The News publishes today statements
from the president of the Christian En-
deavor Union of Providence and from the
Leader OF the Kings Daughters and Sons
of Rhode Island giving their opinion that
the societies over which they preside
would formally endorse at meetings to be
held soon the movement of The News
against ce-protected vice. The King $
Daughters and Sons number 1900 In Rhode
Island, and about two-thirds of these In
Providence county. The Christian En-
deavor Union embraces the local So
cieties in the Providence churches and the
membership is about 1000.
The clinching fact about these endorse
ments which are daily coming To The
News Is that no accredited representa-
tive of any social or charitable organi-
cation. who has been approached In this
matter has hesitated for a moment 10
stand for the movement. The vote is
practically unanimous so far as the re-
turns are in.

Have You a bay window

Nothing affords SO great an oppor-
tunity for decoration as a window in
recess. A low seat running around

artistic tapestry. is suggested at once.
After that growing plants should be
hung from above and curtains ar
ranged to make of the window a veri-
table cozy corner. OF course, this is
simple IL the recessed window is built
in the house. But the appearance of
a recess may be given to any window.
and it is advisable often in the case OF
enc in large bare room. Place a
couple of brass arms so they will jut
out from either side Of the window
and connect them in the front with
brass pole, over which some curtains
are draped. Curtains may also be hung
from the side arms. and the inner side
of theI1 partially concealed by tall
palms. The decorations should be fin
ished. of course, with window seat.

A cold plunge can be borne only by

A cold plunge can be borne only by
the robust and cold plunge before
breakfast should be taken by none but
the very vigorous. Cold baths should
never be taken when the body is ex-
hausted. Elderly people should not
take bath below 20 degrees Fahren-
heit. The best time for a warm bath
is just before retiring. since II increases
the flow of blood in the skin and opens
the pores. If woman is strong
enough. after taking a warm bath she
may turn on cold water. thus gradually
reducing the temperature of the water
until it is cold. or she may follow the
hot bath with cold shower bath.
The woman who wants to accomplish
the most and best work possible will
md that one hours rest at a fixed hour
every afternoon will do far more for
her than st!mulants. In order to OBJ
tain the greatest good from this hours
rest she must disrobe, as if it were
night, and then lie down In darkened
room and sleep for half hour or even
less. She will arise refreshed and in
vigorated. One whole day out of ten
spent in absolute rest is great re-
storer of strength and beauty as well
as cheerfulness.

There il a humorous side to the for
eign troubles In China. The chief en-
gineers Of the railway that II being
built through Shang-tunE province by
the Germans complained to tuot0l,
or local governor. that the people pulled
up and carried on the stakes that sur
veyors had driven into the ground to
guide the construction gangs In grad
ing the right Of way. 10 that he had
been compelled to do the work over,
three or four times. The ta0toi prom
ised that the mischief should stop, and
said that he would give the matter his
personal attention. The surveyors
1t out carefully with wooden pegs.
When they came back a few weeks
later they were disgusted to find that
every one OF the markers for miles had
disappeared The chief engineer in
the heat of his wrath rushed on 10 the
taOtOi to make complaint, and the lat
ter, with smile that was childlike mad
bland. attempted to soothc him, saying:
1.-THE stakes are all right. every one
of them; had my men go out and take
them all up and keep them safely until
you returned. and have got them tied
up in bundles for you"
The letter which brings this interest
ing anecdote all the way from Shnng-
tung relates that the engineer grabbed
the mandarin by the throat and nearly
shook his head off. although the lat
ter had done what he supposed to be
great favor with the best OF inten-
tions.

The Shirt MaI.t.


Very inviting are the displays of Ok
cloths for the shirt waist, and tbs
made-up models have already pushed
out of place their winter representa-,
tives in cloth, velvet and fine flannels.
We shall wear the comfortable woods,
aye, and even buy them for some time
to come. but already we are casting
speculative eyes upon the thinner sue
cessors. A pretty feature in the wash
waist for next summer is their sim
plicity. The human form divine is to
have a chance to breathe once more.
for the voluminous starchy fronts are
no more. Even those processing to be
loose have no surplus material. and
the greater number are unquestionably
perfectly plain, fitted over shoulders
and bust and but.oned simply down the
back. Red dotted swiss has the entire
front crossed in diamonds of white val
insertion. the undarted front just puck
cred a little at the belt. the plain
back closed with bullet-shaped pearl
buttons. The close sleeves have a
tight cuff, and the simple, unlined col
lar has little Oblong turnovers of Swiss
and Valenciennes lace. Another style
for these button-up-the-back waists is
to have the front entirely of tucking
and inserting. This is of the style
which is purchased ready tucked and
Joined. and saves infinite labor. besides
being nicer than the most careful home
seamstress could make 1t. Madras
waists. also so fastened. have slender
vest OF tucking. running down to
point at the waist. and have little re-
vers from the neck to the bust on each
side. These are also of tucking and
simply finished with a frill of narrow
lace. Large collars and full, fussy re-
yers are not shown at ALL There is
every evidence that the 1900 summer
girl proposes. above all, to be sweetiy
cleanly. Her waists say plainly enough
that it will be simple matter to wash
and iron them, and there need be no
lack in their number for that reason.
One feature which marks them as new
and far prettier than the old shirt
waists is the entire absence of yokes
OF any kind. even in the back. The
only semblance of yoke Is the one
which is trimmed and applied to the
shoulders, forming little epaulet over
the sleeves. The backs of the semi
full front waists are tucked and plated
to correspond with the front. There
are stiff linen cuffs. with rounded cor
ners and detachable collars. which can
be discarded altogether for the more
becoming stocks, and long silk scarfs
tied twice around the neck.
