IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

| Webster City Freeman-Journal:
Judging from the present outlook the
republicans viii not have to give con-
sideration to the qualities of it's
presidential candidate as a vote get
ter. All they viii have to consider is
| the fitness of the man for the posi-
ton. Anybody on the republican
ticket can beat any democrat that
can be nominated. The county Is
visibly sick and tired of democr tic
laundering and extravaganza.

worries of the equal suffragists are

She seems to spend more time in

dressing her body. When Nine. Paquin
was asked why bodices were first

effort of designers to show the best
points of woman, preferably one at
time.
She could not apply that act of dis
cretion to the present manner of
dressing in Paris. for the bodice is
only girdle and the skirt an apron.
One gets weary of the unceasing dis
play at an evenings gayety. 1t is not
artistic. 1t is not alluring. 1t is
bravado. and 1t becomes banal.
The Fashion for Thin Stockings.
One fashion of Paris that the Ameri-
can women adopt is the transparent
colored stocking. Black hosiery has
vanished. The stronger the contrast
between the stocking and the skirt
so much the better.
This fashion, like that of the short
skirt, is accepted by the smart and
exclusive women. as we'll as by the
girls on the boulevards and the well
frocked women on the stage. Chest
