"MRS. WIGGS" IN REAL LIFE
CLEVER SERIES OF LANTERN SLIDES ILLUSTRATE
- CAMS PRETTY STORY MADE FROM MRS. A. C..

SWIFT'S NEGATIVES.

Nearly everyone has read "Mrs. Wigs
of the Cabbage Patch and laughed over
the funny places and grown teary over the
sad and formed ones own idea of the
brave little woman, whose originality
showed itself in such. surprising ways.
The Wiggses ad the Ruggleses occupy, a
place by: themselves in the hearts Of peo-
pie and the former will soon be as well
known as the latter. The Ruggleses have
been favorite subjects for the dramatic
reader even since they appeared in print
and the Wiggses furnish as good ma
terial. "-.
Miss l.. B. Lincoln has made a cutting
of the story for public reading and the pic
lures which will illustrate it are from the
camera Of Mrs. A. G. Swift. They have
been at work for the past few weeks on
the story and the result will be given to
the public the last of October. Miss Lin
coin recently wrote to Alice Caldwell He
gan, the author Of Mrs. Wigs Of. the
Cabbage Patch" telling her of the plans
in regard to the book. In reply, Miss He
gan said that, the character Of Mrs. Wigs
was founded on facts for the most part,
though the facts were gathered from
many sources and at different times. ''The
story is simple chronicle of a simple life
and, hope, speaks for ITSELF" she writes.
Mrs. Swift has been wonderfully sue
cessful in the pictures and the compost
ton and posing are very natural. With

To the fact that the spectacle of bare
legged women have been seen at every
fashionable European resort this summer,

says in London lette rto wear stockings
on the beach was quite out of date.
Shoes, yes-frequently little French
heeled, embroidered, useless things, which
revealed the >1nstep and ankle completely,
but stockings-never! And this was not
confined to young girls or children.
Fashionable ladies, ready for afternoon
tea, in all the glory Of lace f1ounces, shade
hats burdened with frills and flowers,
ruffled f1chus, brooches, rings and
bangles, promenaded on the beach in tiny
embroidered bottines, and with the afore
mentioned lace founces held-wen. very
coquettishly high-so that 1t is plainly,
very plainly, to be seen that there is no
hosiery!
This is present day style in England,
but the other day poor American was
called to task by some fashionable English
women for running about the beach with
out a hat. "No lady in England ever goes
out doors without her head covered"
quoth the reproving British matron.
mo lady in America ever goes about
with her skirts hitched up to her knee
and her legs uncovered!" retorted the
American.
The British matron stared coldly. TT
is absurd to wear hosiery on the beach,
for there is nothing more miserable than
to get one stockings wet!'
'sWell," said the American, when I go
about in your pouring rain congratulate
myself that this way am at least keeping
my hat dry!'' d., .,..
OF course, in the end it all resolves
itself to this-that other places-other
manners. At first L was rather shocked at
the stockingless display Now have be-
come used to it. To English eyes 1t is
very undignified and declasse to go with
out hat. For the matter of that, both
hats and stockings may be counted among
the unnecessary membranes Of life.
Only we've grown used to 'em!

flats for SUBJECTS and children were bribed
with nickels and candy to serve as &C.
cessories. Every picture was taken from
life and the collection Of about thirty
was made in two weeks. 1t is the first
effort of the kind ever planned in Mime
apolis, as in the case Of 1.-THE Chinook
and similar affairs, the Illustrations were
gathered from different sources and were
not specially posed.
Mrs. Swift found Mrs. Wigg in her
kitchen in the person Of a woman who
works out by the day. She is from Ken
lucky and Is a happy-hearted, go-lucky
person, always looking on the bright side,
quite in the Wigs fashion. A Wellesley
college girl posed as the heroine and
Harry Lyon as Mr.. Bob. Mr.. Lyon is a
student in the university and a grandson
of Mrs. Frances Neal, the pioneer tenn
perance worker. The Wigs children were
found in the neighborhood and they en-
tered into the spirit Of the story with an
enthusiasm and lack of self-consciousness
that makes the pictures charming. The
pictures show the cabbage patch, the
Wigs cottage, Mrs. Wigs and Jimmie,
the Sunday school lesson, the pathetic
Christmas eve conference between Mrs.
Wigs and Jimmie, the arrival of the
Christmas visitor, the annexation of Gu
ba, the tumble in the rain barrel the
famous visit to the theater and the at

green paint. The series closes with the
bringing Of the ice cream and cake to Mrs.
Wigs in celebration of her birthday an
niversary From the negatives have been
made excellent lantern slides that round
out the story most effectively. ~
A member Of the Town and Country
club, Mrs. Swift has won recognition with
a camera less than three years and has
worked entirely by herself. She is SYM
pathetic and quick to catch the best
moods of ''subject' and her work has a
character that catches the eye and holds
it. There is real merit in her Cabbage
Patch pictures and the different charac-
tiers will be quickly recognized, for the
descriptions have been faithfully followed.

HALLOWEEN FR0LIC
A Spook Dance Would Please the FASH
ionabIe Dabbers In the
Occult

A pleasant party which could be planned
for the coming Halloween might be
spook dance. All sorts Of weird effects
could surprise the guests. all OF whom
might be asked to appear in mask and
domino There might be table turning
and spirit rapping, and a professional
clairvoyant and palmist might be hired to
entertain.
AS a dabbling in the occult Is one OF the
fashionable diversions of the moment, the
spook dance would undoubtedly be quite
interesting.
In the way of decorations the jack o
lantern, made of pumpkin, squash or Gu
cumber, should be omnipresent. Ears OF
field corn, in red and deep yellow; green
peppers and carrots, with sprays OF
narsley or asparagus, add greatly to the
color effect when artistically festooned
Naturally, the supper should be served
in quaint style, and the bill of fare might
be emblematic Of the tinle-honored oc-
casion, red green and yellow forming the
color scheme of the table. The witch
candle" should contribute the only light
besides the jack O. lanterns. Supper is
best served at 10 o'clock, which allows
sufficient time for those who wish to in
dulge in midnight ceremonies. >.

OF so radical nature were two OF
the changes decided upon that the
committee suggested each member
should talk over the new rules with
the football authorities at his particu-
lar college and II any objection was
raised word should be sent 10 the chair
man, Walter Camp. and q call for an
other meeting would be issued. II no
objection were raised the new rules
would be printed in the official football
guide for 1902
The most important revision was n
rule providing that the opposing teams
should change sides after each touch
down scored or field goal kicked.
The other radical change Is I'm the
kicking OF goal from touchdown.
The new rule provides for the bring
Ing out OF the bail as heretofore To
kicking distance, say 20 yards from

a line OF scrimmage, and the try for the
goal can be made by swapping the bal
