OUR NEIGHBoRs' OPINIONS.

Oskaloosa Times: The MARSHALL
town Times-Republican takes slam
at Oskaloosa in connection with the
recent white slave sensation as fol-
lows: An undercurrent of excited
comment runs along the street, much
of it soto voce. There is expressed
fear that the cases will not be pushed
to the limit whether or not such fear
is justified. Rumor has 1t that COM
pIete investigation is likely to connect
some more or less prominent men
with the downfall and degradation of
these girls. That is the reason for
the soft pedal in conversation and
publicity" We don't believe it. There
may be much talk, but it is nothing
more. If there is an official in Ma
haska county who would put the soft
pedal on a case of this kind for any
reason we would like to know it. Os-
kaloOsa is no worse than Marshall
town and other places of similar size,
and there is not a citizen with a
spark of decency about him who does
not agree with the Times-Republican
that If the city is harboring any such
prominent men their place is in
Fort Madison behind the prison bars.

Fremont Gazette: In recent issue
of the Oskaloosa Times the state
ment was made in an article about
the 0skaloosa good roads movement
that 0ttumwa kept up the roads from
Fremont to that place and Oskaloosa
looked after the roads from Fremont
to that city, both Of which are wrong.
II. n. Wolfe. road boss Of Cedar
township, takes care OF the roads in
the township outside of Fremont and
Fremont looks after her own. And
we will say that there are no better
dirt roads than from the Wapello
county line north to Fremont, then
west 10 Cedar, all OF which Is in Ce-
dar township.

SAYS Professor Parker.

for women are irnpelled to their spectacular
methods. not because they are more highly
strung than men, but because they are
less responsive TO physical discomfort.

Professor Parker has from experiments
proved 10 his own satisfaction that tho
sense of feeling or touch is instead of a
single sense, a number of different senses
He has separated four of these into touch

variations Of feeling in the sensations Of

That these senses exist independently, or
at least may be divided and appear only
one at a time, has been proved, according
to Professor Parker, in skin grating

One OF the secrets Of successful hair
dressing is a good anchorage. Unless some
part of the hair is tied securely enough
to hold the entire structure the coiffure
will always be slipping into unbecoming
angles and will within a very short time
after being dressed begin TO look dis
hevelled. The women who look always as
if they had just come from the hair
dressers have learned the secret OF good
anchorage.

PARIS. January -
This season Of the year in the space Of
time between the fashions Of the early
winter and the verdict from Monte Carlo
regarding the success Of the tentative fash
ions launched there this month. is the
opportunity for the preparation OF gowns
for the summer time. and at the smart
playhouses In the last new plays gowns
have been worn offering to the knowing
suggestions for summer gownlng.
II seems safe to predict short. belted
Russian blouses for spring and summer
costumes Of linen. foulard ana tussah. The
length of the blouse skirt viii depend on
the figure of the wearer. On a slight
girlish figure the short skirted Russian
blouses are chic enough, but for uncertain
outlines half length is more becoming.
Foulard and soft taffeta gowns for sum
mer will have an eighteenth century air,
with their short ffounced skirts, full belted
or sashed corsaGes. short frilled sleeves
and necks cut round below d chemisette.
Velvet ribbon. wide and narrow. Will trim
them together with pretty silk ruches and
bias bands OF silk set on n soft puffs.
At the present moment there is an inter
esting mingling OF modes old and new.
The great Paris designers are clever
enough 10 evolve from this melange har-
u1oniOus results. Their greatest ef1ortS are
in the direction Of evening and grand le-
ception goWning. For street wear there is
cult of simplicity in costumes of plain
dark color. shaped on the simplest lines.
Eut IL is not uncommon TO see worn with
such costume furs valued al many thou
sands of francs: pearls and diamonds a
costly with aigrettes and ostrich feathers
worth a kings ransom.
On evening gowns of rich Powered silks,
with short, sweeping breadths, are softly
draped pannieTs. suggesting old pictures or
the beauties of the court Of Louis Ky
suggesting only for these modern pannieTs

widely bouffant. More closely copied are
gowns following the majestic splendors OF
the time Of Louis XIII with their square
cut corsages framing splendid lace. The
magnificent materials Of the present, equal
ling in beauty of texture and copying the
designs and melIowed tones of those seen
in museums. inevitably point to rare laces
and Jewels for the decoration Of the cor
sage, and to plain, untrimmed skirts. that
