"And what was this Style thing that

"Style was a mysterious power that
changed every year Or SO, and when
it changed women had to change with
it. One year Style would be for plump
women, and all the women would be
plump. Next year it would be for
%thinness, and all the women would be
thin. Sometimes it said: No hips
and the women promptly didn't ave
any hips; then it would say. Let
there be hips and hips there were,

when women, having finally won their

pened in this same age, about 1912,
that this ancient lady in a hobble

young explorer who'd gone down to
take the temperature of the south
pole. He had a beautiful young wife
that he had to leave behind in a little
ol~d-fashioned hotel named the Knick-

Robert Burns.

Robert Burns belongs in the very
front rank of the worlds great men.
AS a song writer he stands along
with Goethe, Heine and Beranger, and
as a s~atirist he ranks well up with
Juvenal and Pascal. His "Coter's Sat
urday Night" his Tam o. Shanter"
and his Holy Fair" are simply mimi
table, as great, in their line, as the
most consummate masterpieces of the
worlds greatest writer's. Burns was
original in the best sense of that
word, and his songs, s~atires, epistles
and many of his more serious produc-
tons stand forth unique, and fresh,
and powerful as the tints of Titan
or the chiseling of Phidias.

PROVocATl0N Ali TOO GREAT
Jury Had Sympathy With Young Man
Tempted Beyond Reasonable
Power to Resist.

This winters fashions are undeni-
ably charming, and an episode in their
honor was related the other day by
Lieutenant Barnes at Annapolis.
"A very pretty girl" he said. was
motoring on a recent afternoon with a
young man when, without a word of
warning, he put his arms around her
neck and kissed her.
"She was terribly enraged. She had
the young man arrested. And de-
scribed angrily in court how he had
gazed at her in silence, and Their had
seized and kissed her on the lips.
The young nan making no defense,
the jury retired. A verdict of guilty
was confidently expected. But. on the
iury's return. the foreman asked per-
mission to put two questions to the
plaintiff.

The figure on the photograph vas
different from anything ever seen or
dreamed of in the year 1852. Appar-
entity it represented some creature
bearing a faint resemblance to the
women OF the day. The physfognomy
was dainty and appealing to the eye,
but it was almost surrounded By d
great mass OF material resembling

Franco-Russian Differentiation.

In the readjustment of boundaries
after the Franco-Prussian war the lit
tie village of La Schu1cht was divided
between h two nations. France and
Germany meet in the middle OF the
main street, and, as the boundary line
follows a slanting course, it is possible
for a French and a German soldier to
pose for a joint photograph, each re-
naming within his territory.
From the number and variety OF post
cards adorned with photographs OF
this nature on sale in the village It il
evident that the men Of the two armies
are ready enough to fraternixs when
stationed close together.

Pictures for the Living Room.

Get away from the idea of hanging
pictures in you dens and living rooms
that are fanciful. Have something
that will bear everyday associations.
The black and white prints are good,
and those OF the old italian villas,
wooded scenes, or of some eastern
ports, little ~brooklets and country
landscapes will be refreshing all win
ter, when the living room must lake

To Induce Sleep.

To many people the drinking of half
a pint or more Of clear cold water on
retiring brings about a cure for sleep
lessness. 1t clears the blood, washes
irritating food out of the stomach, and
promotes a feeling Of quietude which
helps sleep.

AS soon as the nominations for rep
resentatives in congress are made by
the different parties next spring or
summer, the proper local organizations
OF s~ufragists will appoint tactfui but
acute committees to call upon the
nominees and to ask them how they
stand on the question of suffrage. 1t
is taken for granted by the women
that all candidates Of the Progressive
party for congress will be in favor OF
woman suffrage, for the party is COM
mitted to the cause.
1t can be taken for granted that be-
fore the suffragists in Washington are
through with their winters work, they
will have money enough to carry on
the kind of a congressional campaign
which they have outlined as most
likely to be effective. All the suffra-
gists of the country Of course will be
expected to contribute, but 1t Is the
intention, 1t is said, Of the women now
in the capital to give a series Of public
entertainments and perhaps a great
big BALI for the purpose Of raising
funds. The mark set today is $50, 600.
but it is likely to be $1,000 900 before
the season wanes. The women are in
earnest; they are working thoughtfully
and their leadership is intelligent and
energetic.
