Will She Wear Thsm7
From the Christian Centu.

A mother writes asking us to a
something on the subject of women's
dress. We will do nothing of. the kind.
But we will mention N point in her
letter. She says:
my daughter insists on wearing
tight skirts because all the other girls
do, although I tell her no decent girl
would dress So"
Don't tell her that, says the EN-
fury. Because 1t Is not true. Some
modest. girls do dress so-your daugh-
ter included. The dress is immodest-
wo do not like 1t. But some girls, inn
modestly and are modest.

And your mothers mother; she wore

she affected the. Grecian bend, and she
dragged her train along filthy side

the same to Eve.
The present styles are undeniably
immodest. They seem. to US intention,
ally imTnodest. We do not approve
them. The only good thing about them
is that they have driven out the styles
that preceded them and will them
selves be driven out by something
better and wiser.
All the same, we know some I'M
who are modest enough not ia wear
the current styles In their extreme
form. and theysare not prudes, but to
our mind are far sprettier than those in
the ultra forms Of current fashion.

The hunting of black bear was a
sport much loved by h Usage Indians
in the days before the coming OF the
white settlers into the country vest
OF the Mississippi. 1t afforded them
not only the thrill and excitement Of
the chase, of which every hunter is
fond. but 1t also added largely to the
animal food supply upon which the
Indians depended for their living.
Many strange and interesting tales
are told to this day of black-bear hunt
ing, but of those that / have heard
not one is so human as the following,
which was an actual occurrence.
One day q man noted for his skill
In hunting went out intsearch of black
bear that he might add to the food
supply OF his home. Being familiar
with the and habits of the
animal the hunter % found signs,
and as he cautiously looked about he
saw a female bear in a large tree busi-
ly gnawing at a hole In the trunk. The
man quickly raised his gun and took
aim but he suddenly seized with an ir-
resistible desire to see what h crea-
ture al doing.
After scratching and biting al the
edge of the hole for some little time the
bear thrust in her paw and in q mo-
ment quickly withdrew 1t. She put
SOIHeLnltlS lIlLO HcE WOuIn dnu SlldCh-
ed her lips with apparent. delight and
satisfaction. Then she suddenly scram-
bled down to the ground and with an
ambling gait disappeared in d low
bush.
The hunter brought the butt. OF his
gun to the ground and waited to see
II the bear would return. He had not
long to wait. for h soon reappeared
with two cubs on her back. On arrlv-
ing at the foot of the tree the bear
shook the cubs down. then selling the
larger one with both her paws she put
him up against the trunk OF the tree
|. as high as she coud, reach. The young
ster seemed to understand what was
expected OF him, for he went up the
tree with the agility OF q cat and took
a seat N a limb close to the hole. Then
the. mother picked up h younger one
and held him against the tree. He
clutched the bark tightly but whether
out of mischief, deliberate di%sobedience,
or lack OF common bear sense, he would
not move. After waiting a few, mo-
ments the mother lifted a paw and
gave the little imp a whacking spank.
