TRIVIAL, YET POTENT.
The Tyranny of the Small and ths

The tyranny OF llttlcncss" IS the
cruel despotism not of one master. but
Of a multitude of small ones. Witness
the lronclad sway which any sovereign
ruler of the kitchen may WELD over n
helpless household. What happiness or
misery Is bestowed lightly by one who
turns n toaster or brews a pot of cof-
feel
We are all slaves TO milllners and
tullors. The mllkman holds us helpless
In his clutches. The chore man orders
us about The maid OF all work beck

scrape before the naughty plumber.
We who would strike down mon
archs and measure swords with MIN
listers OF finance what sorry figures
we cut In the community II slighted by
the laundrymen! We scarce can hold
our own against a surly railway por-
ter, and It is but by the courtesy of
Master Boots that we emerge from
our hotel apartment. Aud who shall
stand before the overwhelming power
vested in an offended waiter? We
cannot even mount a trolley car II the
conductor and motorman choose to ig.
more us.
The man who rules the Stock Ex-
change cannot rest mt night because an
infants voice banlshes dreams lie Is
victim to the insect world. Who
win abolish the tyranny OF flies and OF
mosquitoes?
Behold the tyranny of horses, dogs
and cats. 20 which the great majority
Of mortals submit without a murmur
What master Is as exacting as n tight
shoe or a torturlng collar? A parrot
or n pet canary can sadly try mems

Her MODESTY GOVERNED BY GEOGRAPHY

Women's modesty as regards custom
and attire is largely a matter CT
geography The attire deemed emin-
entity fit and proper in Wilmington,
doubtless would be eyed askance in
Greenland or the Sahara, while the
costumes of a Figi island woman would
be lermed highly improper here.
Climate, OF course, has a ereat deal
TO 10 with it. For instance. in San
Salvador there is an ordinance ae-
quiring persons of both sexes to wear
no less than one garment within the
city limits. Granting this fact, it must
be- admitted that habit and custom
have even more to do with the case.
The women of the Occident and
those Of the Orient are as different as
If one resided in the clouds and the
Others under the earth. There Is
nothing dearer to an American women
than her flying trips here and there.
Nine cut of every ten would start on
a globe-trotting trip at a couple Cf
days notice end enjoy every minute OF
the time. On the other hand, the
Chinese belle and matrcn live behind
closed doors. Confucius certainly did

so her face is covered, the rest is a
matte, Of supreme indifference TO her.
She wears a veil that really conceals

known here as bloomels, which may
come far above the ankle. This nab

her entire face. The American woman
covers her entire face, too. but her veil

bright eyes, glow to her comp'exic1,
and a sheen to her hair But, while
tho Egyptian woman wells her count

bloomcrs that are decidedly short and
wears anklets and bangles that call at
tention to her ankles.
The Bohemian peasant girl wears in
the fields skirts that fairly trail, while
her arms and shoulders are hare. Her
French sister wears the shortest sort

Now for the Slipping Shoulder

If all rumors are to be believed the
broad-shouldered girl will soon find
herself out of fashion and her less
athletic sister with the sloping should
ers, will find herself very much to the
fore The new fashions IN everything
are said to be responsible for this
state OF affairs. The sleeve is made
so as to give this sloping effect. The
shoulder is cut very long and the
sleeve is sewed in with little or no full
ness. The seam is turned inside the
armhole against the waist, which in
oreases the dropping effect. Sleeves
are becoming more and more elabor-
ate, growing larger from the elbow to
the wrist The double effect is FRO

Saturday. however, ihows larger in
