continue to alter cases whenever they
can-that's what circumstances are
for; and if an impudent young hussy
strays in from the advertising pages
and dares to stand for Anna Hamlin
she will be shown her place at once,
because the American public will not
stand for anything vulgar.
No. indeed!
What would happen if another lead

ing" and the art editor in order to
save expense put in that familiar cut
of a lady bathing in the Jinldns' port
able celluloid bath tub?
Why, Anthony Comstock would foam
at the mouth. And rightly so. But
we are all so grateful at the absence
of dialect in the advertising sections
of our magazines that we let that lady
stand in her tub throughout the IL
months without uttering a word Of
protest.

backyard and boiler "corsets" Just be-
cause l thought it was pretty awful.
But our advertising men have
changed all that. They not only talk
about corsets, but they show US pic
lures of them, and to go stir further,
they show us pictures Of them in use.
The old convention as to the men,
ton of corsets has also disappeared
from fiction and one might easily
come across such a sentence as this:
Miss Postlethwaite had a wasp-like
waist ID there were not wanting
those who said her corsets caused her

But what would happen if picture

I know I'd stop my subscription at

pose that instead of drawing them in
proper evening dress-a dress re-
curing So degrees Fahr.-he used
lot of pictures from the advertising
section and put them in Jigger fan
nels, would he keep his position on the
staff a moment? No. of course not.
That would be a case where to put
on more clothes would be to spoil the
picture, and no one would recognize
the Four Hundred at an opera with
arctic habiliments upon them An
artist must be true to nature and he
must not be vulgar.
A friend of mine who has no regard
for peoples feelings actually cut out
q number Of the advertisements in the
back Of a magazine that has led us
on to a higher civilization for so years
or more, and when | saw he had done
it l applauded him. I said: Good. old
man; they're better out" But the
graceless chap with diabolical ingenui-
ty fitted each flannel lady and each
custodian of the bath into drawing
rooms devised by the staff artists Of
that magazine and l blushed for a
good half hour. We Americans will
not stand for semi-nudity in the wrong
place. It's all very well at the opera
or at ball or a swagger dinner, but
in the body of a reputable magazine
the day will never come when it will
be considered respectable. And the
advertisers themselves will be the first
to agree with me.
Back to your celluloid tub, oh. lady
OF the bath! We who are reading the
serials will not look upon you.

PRosAIc ORIGIN OF THE HALO.
Said to Have Been Placed Over stat.
ues of Saints to Preserve Them.

The origin of the halo dates back
to the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
Those years were rich in the building
OF churches and cathedrals. There
were erected around the outside of
the sacred edifices statues Of the
saints, placed under the caves. In
time the caretakers of the buildings
perceived that the discoloration from
the rains falling from the roofs dis
inquired the images. Accordingly they
placed over the tops Of them fiat wood
en- disks of sufficient size to protect
the statues. Giotto began to paint
pictures when boy, and his igno-
rance assumed the protecting disks as
an essential part of the saint. His
earliest pictures represent each sacred
figure topped off with what looks much
like the bottom of barrel. He ideal
lied this into a circle, dark at first,
but growing more luminous with each
successful production of his artistic
fancy, until he developed the circle
OF light that has come down I'M

stake and rider fence emblazoned on

One of the most pleasant meetings
of the Woman's Club for some time
took place yesterday afternoon at
the home OF Mrs. J. A. McLuen, when
the officers entertained the club.
The first part of the afternoon was
spent IN discussing plans for the en-
tertainment of the Western Slope
Federation. which meets in this city
in April. A number of things were
definitely planned for that time.
The club is looking forward with
sreat anticipation to this meeting
which will bring to our city distin-
guished women from all over the
state and will mean much. not only
to the club, but to all the women OF
the town. The local club is putting
forth every effort to make this fed
Grafton meeting a most delightful
time.
After this business was disposed OF
the club spent the afternoon most
pleasantly. The dining room was
pleasingly decorated in red carna-
-tions. Mrs. Leroy Hedges, expires
ident, and Mrs. Cole, president, pre-
sided at the tea table. Altogether
the event was most enjoyable and
all the members feel that they spent
profitable as well as a pleasant

Today Henry r. Rhone, as attor-
-ney for the Woodmen Investment
Company, filed an application for a
writ of certiorari in the case of the
Woodmen against the city of Grand
Junction, with the Mesa county dis
trict- court, the papers being filed
with District Clerk Primrose.
This will bring the celebrated
local fight into the higher court
The Woodmen Investment Com
pany sought to prevent the w. A.
Lynch & Company opening a saloon
on South Fifth street adjoining lots
owned by the Woodmen. The Wood
men lost out In its fight against the
granting of the license. The county
court granted a writ of certiorari,
and, reviewing the case. rendered a
decision which was a complete vic
tory for the Woodmen.
The saloon company cancelled the
old license, issued on June 13, and
secured a new license on September
13, after a change had been made
in the ownership of certain lots In
the block in which Is located the sa-
loon. and continued business.
The Woodmen then took the case
to the state supreme court; but
finding that 1t will be many months
before q decision could be had there
the case was Withdrawn from thai
court and now the district court is
asked to take it up.
Some more lively rounds in the
fight are expected.

Grand Junction. Feb. s, 1908.
With the desire to correct the i'm
preston likely to be conveyed by an
article In The Sentinel of last even
ing. written under q misconception
of the situation, We submit the fol-
lowing statement:
The building committee was duly
instructed by the board of directors
of the Y. M. G. A. to construct the
building. being given full authority
in all matters referring to such con-
Etruction.
As 1t was decided best to erect the
building on the separate contract
pan. the architect insisted upon a
| superintendent Of construction, pre-
ferably a competent local man, IA
iniliar with local conditions, who
could be on the spot at all times and
he secured at much less expense than
one from out of town.
The present superintendent was So
| iected at the instance Of the archi-
| tect, and was induced to act only
by the insistence of the architect and
the building committee overcoming g
mis- repeated refusals made upon the
ground of the sacrifice OF his owr
business interests and the fear OF
mistaken criticism of his motives anl
actions.
1t was exceedingly difficult to over
come his resistance.
The wisdom OF the committee II
its insistence has already been veri
fed by the saving many times ovel
CT the cost of the superintendent
1t Is only right to state that 1t wa,
distinctly understood that the entire
time of the superintendent could no
be and was not expected to be giver
to the building; that a large part Of
the time actually expended by him or
this work has been given freely tc
the detriment of his individual inter
ests, and that what has been pait
him Is very small recompense 70,
