Around them and among them were
ranged fourteen insurgents-the guard Of
thirteen around their leader Mrs Louis
X. Torbet Many OF them were sobbing
Others were angrily proclaiming secession
for the lost cause and threatening to re-
sign forthwith from the Chicago Chapter.
The contest was planned carefully on
each side. on Friday Mrs Torbet and
her followers met TO put the final finish on
the campaign plans Earlier in the week
Mrs. Noyes had met with the committee
of eleven to construct the victorious steam
roller
Promptly az 1890 o'clock. when the gavel
OF the new regent Mrs +. r. McMuiiin. Of
Highland Park. announced that the special
meeting was in order. the excitement began.
Mrs Noyes arose and offered report
which declared that serious discrepancy
had been found in the stenographic pro-
ceedngs of the meeting. in which Mrs
Torbet was censured for nominating Mrs
Story and the report in the book of the
retiring secretary. Mrs John C. Roth"
Mrs Noyes offered a motion substituting
the stenographic copy Of the report found
in the minutes And the battle was on
During the next two hours scarcely a

trated the leather doors excluding the in
terested public.
Il am being prosecuted by this chapter"
exclaimed Mrs. Torbet. who held that the
differences between Mrs Roth's report. as
secretary. and the stenographic report we're
inma terial. The debate continued. Rules
Of order, constitutions and the deep laws of

graphic report was passed by vote Of So

tie however. was not over.
Smaller groups gathered in the halls Of
the tenth floor of the building and in the
assembly rooms. and. with no gavel or
regent 70 plead for order, continued to dis
cuss the fight and express pent-up emo
tons.
The committee appointed 70 compare the
reports found serious discrepancies between
them: they found that the secretary's re-
mort was dia really OOuOstfe TO that
taken by the stenographer. I offered the
report and II was adopted. Some Of the
Daughters wanted 70 pass Il over, for fear
Of hurting some ones feelings. but that
was not the attitude Of The chapter" said
Mrs Moves as she reviewed the contest.
Il am being prosecuted" repeated Mrs.
Torbet. who stood in the doors Of the as

PASTOR ASSAILS STYLES
Prefers Harem Skirt to Short
Slim" Variety, However.
fBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune

Little Rock Ark, June A vigorous
campaign has been undertaken by the
Rev. Benjamin Cox. pastor Of the First
Baptist Church, against the prevailing
STYLES In wOmens dress. His congregation
is divided into two fashions. one bitterly
denouncing him for interfering where he
has no business" and the other and larg-
ar faction praising him.
He says the present styles as a rule
tend 70 indecency and immodesty IN ex
posing arms. necks. shoulders and ankles.
The evil effects Of these styles on the
street, in the parlor. on the ballroom floor,
he says. ARE so awful in their menace 10
social purity that national decency must
rapidly deteriorate unless the good women
themselves condemn the fashion and force
a return TO styles more in keeping with
decorum."
THE short. slim skirts. so popular to-
day" are also denounced. a woman who
appears on our streets in one Of these
short. slim skirts does not realize how she
looks" says Mr.. Cox. In my judgment
the harem skirt is far more decent than
many other skirts. for there is enough
cloth in one leg Of these harem skirts 10
make one Of these short. slim skirts"
