GET CLOSER TO SUN Waidberg’s Simple Life Colony Does So by Being Nude. B|l ~ EHpn and Women of Swiss Settlement SB Live Almost Without Clothing W and Children Wear None— B Say Nature So Intended. pi Zurich, Switzerland.—ln one small section of Switzerland the residents go through heat wave, snow storm and northern blast with impartial calm ness. The name of the colony is the “Lienbluftheim" (light and air home) and it is located on the Waidberg, overlooking the town of Zurich. While in the town 1 heard reports of the thoroughness of the methods by which the residents in the Waid berg institution get right back to na ture, so I decided to make arrange ments for a closer study. To my surprise I found the people of Zurich, though they have their prude societies, regarded the Waid bergers merely as local curiosities. They showed no desire for the im position of restrictions. On telephon ing to the head of the colony, Herr J. P. Muller, formerly an officer in the Danish army, I received a cordial in vitation to go up and see for myself. Herr Muller is a splendidly built man about 6 feet tall, showing the muscles of a boxer rather than a wrestler, tanned a dark brown from head to foot. He has an intelligent face and laughing eyes. Carl Block, the famous painter, described him as “physically tine most perfect man 1 have ever seen," and I agreed with the description as I watched my compan ion striding along beside me. along," said . he, “you will friends at play."

New York. —There is every reason to believe that the hobble skirt craze is not an importation from France, but was started in this country many years ago, in an indirect way, by Hor ace Greeley. It all began with Mr. Greeley's fa mous old green umbrella, for anyone can see by the accompanying illus tration what a striking similarity there is between it and the fashion able hobble skirted woman of today. Here In America there is very lit tle said against the fad, except that the men of New' York have risen as a body, demanding that no hobble skirts be worn in the vicinity of the Flatiron building. How is the hobble skirt going to affect the great question of the hour —woman suffrage? The movement How It Happened. means a complete “tie-up" for suffra gettes. There is no doubt that the fad will meet with strong approval In this class; for what suffragette does not yearn for shackles? Here Is a chance for one and all to appear in the limelight with their feet tightly bound at the small cost of just a few cents for a good, strong, but short piece of ribbon. Then the rush will be over, and that is how the great blow will fall. The speed of suffragette parades will be cut down to such a low rate that all public officials will have am ple time to make a very comfortable getaway from the rear entrance and escape to some soda fountain long be fore the head of the column has reach ed the front door. Taking it all in all, it looks like a clear case of cut fashion or cut poli tics, and we depend on the ladles not to cut fashion every ilme. This is an age when we are all, stepping along In the grand march of advancement, and the only chance that, the hobble-skirted woman has to keep up with ihe procession Is that the band will strike up a glide waltz Instead of a march. WINS AT THE BEAUTY SHOW Mis i Kitty Darling of Plymouth, Eng land, Defeats Former Queen in Prize Competition. Folkestone, Eng.—Here is the in ternational beauty queen of Europe.

SAID BY THE YOUNGSTERS Some Bright Remarks Worth Pre serving, That Have Fallen From Childish Lips. A little girl, after listening to the hymn, “In heaven there stands an ever open door,” remarked that there must be two heavens, “ ’cause grand rna'd never had any open door where she Is.” And a dear little country laddie, visiting a city Sunday school and hearing about the “many man sions” of the better land, later ex plained that they had been "studying all about ‘Paradise Flats.’ ” Ecclesiastical modes and matters frequently are puzzling to the little ones. A small Chicago citizen was ta ken to a fine church, where the music, windows, furnishings, and all acces sories were as impressive as the build ing. The minister, living up to his enviable reputation as an orator, in-, dulged in a brilliant rhetorical flight. “I know,” he declared, “who gilds the sun and silvers the stars and t paints the flowers and tints the sky : and lends to the rivers their beauty, I to the ocean its glory, to the skies their perfect light,” and so on through I long and effective periods. Finally | came the interrogatory climax: “Who !is it, my friends, who performs all these wonders? Who is it? Who?” Front the front pew where the baby ! listener had been all eager attention came a shrill, disappointed pipe: “You said you knew!” Experience Teaches.
