March number of The Coming Age. One,
The Worlds Indebtedness to the Jcw.' by
the Rev. George G. Lorimer, is an exception
ally brilliant historical discussion, and the
reader is impressed with the fact that the
world is moving when he peruses so notable
tribute to the Israelite from one of the great
est Protestant divincs of the day. The other
contribution is the always scholarly pen of f.
p Powell, the historian and philosophical
writer, and is entitled concerning the SAN
ity of Napoleon" The author makes an in
tensely interesting paper, while showing the
effect OF that form OF insanity which has

The Portuguese from Delagoa bay

Of which was exemplified recently by
the murder of the French officers sent

Blue-Grass Bellies Will
Dress as They Please.

Most unusual OF any club which has yet
been heard from II that which lately has
been formed In Louisville, KY Twenty
two women, and report says that they are
all young and pretty, have formed them
selves into society for the PRONUNCIATION
of the latest of womans rights-the right
to be ugly. They do not mean by this that
they are going to cut on their noses or
otherwise disfigure themselves, but simply
that they are no longer going to dress or
demean themselves to please man.
The day." they recently announced,
when we can say to man that we don't
care whether he likes us or not. that day
we divide the world with him" To the
mere man this seems to be only the femi-
nine way OF saying that the day she ceases
to be woman she becomes as good as q
man, and II all women were thought so
man might well be terrified. As It IL, young
women will probably think twice before
they follow the fair Kentuckians' example,
for. after all, the women who remained
women would have 1t all their own way.
Every month the society meets and dis
cusses the progress that has been made in
their fight for women's right Any woman
who takes an oath that she never will be
guilty of any Of the arts in vogue for at
tracing mans smiles and appreciation Is
eligible for membership. Matrimony, how
ever. is not looked upon with disfavor.
Provided a woman can win husband
without resorting to any of the arts to
make herself attractive, she is perfectly at
liberty to do so. The only stipulation that
is imposed upon the members of the new
society is that the word obey be left out
of the marriage ceremony.
Only single women are eligible for men,
bership, and. strange to say, there are no
old maids or widows In the club

GOWNS AT THE HORSE SHOW
Brilliant Costumes Worn by the Devotees Of Fashion at New

there are few black and navy blue boz,

The smart women of the 400 are all
wearing beautiful old-fashioned beaded
bags-not the kind that one finds IN the
shops, but the real old-fashioned bags that
were carried by our grandmothers and
great-grandmothers Some of them are In
many colors and have scenes. flowers, birds
and animals worked out In the beads.
There were number of handsome check
ed velvet gowns worn by the younger wom-
en-, and these are the very newest fad OF
fashion.
The most striking thing the horse show
developed was the gorgeous waistcoat OF
the bowling swell. Every brilliant hue ever
seen appeared in those wonderful waist
coats. Mr.. Bob Gerry made the most brill
liant showing, and as Mr.. Gerry has just
come from London he must be taken as q
model. All who saw his brilliant orange
and-red and green-and-purple waistcoats
should hasten at once to a fashionable tall
or to have some made. Checks were the
proper design for these waistcoats, and
large checks, too. One may well describe
this as loud season In mems clothes, for
the gay waistcoast makes a mans whole
attire seem gorgeous.
