DOESN'T ADMIRE THE STYLE.
Dear Madam-Allow q man to say
he heartily approves Of your articles
regarding the bad .aste displayed
by women and girls in the manner
they dress.
II their excuse for dressing -
they do II "hscanss they are
afraid they will miss = trick IN

Tor, I would say they are playing
q poor game. Z am not narrow
minded; on tho contrary. am
somewhat Of q sport, ana knowing
tho short lie ana sad end Of the
woman who lives "ths easiest
way" say nothing against her,
for only God knows what man
helped her on the downward path,
ana I blame society a. At present
constituted rather than the woman.
As man ! am unable to under
stand why women who are presum-
ably v!rtuons will dress as those
described by you are dressing TO-
day.
/ like to see a well-drcssed woman.
but no, one who Is half dressed.
II It was possible to get theso
women and girls to understand wha'
men really think OF them. perhaps
they would change their method OF
attracting men. but the men are
somewhat TO blame because 'hey
"iolly" the girls by telling them
how nice they look.
\ man Is afraid to tell a girl the
truth or he would tell her she DIS
gusts him and that she invites IN
suit.
They talk about attracting hus-
bands ana make bachelors pay
tax. Any tax would be willingly
paid by me rather. than marry one
of these brainlsss creatures.
We are not angels and do not
want to marry angels. but We want
girls such az our mothers were. ~
far as modesty Is concerned.
i am glad to see a paper IKE The
Evening World publish articles Ike
yours, but I fear they will have no
effect, because II the girls had brains
enough to understand those articles
and change their style. then they
would have had brains enough not to

AERIAL WARFARE.

Dirigible balloons were given a
practical trial in warfare in recent
battle between the Turks and Italians
at Azisiah, Tripoli The balloons of
the Italians carried out an attack
upon the Turkish camp with such
success that it was wiped out.
The Turks, according to reports.
were unable to shoot to the elevation
of the balloons and as consequence
the Italians were free to circle above
the camp until it was destroyed.
This is the first time in the history
of warfare that dirigible balloon
have been used to carry out a con-
eerted attack. although they have Of
ten been used in reconnOitering. The
cOnjectures as to the destructiveness
of aerial warfare are apparently
strengthened by this occurrence.

WAITING; FOR PUSSY TO DIE.

How many lives has a cat? Yes
you are right. nine lives. Everyone
knows a cat has nine lives, there
fore imagine the predicament of the
heirs of a Pennsylvania hotel owner
who left a $4,000 estate with the
provision that it remain intact until
the death of favOrite cat.
The mortality experts have figured
out the number of chances of death
for persons, but it must be remem-
bered that a cat has eight lives the
best of human being. Is it any
wonder that the heirs to that estate
are feeling gloomy?
Whether the cat realizes the situ-
alton is another question. Does it
still observe the traditional democra-
cy among cats that draws no line be-
to cooperation in nightly serenades?
Or does it arch it's back and spit in
disdain at other cats? The press
dispatches do not state.
However, it is doubtful if the nine
lives of any other cat were ever so
carefully watched. 1t is said that the
nine lives are still intact and that the
cat seems to be healthy.
