The editor of the Emporia (Kan.) Times

Reducing Surplus Flesh.

Miss Lillian Russell spoke her mind re-
Gently about a very vexing question, and
incidentally she gave some very wise hints
which women in general, and stout ladies
in particular, will not inwardly digest. The
other day one OF the New York papers
printed a picture OF the fair Lillian with
fifty pounds Of excess weight literally cut
off her figure. This aroused Miss Russell's
righteous ire, and she instructed her law
yers to bring suit for damages. Imagine
me sitting down and allowing any butcher"
says Miss Lillian, ito carve fifty pounds
off my figure. 1 am a fairly good natured
woman, l think, but nothing that was ever
published about me, whether 1t was true
OF false, ever made me so angry. Then,
besides, these articles do a n incalculable
lot Of harm. It's all very we'll for men
to laugh at women's fear OF growing fat;
but their horror OF becoming ungainly
amounts in many instances to a tragedy.
Thousands Of women menacsd by this
horror read Of SOME prominent woman
achieving slimness by one OF these freak
experiments, and Immediately begin to try
the same sort OF stunt on themselves,
very frequently with disastrous results.
Take 1t from me, a woman who knows
what she is talking about on this subject,
at least: The woman who is going to
win back symmetry can only achieve 1t by
sheer self-dsnial, exercise and lard work"

Rosy-Cheeked Dutch Woman.


AT all i|nternatlonal meetings held in Eu-
rope, writes Ida Hustled Harper, much
more time is given to social festivities than
is allowed in the United States. Perhaps
this IL not always carried to such al extent
as at the last international peace confer
snce, which In The Hague is referred to as
the "eat congress-" But then, what is 80
conducive to peace as plenty OF good din
ners? AS a rude sessions here are held only
mornings and evenings, leaving the after
Moons free. Foreign women have conf
dentially told us tina when they went to
conventions in our country they were sur
feited with work and famlshed for food.
Well. our hustling proclivities must indeed
seem a little strenuous to them, and IT is
also true that we do not give them as much
to eat as they get at home.
At these meetings the women of all coun-
tries look more rosy and solid than the
Americans, and they declare that It is be-
cause we are underfed, but we prefer to
think it is the difference in climate and the
temperature of the houses in Europe that
gives the ruddier, healthier appearance, and
also the fact that they live much more out
of doors.
Our private opinion is that American
SAAAN 80 AApA ~PN ~ NSAAs AANAA gSNNA@At 80
figures in middle age han are those of
other countries, and this is worth some
sacrifice.
We are all, however, deeply appreciative
of the cordial hospitality which we receive
at these congresses abroad. It gives us
gllmpses Of a home life that even a long
%sojourn as tourists would not afford, and
this differs widely among the various ma
tons, The most elegant residences in Am
sterdam are situated upon the banks Of the
widest canals, some Of them facing the
street. with the garden at the back sloping
down to the waters edge and protected by
dense shrubbery; others separated from the
canal by the paved street and a row Of tall
trees, with a walled-in garden behind; and
in either case a complete privacy is assured
which seems impossible for American
homes.
