why Do They Carry Pistols?

An exchange says it is totally "at
a loss to know why men and boys
who pretend to be gentlemen should
carry pistols" We can tell. Its be
cause their claims to being gentlemen
are only "a pretense, and in their
hearts and minds they totally lack
all that goes to make up a gentleman.
Webster defines gentleman as Zone
OF gentle or refined manners, a we'll
bred man, The man who carries a
pistol is simply a hoodlum, with bru-
tai mulderous instincts, who pro-
poses to be ready at the slightest
provocation to cowardly XIII and
murder u fellow-being. Heforfeits all
right to be considered as brave or
whenever he becomes such
a craven, and sneak as to think it is
at all necessary to carry pistol.
There is absolutely no need for any
body but an officer to carry a pistol
in this country, and the time has
come when our Judges should sit down
heavily upon the cowardly and per-
nicious practice. There is no. one
Ease in a hundred where man is JUS
tilted in having pistol in his posses
sion. To be convicted of the practice
of carrying concealed weapons should
1T once place man in the criminal
lass, and he should be SO dealt with
BY the courts.

by loo al applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
isonly one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely cIosed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten

though some women who are blessed
with perfectly formed heads and
abundant tresses like to adopt this
mode, which displays the beauty of
both as no other coiffure can. IL is
extremely artistic under those circum-
stances. The front hair is generally
separated from the braid, waved all
around. and taken back, in a loose
semi-pompadOur fashion. For evening
wear, a rose is caught beside the braid
high or low, as may be most becom-
ing.
The Janice Meredith" mode, that
appeared more than year ago, has
grown slowly but surely in favor with
fashionable folk. and the low, soft
coil. with one long curl dropping over
the shoulder, is now seen frequently
with evening dress. For this coiffure,
too. the rose at the side is the appro-
pirate ornament. Sometimes two or
three roses are arranged in a half gar
land, reaching to the top OF the braid.
They may be graduated in size, with
the largest one just behind the left
ear.
For the semi-high coiffure, the favor
ite ornament is a coronet Of flowers
or . ieweled bow of velvet or satin rib
bon. With this two or three short
thick curls fastened directly at the
back are often worn. and the middle
curl is shorter than the side when
three are worn.

e may see in any gathering Of fash

This is especially to be noticed in the

an in costume. The leading hair
|essers say that this is largely due

There is but little change in the
shape of new dress skirts, but as to
the fabric. it would seem almost i'm
possible to make a mistake in its fash
ioning, as the choice is now practically
without end. Among the novel or re-
peated fancies for the coming season
are smart little Gibson girl" models
formed of lace, net, and dainty sum-
mer textiles in cotton and silk. Breton
waists, with natty bands of trimming
crossing the front. in graded hori-
zontal Ines from chest to belt; French
cuirass styles. heavily boned,
closely fitted, and trimmed a la
militaire; Louis coats, with very smart
waistcoats formed of satin brocade or
of peau de sole. handsomely embroid-
cred or otherwise decorated; simple
but elegant Directoire corsages, with
cape-like collars and picturesque
sleeves: French round waists, with
their sashes or pretty chatelaine ef-
fects at the belt; new Russian blOuses,
fastened on the shoulder and under
the arms; quaint nuns waists, with
simple surplice folds from shoulder

Pretty Underwear Hints

The question of underwear is OF
never falling interest to women. The
undergarments for spring were never
more dainty. nor made up in finer
cambrics. 1t seems to be the thing to
have the fabrics as sheer as possible,
Notwithstanding the abuse they receive
after entering the hands of the laun-
dress.
Some night robes exhibited look like
lovely negngees; they are made with
short sleeves. flowing at the elbow, and
demi-decolletage chemises have re-
turned to greater life than ever before
Even those shown as simple affairs
are elaborate, with exquisite laces form
ing bow knots, butterflies, and all the
delightfully."- artistic cOnceits OF the
moment.
In choice Of underskirts one cannot
be too careful, as their cut, fit and
hang greatly affect the success Of the
appearance of the outer skirt. The
cambric and lawn skirts all have dust
ruftles now, and a deep flounce shaped
to give a very broad flare and spread
out at the back. They are trimmed
with an underilOunce in some cases TO
hold the dress well away from the feet.
Corset covers are always fascinating
subjects, and artful indeed are the
lovely designs. invariably giving the
long lines, though varied in elabOra-
tiOn. New are the china silk ones, with
three rows of exquisite lace across the
bust. A row of insertion hides the
buttons Of the front. Over the shoul-
ders are single straps of wash ribbon
fastening with a dainty bow where IL
meets the top of the cover. There is
a fiat belt of embroidered beading at
the waist line, through which ribbon
to match is run
Chemises are made from such sheer
materials that they hardly increase
ones size at all The prettiest are
Empire effects, and are cut with in
! sertiOns Of lace in vandykes. Summer
skirts Of Persian lawn that are ap-
pearing one by one are made as they
were last year, with the exception ot
an extra hounce or two. They com,
! IN such charming colors that S,omeI
take readily to them for wear witt
= negligees at home.
Dressing jackets for midsummer ar,
dainty conceits, and are made ND from
many pretty lawns on the shop coun
ters. The plain white sacuues ar,
/ fashioned with deep tucked collarl
! opened at the throat. Wash ribbons
in dainty colors tie at the neck, and
ends are attached to the sides and
