowling around the ship at night.

MADE GOOD PROGRESS.
The War Revenue RiIl Has Vow
Reached the Bopd Issue Clause.


The palm leaf fan made its first appear
ance this season in the Senate chamber
yesterday Despite the heat, however,
that body did a good days work on the
war revenue bill. The first reading of the
bill was concluded. a great many of the
minor differences settled, and the way
cleared for the discussion on the bond
question, which will come up on Mon
day and promises to be a lengthy one.
Mr.. Daniel spoke for two hours and
half on the bill. going over all of its prin-
cipal features, and stating his position.
He is strongly opposed 10 the Issuance of
bonds and doubtless will be heard fur
ther on that point.
Mr.. Daniel was followed by Senators
Morgan, Lodge, Allen, Aldrich, and VOL
colt, all of whom had slight objections
and amendments TO minor features of the
measure.
The Senate adjourned to meet on Mon
day next.

Men Are the More Extravag.nt.

1t is always amusing, says Vogue, to
hear the masculine accusation of extrav-
agance in small things brought against
women.
Not long ago the plan of an organiza-
tion composed chiefly of women being
mooted the question of dues arose, and a
man suggested quite casually that they be
placed at SO a year. Ten dollars a year,
Why, to most women $40 year is an i'm
mense sum, only to be expended after
judicious and careful calculation of how
it may be used to the best advantage,
while the matter-of-fact way in which It
was suggested was an apt illustration of
the masculine attitude of mind as re-
CARDS both large and small sums of
money.
Men may be capable of economy
doubtless some men are-but to most men
the very idea of the small economies
which arc second nature to women in gen.
eral is unknown. Men have their club
dues. usually pretty heavy, but who ever
heard of a man who wanted to Join a club
or casino at a country place for a few
weeks who was deferred by any consid-
GRAFTON of an expense of SO or so? They
do not stop to consider the relative ex-
pense of a dinner or luncheon at the
Waldorf or some less noted place; they
jump into cabs In a reckless way which
makes women shudder, and SO on all
along the line.
Whereas woman will walk to save car

penses closely and carefully ito scale;"
