DRESS AND MODESTY

disease, because bathing was regarded
as immodest. In many parts of Africa
the explorers found that where custom
prescribed scant clothing. it was actually
regarded as bad form and something thar
no respectable person would do to cover
more of the body than was custolnarily
done.
Conventions on such subjects change
from generation to generation. Dion
Boucicault told Justin Mccarthy that in
his young days actresses were exceeding
ly proper in their dress and that, tie
abbreviated skirts and tights of a mod
ern musical comedy would not have been
tolerated But they were given lines Of
yulgarity that no modern audience II
respectable theatre would countenance
The movement has been toward greater
latitude in dress, but stricter proprlety
in speech.
Modesty seems to have been a quality
of comparatively late development in civ
iiization. Dress was at first regulated n
tho basis of utility combined with vanity
and superstition. Then custom got in its
work When people became accustomed
to certain style of dress any violent de-
rarture from 1t struck them as irnmod-
est.
Modesty didn't make dress. Dress made
modesty Only it should be borne n
mind that once modesty has developed
the conventions cannot be suddenly ard
radically violated without social degrada-
tion Modesty isn't something that

|GHOsT-HAUNTED DESERT OF GOBI
From the Wide World Magazine.
Slowly we Travelled across the great
waste of Dzungaria. the 'soul-appalIing
Gobi'' of some writer's, but to us a land
of beauty, even If of a somewhat terri
flying character. For here, more nearly
than in any other land, is beauty allied TO
terror.
These silent steppee, the natives believe,
are the haunts of "genii and the rendez-
vous of evil spirits AS a recent writer
has said: The great sandy desert OF
Cobb has been looked on as the dwelling
place of malignant beings from the days
of hoary antiquity. All luckless trave-
lers in this region, from the days of
Marco Polo onward, have recorded strange
stories of weird beings that inhabit the
depths of the wastes. Mysterious singing
and wailing beating OF drums, and dis
tant music are said to beguile the trayc-
Ter and lead him of the track until he is
hopelessly lost in the wilderness. A re-
cent Russian explorer gives quite de-
tailed account of the wild men of the
desert. Listen to the strange story told
by Kosloff. who traversed the desert Of
Dzungaria in it's widest part not long
ago: These wild men, the Kyz-Kyks, rs
they are called are covered with short
wool similar to the fur of a young ca,il-.
el They have long black hair and black
eyes. They are of ordinary size. but
rather long legged. They roam he etcppe
in pairs, and when harassed by man they
scream, whistle, and snarl as they rs.n
away. The native Kirghiz claim to have
caught them occasionally, but the cap
tives refuse food and drink, and die after
a few days.

Thoughtful Act of Kindnes.

About two weeks ago l happened to be
down at police headquarters in the city
hall and saw a policeman do an act of
kindness by which I was especially
touched" said resident of East Lake.
There were two young boys in Chief
Bodeker's office who had been picked up
at the Terminal station by the officer on
that beat 1t seems that the boys father
was to have met them at the train, but
for some reason failed to do so. They
were just little 'tykes and we're very tired
and sleepy, having been travelling since
noon, they said. An older brother who
had started out with them, and managed
to miss the train at a small station, where
he got off to secure something to eat
and they had made most of their journey
unaccompanied.
lone of the officers waiting to go on
duty, noticed the little fellows and asked
them If they We're hungry. The elder
of the two, who was about II or ~ years
old, was very bashful and said that he
was not a bit hungry. The younger,
however, was not quite so bashful and ac-
knowledged that he would like to have
sandwich. The policeman then took his
lunch out of his pocket. opened it and
told the youngster to pitch in and eat all
of it, The boy began eating and the
other boy, seeing his brothers evident
enjoyment began to feel the pangs of
hungex. himself and finally took a sand
wich. After eating the two boys dropped
off to sleep and the officer went to his
beat without a lunch.'

Washington, July 17.-State depart

Just which foreign power had in

day though reports in official circles
mention Great Britain and France.
The denial from Berlin that Germany
had made representation was gener

1t was pointed out that the French

French interests are said to control
the Mexican National bank, the Banco

said to be principally in the National
railways and in mining. Germany's in
'terests are said to lie largely in agri-
'culture and nationwide hardware
business.
American Losses Are Heavy.
While American losses are believed
to have been greatest in the revolu-

heavy through destruction of railroad
property. French losses, it is said,
have been largely so called specula-
