Whisper it not in Askclon. but the
HteSt-the very latcSt-fad iS-gucSS?
No; you cannot? Well. then, nothing
less than anklets! OF course it is all
owing to the Midway plaisancc, this
dreadful fashion, for the bangles seen
there about the ankles of the oriental
women were voted very odd and most
becoming, don't you know-and so
we are to have them in civilization
The women who do IL little amateur
skirt dancing (Which is very fashion
able, indeed started the thing, and
now everybody is supposed to be wear
ing an anklct, though no one can really
find out-eXcept through anOther's dear
est friend. 1t is not certain that the
fad will become very popular. 1t is an
expensive one and besides trife I'M
comfortable. With amateur skirt
dancing of course it's advantages can
easily be seen, but where one is not IL
dancer it's advantages are not so pro
nounced. 1t is an expensive fad, be-
cause the anklct must be made from
pure metal, and, Of course, novelty
always costs money, and ones indi-
vidual taste must always be exercised
in the designing. But Christmas will
see many of them on exhibition in the
shops, and in the meantime if any wo-
man wants to be very swell she must
have one and only tell her most init
mate friend, because otherwise the
fact that she is wearing it will never
become known. But never, never, since
that other bangle craze of several years
ago has there been anything so utterly
barbaric in style.

MUST LEARN TO LOOK GRAVE.
A Californian Woman Who Has Been
Appointed Court Commissioner.

new departure for women is indi-
Gated in the appointment of Miss Mel
lie M. Emerson, of San Francisco, as a
commissioner of the United States
court of land claims That position is
u judicial one in it's way. That is,
Commissioner Emerson, as she will
probably be called, will take testimony
as an examining officer, and will have
the "Say"-dear to every woman's
heart-about whether the statements
made to her are relevant, competent
and material or the opposite. She will
not adjudicate, but she can at least
look grave and keep the lawyers in line.
This is, so far as is known to the Call,
the first time a woman has been ap-
pointed to a quasi-judiciaI position I'M
der the United States government.
Miss Emerson's appointment came
about in this way: When Attorney
Thomas Ball, of Virginia, was in Cali
fornia last summer Miss Emerson
proved herself q valuable assistant to
him in his Investigations under the
Indian depreciation act signed by Pres
ident Harrison. Together they made q
tour of inquiry from Eureka to Los
Angeles, and when Mr. Ball returned
to Washington he carried a very good
opinion of Miss Emerson's abilities.
Miss Emerson is native daughter.
She was born about 81 years ago in
Oakland. Her education Miss Emerson
received both in California and the
east She went through the Oakland
high school, and then added tuitive
course in Maine and one in Boston.
For several years she has conducted a
typewriting business in rooms in San
Francisco
