WOW! TANGO GARTER
CAUSED QUITE A STIR
Latest Thing In Woman's Wear.
Made Its Appearance In
Mankat0

Mankato has the reputation for
having the very latest in everything,
from the newest brand of cigars to
ladies wearing apparel, and the rep
utation of the city, in the latter re-
spect at least, was certainly sus-
tained-and-over by the appearance on
Front street last night of the latest
thing that has tango" for its first
name. Tango skirts, with the Sits
are as calm and unassuming as a
two year old in a sunbonnet, when
seen by the side of the fringed
tango" garter.
The young lady who introduced
Mankato to the new hose supporter
was good looking, too, and her escort
walked mildly by her side with the
grace of a Napoleon, looking neither
to right nor left. and utterly uncon-
scious of the startled gaze of passers-
by. The garter was worn with a
cerise skirt, slit up the middle to
the knee, with a slight gathering of
Tie ClOIu DIT Luc Gnu VI Iuo Bill. Lie
hose were also ~cerise, and the gar.
ters were emerald green. They were
heavily fringed, and the elastic band
vas probably just below the knee.
She wouldn't tell where she got the
new costume, or where it was de-
signed, in fact she came very near
calling an officer when an interview
was attempted. A chauffeur almost
ran over a baby carriage as he
watched the spectacle pass. The
kids" rubbered as they have never
been known to rubber before, and
the older ones of the male sex could
scarcely conceal their admiration for
the garter. Windows were raised in
the upper stories, and heads popped
out to witness the newest scream
that ever wakened the baby. The
ladies looked and wondered and then
c~ongregated on the orner specu
lating on where it came from and
how it was made.

must get in touch with the Divine

OF Christ When we have talked with
Him and have learned His ways then
it is time for Us to bring our example
to the public by making short public
prayers. Nothing helps a beginner so
much as short public prayer Long
