Three Weeks Warns;
Affects Deprayed,
Says Times Reader
To the Editor Of The Washington Times

To the Editor Of The Washington Times
win you kindly grant me a little space
in your valuable evening paper, that 1
may express my opinion upon the new
book which has so shocked two con
tnents- To me the most startling thing
is that pure-minded woman could
write il and add that her husband ap-
proves her production.
Ny husband read the introduction then
laid down the book, saying he did not
care for any more Of 1.-THE being of the
opinion that there may be many people
no better than mOles. but he thought
there is still plenty of pure love in
pure surroundings and he preferred the
same IN books as elsewhere.
Ellnor Glyn says she did not write
for CHILDBIRTH will never hurt chill
dren. They will reach the end before
they understand half the fine phrases
and cunningly yelled Standardization
wonder what it's all about. In my opin-
ion that book can only harm those who
are naturally depraVed and il does not
always require three weeks to accom-
piish that. 1t is from real life that
youth draws its OpiniOnS-thinEs are

I co not doubt that Paul was uplifted

q Real LADY,

The most noticeable feature about a

self conspicuous IN the slightest degree.
She dresses, talks, walks, and acts
quietly She Is dressed 50 mOdestly and
appropriately that she IS not conspISu-
Gus.
She never adopts naring hats and
gaudy cOlOTs simply because they arc
the fashion; she never laughs 50 loudly
that people turn 70 look at her, and she
tries TO cultivate THAT most excellent
thing ip q wOman-a- soft voice
To iRs = true lady means TO be good
many things. IT means mOdesty, gell-
tIeuess. sclf-control, and thoughttulness
for others welfare.
Try 10 realize that IL is better TO be
ladylike than to be stylish when TO
be the latter means that you must wear
q ridiculous hat and impossible shoes.
All men admire and respect tho wOm-
an Who is q lady as well as a woman
They know that If she is q lady in the
tTuest sense OF the word she IS gentle,
and there is not a man living who docs

Oriental PajamaS
The Latest Dress
At Birthday Party

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O-The pa
jana has made it's public debut. once
a mere thing of utility dangling in
closet corner, 1t has attained social rec
ognition.
Last Friday was DR.. albert G. Kei
Iogg's foTty-second birthday. His wife
evolved a novel plan for celebrating
the event-a Chinese marty in the even
ing at their home. an Oriental enter
tainment in which nothing Chinese
should be omitted in costume, color or
music The guests were asked to come
suitably CARRIED. There would be no
costume exclusion laws restricting their
immigration over the Kellogg domestic
borders.
This explains why there are four
pairs OF gorgeous heliOtrope-hued pa
jamas tapping today on society's
clothes-line.
-Four OF the guests, after dining at
the Cosmos Club. donned silken pa
jamas. enCaSed the same in OvercOats,
and appeared before the startled eyes
Of the guests already assembled.
From the burning Of punk IN the
cleverIy simulated opium joint on the
upper floor TO the gay i decorations in
the supper room, where nearly every
thing Chinese, excepting bird nest
pudding and humming birds liverS,
was served, not to mention the scream

everybody had Il jolly time.

The Ideal figure

A young FrenchwCman has recently
sprung into notoriety on account OF her
wasp-lilIe waist Il is probably the
smallest in the world for a full grown
woman, and yet symmetry is preserved
in the form.
The waist Of Nadia MerOvitz measures
sixteen inches with . corset and seven
teen without. while her perfectly curved
hips measure thiTty-six and a half
inches and her height is five feet three
inches.
Nadia is the envy Of all Parisiennes.
and her prominence at the skating rink
and other public places has given un-
healthy impetus TO tight-Iacing. It is
very consoling to most OF us, but fear
lot wholly reliable, this talk about the
beauty Of a large waist and natures
preference for IT,
Those who are combating the small
waist madness refer their antagonists
TO Jane Dlrys and %aViere de Leka,
whom they call real women" Jane.
they say, mas never worn corset, and
her proportions, which sculptOrs ard
painters highly approve, are very clos
to Markets famous averages
These are. Hips, fOTIy-twO inches,
and waist, twenty-eight inches. DR.
STRAITS celebrated measurements give a
rather smarter figure: waist twenty
three inches; hips, thirty-eight inches
OF course, the height has much 70 30
with prOpOTtOns-everyth In fact.
Markets average gives Womans ideal
height triae over five feet two inches,
while DR.. STRAITS range up TO I'VE feet
seven inches.
According to the Strait rules Nadia's
waist should be twenty-five inches. If
her waist were that full we should never
have heard Of the human wasp. She
is thankful, no doubt, that she does
not possess the perfect scientific figure.
In Rostand's summing up he cries out:
Cannot the combined art OF all Paris
force these sane ideals upon our wOm-
eng" And Paul GeTvais answers with
complete misgivings. The wasp waist
itself pr0Claims the weak artistic educa-
ton of women. They must naturally
lack all sense Of harmony 10 attach to
mere sleI derness Of waist an idea of
grace and beauty-WithOut comprehend

