Henry Labouchere, the audacious editor
of London Truth, which is periodical
read by fashionable people, thus expresses
his opinion of the fashions in dress: THE
aim of dressmakers is to make money, and
they find this easy, as they have to deal
with silly people. Each year they alter the
fashions and take care to do this In way
that the dresses of one year cannot be
adapted to that of the next year. Women
are the slaves of these intelligent harpies
They blindly accept the fashions ordained
by them and seem to be entirely ignorant
OF the fact that what may suit one woman
does not suit all. Dressmakers have very
little taste. Even If they have, IT is warped
by their subordinating 1t to finance. Oc-
casionally the fashion which they inaugu-
rate is not absolutely ugly, but It is al
ways overlooked in order that large price
may be charged for the costume"

For and About the Women Folks

never been but one war in the contempla-
ton of sentiment-wore spit curls. Your
sweetheart wore them, as you remember.
Your sister wore them. or, II you are but
young man now, your mother wore
them.
Spit curls appear In the old daguerreo-
types. They were the cunning little crinal
contrivances which the adored ones OF the
period turned up with tiny brushes and
pasted against their temples; tiny raven
or golden brown circlets. The crisp, erin
king ringlets were the darling superlative
manifestation of the frankly conscious
vanity Of the sweetest women who ever
inhabited the earth, up to that time; and
doubtless did more to ensnare the male
species than any other adventurous aid
within the whole range of artfulness, or
artlessness.
Within a minute compass they compre-
hended whole world of destinations and
exerted an influence upon man from which
he never would or never could be delivered
small circles combining the destinies OF
man.
The yong women of today are wise In
reverting to the device of their mothers
That the spit q is positively coming
back is glorious tidlngs and a fine omen
for the race. Its effect will be to silence
many tiresome moralist upon our puta-
tive tendency to effeteness. To see the
spit curl will be to love 1t and to address
to II the graAdest Of romantic declarations
1t viii inspire our hearts with intentions,
it will set us upon our Bonded knee and
put poetry into our mouths. Hats of to
the spit curl.

ReaI American Heroine.

The unwilling of a statue at the Lewis
and Clark exposition calls public atten-
ton to an American heroine who was real
in every sense. No European race can
claim Sacajawea, the Shoshone woman
guide OF Lewis and Clark No myth-de-
stroying historian can cast doubt upon her
work, for 1t is recorded in the prosaic
daily journal of the expedition.
Lewis and Clark met Sacajawea among
the Mandans OF South Dakota. She had
been stolen from her own tribe in child
hood, carried eastward and bought as a
slave wife by Toussaint Chabonneau, a
French Canadian half-breed. The medical
knowledge of the white men enabled them
to aid the Indian girl, and so won her
gratitude. They hired her husband as
guide and interpreter, and had bad bar
gain, for he turned out an idler and a
coward. But his deficiencies were more
than compensated by the merits Of his
wife, without whose aid the expedition
would Drobabaly have been failure.
Soon after the start westward, in the
spring Of 1906, SacaJawea saved the medi-
cal stores, scientific instruments and rec
ords from loss In storm on the river.
Her very presence with her child was a
constant help. The successive tribes among
strangers could not be war party. hav-
ing a woman and child with them. Every
hostility thus avoided was an immense
gain.
At the end Of July the expedition reached
Sacajawea's native country, on what is
now the jefferson river, and met her own
tribe, of which her brother was chief.
There she saved the lives of the party
by thwartlng a plot to abandon them In
the mountains without horses or food,
gained the allegiance OF her people and
with 1t horses and guides for the Anal
journey to the Pacific. More eloquent of
her worth than all the oratory at her
statue a century later are these entries
In the expeditions journals, made on part
ing with her In August, 1906:
She has borne with a patience truly ad.
mirable the fatgues of so long route,
incumbered with the charge Of an infant
who Is even now only IS months old.
Sacajawea, the wonderful Bird-W oman,
contributed fun mans share 20 the
care Of her baby.
Lewis and Clark were not ungrateful

So she vanishes from history, save to

ST. Etlenne is Frances cold girl town"
a name it has carried through two or three
centuries. in which 1t also has held inter-
national supremacy In ribbons. Today 3d.
900 cold" girls operating $1,000 looms in st.
Etienne annually make ribbon enough to
tie the earth up in sill1en bands and throw
off streamers to the planets
For two or three centuries the ribbon
making industry has been supreme here 1t
became a commercial advantage to have
loom operators who did not have nerves.
and who did not perspire. This advantage
developed to a necessity and a peculiar
species Of girls was developed. They are
girls who have no nerves." girls who do
not worry or hurry, girls whose hands do
not perspire A perspiring hand now means
spoiled ribbons, and so carefully have the
feminine hands here been cooled to meet
this need that It seems that ice instead of
blood runs through the veins of the 10000
operatives that today in st. Etienne make
ribbons for the world. AT the neighboring
lace making town of LePuy II is said that
4-year-old girls make lace and that in St.
Etienne they are set to work at that age
cooling of their hands and controlling their
nerves
So remarkably has the training succeeded
that though many OF the cooped-up ribbon
weaving rooms are insufferably hot in sum-
mer the girls at the looms do not sweat,
and in the entire years run of millions of
miles of ribbon, valued at the looms at
IS,00O,000 annually, not 500 worth of ribbon
comes out damaged by perspiration.
