PRINTING TRADE BOOM

The officers of the United TypOthe-
tae of America reported last week that
after a long spell of stagnation the
printing trade has begun to boom
again, not only in New York but all
over the country. This is regarded
as an indication that business gener-
ally has taken a turn for the better.
The following official statement was
made on behalf of the Typothetae:
There has been a complete change
in the situation within the last week
in the book and job printing trade,
which felt the business stagnatiOn al
most from the time it started. There
are more inquiries at our labor bu-
reau for men than at any time in the
last six months, and more men are
now employed in this city than at any
other time in that period.
1--WE have received inquiries for
new men in all the departments from
Chicago, Boston, Kansas City, Knox
vile, Tenn; Washington, Glen Falls,
n. Y; Rutland, VT; Richmond, Va. /;
San Antonio, Tex, and Saginaw and
Bay City, Mich, and we have been
notified by our branches in other cit
les that trade is improving. Our
agents at the various centers of trade
have notified US that there is a gener-
al revival of industry, especially in
the shop trades, and that manufacture
ers are becoming busy and are begin
ming to advertise freely again. All
the reports show an optimistic spirit
and belief that good times are at our
doors"

IN DEFENSE OF
THE SHEATH GOWN
Worans Apparel Generally the Subject of RidicuIs and
Harsh Criticism of the Newspapers.

Personally, l have seen nothing,
either in real life or in the fashion
plates, which has prejudiced me
against this newest and EXTREMIST
fashion l don't think it will be quite
so bad as my correspondent antici-
pates. The examples of it which
have already made their appearance
have not been immodest and have
been artistic. Modesty cannot be
measured by the number of petit
coats one wears. | have seen very
starched and befrilled persons whom
l considered far from admirable.
The sheath gown has graceful folds
which fall Imply to the feet, princi-
pally because they are weighted to do
so. They are long and graceful and
sufficiently shielding.
There are those who were grown
ups during the COS who say that hoop
skirts were as immodest as any gar
ment woman has ever worn, yet these
hideOus things were introduced to en-
phasie the extreme propriety of the
women of an age when humorists de-
clare that pantelettes were put upon
pianos and the word leg was as ia
boo if the thing itself did not exist.
Before this the directoire frock had
become popular in France, and so it
seems that we have cycles in styles,
and that each new one is greeted
with wild cries that the world is be-
coming so evil that the worst may at
last be expected.
For myself, | have an abiding faith
in the common sense, yet, and the
modesty of my sex. Womankind al
ways is going to the dogs, according
to the mOralist. Luckily it never does
so. but rises from the ashes of its in
discretiOns in plenty of time to train
its children to be decent men and
women of the next generation.
I can remember the furore that re-
suited at the first appearance of the
rainy-day skirt. Up to this time wO-
man had gone about in wet weather
wearing long gowns, which they held
away from the sloppy streets as best
they might, one breadth dragging in
the mud, another lifted indecently
high.
Then some woman with common
sense-and her name should have
been handed down to posterity, but it
wasn't-decided that she was not go
ing to be a slave to ridiculous fashion
any longer, and she wore, on bad
days, an abbreviated skirt; not so

Luckily, these pioneers had the
courage of their convictions, and SO
they went steadfastly on their way,
not turning a hair at the criticism.
Some of Us can remember even yet,
however, our concern when we went
down town in a storm in the morning
in our short skirts and came home
with sun shining brilliantly in the af-
ternOOn, and the eyes of the pOpulace
glued to our usually retiring ankles,
for the Tainy-day skirt was consider
ed solely immodest and a thing at
which to stare. Now it is deemed the
only hygienic and proper garment for
women TO wear on the street in wet
weather and in dry, so quickly may a
garment which commenced life in
very bad odor come to be blessed of
wOmankind.
am not at all sure that the sheath
skirt will have exactly this sort Of a
career. 1t may not end by being
blessed, but it certainly has cOmmenc-
ed its present incarnation under much
abuse. | am for the ar
tistic in dress when it does not offend
the conventions, and | think my cor
respondent will live to admire the
slinky skirt, and to see nothing i'm
modest about it's clinging lines.
do not believe the directoire skirt
will ever be worn on the street, ex-
cept perhaps by few persons for
purposes. 1t is much too
theatrical for this wOrkaday world.
and the sensation concerning it, start
ed by French milliners will probably
soon die out. But the sheath skirt
for afternoon and evening wear has
much to recommend it and little
against it, for l hope | will not be con-
sidered very shocking if l say that
l have long believed women burden
ed themselves with too many petit
coats, too many garments, which, sus-
pended from the waist, are a drag to
their wearers and a snare to their
feet.-Leonore Calvert, in Baltimore