trary, on the soft. rounded curves Of

MQn'S Greatest
Compliment

Ages ago, when woman sat high upon
a pedestal, chiYalrOUs knights danced
around her feet and looked up, wing
with one another in pretty speeches
They likened her unto an angel and q
saint to compensate her for the trying
position she must held on the top Of
the column.
But the woman of today. -he inteIIi-
sent woman, does not receive the bare
faced hattery in which men were wont,
years ago, TO indulge. If she looks well.
and man openly and frankly tells her
so, she is pleased, for she is still a
woman.
But if he tells her that she is an angel,
that she has a divine light In her eyes,
she laughs, and he-if he has not real
lied it befyre-knows she is right, She
is not an angel. and there S nothing
divine in the light IN her eyes.
Mans greatest compliment to woman
is 10 seek her cOmpanIOnShip, give her
his confidence, and ask hpr advice.
That Is the true compliment Of the
twentieth century, the sort woman
seeks.

Enthusiastic Rally.

Pleasure club hall was filled to
its capacity last night when J. I.
Morrison and the county legisla-
tive candidates spoke at the clos
ing rally of the Republican cam
paign. E. K. Hayes was chairman
of the meeting, and he made a
good one. Mr.. Morrison's speech
dealt with national and stat. mat
ters and the large audience listen
ed to it with rapt attention. His
explanation of the affairs OF the
state treasurer's office was convinc-
ing aud he made many votes for
Mr.. Hastings. B. P. Shawhan, l..
Y. Patch. J. NJ. Thompson, and
Mr.. Duval made short talks, dehn-
ing their position on important
matters, and especially as to local
option, which they declared they
would support and work for.

Pupils of Emmett Guests Of
Idaho Northern.

Though 10 C'clocK was annOunceuJ
as the time for the departure of the
train, as early as 8 O'Clock the littY
fellows and their big brothers ana
sisters began to arrive at the DEF
rot. Some of them looked as il they
had been up two hours, while others
were still trying to rub the sleepy
DUST out of their eyes. But they
were all happy with expectancy over
the grand good time in, store for
them. Some of them had never
even ridden on a train, and a major
ity had never set foot in Boise.
When the train rolled into the de-
Dot on time, the platform was a
mass of as bright a lot of school
children as ever enjoyed the privi-
lege of Uncle Sans splendid free
schools. There were four coaches
packed to the guards. Conduc-
tor Barnes wore smile that never
came off, and all the way to Nam
pa be was as great q parsonage to
most of his passengers as Is Santa
Claus at Christmas time.
At Nampa Mr.. Dewey was on
hand to welcome his little guests
and to accompany them to the capi-
tai city. He had evidently once been
kid himself, for he had his arms
full of good things to eat and bas-
kets piled full in reserve. At this
point there was hitch in the pro-
ceedings. The Short Line refused to
haul the cars free the balance of the
way. and the children were filled
with gloomy forebodings. But il
didn't last long. Ed Dewey paid
the freight, and inside of an hour
the fair grounds was ablaze with
bright eyes and resonant with the
laughter of happy rollicking chill
dren. At 8 o'clock in the evening
| the excursion reached home. No
an accident occurred to mar the
Ipleasure of the occasion. A few Of
| the older ones missed the train, moi
unwillingly it is believed, and did
mot return until the next day.
The treat was thoroughly enjoyed
by the children, and the generosit,
of the Idaho Northern management
lis highly appreciated by Emmett
people, young and old alike.

The election of Hughes as govern
or of New York is very much IN
doubt. He will receive very heavy
CUP state" vote, but the large cities
are against him. and only the over
whelming plurality which is pre-
dicted for Taft can pull him through.
In Illinois, Ohio, Connecticut and
West Virginia factional fights will
probably defeat the state tickets, but
in each state the Taft electoral vote
is regarded as safe. There is not a
shadow of a doubt about Kansas,
hut the old time majorities of $4,000
TO 1876, 900 will probably be cut down
10 between $4,000 and $4,000. Ac-
cording to latest reports, Nebrasks
is not safe for Bryan by any means,
and the electoral vote of Indiana is
figured for Taft.
In Idaho. it is difficult to get a line
on the result, That Taft and Brady
and most of the state ticket will be
victorious there seems to be little
Doubt To what extent Hastings
and Lansdon will be scratched can
not be estimated, and their election
will depend to large extent upor

ticket

Burned by Carbolic Acid.

Saturday afternoon by the report
that Joe Helfert's young son had
drank a quantity of carbolic acid
while his parents were up town.
Fortunately the report was exag-
gerated. The acid did not reach
the child mouth, but his lips ane
chin were burned. DIR. Clark wa:

ed the effects of the poison.
