mt DISCOURAGED, Either. Though HIS
Language Isn't So Violent as II Used
to Be-For Whom Does Woman Dress?
In the letters printed In THE Sun OF late
from men who reprove the general per-
versity and horrid extravaganza OF the
modern woman there is but one fault to
be found by a candid, sensible woman.
Though there is evidently much earnest
meas Of conviction in the writers, two OF
whom agree that "an opportunity Ii here
afforded for a great social propaganda,
still there is on the whole a certain lack OF
spirit in the language used that Is rather
disappointing considering the urgency OF
the cause. Lock 'em up is spiteful
rather than imposing, and the style OF the
letters in general suggests mere man with a
weather eye open for possible reprisals.
Now, this is not the first time in the worlds
history that a plague OF extravagant women
has been visited upon man for his sins,
and once or twice before also has this evil
been tackled by reformers. In excellent
style, too; and there are certain classical
models which should be studied by their
twentieth century SUCCESSORS. 1t may be
said in a general way, though, that the
grand style requires to be backed up by a
conscious superiority and to be expressed
by an authoritative stateliness of abuse,
qualifications with which the modern man
in the very nature Of things is not likely to
be gifted.
The prophet Isaiah is said to have flour
ished between $50 and 700 b. c., and at that
time he furnished the model for all future
diatribes against extravagant women.
Listen, you modern weaklings, to the
vigorous words with which the prophet
settles the fate Of round tires like the moon,
Of c~hangeable suits OF apparel, of bonnets,
earrings and crisping pins and think

II Knocked the Breath Out Of Him
When a Business Man Paid $25
Cash Factory Subscription.

1t is the duty OF gentleman man,
ed Scudder, over at Rushville, to col
lect the money from the wealthy tight
wads" of that town who, recently, I'M
der hypnotic pressure or something
equally as mysterious, were induced
to put their names to a subscription
paper for factory fund. Scudder is
said to have lost eighteen pounds since
he undertook the job of collecting this
money for, though they are ali good"
the strain upon his patience is under
mining his constitution. The follow
ing from the Republican therefore will
be better understood from the fore go
ing explanation:
r. F. Scudder, secretary Of the
Improvement Association, was sitting
in his office, yesterday, when A.
Kutche, of Richmond, proprietor Of
the Greek candy store i'll this city,
came in and said that he desired TO
subscribe $50 to the factory fund, and
he forthwith cracked down twenty
five plunkers."
''As the subscription was unsolic-
tied, and was leash down,"sit entire
ly took the breath out of Mr.. Scudder,
and he had to postpone his words OF
appreciation until later in the day"
There is not enough of this Amer
ican' spirit manifested among our citi
zens. and more especially among the
business men, for many have not yet
paid their subscriptions and many
have not even signified their intention
of doing so. It's provoking"

their feathers and bony substance

up unusual supplies of provender; that
toadstools on old logs have many wrin-
kles; that owls have retired to the for
est a month earlier than usual, and
that the chinwhiskers of farmers are
growing faster than was ever known
before. AS clincher it is reported
from Lancaster county that many
farmers have developed bony sub.
stance on their feet similar to that
which has equipped other domestic
fowl for tough winter.
From New Orleans comes the alarm
ing news that two distinct curls are
seen in the tail of the 'Dossum, and
that on moonlight nights rabbits are
heard drumming on hollow logs with
their hind feet splitting the juice of
mullen weed between their teeth
In West Virginia several serious af-
trays are reported between moonshin-

Anderson, Ind, Dec. 8.---(SpL)-A
an early hour this morning the bowls

Bagot.
Asbury left Knightstown with the
horses about O'Clock p. m. Yesterday.
The night was very cold and after rid
ing thirty-six miles in the saddle he
became suddenly stricken with cramps
and fell from the horse. Managing to
crawl into fence corner he wrapped
his overcoat about his head and lapsed
into Inconsistencies. nsighboring
farmers watch dog, attracted by the
noise of the passing horses, followed
them some distance down the road,
barking as he went. 1t was at this
time that Asbury was stricken from
his horse. The dog soon awakened his
master, Frank Pittsford, who lived
near the scene of the accident. by the
bowls, who called to him. The collie
ran yelping into the yard and back
up the road again to where the man
lay unconscious. Here he remained
and kept up his barking until Mr..
Pittsford put on his coat and followed
When Mr.. Pittsford found the man
there were but few signs of remaining
life. A. doctor was called from this
city, while Mrs. Pittsford did what she
could for the suffering man.
Asbury finally regained conscious
ness and was taken to his home in
Anderson to the physicians, statement

the freezing air and in the condition
which he was.

SPONGE PILLOWS

Il new industry, the making of mat
tresses, pillows, etc, Of sponge, has
been started In Florida. The sponge
material is cleansed of all foreign
matter by scrubbing process in large
tanks of water, then run through
wringers and the drying continued by
subjecting it to cold-air blast. 1t is
then shredded by machinery, sterilized
and rendered odorless by chemical
treatment, and subjected again to cold
air drying, when it is ready for use.
1t Is claimed that the sponge mat
tresses are only about one-third of the
weight and cost of the same size made
of hair; that they are thoroughly
springy, yet firm and durable, and
that they are especially sanitary, the
material being non-abrosbant of mois-
ture and carnations from the body.
A pillow is made measuring 10 by 26
inches which weighs only one pound,
feather pillows of the same size weigh
ing three pounds. Other articles are
a sponge cushion and toy sponge
ball as light as an inflated rubber ball.

The material used for skirts was
never more varied than at present.
They are tweed, covert, panama, eta
mine, brilliantine, mohair and wolfe,
but those who wish to be economical
will find nothing prettier than poplar
cloth and danish cloth, and these ma
terials are very durable.
One pretty skirt seen recently was
plated all around except a plain
panel in front, the plaits being stitched
to the depth of a yoke, from which
point the skirt flares widely. Another
has seven cores, the front gore ex-
tending to the back in the shape OF a
yoke, the lower portion being laid in
plaits and stitched to it.

HOW TO MAKE "FRENCH" HAND
KERCHIEES

The prettiest handkerchiefs are be-
ing made as fancy work out of plaid
and corded handkerchief linens which
came out in the spring for blouses and
shirtwaists and morning dresses.
French handkerchiefs, exactly like
them, have been popular for several
years, but, if you hemstitch, dupli-
Gates of the French ones may be
yours for the merest fraction of the
cost. For a yard of the stuff costs
less than a single made-up handker-
chief. And yard makes a good many
handkerchiefs.
Make them up with a narrow hem,
and, If you can, embroder one Or all
three of your initials in the middle of
one of the squares, setting the initial
across on a slant.
Or, if you've a short first name,
write it on with a soft pencil and en-
broider it over a thread. It's a pretty,
characteristic little touch that carries
with it the charm Of individuality.
The long, narrow strips of the lin
en- which may be left over in cutting
off the handkerchiefs will make pretty
collar and cuff sets, or lingerie ties to
wear with stiff, embroidered collars
