Getting Ready for School.

Prof. VIII NJ. Green of Denton,
Tex, arrived this morning, and is
arranging with Prof. Wells for the
years work. Prof. Green taught
last year at Salina, Tex He will
have charge this year of the Polk
street school
The Amarillo schools will begin
on September II. The new high
school building on Johnson street is
rapidly nearing completion. 1t will
probably be in readiness by Septem-
Der /, but the date for opening has
been placed late, so as to allow for
delay On account OF its location,
not many Of our citizens have visit
cd The new building, but it is a struc-
ture worthy in design and finish Of
Amarillo, and would do credit to
cities of larger size.
Sixteen teachers are now on the
faculty Of the Amarillo schools, and
it Is likely that this number will have
to be increased at once. The mem
bers of the teaching force have been
rocuperaing this summer with
Chautauquas, summer schools and
vacation tours, and will be ready
with fresh training for the next
years work.

FRIDAY, AUd. 3, 1000,
THE PEEKhBOO WAIST.

II the pcokahoo waist is a Mt sub
iect for discussion from the rlupih
perhaps II may hc in order To say a
few words upon this subject in a
newspaper. lust why there should
he all this ado about the pcekahoo
waist seems past finding out, Per
haps it is another ease Of the fair
ladys garter Evil TO him who evil
thinks Surely TO tho pure IN
mind all things are pure, and IN all
likelihood, there are many thousands
who never thought Of evil who nov
er noticed a peekaboo waist until the
crusade against them hogan
Il tho ultra good rcaIly wanted to
drive out tho pcukaboo waist, not to
speak about the perforated stocking,
the right way to go about 1t would
have been TO ignore It, The kind Of
criticism that has been hCapcd upon
these unfortunate oponwork gar
ments carries with II an element of
envy or praise, and tho woman Is
not 80 very different from tho man.
She Is not easily driven. She requires
u little diplomacy, perhaps quite
considerable, or, rather, he requires
It, who would have Just one woman,
not to think Of a whole host Of wo-
men, adopt his views or aCCCdS To his
wishes. And more especially Is this
the case where articles of dress or
styles are concerned. In whatever
words the criticism is couchod,
the impression must have always
have been created that whatever the
critics opinion, tho effect Of the
peokaboo waist Is becoming And
that settles II. And the more GER
tain people thunder against the open
work apparel, the more popular 1t
will become For, after all, II is the
dearest wish of almost every wom-
ans heart and Of most mems, also
10 appear to tho best advantage, TO
look well. Hence--hands of the
peokaboo waist.
And, besides, what right have men
TO criucise? Woman is surely pro-
crossing very rapidly. And she has
long since ceased to harken to mems
dictaton, and to govern herself ac-
cordingly, Suppose she began to
criticise mems wearing apparel, sure
ly she would find sufficient to keep
her busy, and man would be kept
pretty busy defending himself and
his unspoakably ugly garb, instead
of pointing the finger of scorn at the
becoming pcekaboo waist. With
mans garb becoming uglier every
year and with ugliness surely a
great sin, as compared with the holt
ness of the peokaboo waist, it be-
hooyes the male critic of female garb
to hold his peace, or, in the parancc
of the day GO way back and sit
down" The evil, if evil there be, is
not in the waist and the wearer, but
rather in the thoughts Of him who
looks upon the waist and throws up
his hands in more or less holy hor-
ror and proceeds to eXcorate the
wearSr.
