under which is a narrower lace edged

The planning and buying of the
trousseau lingerie is delight that all
women enjoy, for once only in life
time does the average woman have an
opportunity to revel to her hearts con-
tent among the dainty laces and lawns
that go to make up these fascinating
garments.
Almost any price may be spent on
this part of a trousseau, but five or six
hundred dollars is considered ample to
procure a complete set of beautiful
handmade lingerie Of the finest mate
rails, and for half that amount a very
lovely set may be obtained which is also
hand made, but not SO elaborate in de-
tail.
French nainsook and Persian lawn
are the materials most used, but for
the very finest garments q new ma
tertal called crystalline, which is ex-
Quisitely sheer, is employed.
Both nightgowns and chemises are
deliberately inset with lace butterflies,
flowers and other motifs that are sur.
rounded with lace insertion and COM
bined with just enough embroidery to
carry out the design.
Petticoats are also made in the same
way, but for them larger lace motifs
are used. They are made to fit snugly
about the hips, but are very full and
fluffy at the bottom, three distinct ruff

When P. T. Barnum said that the
American people loved to be hum
plugged, he told the truth. This is H.
Illustrated by the recent arrest and
trial of Mrs. Helen Post, who, from her
earnings as a faith-curist has estab-
hshed a small city in Florida and is
known from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific.
1t is doubtful whether any one
woman in the United States received
or sent out as much mail as did Mrs.
Post; the writer herself has received
literature from her. She published a
journal which told of the remarkable
cures she had made by absent treat
ment; in fact she did nearly all of her
business on the absent plan, save
when occasionally she would get to-
gether those she had cured in "conven-
ton" These conventions were mainly
glorification of the fair Helen, and
those who attended threw bouquets at
her during the entire session.
Now she has been indicted for using
the mails unlawfully One Of the wit
nesses said on the stand that all Mrs.
Post did was to open letters all day
long and take money out of them. This
gave her a pleasant occupation with
which she could combine business, as
one can give absent treatment and
open letters at the same time and not
find either effort very fatiguing
1t came out in the trial that Mrs.
Post had offered to grow new limbs
on the limbless for a payment of from
So to SO. The guileless, minus legs or
arms, sent their hard-earned dollars
to the psychic Mrs. Post, who probably
told them simply to wait, and If after
waiting an apparently sufficient time,
the guileless should pen a protest, Mrs.
Post would be able to say that their
mental state was such that it was i'm
possible to influence them. Beautiful
system wherein the curist never fails.
and the curee is at fault If desired
cure does not come off!
Mrs. Post, after having effected won
derful cures the country over and,
incidentally, accumulated about two
millions, has been hauled up by the
postoffice authorities and asked to ex-
plain her methods. This makes her
very indignant and interferes with her
business, as she must be in a very
calm frame of mind in order to in
6uence the absent.
For the benefit of the guileless who
desire a nearer view of this remark
aDIe woman, she mas built IN the CITY
Beautiful" the name given by the
disciples to Sea Breeze, the city which
rose at the bidding of Mrs. Post, a
large hotel where some Of the guile
less come and pay about SIG a day for
the precious privilege of looking upon
the features of Mrs. P.
Among other things which this re-
markable woman claims to be able to
do-at a distance-were to grow hair
hn11 IN.,s,, 80 ~,
separated couples, settle business diff
oulties and get a man out Of prison.
1t is easy to see that If Mrs. Post was
only spared long enough and the sup
ply of gullible folk held out, she was
by way of becoming many times a mil
lionaire. She is now seventy three.
All this proves that there are plenty

No less distinction than that OF
having been the first president OF the
first woman's Republican club is en-
joyed by Mrs. Mary Gridley. To es-
tablish this club, more than forty
years ago, took all the courage this
brave woman possessed. What q DIFF
ference today! Can one imagine Mrs.
Wentz, president of the Woman's Re-
publican club, or Mrs. Augustine ].
Wilson, president Of the Women's West
End Republican association, being es-
corted by armed men or police officers
to a meeting through fear of personal
violence? Yet such was the expert
ence of Mrs. GridIey when she organ
lied the first womAn's Republican club
in Southern Hl9neis. In addition to
having protectiQns on her march, she
was compelled to, give a countersign
to enter the club house.

her distinction. Miss Mary Pennington

was nervous little man. Having been
called upon at q certain public funo-

queen he began at the wrong time, just
in the middle of a prayer which the
bishop was reading, and in which he
made a somewhat heightened pause.

barrassed, but the king smiled and
nodded, and the queen gave him a
sweet and reassuring little smile Sir
Henry recovered himself, and at the
right time he made a fresh start, and
