When Ladie. Wore Masks.

In the seventeenth century ladies
wore masks In public, and great was
the variety of face screens that were
seen. Ladies who had "coralline" lips
preferred short masks, as was natural.
For others who wished TO hide the
lower part of the face the mask was
completed by chin piece Of linen,
which afterward passed under the
chin and over the ears. In 1882 new
mask called the mimi. from the Ital-
ian mimics. was all the rage and
threatened to usurp the place OF the
black one. 1t was even the cause of
violent quarrels between the ladies
who held TO the latter and those who
preferred the latest novelty. Some
years later 1t became the fashion 10
trim the upper part of the mask with
ruche of lace. to lengthen It with a
beard OF the same material and even
to cover II more or less with lace TO
the borders of the eyeholes. Young
ladies Of this period, however. fire.

ering the face simply with piece If

regular and insurgent. 1t is quite
an improvement, and it is more an
improvement because the classifi :
cation extends to both the leading
parties. In Iowa, for instance,
standpat and progressive had
become tiresome and quite mean
ingless. The new designations
are entirely comprehensive. The
insurgents chose the name for them
selves, and the regulars chose the
name for themselves; and therefore
there can be no obiectitious i'll feel
ing between them.
In speaking Of the South Dakota
postotiice appointments made last
week the Sioux City Journal says:
Indications are that at least one of
these appointments will be opposed
by the South Dakota Senators. 1t
is believed that Senator Gamble will
seek to prevent the confirmation Of
Harry Goddard, who is editor of the
Edgemont Express. Senator Craw-
ford also has his AK sharpened for
some of the South Dakota postofhce
nominations, and the prospects are
he will join Gamble in seeking to
control this patronage, or at least to
prevent the appointment of post
masters Objectionable to themselves.
Representatives Martin and Burke
stand in higher favor at the white
house, and it is quite probable the
president will take a hand in the
controversy if the South Dakota
senators show disposition to make
a wholesale slaughter of his post
office nominations for that state.
Eight South Dakota postoffices have
entered the presidential class
recently, owing to the prosperity of
the state, and Burke and Martin
have been called upon TO make
recommendations for the new
appointments to these offices. They
are Lennon, Ashton, Doland, Wau
bay, Summit, Lake Andes, Letcher
and Washington.
