As long ago as last winter fsshlon
prophets vehemently announced the de
cllneand fall of the fomreau's vogue, and
we were assured that this fall the princess
frock would be altogether out of fashion;
yet the Bcml-prlncesa effects achieved by
continuous lines of front trimming are ap
parently as numerous as ever, and not only
do we retain the draped princess models,
but we have a close fitting, untrlmmed
princess model, lovely when cleverly cut
and made and when worn upon a perfect
figure, but too trying for any woman not
blessed with a charming figure, an artist
corset maker and an Inspired dressmaker.
The severe princess, like the pen, cut
away coat, demands a rounded fullness of
bust, a slender roundness of waist, a pro
nounced smallness of hips and an absolute
stralghtness of front. To be sure, this Is
the fashionable figure for all models, but
deviations from it can be glossed over, con
cealed and modified by certain modes. The
tight fitting princess revests pitilessly
every fault, and it would be well If every
woman would think long and seriously be
fore venturing to order any model exacting
uncommon excellence of figure and woTi
manship. .
The upper part of the corsage and the
sleeves in the plain princess are trans

council Tuesday night. These warrant
had been sold by the treasurer to the
Barber Paving company and to the
Grant Paving company In previous years
and have been held as part pt the re
serve money on contract where guar
antees have now expired. There was
some question as to the liability of tlfe
city on about $100,000 of such warrants
but suit has been decided against the city
by other holders and the payment to the
paving companies saved the city about
11,000 compared with what would hare

as the member desired to observe
Christmas eve, but a large amount of
business was transacted.
Aside from the payment of the special
warrants the most Important matter
was the Introduction of three ordinances
by Ms. Bridges. One Is to rrpeal the or
dinance barring lunch wagons from the
street corners, another to permit the sale!
of merchandise on the streets under cer
tain restrictions. Including the prohibi
tion of the sale of food not properly
protected from the weather, and the
third was to set aside $5,000 from the
unappropriated general fund for. grading
certain streets next year. All of these
ordinances will meet with opposition and

said that the rl&n was legally defective.
the council decided not te purchase land
adjoinmg Mercer park on three side and
to cancel the taxes as consideration,
Tsxes Involving 117.000 were Involved
and the attorney held that to cancel
these taxes would be to virtually take
that "sum from-the sinking fund for park
purposes.
Taxes on the Salvation Army Rescue 1
home were ordered cancelled, but the Oer-
man Evangelical church and the North
Side Christian church were refused like
requests as the property in question has
not been used for religious purposes.
A resolution Introduced by Mr. Elsasser
asking for the assessment of cost of paving
on Sixteenth street upon a twenty-foot
tract of land owned by Thomas Swift, south
of the Sixteenth street viaduct, was re
ferred to the committee ot the whole.
Steps were taken for the opening of an
alley between Farnam and Douglas streets
from Twentieth street to Twenty-fourth.
The alley is to he twenty feet aide.
Spring street, between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-sixth, was narrowed by the sale of
eight feet on either side to owners of abut
ting property.
Bids for paving Flore iv-e boulevard from
Twenty-fourth street to Sherman avenue
were rejected and the clerk ordered to ad
vertise for new ones.
One of the largest appropriation ordi
nances in the history of the city was passed.
It carried 169,175.80.
Tfew Ordinances
New ordinances were Introduced as fol
lows: One to license the operation of lunch
wegons, restricting them as to hours and
fixing licenses from 115 to tM per year; to
regulate the sale of merchandise on, the
streets and to prohibit the sale of candy
not protected from the weather; to narrow
Capitol avenue, from Twenty-second to
Twenty-third streets and to sail the north
twenty-seven feet to abutting property
owners; to change grade of Thirtieth street
from Dewey avenue to a point 191 feet south
of Dewey avenue; to set sslde -15.000 for
paying half cost of grading certain streets',
to license houaemovers and regulate the
removal of buildings.
Ordinances passed included one to ap-
ni'E?J"
streets, from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth;
to nsrrow Spring street by taking eight
feet from either side; changing grade of
alley between Dodge and Davenport streets,
from Thirty-second to Thirty-fourth; to

Immediately west of the mills of the Illi

Is a colony about three-qdartera of a mile

has no counterpart anywhere on the globe.
There are -In the colony from T.n to W.oot
men of thirty different nationalities, speek
Ing In thirty different tongues, and living in
thirty different ways.
To the stranger it might seem as if these
thirty different countries had each sent a
number of their men as exhibits for a
sort of International living museum. Bu
this Is not the case. The mea were-drtven
from home by poverty, and they came to
South Chicago to work In the steel mills

Legendary heroes braved the dragon In

dollars with which to pay back taxes and
redeem their soil from the hands of an
oppressive and despotlo European regime.
Duty and necessity, not adventure, bind
them to their task, and the minute these
duties and necessities are met they leave

In 1S31 the American people were free,
but they held In their hands the land tools
of slaves. They had to labor and sweat
in the fields, with the crude Implements
that had been produced by aces of slaverv.
For two generations the sickles, flails ndT5n?lct,u ul ,V,mti

to build up a prosperous republic, had

Enterprise was not then a national char
acteristic. The few men who dared td
suggest Improvements were persecuted as
enemies of society. The first iron plows
were said to poison the soil. The first
railroad was torn up. The first telegraph
wires were cut. The first sewing machine
was smashed. And the first man who sold
coal in Philadelphia was chased from th

You should not be- deluded with the Idea
that disease and ailments of men will cor
rect themselves they seldom If ever do.
It Is useless to worry about the past cause
after the treuble beeomes once established.
The fact that it now exists makes it neces
sary that there should be no apathy, no
delay, no experimenting, no deferring
treatment until later on. Special disease
or affections resulting therefrom should
not be tampered with, owing to th natural
tendency of every disease to continue to
progress and assume more serious propor
tions if active measures are not employed
to bring about a complete and radical cur.
Io not let a temporary subsldenoe of some
of the more prominent symptoms lull you
Into a sense of fancied security.

Helen,' she replied, 'thst you hav been
hiking around little old New York and
don't know what Marmola Is? Why, It's the
sensation of the day. It's just a ordinary
doctor's prescription, but extraordinary iu
Its results. I take a teaspoonful after
every meal and one before retiring and
Just keep along my leisurely pace, letting
Marmola keep me down in weight.' "Now,"
said Helen, "1 took the girl's advice and
In consequence t got down from 171 t 140
Inside of a month. I'm teaching dancing to
a be-yof prospective Casino girls, all,of
whom are taking Marmola."
The Marmola prescription reads: Half
ounce Marmola, 4 ounce Fluid Extract
Caacasa Aromatic, and V ounces Syrup
Simplex.
In these days, when there Is so much
substitution going on. It Is as well to see
that you get Marmola In the original pack
age, and when you have ample, guarantee
that for sheer merit of goodness there Is,
nothing to equal It. Don't confound the
Marmola Prescription with anything for
which similar claims are put forth. It Is In
no sense a patent medicine. It Is a doc
tor's prescription.
