has suggested the wrong metal. Only
brass would be properly expressive.

The third of the series of five Ma
sonic dancing parties was given last
evening by Trio and Rock Island
lodges at Masonic temple, a company
of 40 couples being present. Music
was furnished by the Criterion orches-
ira. During the evening c. G. Beeson

that four gentlemen present had been
given souvenirs for the ladies who
might be dancing with them at one of
the dances. During a circle two-step
a call was given to cease dancing. and
the gentlemen who had the souvenirs
stepped to the center of the floor with
the ladies who were dancing with
them at the time, and presented the
souvenirs, which were four fans. The
idea was unique and caused much
amusement. Special preparations have
been made for the next dance in the
series.

THE INNER TRUTH.

IT'S truly quite defensible that modern
dress is sensible-simple charm.
We doubt, indeed, if Phideas would
make remarks invidious
Or view the line Of beauty with a feel
ing of alarm.
A lady, to be fetching, seems no more
mass of stretching seams.
But her appearance manifests pur-
pose that is sane;
A ripping liquefaction is her clothing,
not fraction is
Warped to wasp-like waist line that
we always have called vain.
All! no. Our observation goes-but not
our information goes
To show us that great reform af
fects the mode Of dress.
The mystic style-producer makes the
dresses all of 1oOser makes
That give the waist a clever sort of
artless gracefulness.
But! Don't you be deceived thereby.
The ladies aren't relieved thereby.
Don't hug the fond delusion that
they're letting out the waist
The princess gowns may sheath it all;
but, bark, you! underneath it all
There is the old compression; they
are just as tightly laced,

TREE FESTIVAL REVIVED.
New Italian Minister of Education
Urges Paintings.

Rome.-Signor Credaro, the new
minister of education, has issued a
circular to the projects and school
masters throughout italy drawing
their attention to the desirability of
celebrating anew that FESTIVAL of the
Trees" which was originated years
ago by one of his predecessors, Pro-
fessor Baccelli, but which has lately
fallen into disuse The minister urges
the municipal authorities to cooperate
in this good work, and promises
plants, pecuniary subsidies, and priz-
es for those who undertake it.
Thus, the pleasing spectacle OF
school children planting trees will be
revived and something will be done
to realize the picture of a well-forest-
ed Italy drawn by Virgil in the sec-
.ond "Georgic."
The mania for cutting down trees
has done great harm to the climate
in many places of Italy, while there
are numerous spots in the Abruzzi,
such as Scanno, which would make
ideal summer residences, had they
but shade.
