Talking
About
CLOTHING
Do you know that there i a vast diflerenco
in the tnako up, lining, sowing and general
finish of clothing.
There ii the "made to sell" kind, pretty
pattern, gaudy linings, but there's no oatisfac
tion in tlie wear, it is made in a hurry by
underpaid labor; just "made to sell."
Then there's tlie "made to wear" kind, pro
perly shrunk, plain but strong linings, the
"vituls," or inside paddings, properly adjusted'
sewed with silk, made by skillwl labor and sold
on honor.
The "mode to wear" kind costs v little more
than tin "made to sell" kind, but, dear mc, it
is ever no much bettor.
We sell the made to wear kind.

CHICAGO, April 13.-The Romantic
Ideal of 73 "co-eds" In a clan of
anthropology at the University of
Chleago, nave received a rude ihock
at the hand of Pror. Frederick Stari.
Tlie prof--sor In a class lecture,
bluntly declared that the, wedding
ring waa a relic of barbarism, an
absolutely useless survival o' the
culture of primitive people.
"Undoubtedly," said the Professor,
"the welding ring I a beautiful ex
ample of barbaric traditions, living In
till modern Twentieth Cantury and
tilling no function whatsoever, rer-1
hapa one of you can tell me the origin
of the use of the wedding ring?" He
received no answer ifrom the seventy-
flve young women. "
"The wedding ring represents the
noae ring, ankle or manacle by which
in past ages the sold slave was led
away from the mart of his new mas
ter," he continued, "but every one to
day know that a woman, when she Is
given a ring to syinpobllze the wed-
ding sacrament U by no means a
slave."
The dresscoat was also included In
Professar Starr's crusade agalnat "Rel
ics of Barbarism." Turning to the
men ot his class, he added:
What la the origin ot that absurd
garment, the dress coat? Nothing less
than the hunting coats of our ances
tors, who divided the tails of the long
frock coats, cut away the front, sewed
buttons In the back to hold up the
tails, and used the.coat for a hunting
Jacket.
"Now why Is the servant dressed In
the conventional evening costume also?
Just because he formerly had to wear
out the old hunting clothe of his
master."

Speaking of Dr. Talmage last night.
Dr.' W. S. Short, of Grace Episcopal
Church of this ctty, upon being Inform
ed of his death, said:
"His work was striking. A a preach
er, be was thoughtful and studious.
While he occasionally bordered on sen
sationalism, yet in the long run I con
sider hi sermons worthy of consider
ation. I heard of one peculiarity ot his
nature not generally known," contin
ued Rev. Short, "which Illustrates the
One traits ot the man. He was a
great admirer of the precious metals.
He often carried them about In Ms
pockets and would take them out and
admire thm. It showed the admira
tion of the preacher for the pure, even
In material things."
A local newspaper man, who has
had occasion to meet Dr. Talmage and
interview him several times, says that
the doctor waa one ot the most pleas
ant men he ever met Kindness was
marked on every line In his honest face
and his genial emtio made every on
feel perfectly at nome In his pres
ence. He was a tall ordinary looking
man and seemed to care nothing about
producing any but a 'happy impres
sion upon people. In conversation he
waa Intensely Interesting and always
had eome pointed story to tell 'n or
der to Impress hi statement upon the
mind of the listener. One day while
interviewing hlnV be told a story that
was a perfect Illustration of the :nan.
It went something like thia: 'One day
while I wa walking In the pleasant
meadow land I came to a ditch and
saw two turtles, a white one and a
dirty one, that were quarrelling. The
white one laid, 'Get out of my way, I
am no ordinary turtle but belong up
in the higher ground and do not care
to associate with you.' 'But we are
both ohlldren of the water and made
the earns way,' replied the black cne.
'Oh, I cannot argue with yott; I am
of a high degree. My father had O.
W. cut on hi shell by Oeorge Wash
ington when a boy,' ald the white one.
1 am better than yon turtle of the
lower ground.' I threw a tone, a!d
the doctor, "and they both sank Into
the mm mud hole together."
"I hall never forget the first time
I saw him,' ocmlnued . the newspa
per man. ' "He came to the 3ity where
I waa living, to lecture. I went and
at the door caw a tall 1esd; man
who wore a wed worn beaver hat and
bad a heavy scarf about bia neck. No
one would have takes him for a great
man, had one Judged by his drew, and
I wa urprled when the lecturer
walked upon the paltform to recogulze
him a the man I saw at the door.
When I met him personally the rta
ton wa apparent; he did not want to
appear better than anyone else. I have
seen him stop on the street and give
some money to a dirty Tittle child and
then watch to see what It would buy.
I have seen him stop and talk with
one of the richest and the next mo
ment doff his hat to the poorest tktl
len. " He wa Interested in all people
and was willing to put himself out of
the way when the occasion demanded."
