What Women Like.

Probably greater number Of so
ciety women would take to physical
culture if they knew that athletics
tends to make the waist smaller and
the shoulders broader. The fact has
been proved by measurements taken In
the Barbour gymnasium at the Uni
versity of Michigan. One chart picked
out at random showed that the young
woman subject effected a decrease Of
one inch hin the waist measure, her
shoulders were half an inch broader.

Missouri Court Allows H. T. Robinson
Custody Of Child Alleged to Have
Been Stolen Years Ago.
MOTHERS LONG FIGHT IN VAIN,
Father Secures Decision of the Court to Up
hold Decision on the Divorce Action.
~ChIId to be Placed In Convent.

The long fight for the possession of
Gertrude Nanette Robinson the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. 7. Robin
son which was alleged to have been
taken by stealth from Kenosha two
years ago has been settled and the
child will be left in the custody of the
father.
The fight ended at independence,
Mo, yesterday when Judge Evans Of
the circuit court there, handed down a
decision affirming the former decision
in which Robinson had been granted a
divorce and the custody of the child.
The long fight Of the mother to Sc
cure the custody Of the child had en-
listed the sympathy Of many people ia
the city and the courts of the western
state had been flooded with affidavits
to show the characters of the father
and mother :
The little girl was taken from her
home in this city more than two years
ago and taken to Kansas City. The
mother for time thought that the
child would be returned to her but
when the child failed to return she
employed detectives to search for it
and finally managed to locate it in
Kansas City. The stories of the moth
er enlisted the services of the Huma ne
Society of Kansas City but the case
was delayed from time to time and
finally taken to independence where
Robinson managed to secure verdict
giving him the custody of the child.
Mrs. Robinson had not been advised
of the divorce suit and had no know1-
edge that divorce had been granted
until many months after the decision
had been rendered but she at once
started an appeal from this decision.
In her petition she alleged that her
husband was professional gambler
and not fit person ohave the custody
of the little girl. This was supported
by many afidavits from ,Kenosha but
it is claimed that the husband manag
ed to bring forward many counter
afddavits and in this manner secured
the custody of the little girl.
The little girl will not remain with
the father but will be placed in a con
vent and educated ssby the Sisters Of
Charity.
1t is not expected that Mrs. Robin
son will return to Kenosha.

Summons and complaint was filed

for civil suit in which William Had

is small one, but some interest at

fact that Henry Weismann is the at

Mr.. Weismann was recently refused
the right to practice in the court on

it is probable that the old question
will be raised again.

Washington, Sept. 30.-An important

Labor, including President Gompers
and John Mitchell, head Of the n. M.

W. a. Miller, of the government print
ing office, who was dismissed because
he had been expelled from the local
bookbinders union, and afterwards
was reinst4.ted by direction of the
president, was the principal topic Of
discussion.
Labor Asked Cor the Conference.
The conference was granted at the
request of the labor leaders. The Mil
Ter case was very fully presented by
the members of the executive council,
at the close Of which the president
made a statement in which he an
nounced that his decision not to dis
miss Miller was final and that the
question of his personal fitness must
be settled in the regular routine Of adj
ministration. The statement is as fol
lows:
Must Be Governed by the Law.
Il thank you and your committee

Miss Clara Holmes who. during the
past two terms, has supervised music and
drawing in the schools of the district, sub
mits a report. in which she says that her
task has been pleasant owing to the inter-
est taken by the teachers. She says:
| In the upper grades the use of water
colors has been carried on to some extent,
perhaps not so largely as heretofore The
basis of all good work lies in the correct
representation of form, and | found it
necessary to give. much time to the prin.
ciples of perspective The type solids are
used as simple forms to discover these
principles and the pupils are led to see and
| apply them in the representation of com
mon objects The mechanical drawing
which has been introduced into the upper
| grades. this year. has been greatly en-
| joyed by the pupils, The interest shown
in this work and the intelligent use of
the instruments in the few weeks given
to this subject greatly exceeded my OK
pectations. Internationally, this construc-
tive work is of much value. 1t leads the
pupil to observe facts of form, not APP
pcarances, and to be accurate in recording
these facts. The purchase of few pho
tograDhs of famous pictures and of histor
ic ornament would greatly facilitate the
study of these subjects.
Excellent progress has been made in
music, this year. The songs are generally
given with good expression and the abil-
ity to think intervals is steadily improv-
ing. In the upper classes the new work
of the year has been largely technical and
the study of intervals, chords and musical
history has been introduced"
