Many Reasons Why 1t Is an Abomina-
ton When 1t Is Worn on
the Street.

A long dress in the house, on we'll
swept carpet, is all very well-we do
not deny it's gracefulness-but a long
dress on the street is an abominatiOn.
1t is in your own way; 1t is in the
way of everybody else. If we hold it
up, we look like a washerwoman
turned forepart behind, and it draws
all our clothes forward in a way which
would destroy the grace Of a NinOn
de lEnclOs. Everybody behind us can
see the lining Of the skirt and notice
the frayed braid, for braid is always
frayed on q long dress, and take OBJ
servatiOns on our petticoat and stock
ings and the tops of our boots.
We have no hands to help ourselves
with-one has to hold the muff or
parasol, as the season may be, and the
other is employed with the train.
If we let it drag, either it is trodden
off in the course of half an hours
promenade, or else six feet of the side
walk behind us is not utilized. for the
pedestrians must fall back, or plant
their feet on that moving mass of ruff
files and fluting and cigar stumps and
silk fringe and street refuse, and thus
win for themselves the unconquerable
hatred of the wearer; for, although
we all know that long dresses on the
street are a nuisance, and that people
cannot avoid stepping on them, we
are always indignant when they are
stepped on.

WAS FIRST BEAUTY DOCTOR
CagIiostro Lives in History as One
Who Trcked the Whole Aristoc-
racy of Europe.

The first beauty doctor" to gain
wide celebrity was one Balsamo, son
of poor shopkeeper in Palermo, but
best known by his assumed title of
Count AleSsandrO di Cagliostro. He
was born 173 years ago and was edu-
Gated in a monastery. AS a young
man he went to Rome, where he met
and married a beautiful girl, says an
exchange.
The pair then Travelled over Europe
ess CagliostrO, going about in a mag
nificent coach-and-four and securing
access to the highest society of the
countries they visited. They made a
fortune by selling wine of Egypt"
disposed of in drops as being more
precious than nectar, the use of which
was alleged to restore vigor and
youth and beauty to wOrnout and wrn-
kfed men and women. The Countess
Seraphina adduced herself as a liv-
ing evidence of the efficacy of the
elixir, averring that she was past sixty
and had a son who was a veteran SOL
der. The count claimed to be an oc-
togenarian. For years they carried
on a highly profitable trade in Egyp-
tan drops, beauty waters, wrinkle
eradicators and love phllters, but at
length, afer long enjoying the favor of
cardinals and bishops, kings, princes
and mobiles, Cagliostro was thrown into
prison and his wife confined in con-
vent, where both died.

CRATER PROTECTORS
Evading q questions asked him by
80 members of the council compos-
ing joint committee, Mayor Thomp-
son sent back an answer asking the
aldermen to stop Directing whenever
the administration fired a CRATER
and to get to work and help him on
progressive measures.
The Fl questions had to do with
the alleged violations of the civil
service law by the civil service COM
mission. One asked the mayor of his
idea of harmony.
The reading of the mayors epistle
caused storm of indignation among
the admermen, who ask: Why don't
Mayor Thompson come out and
name the aldermen he accuses of
trying to protect grafters?
A subcommittee was appointed to
ask the mayor to reply to these ques-
tons. The joint committee also de-
cided to ask him the names of the
aldermen he charges with protecting
grafters and to appoint another
committee to decide on what steps
should be taken to protect the civil
service system from destruction.

SEED CORN IDEA

Iowa school children will next fall
be utilized in waging the most COM

TO take part in the extensive cam

IT each pupil of school age would
select early and store properly a
Fulshel of seed corn. enough seed
would be insured to plant % of the
entire corn acreage of the state. The
value of the corn produced from this
amount would amount to over $780,,
