Gated fairly good cotton raising conditions

of the belt. but insufficient moisture was
still complained OF in the southwest. The
cold wave in the middle west showed
signs Of extending TO the south. Yellow
fever news was plentiful and had the
effect Of making bulls and bears alike ex-

The Retort Hostile.

At a recent Washington reception
there was a short but sharp interchange
of courtesies between the wealthy wife
OF an congressman and the wife OF
far from rich bureau chief.
IL was a crowded afternoon affair.
and the ex-congressman's wife was as
sisting the hostess I'm receiving guests.
When the wife OF the bureau official
was presented. the hostess said to the
woman of the receiving party: You
know Mrs. Blank. don't you?" Ger
tainly." said the ex-congressman's wife.
II would know her anywhere by that
pink dress"
The cheeks OF the bureau officials
wife were suffused with a rosy glow, but
she turned on her tormentor and said.
Probably IL my husband had been
mixed up i'm as many questionable
transactions as yours, madam, IL would
not be necessary for me TO wear my
pink reception dress so often as to
cause comment"
Every word rang out clear and sharp
upon the ears of the astonished guests.
Inasmuch as there has been frequent
criticism of the ex-congressman for his
connection with questionable lobby
transactions. the force OF the bureau
officials wife's retort can readily be. i'm
agined.

have to pay a guinea for a pineapple,
when oranges bring outrageous prices
and are sour and even when fruit is to
the fore IL costs an awful lot, and you
get gooseberry tart, stewed gooseber-
ries and fresh gooseberries.
You smile in your sleeve at the wife
OF a clerk on 81 900 year in America

the best the woman with a great deal
of money can get in the land governed

Last week an Englishman who knows

some wonderfully good fish and three
dozen oysters from the river Mersey.
Those oysters were put IN a wash boiler
and ke@~ alive for four days on a diet
OF cornmeal and water. The fifth day
they were TO make their appearance at

fifth day IL was noticed that they ate
no breakfast. Later they went to the

woman's hips, those curves which are
so essentially feminine and which were
made so broad and strong for the pur-
pose of carrying burdens.
The dress reformer does not believe
this She thinks that everything ought
to be strung from the shoulders. You
are TO endure nasty, narrow tapes cut
ting your shoulders and making the
wearing of a low bodice an impossible

and everything else that you wear from
them. Ugh! It's awful. i never made

think-that is. that nature (the dress
reformer prefers to say nature. as she
counts God old fashioned) would have

broad shoulders If IL had been intended
that her burdens be carried from them,
but it was not. Consequently her
shoulders are medium and her hips

If the dress reformers would drop

courage of her convictions and say that
women need less pastry and more NUT
