DELICATE QUESTION IN COURT.
How high can a woman hold her
skirt on a damp night and still re-
main a lady?
It was up to Judge Neelen. in the
District Court at Milwaukee, Wis, to
decide 1t, and he made a ruling in
which he fined Miss May Walters SIS
for getting past the lady" stage.
Patrolman Becker was the Ell
quette expert and he said that when
a woman's skirt was up forteen inches
in the rear and nine in front and had
a waist attached which was more or
less ~peekaboo, the limit had been
reached.
The court agreed with Becker that
a dress could be held too high, and
he approved of the arrest OF Miss
Walters.
The patrolman added that he had
looked sharply and had seen no fluffy
ruf1e stuff under the outer skirt. and
that was one reason why he thought
the gown was deficient.

Tte Young Lady Across the Way.

2 '~*~v' = =
= ~- HE young lady across the way says she overheard her
father say he was worried to death about the condf-
ton of his books, and she guessed she'd give him a
~ set OF James Whitcomb Riley's works for Christmas.
The young lady across the way says she saw in
the Daper that social conditions were responsible for most or
the crimes in this country, and it did seem to her as II we
ought to be more careful about who got into society.
The young lady across the way says she saw in the paper
that a gentleman had just paid $4,000 for a seat on the New
YORK Stock Exchange, and wasn't it terrible how extravagant
neoDle were in New York; but OF course she supposed it
meant a box for the season.
Thinking to stimulate her interest in the greater ques-
tions of the day, we asked the young lady across the way no"
she thought the new currency ought to be secured, and she
said for her part she generally pinned 1t il the front u ner
dress with a big safety pin.
The young lady across the way says she noticed II
the paper that the consumption OF beer was on the increase,
and wasn't it terrible how people would commune . Drink
things that brought on such awful diseases as that.

vounr lady across the way, and she said yes, she did think it

TO GIRLS ABOUT TO MARRY.

~ a14NA0 AoOO1 III AI0
To girls about to marry, one would
tender the advice that they study
their intended victim at breakfast. If
be is one feeding like forty. reject
him as the direct descendant of
Circe's herd of swine. If he is mel
ancholy, beware Of the abrupt curves
OF his temperament If he be hois-
ferrous and facetious, remember that
an empty drum gives the greatest re-
verberation, and a chatterbox at eight
O'Clock in the morning is as tiresome
as a chanticleer at three O'Clock in
the morning. By their breakfast you
shall know them.-Saturday Review.
WOMEN NOT TO BE JEWEL SHOPS
It is likely the present year will
be marked by the wearing of few
jewels. There has been a tendency
in this direction recently in Europe.
where the women of exact fashion at
present limit themselves to two rings
in addition to their wedding rings.
These rings, too, r in best taste
when set with single stones. Big,
SNOWY rings with many stones are
not permissible, and the woman using
them violates n of the 2ost arbl-
trary of fashions DEGREES The rule
also Is for scant show of gems In the
hair and at the throat Tiaras re
posed untouched in jewel cases: small
hair ornaments of diamonds and
pearls are worn instead.-New York

COMPENSATION OF DRESS.

It was decreed by the convention
of 1918 and the Treaty of Washing
ton of 1876 that the boundary be-
tween the United States and Canada
from the Lake of the Woods to the
Pacifc-a distance of 1870 miles
| should be the forty-ninth parallel.
The surveyors who have lately COM
| pleted the location of the boundary
lave found that the astronomical par
allel varies from a direct circle
around the earth, and Professor
Otto Klotz explains the curious fact
that the line, instead of being
straight, is at n point eight hun
dred feet south of the direct circle
and at another place six hundred feet
north. It was decided that the astro-
nomical parallel-or line through
places where the pole is forty-one de-
grees from the zenith-should be the
accepted boundary. This decision
was followed, but local attraction in
some places defects the plumb line
and therefore the zenith, and the as
Economical forty-ninth parallel proves
to be a quite irregular line.

There is nothing that enables us to
defy the natural consequences of
Time so successfully, provided we
give enough attention to the poten-
tialities of. and to the individuality
in, dress. 1t is a duty that women
owe to society to make the best of
themselves. But a great deal of the
success Of a gown depends on the de-
gree to which it is in harmony with
its surroundings. To be overdressed
is worse than being shabbily dressed.
However beautiful a frock may be, If
1t strikes a ~discordant note with its
surroundings much of its beauty will
be lost-Lad:es' Field.

co-operation in England.

The vitality of the cooperative movement in England, which took its rise many years ago. in a small way at Rochdale, continues undiminished. The growth of the movement is shown strikingly by the fact that, while in 1883 there were IS cooperative socie- ties doing a business of $7S2,295 at a profit of S43,949, in 1908, there were 112 such societies, doing a business of S20,510,009 at a profit of $SS,S90. AL though in the last five years there has been a decline in the number of so- cieties from 125 to 112. there has been an increase in the volume of business transacted and in resulting profits. The decrease in the number of the organizations is attributable in part to the purchase of some of the con- cerns by the English wholesale so ciety. Copartnership in housing is also growing very popular in England. Tn 1906 there were three tenant socie- ties with a capital of $499,12s, which in that year expended S249,033 on building, while in 1908 the number of these concerns trebled and the sum of S729,999 was expended on building. Through these societies mechanics, artisans and clerks are enabled to se- cure homes, and at the same time the habit of thrift is strongly inculcated. -ZiOn'S Herald
