Broadway was astir yesterday, says
the New York Herald over news from
Georgia about the bill of Assembly

age should be null and void. The
grounds for such notification. as set
forth in the bill. are the use of scents.

tiers, artificial teeth. false hair, iron
stays. cOrsets, pads or paddings, hoops
or high heeled shoes, v cut waists.

1t was the general verdict that a
bill Of this sort wOulu have very lit
tie chance OF support in the New
York legislature. and even If one did
succeed in passing no man would in
woke its Offices. The young though
experienced woman who has general
charge of the most pretentious

AS to artificial teeth-if woman's
