THE GAY SIATTUCK LAW.

The Gay Shattuck law, to which some
of the ants are giving much promi-
nence, is peculiar i'll many respects. 1t
is lengthy and somewhat ambiguous. 1t
is full of "ioop-holes." 1t provides sew
Ell classifcations applying to the saloons
and the groggcries based on gross re-
ceipts. 1t fixes the license for the first
class. whose annual receipts are $4,000
or more. at $1,000. and for the seventh
class. whose annual gross receipts arc
less than $1,000. the license is $500.
For selling in quantities less than five
gallons the license may be $50, 1t is the
law which has failed in 4 practical dc
monstration that the saloon can be reg
ulatcd, 1t is simply prctcnsc at regu-
iation, which has never been considered
seriously, especially in its application in
New Orleans.
The ants who arc prating over the
regulated saloon" must submit more
substantial and satisfactory arguments
than the Gay-Shattuck law, if they
would impress the general average men
Of common sense into the so-called reg
ulation Of the saloon

The Venus of Milo dressed in Pa
risian modes might pass muster now
Thirty inches Is none too big now for
a waist.
Paris made the law, and every one
followed it joyously Even the stays,
pull as you may. will not give you a
small waist.
1t is even rumored that French wo-
men pad the front Of the figure to
cause ii to appear straight, but the
one desideratum is to keep the hips
to the straight line.
Catherine de- Medici when she intro
duced the bone corset made thirteen
inches the right size for the waist, and
many woman at court sacrificed her
life to attain ii.
There is no necessity to have long
bones to keep In the hips. Ccutil or
brocade may be cut so as to confine
the dimensions. Digestive organs are
now left full and easy play.
