STYLES ARE CONDEMNED. Certain Popular Dances, Say Clergy| men, Also Tend Corrupt Young People. ___ News and Courier. j Much comment^ especially among j womerL has followed tihe Diocesan council's action in passing resolutions that comdemn the prevailing styles in dress and in dancing as Tencnng I "to break down chastity and purity." i The Episcopal clergymen are directed by the resolutions to preach on the subject before the session of the 124th council. The deputies to the Triennial General convention in New York are required to ask that body to take sr.'table action -expressing its opposition to modes that <ire not considered modest. The resolutions were presented by th-? Rev. Walter Mitchell, rector of the Porter .Military Academy.

Fashions' Blindly Followed. ! According to a woman of fashion. I many Charleston women personally I endorse the spirit in which the council I i has made its protest, but she said ti:at ! women were all but powerless since ' the decres of fashion ar-9 blindly followed. "The narrow-bottomed skirt, is an abomination," she continued, Women are not graceful in their movements when they wear some of the current styles. My friends and 1 Viavo nfton flicr-iicspH thp matter. hut we cannot stick to the old ways unless v.-- volunteer to retire. As a matter of fact, the women of Charleston ! and other South Carolina towns have ; not adapted the extremes. Some of j thos- who want to appear up-to-the-i I minute in affairs of dress have dis-1 played advance costumes, but, taken j en masse, the women of this section j have not gon? the length of theirj sisters of the Eastern and Western' parts of the country.

The resolutions are of a kind with those passed by other religions organizations, the members of which believe that present day styles and present day dances are corrupting manners, J the danger spreading. But resolutions, addresses and editorial articles ! have not had appreciable effect on the women who follow 'the fashions. The Limit. ) Bobbie had been allowed to sit up j a little while after supper on condi! tion that he keep quiet. But Bobbie ; had a lot of questions that he wanted | to ask and the sum of them sent him I to bed. j "Papa," he began innocently enough, 'cr.n God do everything?" "Yes, :ny son, surely." "Can he make a two-foot rule with only ona end of it?" j "Dor.'t ask such foolish questions, sonnie!" Brief silence; then: "Pa. is it true that a camel can go 10 days without water?" { "Yes," a little wearily. | "Then, pa, how many days could he ! go with water?" I And that, of course, was Bobbie's cue to go swiftly upstairs. A Job for Martin Luther. i The little woman who occupied a ' seat close to the lecturer on a rubber' neck wagon which was bowling down i Fourteenth street in Washington Qg.e I day, was curious. She was determin' ed to get her money's worth out of | the trip, says the Popular Ma.gazine. ! Th-? wagon was passing the famous statute of Martin Luther, which stands on a triangle near a Lutheran church. | "On your left," said the lecturer, assuming a pose which would have done credit to Solomon, "is th-e statue of ; Martin Luther." i "Who was Martin Luther?" asked the little woman. "Why,*' replied the lecturer, in dis> dain. "the Rev- rend Doctor Luther. j the first pastor of this church." Burbanli's New Job. Popular Magazine. j Physically speaking, Ollie Ja:n=s, i the senator from Kentucky, weighs j close to 300 pounds and in a political ' sense he tips the scales at 1.500 tons. ; His last achievement was to give ! Luther Burbank the plant wizard, a new and difficult job. I Last summer James tourea uanj fornia, and one day he lunched with j Burbank, who seemed intensely inter! ested in the vast amount of food the j big Kentuckian stowed away and his manner of doing the stowing. Immediately after the lunch the scientist made a quick dash back to his experimental station. ' Why are you in such a hurry, Luther?" asked one of the party. "I want to rush back," He re| plied seriously, "and see if I can't propagate a square-shaped pea that won't roll off of Ollie's knife." j .. Were Better Acquainted.

"You may call me what you please, madam." was the uhvsician's quick r ply. "I am frank enough to admit,; however, that some of my friends call me an old fool."
