EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

A few days ago read in the news
papers the story Of how a beautiful
of starvation in the city of New York.
Did it make my blood boil to think
that such things could be in a civilized
community?
nant at and disguised with the young
woman.
A queer way to feel?
Not at all.
For the young woman was Mabel
Gilman Corey the former chorus girl,
walton was self-inf1icted and was for
the purpose of maintaining the hip
less, curveless, unnatural figure that is
considered so Indispensable nowadays.
Imagine being possessed of wealth
and health to enjoy to the full all the
pleasures that wealth could buy, and
deliberately destroying such great op-
portunities for happiness, simply in
order to be thin.
Nor is Mabel Corey's case a very ex-
traordinary one. Every now and then
the papers chronicle the sickness of
some society woman who has broken
her health trying to be thin.
Bones" said the dresSmaker to me,
gravely, the other day, "are beautiful
nowadays. The girl with the long,
thin neck and bones big enough to
hang a hat on is in luck these times
"a thin slip of girl like new moon,
Sure to be rounded into beauty soon"
wrote Longfellow once on a time. of
Agnes Surrey.
Doubtless If he had lived in these
days some stylish dressmaker would
have told him that he was writing
nonsense-that if Agnes were thin
slip of a thing she was already at
the acme of beauty, and that any
rounding" far from making her
beautiful, would make her quite i'm
possible
And I think it's all perfect nom
sense.
Call bones and straight lines and
you will but don't try to persuade us
that they are beautiful. or artistic.
Health is the first requisite of
beauty, and boniness is not healthy.
''The anxiety to lose weight for a.
fashionable figure is positively dan
turing at Harvard Medical School the
other day. Some people think fat
ness is a disease that will go on and
destroy the system, while on the con-
trary it is generally sign of health,
natures reserve, and is just as desir-
able as money in the bank
Now I am not blowing the horn of
the woman with the redundant figure.
There is nothing 1 dislike any more
than what the last generation used to
term "a fine figure of a woman"
But I do maintain that reasonable
curves and plumpness are just as
beautiful today as they ever were,
that this bone fad has gone on quite
long enough, and that it is time the
women of America revolted against
it, and set up the normal figure
again as the standard of beauty.

BULLS ARE GAME.
Under Patterns Leadership They Are
Back in the Market.

New York, April 3o.-James A.
Patten and the other bull leaders in
cotton were back in the market again
today, bidding freely for May and
July contracts. Although thev ac-
cepted notices yesterday for the de-
livery of about 100000 bales of cot
ton, which means that they must pro-
duce about Sic, 100000 when it is de-
livered on Monday, they were SEEM
ingIy as anxious as ever to buy all the
cotton in sight.
Trading was quiet and the volume
of business was not large. Under the
pressure of the continued bull move
ment prices went still higher and
most of the morning were to 10
points above yesterdays closing.
1t is estimated that Eugene Scales
of Texas, took up $4,000 bales yester-
day. which is considerably more than
any of the others in the big Four"
accepted. Mr. Patten is reported to
have taken about 49, bales. The
other two of the "big four" William
p. Brown and Frank Hayne of New
Orleans. are thought to have accepted
about 40, 900 bales
