From time immemorial in Cambridge,

roll the butter so as to form a long stick

When dressmaker5 disagree, what
will you? Hoop-skirts or no hoop
skirts-that is the question. The great
dressmakers across the water are try

back, the ladies' tailors are combat
ing with might and main.
Insidiously the danger has crept for
ward, the friends of the hoop-skirt ma
nipulating it's return in a manner so
gradual as to disarm opposition

had the shapely, close-fitting skirt 1t

skirts, and though these have not as
yet by any manner of means been gen.
orally adopted, they have by no man
ner of means been routed.
Where did she get this notion for
inflated dress? We may consign a cos
tune to this period, another to one
not so very far back; and a little delv-
ing by the antiquary will bring to light
the fact that there is nothing new in
dress, countless generations of women
have played variations in the same
theme. We are told Elizabeth intro
duced the first device for producing an
extension of dress, called the fardin-
gale; and just as we settled down to
add this to her list of original sins,
some other authority informs Us dis
tension goes farther back thar the
day of good Queen Bess. But let us
glance at its ravages from her time
down to the present.
When we look at the pictures of Eliz-
abeth, with her enormous ruff and
vaster f~ardingale," we wonder at a
strong-minded employing her
energies to impose such a senseless,
dangerous mode. But impose it she
did, and the women of the cay had the
upper part of the body fastened in a
stiff case of whalebone, which was met
at the waist with the fardiIgale of the
same material, this extending clear to
the feet. Mayhap the Maiden Queen
adopted the device to keep admirers
and w%ould-be spouse at good arms
length.
In the reign of James l.. who sue
ceeded Elizabeth, you remember, the
fashion waned; and then when the Pu-
ritans were at the helm it vanished ut
terly. What a blessed change that par
ticular bit of Puritanlsm must have
been.
1t came to life again in I'LL and was
referred to as that startling novelty,
the hoop-skirt"-which, as we know,
was no novelty at all. Yet in a way it
was, for it differed from E~lizabeth's
fardingale in being gathered in at the
waist. hers an affair that uprose above
