LONDON, June s0.-Certain women
who pass for being elegant have sprung
surprise among the morning prom
enaders in the select portions OF the
Bots de Boulonge, Paris, by appearing
without stockings They have replaced
the stockings by socks, which run only
an Inch or two above the boots.
With summer weather in spring, the
SILK stockings OF the ''elegantes' gen.
orally had become moro diaphanous
than ever. their transparency being in
creased with the intensity OF the heat
I'LL 1t reached such a point that, as It
no longer yelled the limbs. moro auda-
cious persons argued that stockings
might be dispensed with altogether
Besides. silk stockings are very dear
The opinion Of the vendors, however, is
the fact that they are dear will kill the
new fashion-this. and the offence
against good taste.
Diligent students of the fashion
barometer record that skirts have been
shortened by several inches In the last
three. years. At Longchamps races re-
Gently they were seen at their shortest.
A feature Of the toilettes was a sort of
wrap which suggested that the wearer
had emerged from her bath. There was
also q robe resembling the roomy PAN
falcons of a Zouave soldier.
When We come to masculine modes,

have been the fate OF the silk hat in
other countries. It has never passed into
conaplete desuetude In France. But It's
use Is no longer confined to ceremonious
occasions. silk hats. some with brims
without much curve. could be counted
by hundreds at Longchamps.

Such high handed methods as the

to remember that the south part CT

News.
For shame, Bobby, and for shame
again-why wax so wroth? Do you re-
alize that you are drawing a deadly
parallel between yourself and Jeff
Davis. Wouldst Platteville and the
South" as you put it secede from the
grand old union of townships even as
the Southern states did sixty years
ago? And would you, Bobby, play the
part of the naughty rebel?
People, Behold-here is a man hon
ored by Grant county to an important
Office who would seek to break the
county in the middle, aye in twain,
and set mp a rebel government. We
recommend that the alien and sedi-
ton act be invoked against Bobby
forthwith. And that he be shot
drawn and quartered and hung until
he is dead! So be it with all rebels.

One suave gentleman appearing be-
fore the legislative committee on the
municipal court deal stated that he
did not believe the people would Op-
pose the measure 'if they under
stood it," Right there is the whole
point-why was the matter quietly
brought up without the peoples
knowledge? The people will pay for
it-why shouldn't they act upon it?
Surely the gentlemen behind the
measure trust the people in matters
of this kind-surely they hold that
taxation without representation" is
indefensible, or, to apply it here as one
and the same thing, the people should
say where their money will 60 Sure
ly these gentlemen are not AFRAID to
go before the people with their meas
ure of additional courts?
1t would be manifestly unjust for
us to charge Mr.. Grindell and his as
sociates with trying to slip the little

what the people want for was not Mr..
Grindell elected as "REPRESENTA-
TIVE?"
Now we know that these men
want to be fair in every way. They
simply Numbered and should not be
censored by any one Any one of them
will tell you that they certainly are
willing to abide by the peoples de-:
cision-why then should they be crit
icised so severely?
