people says the London Daily News, that
the late NJ. Worth was the first man mil
liner Of European reputation This IS a
mistake, as has been pointed out by a
learned writer in The EcIair- The first
man mnliner Of whom history takes no
1ice was Rohmberg, who became famous in
Paris in the reign Of Louis Ky. he was
the son OF a Bayarian peasant His man
ner OF advertising in the early part OF the
eighteenth century was 10 send out carts,
the body OF which represented corset,
while the shafts were made IN Imitation
OF a pair OF tall0rs shears. The notion
got abroad that he was extremely skill
ful in hiding little deformities in the dgure
and the vogue he enjoyed in consequence
was immense. Although he was but few
years IN business, dying at The early age
OF 80 years. he left fortune estimated at
$4,000 or $50 COO. a large sum for a trades
man to have earned in those days. Under
the First empire his successor was Leroy,
who dressed the princess Of the imperial
court. At the period Of the restoration
ne lived IN retirement in a splendid man
sion in the Rue Richelieu, where he en-
tertained in princely style. Leroy was
said 10 be a witty, clever man. and model

work of the darncr and the laundress both
are considerably diminished. Up TO this
time the expense OF splitting, twisting and
preparing paper yarns for commercial use
has been so high that manufacturers Of
fabrics have found little inducement 10
use them ia making textiles. Lately. how
ever, a number Of paper-pulp manufactur-
ers have been az work on the problem Of
producing cheap pulp yarns, with the re-
suit that new process has been fOrmu-
lated. The old method Of splitting, twist
ing, etc. has been done away with. and
a much simpler and inexpensive mode
has been adopted.

II is already the correct thing, says the
thlcago Tribune, for women OF our leisure
class 10 go about in wet weather. Ii is
part OF their physical culture not to be
kept in by a biz OF rain, you know. Be
sides. scotch mlsts and English foqs are
world renowned for good complications,
why not the American drizzle? Already
rufiied petticoats and put on cloth knick-
eTbockers and leggings for rainy days, so
that when II is necessary to lift her skirts
she has only the dress skirt TO think Of.
IL is only one more step to short skirts.
Dress reform within conservative limits
Is proposed by the Teachers College Of
New York, in which the skirt shall clear
the ground by six inches. knickerbockers
replace the usual array OF underskirts and
melton leggins button from the instep to
the knee, The committee has laid down
no rules for the waist or coat or vest
leaving that to personal taste IL being the
idea only to guard against wet skirts
during the pneumonia and grip season
and heavy skirts that injure the health the
year round.
A London paper tells a story Illustrating
Queen Nictoria's well known strictness in
the matter of precedence. AS she was
about TO take train with the Empress
Frederick at Paddington station recently,
she reached the door of her saloon car
riage first; she drew back at once, how
ever, and motioned the empress to 90 in
before her The empress protested, ana
for few seconds there was a little argu-
ment between mother and daughter as TO
which should have precedence, and the
queen, laughingly insisting. the empress
finally entered before her mother, This
was a striking example of the queens
punctlnousneSS in observing the rank of
her daughter and guest. Concerning this
matter OF precedence, il seems a little odd
that the Duchess OF York who is the
mother or the probable future ruler Of
england, IS yet quite low In the ranks
at court. The queens daughters and
daughters-in-law all have precedence Of
her, and. according TO Truth, her place
at a drawing room is between the Duch-
ess OF Albany and the Duchess of Teck

throne, whether her rank Will be raised.
1T is very seldom that a woman really
understands herself well enough to wear
what IS always becoming and suits her
style remarked an artist the other day
TO the New York Tribune. 1T is a sort
of hit or misa' affair with them generally
Tor they seldom consider the question Of
harmony and fitness. 1 saw Mrs Y

toria, She wore a copper-colored gown
which exactly matched the metallic

Tor instance; every woman knows how
one shade of blue in a dress will complete
ly destroy another, and how disagreeable
the luXtaposiuon is of two shades which
do not accord. And yet woman with
blue eyes assumes that every shade OF
blue is becoming 10 her, whereas one
blue Will intensity the coloring Of her
eyes, and another win cause them to look
pale and faded, while still another will
turn them positively green. The only
safe rule is TO take different blues to a
strong light. and actually match them
with the eye itself. With the various
shades of pink the same rule holds in re-
gard to, the complexion. Some browns
cause the hair to look muddy while
others help to bring out the glints of
rich color which may be found more
or less in every shade of healthy dark
hair. Tans affect blonde colorng in the
same manner. The only way to deter
mine what shades best suit each indi-
viduai is to carefully study juXtaposition
in strong light.
