An Elaborate Cloth Skirt.

CLOTH skirts Tor spring costumes are,
many Of them, most elaborate. There
is one design in blue serge that is par
ticularly effective and, Of course, par
tlcularly expensive, as we'll. The
skirt is cut with a gored effect and is
very daring around the foot. Down the
front breadth at either side 90 three OF
four lines of black braid. These lines
OF braid turn and go around the skirt
about a quarter OF a yard from the foot,
and above the three lines Of braid is a
mass OF braiding in narrow black SOU
tache and narrow black satin folds.

sign. This skirt is one of the French
models; has not yet become
IS very handsome, but has the disad-
vantage that it cuts the figure and
makes a short person look shorter.
For ordinary everyday wear and a
useful investment the bell skirt is still
the favorite, but it can be trimmed
with lines Of braid that start from the
hem at the back Of the skirt, extend

A WOlnan'S Reform in Illinois.

Illinois club ONE have under
taken a crusade against. the use of
woman's face or figure for advertising
purposes. It Is proposed that no
woman's face, in other words, shall
be any mans fortune. This unique
reform Of the scandalized fair sex
bobbed up %serenely at a recent meet
ing Of the Fourteenth Congressional
District Federation of Women's
Clubs, held at Lewistown. The petl-
tion-loving club women who were
present compared advertising pic
lures and promptly decided they were
enough to drive the youth of..America
to corruption. Thereupon they drew
upa stringent set Of resolutions, which
have since been printed for the pur-
pose OF distribution among the wom-
EMS clubs of the State. After these
"face and figure resolutions are suf-
ficiently supported by feminine sig
natures they will be turned over to
their dear masculine friends-the
lawmakers i'll the State Legislature
with an earnest little prayer that
there be issued a stern manifesto
against the use Of woman likeness for
commercial purposes. = Chicago

Massage a Beauty Restorer.

The marriage Of Adelina Patti will
make the massage business more
popular than ever, for she first be-
came acquainted with her new hus-
band by employing him in hat line.
1t has become very extensive IN Wash
ington and all the cities of the East,
and IN the West also, and is now re-
garded by rich and self-indulgent
people as n of the necessaries of
life. The fashionable physicians in
Chicago prescribe it as a cure for the
grip, which leaves the patient weak
and enervated. Nothing seems to
take the spirit out of a man so much,
and there is no inclination for the ex-
ercise that is absolutely Necessary for
the recovery Of strength.
A new feature OF the massage treat
ment, as practiced in Chicago, is to
restore youth and beauty in women
who are showing signs of age. A
good-loOking ONE breads nothing
SO much as wrinkles, and a massuer
there guarantees to remove them by
an application Of hot water and the
pressure Of her fingers upon the flesh.
The operation requires a good deal Of
patience and sacrifice, however, be-
cause while under treatment the
patients face is swathed in bandages
of hot water for several days and she
can eat nothing but liquid food taken
through a tube. There have been at
least three successful operations of
this kind. One lady in Washington,
who a year ago showed unmistakable
signs of age, blossomed out last fall

THE SONG on THE BueLE.

Do you hear my warning cryp
The bonds OF pence are broken the God OF
War hath spoken.
His lightning flames on high;
Haste swiftly to the reapiDg where the
scythe Of Death is sweeping,
Anc the wheat stands ripe and red:
Soon the gray dawn Will be creeping
where silently. lie sleeping
Our grim and soornful dead.
Fast 5he young recruits are thronging
from country and from town

Midst moaning of the dying, where the
leaden hail is flying,
There ia glory for you ALI
Defiance sternly iii nging my strident
tones are ringing
Ger distant vale and hill;
What though this morn awaking q mil
lion hearts are brealSingp ,
My voice shall not be still. q
You shall hear my summons shriekine
Ger the tumult OF the strife
AS the troops go swinging by:
Though the shaft sred ranks be wave ring
my notes shall not be quayeriDg
When the scattered squadrons fly;
l shall mock you with my calling while
found you wounded falling,
Brave comrades die like men;
Til the lust Of blood shall win you, and
the demon spirit in you
Shall turn and fight again.
