Young and Protty Women Photographed in Tights, Some Modest Creatares are Content With the Divided Skirt—A Three Hundred Poundor Who Want- ' ed to Wear Nothing but a Cigarette, N. Y. Sunday Mercury: ‘‘There was a time when the posing for photographs in costume was a special privilege of the actress,” said & Chatham street photo- grapher to a Mercury reporter. N he continued, *many women in this city think that they look just as well in tights as the actresses, and day after day I am called upon to photograph some societ beauty in costume. The practice has de- veloped into a craze and the photograph* ors are compelled to keep nearly every style of fancy dress in existence. But we have more women call for costumes which show_off their figure than any other sort. Now, if you step in here I'll show you how we manufacture our cos- tumes. " In the next room were three girls work- ing away at a new suit made out of old. “By the judicious use of RED VELVET AND THIS THIN MATERIAL," continued the photographer, “with a lib- eral allowance of the spangles, we can make a King’s yal rig into almost any- thing else year there is a run on “Mikado" costumes. Respectable women come twos and threes to be taken as little maids from school, but they want the open skirt in the majority of cuses. This gives the ladies a chance to show one linb—a la Goddess of Liberty—and this satisfies those who are too modest to have their pictures taken in tights. Then many ladies prefer the decollette dress, but these females are the one whose choices are very scleet. They al- ways have card photos, and wouldn't think of sitting for a tintype. A VERY PRETTY GIRL of about nineteen summers came here one day and modestly asked if I'd photograph her in tights, I'said yes, showed her to the dressing room and handed her a new costume. hen she again made her ap- pearance she was a very queer sight. Thy costume was too small for her and fitted her fall, plump form skin tight.

Then she rattled, stampea her little foot and: what 1 kept a photogravhing. est ment for if 1 wouldn’t photograph tomer. 8he said she \\'ouh take eight dozen card photos of herself in that cos- tume, and when I asked her what she meant to do with them she said she would sell them for a dollar each. 1 told her to |j>u{ on her elothes and get out, which she duc IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE to catalogue the various positions which some very respe lioRe b man want their photos n.

An Interesting Temperance Meeting - The Chautanqua Assembly— New Bulldings—Other News Iten Cretr, Neb., Ma ~[Correspond- ence of the BEE]--A very interesting temperance meeting was held at the opera house Sunday, when the following question was discussed: “How would prohibition affect our town as regards business interests?”’ The question was well considered in all its points by the Rev. Mr. Duffield, Professor A. B. Fair child, Messrs, 8. R. Foss, E. ¥. Stephens, A. W.Jones and Frank Hartigan. All had given the subject much thought and were unanimously of opinion that, while business might be affected for a time by non-license system, the permanent r sult would be a financial benetit. That we have more firm temperance men among our business men than many of us has supposed, has been proven since the recent temperance moyement, Professor Sw ‘s new residence s al most completed, and those who have ob served the intense interest he has had in superintending its erection, notwith standing the pressure of his other num- s duties, will readily forgive little fits of absent mindednes on the t of the professor since they know the causo, Riding is afavorite pastime with a number of ladies and gentlemen of our town, who go out almost every evening. Buing very tine-looking people they at- tract universalatten tion, especially when a tardy young man reaches the meeting place just ten minutes too late and he and the rest of the party skirmish abont for an indefinite period before they dis- cover ench other. Mr. Waterman, one of our prominent lumber merchants, is planning for the erection of a number of cottages in the Assembly grounds, to be ready for use during the summer.

Mr. Bolton was born in Mas adduated from Amberst college i He atterwards traveled extensively through Europe, during which time ho corresponded for the Chieago 'Tribune, Boston Congregationalist, Springtield Republi ournals, He has tr. 0 miles in Russi all over Amercea, and but recently visited Norway and Sweden. achnsetts During the year 188185 he lectured to large audicnces in the south, and gave fourteen entertainments during the ex- position at New Orleans. This was followed by an en, to manage the grand music which dedieated Cleveland’s gr e nt at music hall, where the leading prima donnas of Europe and America were secured to take lv:\l'(, Here be introduced the won- derful London illuminated fountain. Mr. Bolton is represented as a man of wonderful tact and exccutive ability, and no doubt will prove to be one of the principal attractions during the assembly. T. H. Leavitt, auditor of the B. & M. land départment, and E. M. Welch, gen’ eral agent of tne'John Deere Plow com- puny, came down from Lincoln yester- day and selected lots in the assembly grounds Others would do well to follow their example, and thus secure the most desirable locations in the most de- Tightful of summer resorts for the years to_come.
