Incidents and Observations.

BLESS YOUR GALLUSES!
BY Il. l.. GRAY.

skirts with elastic bands from the
shoulders could never have obtained
lodgment in her pretty little head, II
her eyes had not observed the phe-
nomenon on one of her sisters. But IN
Raleigh she is the temporary leader
and it is well.
1t would be vitality interesting to
know how and when the suspender
idea originated What circumstance
induced the first gallus girl to discard
her belt and borrow from her big
brother? What narrowing tale lies
behind the Inauguration of this new
fashion? But what a comfort 1t must
have been, when the first woman, lack
ing the confinement of the restrictive
belt felt over her shoulders the sooth-
ing delight of a pair of elastic gal
luses! No wonder it has become
style, and, like the shirt waist, may it
have come to stay.
1t would do q man good, however,
especially q man of the farms with his
breeches precariously depending from
some ancient and honorable pair of
SuSpenderS with tWigS stuck through
the eye-lets for buttons. to have noted
the makeup of the masculine con-
traption of this little girl of the gal
luses. Man generally runs, especially
in suspenders, to sober hues. The
color in fact is almost always nom
descript. SuspenderS, like pipes, are
worthless anyway unless they are old.
The true lover of a gallus prefers
color that contains suggestion of red,
a hint of blue and a faint line of yell
low. The whole is q result which is
beyond art, mixture of the sun and
the rain and the moisture that fol-
lows on work. But the girl is not
that way. The particular pair refer
red to constituted a June poem. They
were, primarily, red, the reddeSt red
in the world, with queer purple lights
in it. And, instead of the straight.
slick bands of masculine elastic, these
suspenders We're frilled. They We're
gathered They blossomed at about
every inch and half into clusters of
''iutes' Where the little metal clasp
to increase or lessen the tension
should have been, there were two
lovers knots of ribbon. On the
shoulders We're other punches of
bright colored frills and in the small
of the back, Just where the galluses
criss-cross. one band over the other,
was a bow as big as sun-flower and
of even brighter hue.
The lady of the suspenders wore her
galluses on the outside, but it should
be emphatically understood that she
was not in negIigee. We have been
accustomed to think of the sight of
suspenders in connection with very
hard work and q total absence of So
cial obligation. In the case of the wo-
man who wears them they are the
fullest. of full dress.
Seriously. there should be great hope
for men in this new fashion. Any
thing which will dignity the gallus,
which will give it the rights to which
its utility entitled it, tends to the
of nan and his comfort

She was a pretty little trick and
she went down the pavement with the

The stride included probably fourteen

is the only creature in the scale above
an owl who can see behind with eyes
to the front. The very unconcern of
this small damsel showed that she ap-
preciated to the full the track of sen
sation that she was creating. Men
stopped openly and stared: little boys
ran along behind as much interested
almost as if the steam calliope of the
circus was in tranSitu. People came
to the windows above. And the little

the mysterious Y shaped affairs that
one sees pictured in the Ladies' Home
and warranted in some way to make
a convex front" as straight as a
shingle. which in reality means as
concave as the face of a new moon.
These were sure enough suspenders.
They were galluses. There was no
doubt about 1t. Their purpose was
open and above board. They hooked
on the waist-band frankly. They
crossed in the back and swayed as the
small shoulders bent themselves to the
quick steps.
The little girl was evidently just the
newest thing ever! She created envy
as well as interest as she went her
way. other women looked critically
as they passed, seeming, of course, 10
be unconcerned. But they had no
suspenders. One felt for them. But
they We're gathering the details. One
knew that suSpenders would be as
common on the women in a week as
tails used to be on dogs. 1t is all i'm
the fashion. BY the time every wo-
man who looked has time to make her
galluses, there will be no concern ex-
pressed in their wearing. 1t would
only make one a fright" to appear
without 'em. Time was when every
dog had a tail. Suddenly there APP

railroad track and doZed too long. He

into the ash barrel. almost before it
was born. tail now is to argue its
possessor a canine countryman.
The Aesop fables are still doing
business both with the tails of dogs
and the trappings of women.
OF course the little trick with the
