"Rrudery and Pantalettes,n

What certain famous American
termed the mock modesty of prudery
and pantalettes" has broken out over
IN Trenton. The Trenton Industrial
School Of Arts was the scene of the
outbreak. For many years the inst!.
tuition has struggled along In obscur-
ity. unknown, unhonored and unsung.
Didnna. Apollo. Eaphne and many 9th.
er classic figures were to be seen in
the art gallery Of the school-that is,
they were there to be seen, although
few really did see them.
This condition of fnnocuous desue.
tude was hateful and abhorrent to the
directors of the institution. They de.
lermined That something must be done
TO attract the attention of the outside
world. II was then that one OF the
most observing of the directors sat up
and took notice. It occurred to him
that Apollo wbuId be greatly improy.
ed by the addition of pair OF trous-
ers, that Venus was sadly in need Of
a tailor.made suit, That Daphne would
be more modest in a union suit and
that flowing gown would best set
OF the beauties of Diana. These re-
forms accomplished. the zeal of the
directors became more acute. All pic.
lures with even suggestion ON null.
ity, were turned to the walls. Then
the news OF the moral crusade" was
howled from the housetops. and tho
great rush TO see Trenton's moral"
art gallery was on.
or course, 1t is unlikely that any
one had ever considered the statutes
and pictures obscene until that infor-
nation was supplied by the all.wlse
directors OF the art school. 1t Is well
that we have %ln our midst such pub,
lic.splrited censors OF art. Otherwise
we might gaze upon beauty unadorn:

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS.
Do Hair No Good, But often Cause II
to Fall Out.

Many hair preparations are fake
because they are merely scalp irri.
tants. They often cause dryness,
baking the hair brittle. and. finally.
lifeless. Dandrun is the cause OF all
triuble with hair. 1t is germ dis.

as 1t digs 10 the root Of the hair.
where it destroys the hairs vitality,
causing 1t to fall out. To cure dand-
ruff. the germ must be killed. "De-

NEW YORK. Dec. Perhaps the
most important event Of the coming
week, from a political standpoint, will
be the meeting Of the Democratic ma:
tional committee in Washington next
Thursday, to select a place and time
for the national Democratic convention
next year. st. Louis. Louisville. Gin.
cinnati, Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapolis,
Denver and Atlantic City are among
the applicants for the honor OF enter.
tanning the convention. and all will
probaly send representatives TO next
weeks committee meeting. 1t is un-
derstood that st. Louis Is favored By
the Bryan adherents and that they will
swing their influence in favor Of that
city. Louisville and Denver are also
making strong bids for the gathering,
and Chicago will probably put UP a
strong fight.
