Dress Reforms That
Could Be Practiced Everywhere.


With the example and influence
of sixty socially prominent women to
blaze the way, Cincinnati is about
to START a women's dress reform
movement.
At a meeting of the Home Eco
Monies Association, the startling fact
was disclosed that high school girls
are painting their faces, using cos
metics and dressing las if for party
instead of the school room
Thereupon the following resolu-
ton was offered by the president OF
the organization, Miss Isabel Neave,
and was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That as far as posi-
BILE We standardize our dress along
lines of appropriateness, comfort,
health and simplicity in order to SCI
the proper example in this matter.
Some of the things condemned by
the association as evils which have
fastened on Cincinnati girls and
women to an alarming extent are
high heels, low-necked waists fol-
street wear, sleeves above the elbow
paints and other cosmetics, veilins
and gauze hose for street wear.

TAFT AND SHERMAN
Republican NOminees-Roosevelt's
Name Not Formally Placed Be- -
fore Convention-Roose- Z.
welt Will Head
New Party.

The National Republican Conven-
ton to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President at
Chicago last week came to a close
late Saturday evening after renom-
mating William H. Taft for Presi-.
dent and James S. Sherman for
Vice President. The attention of
whole country was centered on the
convention and it will 90 down in
history as one of the most bitterly
if not disgracefully contested ma
tional conventions in the history of
the country. Mr. Taft received SCI
votes on first ballot, 20 more than
enough to nominate.
When it was evident that there
was no chance for the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt his friends
refused to present his name before
the convention and 344 Roosevelt
delegates refused to vote in the con-
vention, Gov. johnson, Roosevelt
supporter, and part of the California
delegation even left the convention
hall.
La Toilette of Wis, received 41
votes. Cummins of Iowa II.
Hughs of New York 8, and Roose-
welt 107 MIR. Roosevelt gave notice
that new party would be launch
ed at once and a preliminary con-
vention was held At the meeting
Mr.. Roosevelt was endorsed for
President and it was announced
that regular nominating conven-
ton would be held early in August.
This regular convention adopted a
platform in keeping with republi- =
can usages, that is promising every
thing good on earth with little in
tention of living up to it. A plank
favoring direct primaries was de-
feated.
Feeling was very bitter between
the Taft and Roosevelt partisans
during the entire meeting and open
hostilitieS were barely averted on
several occasions. Whether a new
party known as the progressive re-
mains to be seen, but it looks very
much like it at this date.

Mannering Elliott was pretty
badly bruised up one night last week.
Mr.. Elliott is not clear as to just how
he got hurt but the last he remem-
bers is that the horse he was riding
became entangIed in a wire fence.
From this it is inferred that he fell
from the horse and was rendered
unconscious. How ever he was found
at the Cones & McAllister livery
barn in a dazed condition and the
livery men very naturally supposed
he was injured in some way while
about the barn for it seemed i'm
probable that he should come far in
such a crippled condition.

Jewels In a Flower-Red.

jewelry from a aower-bed was de-
scribed at observation-disclosures police
court the other day, when a general
servant was charged with theft from
her mistress, a resident Of Ivydeane,
scarborough ?road, Surbiton. London.
The lady had missed a pearl pin and
a pearl and diamond ring. Thinking
she might have lost the Jewels in the
street. she issued printed notices Of
fering q reward for their recovery.
When she lost a number of other
things she placed the matter In the
hands Of the police. The detective
said that from what the prisoner told
him he searched the garden, and in
one Of the aower-beds found some of
the jewelry. The rest he found In

Correct Facial Proportions.

AS regards the scale of correct facial
proportions, writes E S. Valentine In
the Strand, it is easy to establish n
capable of universal application. 1T
has peer shown that no difficulty
arises amongst the cultured and even
the common people OF the various
modern races. Yet it was long sup
posed that the EskHnos, the Kalmucks.
and the Hotteptots actually regarded
their facial type as a most satisfactory
standard of human beauty. volumes
have peer written on this assumption,
which is now found to be completely
erroneous. A beautiful white woman
actually presented before an lnteln-
gent H%ottentot chief was unhes1tating-
" declared to be the most perfect
human creature he had eve seen. An
Eskimo, being shown by DR.. Hubbard
a cast of Pallas Athene, was struck
silent with awe. He said afterwards
that when he met a pretty or
his own race he felt inclined to laugh.
liked them for what they were. BUT
he confessed that "the nearer an Esk1-
mo girl came to the European stand
ard Of beauty the more beautiful she
Vas considered" even amongst the
Chinese and Japanese, although q
Japanese girl may engage the affec-
lions and attract the admiration of
ner Own tdcc, -
with a beautiful European her infer
,oritv is almost universally admitted.
This disposes, then. of the legend Of
different standards Of physical or
featural perfection. AS Professor
Eotheringham puts it: "a mar may
have his personal physical preference,
unwittingly governed by the principles
of natural selection: But this pre-
POSSESSION does not interfere with the
existence of a loftier nda from
which sensuality may De completely
excluded. The highest type is that
which expresses the greatest nobility
aud the least mobility"

After speaking at great length on
the emancipation Of women, a young
woman asked a statesman:
"Supposing women were admitted to

why that?"

would learn to talk or O would learn
