WOMAN'S FANCY.
If it IncIines to Fine Clothes, She'll
Have 'em, Sure.

The new woman" has been exploit
ed and discussed, both pro and con,
SO extensively that the world is rath-
er familiar with her now. 1t has
found that because she is inclined
little toward athletics she is none the
less a woman; that because she has
developed somewhat the practical
side of her nature she is none the
less charming as a feminine enigma
that because she is little more indie
pendent than in the good old days of
the "clinging vine" she is even more
fascinating. People can become &C
customed to anything, and the new
woman has probably come to stay.
The world is now admitting that the
active and enthusiastic young girl on
the links, climbing the hills or dash.
ing pell nell along country byways on
horseback is much more admirable
than the trembling, cringing young
parlor plant of the elder day.
But there is one feature to the new
woman idea that is so decidedly at
variance with the popular conception
of wOmanhood that the world has not
yet accustomed itself to the change.
There is very manly movement on
the part of a portion of the fair sex
which is affiliated with the Woman's
Club Federation that is somewhat dis
concerning to most men and must be
positively frightful to most women.
There is disposition to question
woman's right-:ner divine right-to
fnery 1t is now claimed that elegant
attire is expensive; that plain clothes
are just as warm and do just as well.
Now, really, isn't that becoming
just a little bit too practical? Who
ever heard of striking down any por
ton of the woman kingdom because
it was too expensive? Portions have
been demolished because they were
deemed too cheap-but too expensive,
never!
We are constrained to seriously
question the propaganda against ele>
giant attire for women. Old Mother
Eve and her immediate daughters
taught the world to look upon the
woman as a peacock-radiant, proud,
and beautiful. And through all the
changing years from Egypt and Rome
down through the dark ages and on
until today the mind of woman has
turned toward clothes. And we are
glad of it. There is nothing in crea-
ton SO disgusting as a slovenly dress
ed woman; nothing so dainty and at
tractive as one becomingly gowned.
And SO we raise our masculine voice
in protest against this rather unusual
movement OF the Federation of Won
ans Club-Terre Haute Star.

matte life in this era of widespread in
telligence, it seems absurd, And yet
the story has gone out from Paris that
the recall of Sir Edmund MOnson, the
British ambassador, is due to the COM
mon belief that he has 'the evil eye"
Strange stories and odd condolences
are cited as proof of the possession by
this experienced diplomat of that opti-
cal influence so much dreaded in the
middle ages.
Nine years ago Monsoon was sent to
Paris. Prior to that he had been in
Belgium. While he was there many
of the misfortunes of that royal fam
lily occurred. The Queens unhappi-
ness was we'll known. Her eldest
daughter, Princess Stephanie, lost her
husband, Crown Prince Rudolph,
under tragic circumstances. Her Sec
Ond daughter, Louise, was locked up
in an insane asylum. From Austria,
Greece and other countries where
Monsoon has served come similar
stories through which the supersti-
ton is interviewer. In Paris his fell
low diplomats have fought shy of
him and social campaigns have been
curtailed from fear of his alleged
malevOlent optical influence. Gen
eral Porter and he have been barely
able to observe diplomatic decorum.
Archbishop Lorenzelli, the Vatican
representative and one of the ablest
speakers in Europe, once broke down
under the steady gaze of the English
man. The Italian embassy are in
continual state Of perturbation when
he is around.
These stories are widely circulated.
The truth Of the matter undoubtedly
is that there is that in Monson's per-
sonality and manner which causes
embarrassment and discomfort to
those in his presence. An overbearing
disposition would have the same eff
feet as the evil eye, so called. The
strangest thing about the whole affair
is that a fiction of the middle ages
could be successfully applied in this
day. There is no doubt that Paris be-
lieves in the ''evil eye" story.

BARRIERS at Work in Streets.

The topsy-turvey methods of China
are curiously illustrated in the case
of the Pekin barber who, instead of
waiting for customers, goes out to
seek them. He carries his shaving ap-
paratus and a stool with him and, like
an American milkman, rings bell to
attract the attention of likely custom
ers. The man who wishes to be shay
ed halls the barber, who places his
stool on the ground for the custom
er's use, puts a bow of water on the
little stove he carries, and, having
lathered his brush, sets to work. The
charge is not high. For sum equiv
alent to halfpenny he shaves the
customers head and smooths out his
eyebrows.-Tit Bits.

had learned by heart all the three books
that were used, and was often appoint
ed by the teacher to conduct the school.
At Is years he came to America, land
ing in Madison, penniless and friendless,
a total stranger, with a debt for his pas
sage over staring him in the face. The
first summer he worked on a farm, then
he learned the tailor's trade, which he
followed for few years. Next he be-
came clerk in store, and five years
after landing he opened a general store
of his own at Soldiers Grove, which has
since been his home. He prospered, but
in 1888 incendiaries destroyed his store,
entailing loss of $4,000 above all in
surance. In spite of this heavy setback
he rebuilt his store, and is now better to
do than ever. Mr.. Davidson early be-
came a political leader, and was elected
the first president of Soldiers Grove. He
showed his popularity and political
strength when in 1892 a nomination for
the Legislature, which he sought to
avoid, was thrust upon him. He was
elected, but practically every other Re-
publican candidate in the county was de-
feated. He was twice reelected and
made his impress as a legislator by in
Producing and finally carrying through,
after many defeats, the bills increasing
the taxation on express, sleeping car, tel
ephOne and like corporations. In 1898
he was elected State treasurer and re-
elected in 1900. Two years ago he was
elected Lieutenant Governor, being re-
elected this fall. His family consists of
a wife and two daughters.
