Champion Man-Fiater.
DIES AT ADVANCED AGE
News comes from Vienna of the death
OF fTaule1n marie lrrS2ng, VINO Claimed
to be the champion man-hater" of the
world. The fraulein was loyal to her
sex-antagonism to the last. and in her
will directed that no man should be al
lowed to take part in her funeral pro-
cession. An early disappointment in
love is believed to have been the cause
of Maries hatred of the mere man"
She was a member of society called
the Jungfrauen Verein, an association
of old girls ana young girls who had
been converted to the anti-man views
of Fraulein Irrgang. Though the frau
lein decreed that no man should take
part in her funeral procession, she
could not prevent men from looking on;
and the streets through which the pro-
cession passed were thronged with the
male animals she so much detested,
gazing curiously at the unique sight.
The procession was composed of an i'm
mense throng of women of all ages
and all social conditions, and of depu
ties from every woman'S society in
Austria But Maries directions were
not carried out to the letter after all,
for the banner of the Jungfrauen We're
in was so heavy that no woman could
be found who was strong enough 20
carry it. says the New York Press. So

sex, who marched along. the only man
in the procession.
Fraulein Irrgang had a rival in Frau
lein Gretchen Marie Schultz, an old
maiden lady of Berlin who was known
throughout Germany as ''the MAMMA
ter" Having had an unfortunate love
affair SO years ago she vowed that she
never would speak to or, if possible
look upon a man again as long as she
lived, and, being a woman of wealth,
she was able to keep her vow until her
death not long ago. She bought a re-
tired house about a dozen miles from
Berlin and equipped it from basement
to garnet with furnishings made by the
hands of women. She surrounded her
self with a band of women. each of
whom took similar vow of perpetual
hatred of the opposite sex, and SO skill
fully were things managed that for 80
years the fraulein neither saw nor spoke
to man or boy.
Another man-hater, and one who car
ried her hatred beyond the tomb was
Marie Lenoir, who died in Paris a few
months ago. BY her will she left her
whole estate, valued at $4,000, in trust
to two women of her acquaintance

Americans Set Style For Paris.
INTRODuCE SHORT SKIRTS.

INTRODUCE SHORT SKIRTS
The American woman has the salts
faction of setting fashion now and
then, even in Paris itself. The latest
blessing she has conferred upon the
French women is the short walking
skirt, says a writer in the Sun.
During the Exposition the Partisan
women cast envious eyes at the Ameri-
cans. Nine out of ten of the latter wore
walking skirts. They shared the dis
tinction with the English women; but
with all true cousinly affection for the
English 1t must be said that their fig
ures are not our figures nor their walk
ing skirts our walking skirts"
In fact. the look of longing which
would creep into a French woman 5
face when she saw an American girl
in golf skirt and trim shoes would fade
into nay-nad Pauline expression when
she caught sight of a lank English wo-
man bearing down upon her.
The Paris papers took up the skirt
question and seemed to promise that the
short skirt would be worn by French
women before the summer was over.
But the Parisians are prone to regard
any foreign fashion with suspicion.
They are buying no pigs in pokes. So
the Exposition shut its gates and yet
the short skirt remained the sign of
AmericRnism.
The only encoura ging thing was the
appearance in the shape of the double
faced cloths for the making of these
skirts. Even then the tailors did not
know how to handle them. They talked
about Innings and gave estimates on a
suit with silk lining or with a cotton
one! But at last the inevitable has hap
pened- The Partisan woman has yield
ed to temptation. A Paris fashion cor
respondent writes:
Goats are much stitched and the
skirts of walking dresses are being
made shorter; in fact. to show the foot.
There has been no end of talk here
about the length of the gowns worn in
the street and much uncertainty as to
what would be adopted; but it is now
beyond dispute that all really smart
people wear their walking gowns well

A Coat Novelty.
A novelty in coats is shown in one of
the leading stores on the avenue; it is
of heavy black kersey, three-quarters
length. The back of the coat follows
the lines of the figure. but 1t has loose
fitting front. 1t has triple cape of the
kersey. reaching well over the should
ers. and a high collar. 1t has good
sized revers OF soft gray velvet.
tiny cut steel buckles.
The Raglan.
The raglan is growing in popularity
if not in beauty. A raglan is a very
convenient wrap to possess. for it is so
long and loose fitting that any kind of
a gown may be worn underneath. But
there are many disadvanta ges about
the raglan. If they are long they trail
in the mud or dust. for 1t is impossible
to hold them up; If they are short and
worn with long skirt it is an utter i'm
possibility to hold the skirt up. and If
the short ones are worn with short
skirts they look very ungraceful. The
raglan Is SO conspicuous that unless one
has other wraps te change off with
few women care 10 put their money into
them.
Most short women fight shy of the
raglan, for it cannot fail to make them
look shorter. and there is scarcely a
tail woman who has not a hankering
after them, for they tend to lessen her
height. The raglans with the half
fitting backs are especially pretty The
light ones are more striking. but the
dAfk ones are mare serviceable and Will
be worn more this winter.
