TIE FREEDOM OF FASHION.

Dame Fashion is today the only one
| of her sex, perhaps, who would be will
! ing to admit that she has all her
| rights. The man who has the temerity
! to say her nay is the man whom the
world passes by without a glance. AS
/ for the woman-Well, hard is the lot Of
| her who endeavors to snub the dicta-
/ tress. She says Let there be tight
sleeves" and 10, the large ones vanish.
| She says, Let there be high heels,
| and women hide away in their closets
! footgear which insured comfort and
| slip their feet into shoes which prom
| Use the reverse. She says trousers shall
! be baggy and obedient man folds away
with dispatch. 1t is true the lady has
! had her defeats, but they have not
been other peoples victories Nothing
that she does not prescribe survives,
though in few instances her initia-
tive has not been followed.
Realizing her power today it is diff
| cult to believe how very recent her
emancipation has been. No president
indeed, has ever had the temerity to
push her aside and dictate in her place,
| but kings have not hesitated. Take for
| instance this act, passed during the
reign of the most absolute of the Stew
arts in the year 1910: "All women of
whatever age, rank, profession or de-
gree, whether virgins, maids or wild
ows. that shall from and after the
| passing of this act imposef upon and
betray into matrimony any of his maj
esty's male subjects by scents, paints,
| cosmetics, washes, artificial teeth, false
, hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, high
heeled shoes or bolstered hips shall in
cur the penalties of the law now en-
forced against witchcraft, sorcery- and
such like misdemeanors, and that the
marriage against convictions shall
stand null and void"
Here was an act framed for the pro-
lection of men, to be sure, but aimed
directly at fashion. Her devotees of
today may employ any or all of these
| articles with impunity did the dame
see fit to prescribe them. Spanish
wool" indeed, might give them pause,
but only because the article has more
| unfamiliar sound than the other "im-
positions" No statute book at any
rate prescribes them. Nell Gwyn's
royal lover is not remembered as a
strict censor of the morals of his peo-
pie. And it is probable that the act
was survival of the Cromwellian
spirit which the king was forced to
tolerate. But it shows that even in the
reign of the most dissolute. of mon
archs, fashion was not free. And there
were other times, as the readers of
history know, when she was even more
restricted. Today mistress and maid,
master and man, obey her commands
without any fear of the statute book,
and if the maid outshines the mistress,
the man the master, doubtless Dame
Fashion chuckles in her sleeve while
she plans new follies.

Among the Merrymakers
TRUTH, NOT POETRY.


The world is doing better than it did
some time ago.
We've learned some useful things our
grandsires didn't seem to know.
And. by the information which experience
has gained.
A number of mysterious things are readily
explained.
Why did the fow'ret blush unseen amid
the desert air? -
Why have some sages lived unknown il,
attics chill and bare?
Why is reward withheld from men both
talented and wise?
The answer is as plain-as day. They didn't
advertise.
To merely take the light from meath
bushel will not do.
You've got to keep it blazing where the
passing throng may view.
No matter what you want in life, this fact
you can't disguise:
You'll be dropped from the procession if
you do not advertise.

Roman as the one who had taken out

less sure about Emile. Dehese SINH

PASSING THE BOUQUETS.

1t is a most refreshing sight in these
days when strife marks the progress
Of men to observe with what adnira-
bic tone the governor of Indiana re-
plies to the compliments of that other
great man, the president of the United
States.
The president told the governor that
he was the best good thing occupying
an executive chair outside of Wash
| ington. The governor assures the
president of the continuance of his
distinguished consideration and trusts
| that the lesson they two have taught
| the country will not be lost.
The utterance of the president on the
race question-purely incidental to the
expression of his esteem for his great
and good friend Of Indiana-may not
settle that perplexing, problem. The
rejoinder of the governor will not
change the attitude of Senator Till
man toward the negro But that is not
to the point. The nation. cannot escape
being the better for this exchange of
courtesies The letters of the governor
and the president argue that good will
and esteem which ought to prevail be-
tween men who may be mutually use
full n politics. When a president dem
onstrates that he is not above compli-
menting a mere governor, how can the
little sniveling boy refrain from cult
waiting the pleasing graces of the diplo-
mat and the courtier?
IL the lesson is to be effective it will
be necessary to keep out of sight the
fact that while the president was
throwing bouquets at the governor of
Indiana he might have been expressing
the sentiments of the people on the re-
tirement of Gen. Miles. And if this
fact is brought up in connection with
the correspondence between the presi-
dent and the governor it need not de-
stroy the value OF the lesson taught
1t may be explained that Gen. Miles
is a Democrat and therefore outside
the pale which incloses those of the
elect.

a great deal. He will probably be
