WALK ON YOUR KNEES.
Dressmaker Tells How to Get the
Grecian Bend.


New York, March Sits moral
sin TO the dressmaker for a woman to
| flop said Miss Elizabeth a. c. White,
president of the Dressmakers Pro-
tective Association. at the Masonic
temple. Whats worse. they'll never
get the Grecian bend if they do flop,
and without the Grecian bend they
| might as we'll be in darkest Africa for
all the attention they'll attract. All
they have to do to get it is to walk on
the ball of the foot, with the knees stiff
walking on the knees. that's what 1t
is. It's walking on the knees that gives
individuality to man or woman.
1T is not newt is natural. 1t was
the thing last year. but now they're
just beginning to recognize the fact
that every woman can get it. / don't
care how fat she is or how thin she is,
we'll give her a good figure if she'll
only have some carriage-and we don't
need hip pads bustles or anything ex
cept stiff knees.
Now. that's the point. They say
walk on the ball of your feet When
they first told me that / said they were
crazy, and I tried and tried, but didn't
seem to get it, but all of sudden ]
found myself walking on my knees, and
then had it. All the women will have
to do it this year to be in fashion. OF
course it is partly on account of the
new long skirts for indoors, but wait
till the women get out their new walk
ing skirts, which will be up to the tops
of their shoes. then they'll have to put
their best foot forward and the girl
who toes out or toes in or fops along
will be a sight"
There were several features of the
seventh semi-annual convention of the
dressnakers' association, which opened
Tuesday. which were not part Of for
mer conventions. One OF the big fea-
lures of former conventions, the prize
contests for exhibits from all over
America, has been omitted from the
program. Mrs Linda Wade, who came
from the west last year with batch
OF gowns and expressed her disapprov-
al of the judges in no uncertain tones
when she failed to receive prize. is
not present.

spokesman in the afternoon; mo more
prize contests. They pretty nearly
busted up the association. You see, we
couldn't give 500 prizes. and we could
not keep the peace unless we did.

Former President Cleveland Denies

These are troublous days for the for

They propose to furnish cold storage

to recoup itself by the proposed pro-

A MEMORABLE CAMPAIGN.
Esprit Lake Beacon.

lSpl[1l4 Lake ISdGOii.I
Just twenty years ago the legislature
was in the throes of prohibition labor.
Contemporary Observation-Disclosures very
interesting reading. Working thru the
republican party the temperance peo-
pie had secured the submission of the
prohibition amendment, which was car
ried by a majority OF $4,000, and defeat
ed In the courts on a technically. Then
statutory prohibition was demanded
and the republican party pledged it
honor upon the issue.
1t became very serious matter to
make good" 1t was easy in the sem
ate. as all republicans except those
from Dubuque, Davenport, Burlington
and Keokuk and one democrat gave
the bill thirty-five votes. In the house
came the tug of war. Only fifty-two
, republicans, one more than a consti-
tutional majority had been elected. A
number of republican constituencies
were opposed to the measure and
among republican members was much
muttering of opposition. In obedience
to the party demand most of the lead
ing daildes exhorted good faith per-
formance. When the tiral test came
ffty-one republicans and one democrat
voted aye and one republican was
sick
Regardless OF what has since occur
red the republican party could not have
been true to itself and to the people by
taking any other course. There was an
unmistakable demand for prohibitions
And this demand was we'll founded.

the old saloon everywhere was guilty or
rank violation of law 1t was fnsolent
and domineering. 1t was the recruit
ing station of political opposition to
everything averse to its low standards.
The mere fact that a man did not drink
was sufficient In many localities to call
down upon his political aspiration the
fierce antagonism Of the saloon forces.
At that time state wide prohibition had
not been tried, and 1t was so full OF
hone to the cause of honest reform and
of relief to the interests of common de-
cency as to invoke the earnest support
of a very large share of the best people
of the state. AT this distance from
that period of hot controversy the re-
publican party cannot be reasonably
charged with anything even so mild as
a political mistake, except 1t be mis-
take for a political party 20 take orders

tory campaigns was of much education
