RUBBER HIPS.
They are the Successors of the hustle With
New York Women.

They are the Successors Of the hustle with
New York Women.
Although the hustle has been
doomed and has sunk into obscurity,
yet womenlsind is not satisfied, and
makeshift is in sight, or rather, il is in
use and not in sight. 1t has taken the
form this time of artifcially developed
hips. 1t is the same old hustle that
has reappeared, but it is cut in two,
and the two halves moved around one
on each side. A lady who knows all
about such things told me- She had
one on herself, and when commented
on her increased robustness she
laughed, blushed, patted her hips and
said:
Its not me, it's rubber. False hips
are the latest craze. and one that is
becoming popular with wonderful
rapidity. The pads are made of in
fated rubber bags. They are not so
announcement as the old time hustle
and not much more of nuisance to
wear. Go down Fifth avenue any day
and you will be surprised at the num-
Der of remarkably broad-hipped
women you will meet They have
grown wonderfully stout in the past
month"
''Why do they do it?"
''Oh, the great advantage to be
gained in appearance is the smaller
look It gives to the waist. l don't
think there is any other reason.
That's quite enough for any woman.

and the effect is unpleasant. Again.
too, l am always in fear that a pin
will puncture one Of the things, and
that one side of me will go off with a

accident. It's horrible to think off,
