A few years n;,'o society in Waxhitit!
toii waa shocked by the use of a picture

lusktHl by tho umj of a portrait of Mrs
Potter Palmer in a brewery advertise

to indignation not lor.ifngoby the whole

young ladies to stimulate tho tmsiiies of
cigaretto manufacturers. In this cac
tlio ofTeuso was exceptionally ila;Tant.
for tho portraits were, nut faithfully ro
produced from the origiuals, but wire
rendered more piquant by attaching the
face of proper young ieoplo ill private
hfe to tho figures of stage ituple iu the
npprosimate undress of tho ballet. The
courts were railed upou to stop the cut
rage, and it was stopis-d.
All these invasions of tho privacy of
I'ldividuals I. re utterly iudefeiisiblo, and
bring the p-rpetrator under the fiti
rure of public opinion lu all communi
ties where public opinion ha any j r.
teusiuiis to a capacity for making i.i -e
distinctions between right aud wt.h.
There are those who maintain that it H
a compliuient to a lady's beauty to go to
the expense of manufacturing her por
trait and scattering it broadcast a tlio
central riuliellUlitiieiit of an artistic ad
vertiserucnt Cut if the lady's feeling
tn the matter nre stolidly ignored, there
is certainly uo compliment, but a coarw;
n.nult, which uo man with the instincts
of a gentleman could fail to resent Mil

Oh, the dress of woman! Oh. that vile

for when one think of woman's f. Tin and
looks at her in modem dress, comparison
is ludicrous. Look at those, pincln-d iu
