Hats OFF to the Ladies'.

In Great Britain and in certain ele-
ments Of Ne. York society which en-
deavor to Initiate English manners, the
men. when meeting ladies Of their &C.
quaintance. refrain from doffing their
hats until the fair one has bowed first,
the theory being. that 1t is necessary
that. by SO doing. the lady should grant
permission to the man to salute her.
Everywhere else, however, the men bow
nrst. leaving the lady % acknowledge
their salute or not as she may see NJ.
The Continental practice OF slightly
raising the hat when either making way
to permit a woman to pass by or else
when ~surrendering to her ones seat in
a public conveyance, has been pretty
generally adopted in this country,
though not in England, and should be
rracticed no matter what the appearance
or status OF the woman. The mere fac,
that she Ia q WON IN entities her to this
courtesy, be she one of the Four Hun.

Gray, OF the Supreme Court, q Republi-
can, would designate a District-Attorney
who would hold ONCE until a Presidential
appointment was made and confirmed by

cobus. whose term expired last week.

ton. his successor not having yet
been named by the President. There
Is some doubt whether an appoint

the President alone while the Senate Is
not In session.
The people care very little for politics
In these matters. and Marshal Jacobus
makes an acceptable officer in the posi-
ton he nils. Justice Gray would doubt
less make a selection for District-At-
torney that would not be ~prejudicial to
the public interests. But the Democratic
politicians would certainly not be satis-
fed to see two very important Federal
offices filled by n Republican Judge
through default of the Democratic Presl-
dent.

aside political and personal considera-
tions and nominate an eminently NJ and
desirable lawyer as Mr.. Mitchell's sue
ccssor, he will doubtless be confirmed
at once. Then the public interests will
be promoted. because the appointee will
be assured OF his position, the Democrats
will be satisfied and the public interests
will be protected.

A OUTLOOK.

There are indications of a business re-

The OId-Time Corset.

Corsets are not more than 500 years
old. Before the Christian era women
Of fashion bandaged the figure with
strips OF linen. About the eleventh
century the power Of fashion began to
be felt and e~xtravasant dress ana tight
bandaging Increased. In the fourteenth
century ladies painted. wore patches,
pulled the hair from the forehead and
temples. because high foreheads were
thought beautiful. and washed their hair
In wine to change the color. They also
endeavored to have slender and fair
shapen bodies" and the next century
"corsets framed with steel" were in
vented. In the sixteenth century Cath
crime de Medici introduced tight lacing
In France, and a thirteen-inch waist was
the standard required by fashion. No
woman was considered ''in style whose
waist could not be spanned by two
hands. To produce this. history states
that Y stln corset was worn day and

To the Editor:
With all due respects to kitty" I must say

tho slang. but that expresses II. She says why
don't our American gentlemen learn q trade. be-
come mechanics Of soms kind or other. Does
Kitty know that the average mechanic does
not get as much a. so per week: In fact. there
are thousands Of good mechanics. men who have
served an apprenticsship at their trade. who arc
working for less and are Klad to get It. Why Is
this thusly! simply because there are more work
es than there is work for. and the women who
occupy mems places are largely responsible for
this condition. When one OF the sexes csases TO
become producers, tho one that Ia left in the
field will, on account Of the demand for labor,

As We can't stop the women from producing. let

~GOOd-Fitting shoes

Shoes for children should be selected
with more regard for comfort than -.
vice. A good mt does not imply large
ness. There should be an excess OF sole
leather in length, but sufficient snug
ness In the quarters to prevent slipping.
The toes need and must have ROOM, but
by having the heel, ankle and arch
snugly dressed the foot gets support
and power to resist fatigue. Athletes
Insist on these points In starting for 4

Sensible handkerchief.

Sensible women have been earning new
claim to that adjective lately by select
ing hemstitched initial handkerchiefs in
preference to the one-time fashionable
fimsy cobweb. Apropos Of this. 1t
might be remarked that it is always in
rather questionable taste to tuck a hand
kerchief under the bodice, even with the
excuse Of a pocketless own and the
daintiest and rarest lace-trimmed hand
kerchief %protruding from the bosom OF
the waist is too suggestive to be sane
toned by good taste. A handkerchief
Of fair size. Of fine but firm linen, Is
truly disable. and will go through the
face-mopping Of a shopping expedition
without being reduced to the %stringiness
of the tiny lawn affairs.
