Women sweep the streets with their trains
now, but in the time of Henry " the men
were the aggressors. Thomas Orcliff wrote in
that day: I'm nv opinion It is an evil to see
men walking in gowns Of scarlet twelve yards
wide, with sleeves reaching to the ground and
lined with fur Now, would to God this waste
of cloth and pride were exiled from us forever,
for now we have little need of brooms in the
land to sweep away the filth from the street, be-
cause the side sleeves will gather 1t up If it
should be wet or dry" Another says: "The
men are besotted in excess Of apparel in wide
surcoats reaching to their loins, some in gar
ments reaching to their heels, close before and
strutting out on the sides. so that on the back
they make men seem women. and these things
they call by the ridiculous name gowns
And still another: $50 much waste of cloth in
variety, but there is costly Turing in their
gowns. So much pounding of chisel to make
holes. So much bagging of shears, with the su-
perfuity In length of aforesaid gowns trailing
In the mire, on horse and also on foot!''

From the New York Sun.
"Three cheers for the first single tax munich
pality!'
Big-lunged William McCabe, the president,
led the Manhattan Single Tax Club last night
in a rousing round of cheers for the town Of
Hyattsville, Nd, which has just adopted the
single tax. Among the cheerers was Henry
George.
"This little town." said President McCabe
twill never be forgotten. Its name willlve long
as freedom lives. When the rights Of all men to
the land shall be recognized there will be many
loving hands to point to Huntsville as the town
that blazed the way"
Mr.. McCabe gave review of the ''single-
taxizing" of Hyattsville. The town lies just
outside Of Washington and has q population Of
1000. It is practically suburb Of Washington.
1t is on the Metropolitan branch Of the Balti-
more and Ohio road. Some single-taxers live
there. They went to work a few years ago and
got the legislature to pass an act empowering
the town commissioners to exempt Improve.
ments from taxation.
Then three single-taxers ran for town COM
missioner Five members compose the board.
The three were elected. The remaining two
were anti-single tax. At the last meeting Of
the board Of commissioners, week ago last
night, the committee ON inquiry as TO the best
method Of taxation reported in favor Of ex-
empting Improvements from taxation and levy
ing a tax Of Is cents per el0o on the land values
Of the town. The vote In tho board stood three
to two. The three that voted for il said they
did 20 not expecting any special decrease in the
price Of land % the abolition Of the tax ON

sidered unseemly and immodest. One leg only
was giddily embroidered. With the tights the
corset, blouse and enormous pulled sleeves
were worn With this the long MANTLE as well
as the short furred cape of today, was also
worn. Walpole leaves this description Of the
wardrobe Of one gentleman:
