MRS. NICHOLAS LONGWORTH
is WEARING PANTAL ETTES

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, who gave the country
"Alice blue" when she was Miss
Roosevelt, came into Chicago yester-
day in pantalets. They were not lace
trimmed and ruffled. Instead, heavy
skirt material, with a wide tuck in
each leg, and reaching to her ankles.
They would have been noticed if
they had not been pantalets, because
they were longer than the skirts Chi
cago women are wearing. 4 long
heavy travelling coat, with a broad
cloth collar and conspicuous for the
absence of fur of any kind, was worn
with the "skirttish" looking trousers.
Ties of the cloth protruded from
either side of the collar and made a
warm, knot at the neck in case Of
cold winds.
Mrs. Longworth wore laced low
shoes and hat of straw, with a silk
front. Her travelling purse was a
large square leather one.

KISSES.

The Columbia State claims to have
testimony to the fact that it "kisses
most artistically." The Charlotte
News, commenting on the claim, AYERS
it would trade zone good, old-fash-
ioned, rough and tumble, catch-as-
catch-can kiss for ten thousand of
the artistic variety" Maybe The State
hasn't had the opportunity of trying
the g., Of, rat, c.-a.-c.-c. species
the merits of which The News extolls.
We believe The News has put the
ratio of exchange too high. We rather
incline to the g., Of, etc, brand our
selves, but we wouldn't trade one of
them for ten thousand of the artistic
variety.
For 10000 kisses is whole lot
Of osculatory exchanges and are
not to be sneezed at--or on-pro-
vided the party of the second part
is persona grata to the party of the
first part. Ten thousand kisses from
some girls we have known would
make us hunt up bargain sale in
cemetery lots and pick out nice,
agreeable resting place whereon to
lie down and die, while from certain
other girls--no, we're not mentioning
names today-10,000 kisses would
make us take new lease on life.
By the way, did either The State
or The News ever try the pat-pat
kiss? 1t is recommended highly by
those who claim to know.
The pat-pat kiss is something on
the order of kissless kiss. 1t is an
improvement on the kiss, from
hygienic stardpopnit, although from
an aesthetic point Of view the same
can not be said. 1t is an application
of the doctrine of Safety first" to
the osciatory field. Those indulg-
ing in the pat-pat kiss stand at pat
ing distance from each other and
pat one another on the cheek and
smile. That's all there is to it.
We have serious doubts as to
whether the pat-pat kiss would pro-
duce all the sensations of the other
kind and we are willing to wager our
reputation, such as it is, that it will
never be as popular among the young
folk as the lips-to-lips variety. In

deed, we should prefer the kiss

Philadelphia Public Ledger, "the

ders, advances his mouth one inch
and half from the kissee's nose,
feeds deep, deep, upon her peerless
eyes and produces slight explosion
with his lips" The Ledger tells us
that kiss hypothetical is "most,
hygienic and is said to be quite salts
tying" We don't know anything
about the first point, but as to the
latter we beg to be put in the list
of doubling Thomases. We are from

A NEW PSALM OF LIFE.

Tell me not in mournful numbers
That the Women shouldn't vote;
The idea is heather notion
Handed down from times remote.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the "polls" is not its end;
But that through the right of suffrage
We may many defects mend.
Just to vote for the sake of voting
Is not our destined end or way,
But to vote that the world tomorrow
May be better than today.
Art is long and time is fleeting
And the world is full of sin
Because, too long, the voting places
Have admitted only men.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the avenues of life,
Where has man raised virtues stand
ard
Without assistance from his wife
Trust no government, howe'er fiatt'r,
ing,
By men alone, in any land,
For what great movement has sue.
ceeded
Without the help of woman's hand
Lives of heroines all remind us
We can make our lives sublime
If the influence of our voting
Shall raise the standards of oul
time.
Standards that perhaps our sisters,
Sailing DER life's solemn main,
Who've been forlorn and discouraged
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us then be up and doing
Every duty for home and state
While we're cooking do some voting
Do our best and trust to fate.
