perhaps will be displeased when the
slender skirts are seen no more. A
young lady boarding a car in a tight
skirt and some haste is often the
height of his afternoons enjoyment.
But the sober citizen intent upon
his own concerns has little time for
such idle vanities. OF course a young
lady of ususual curvilinear charm may
catch his eye, but only occasionally.
And he will not think TO ascribe the
pleasure of the moment to the prevail
ing styles.
Even so the disappearance of the
clinging skirts may cause more regret
than will be expressed. When they
are seen no more on the streets only
the unmarried men will be privileged
to voice their evaporation. l. would
be imprudent indeed in a married man
to complain in the presence of his wife
that the wide and flowing skirts are
unalluring. So let him hold his tongue.
Or at the most he may point out thai
more material in skirts increases the
bills, and here is his chance to rant
and fume. In this way he may wreak
bit of vengeance.

A recent convention OF the Ma
tional Cloak and Suit Manufacturers
association at Toledo determined the
female fashions FOR next spring and
summer. After a consideration of the
styles of several seasons past, the as
sociation agreed that a complete re-
formation OF modes would not be
amiss. And so voluminous and swad-
ding skirts will replace next spring
the scant and form-displaying ones
of present vogue.
The moral influence of a ,tailors
convention is a matter that might en-
ploy the wits of our ablest casuist. II
cannot be adequately dwell upon here.
But it must be clear to one and ali
that the ingenious gentlemen fore
gathered at Toledo have brought to
pass a circumstance that will widely
affect us.
Some there are. of course. who will
be exceedingly dismayed to learn OF
this change of style. There is a type
of youth. the habitue ofistreet corners.
whose favorite diversion is the ogling
of young women as they pass. Such

The community Christmas tree in
Rock Island is a new institution ana
the public is unfamiliar with the man
ner in which exercises will be con-
Quoted in connection with it. The
tree will be erected on the platform
on the west side of Market square and
will be brilliantly decorated and light
ed during Christmas week, beginning
Tuesday evening. No gift will be CIV
en- from the tree, there will be no
speeches, but choruses will sing and
everyone will be asked to join in MAX
ing of the exercises in connection a

II is expected that the school chill
dren will sing surrounding the tree
Tuesday evening. Wednesday even
ing the tree will be lighted but there
will be no exercises. Thursday even
ing the public is invited to participfte
in the services and as they viii last

eryone can spare the time even though
they may be going to other festivities.
The Rock Island Musical club has
arranged for eight cornetists to lead
the singing They VIII be stationed on
the platform where is placed the tree
and the congregation standing in the
street surrounding it are asked to par
ticipate in the singing. The hymns
that have been selected for the even

tune Antioch; while the Shepherds
Watched Their Flocks," to the tune
Christmas arranged by Handel;
"Hark the Herald Angels sing" to
the tune Mendelssohn; ooh Come All
We Faithful" to tune Adeste Fidelis;
Holy Night" German carol, and
America
In case the weather is very severe
the singing of hymns will have to be
made as short as possible that no one
be exposed to cold.
