A great French designer has sent
o:er a new coat. 1t is being rapidly
copied by the tailors here. The idea
will soon be popular.
This coat has pocket in each sleeve.
The model came out in a rough brown
checked coat for travelling. but the idea
involved can be copied in any kind of
coat
The sleeve is small and just below
the elbow is a deep V-shaped pocket,
with a pointed flap fastened with a
brown leather button.
Into this can go the purse, the
handkerchief, car tickets and all man
ner of tiny things that a woman wishes
to stow away.
The idea is an excellent one for
travelling coats, as woman has every
thing where she can get at it in the
quickest time.
Think of the comfort of these pock-
cts on rainy day, when a woman
must hold an umbrella, catch up her
skirt and hold to a strap on trolley
cars. She has need of her hands in 4
pocketbook or handbag is a nuisance.
Now she can carry everything in her
coat sleeves. She feels perfectly Sc
cure in carrying even money there,
because the flap fastens over and
looks too much like piece of trim
ming to invite thieving
Pockets Everywhere.
1t is interesting that the wide popu-
larity of pockets has not called forth
more talk than it has. Woman and her
pockets and the way she carries her
purse have been a jest among men.
Handbags have always been the
lure of thieves. They were easy to
snatch and run.
True. there were the purses carried
in the hand part of the time-and left
on counter or seat or table the rest of
the time for anyone to lift.
The last two years, however, have
done much for pockets. They have
been put in skirts, in shirtwaists and
In coats. The woman who keeps up
with the styles very often has from
four to six pockets about her, all of
which she uses for various things.
If anyone took statistics of so un-
important thing, it is probable that
the number of women who go around
with their hands full of tritles have
decreased by half
Handbags Carried by Many.
The majority of them do carry a
handbag, but the convenience and the
comfort of putting your things in
pockets are being understood by even
the women who catches on last
woman travelling for short dis
tances, such as going to another city
for the day. has her hands entirely
free. Flat purses and all such things
are slowed away in her coat pockets.
The absurd oldfashioned pocket put
in the placket of woman's skirt is
obsolete. We have learned too much
to &C back to anything so inconveni-
ent. 1t ruined the woman's figure,
kept her from sitting comfortably and
could never be found when wanted.
Now she puts two pockets on the
front of her skirt, smartly cut, heavily
stitched and buttoned up with flap.
She can run her hands in them as
easily as man slips his fingers in his
vest pocket.
The new duck and linen skirts,
worn without coats, have two of these
patched pockets on each side, above
the knees, fastened over with carved
pearl buttons.

A Soaring Playwright

WHEN Hops scheme aimed at the gener-
w alizingly vague purpose of freeing art
from commercialism," he was not embarrassed
for means thereto. With group of bounte-
ousy willing incompetents for actors and about
ten dollars worth of props, he scorned the SIM
pier in lbsen and the like. and scared. He at
tempted the difficult League of You'll" in a
large theater with small audience; and I'M
dertook to present the almost impossible " Peer
Gynt in small theater. with a smaller audi
ence Then he tried the shocking Salome"
of Oscar Wilde, and there wasn't even police
interference. In these difficulties, the ener-
getic' Hopp explained-when he collected
enough money to print his explanation that
he felt that his plan had been too broad and
too indefinite. An inspiration came to him
he would dedicate his venture to the promot-
ing of Socialism through the theater that
had splendid sound. And he founded a new
society. All seemed flourishng. Several per-
sons joined the new organizations; enough in
deed, to create a fund which, after paying
printing BILL amounted to two dollars and
fifty cents 1t was clear that the time for a
production had arrived.
But a new difficulty confronted Hopp
There having been, till then no stage for the
dramatic diffusion of the socialist spirit there
were naturally no plays of the necessary sort

ENCOURAGED by this, another questioner.
- as laughterless of nature as Hopp himself,

hoped that the American public would ever
come to take an interest in anything but cir
cuses and vaudeville. This scathing and en-

THREE dear little old ladies turned from
the winter sunshine into an obscure. dark
playhouse on side street 1t was the Sab
bath, and at an earlier period in their simple
lives even as lately as five years ago. they would
have been making their demure way to after
noon worship But this is the age of socialism,
when great causes must be promoted and even
our grandmothers feel impeled to right some
mighty wrong. So they gathered in the little
New York theater, with about sixty other men
and women and twenty or twenty-five children,
assembled to better the condition of the
working man" This was to be accomplished
by observing play, presented by the Socialist
Stage Society.
The organization, comprizing especially
Julius Hopp and himself, states definitely that
its purpose is Ito promote socialism through
the theater and to free dramatic art from
commercialism." This purpose, Hopp frankly
explains would be proclaimed more often and
in larger type but for the expense of printing
and the paucity of funds. Julius Hopp is a
sincere little man. jumbled enthusiast, whose
sincerity, unrelieved by mirth, is his one
definite trait. l came to know him first three
years ago, when he was, now, feverishly

Suppressed Joys

THE exhilarating joys of association with
movement of this sort are not always i'm
mediately discernible. They require, l should
say, something of the special knowledge of
curator, which multiplies his thrills the deeper
into the subject he goes. At first, finds
himself listed in a catalogue of names that
convey no more idea of individualities than a
page torn from the city directory of an I'M
familiar town. But upon investigation it APP
pears that one is in close association with por
tentous minds. The names of damsels of
Temperament surround ones own like the
garlands chiseled round an epitaph, and poets
all about. Some are poets In their work
but the loftier more are poets only in their
seething souls. Surprise that the name of none
is known to the general reader is quickly and
somewhat crushingly explained by the infor
nation that they refuse to write down to the
popular level Thep too, names that APP
peared to be but letters swept together, emerge
those of Leaders of men" Just who they
lead and where they lead them is never made
quite evident. But predominant on these
lists are the names of stout matronS, smooth
and placid on the surface but seething within
to assert the rights of the soul" The outward
manifestations of this internal revolt are
general disregard for their more necessary
household duties, Candida-like patroniz-
ing of their hard working tired husbands, and
a rejection of those patient providers names
on lists and propaganda, the Mrs. John James
Jones of earlier days listing herself as Mrs.
Hannah G. Jones instead.

The Sunday performance of The Friends of

mated group near the door to the auditorium
was Hopp. On approaching, found him to be in
more than usual haze, and repeating, with little

rather cold.
In lieu of the performance of The Friends

emphasis, that " life is a bread and butter prob

the more enthusiastic OF her hearers, Hopp

its potentiality for good. Seeing an inclination,
among all but the more somber browed to quit
his meeting for the sunshine, he suggested that
questions be asked OF him. People rose, here

answered readily if not quite fluently. A

Hopp did not think that the working man, eX
hausted with six hard days of labor, was not

the betterment of the working man, he would
be required to labor only four hours day,
and, therefore, would be SO little fatgued that
