"The smallest man l ever saw" de-
clared commercial traveller in a local
hotel the other day, "was a man whom
l saved from drowning at Atlantic City
one day last summer. 1t happened
that this fellow while tipsy accidentally
fell off the end of the pier in deep
water. Not being able to swim he be-
gan to emit lusty yells for help as he
foundered about. I CHANGED to be
strolling in the vicinity at the time,
so rushing to the spot, I plunged in,
clothes and all, to the rescue.
"Being an unusually strong and eff
ficient swimmer, l soon had my man

to safety. While I stood there, my $40
suit dripping icy water, the saved one
began to blurt out his thanks. The
next moment, however, he began to
tumble in his vest pocket.

piciously, as the curious crowd closed
round us, did you take that nickel I

woman's servility to Fashion.

Woman's Servility to Fashion.
There is nothing more abject in the
social state than the servility of women
to the dictates Of fashion, declares a
New York writer. Nothing more in
artistic or barren of all harmony or
beauty could be devised than the
feminine figure which prevails at pres
ent just because it is fashionable" OF
course, in this respect fat even mildly
plump, women are left out of the reck-
oning, though they are struggling as
best they can to compress themselves
into the shape of an Egyptian mummy.
To be in line with fashion now every
woman must find her greatest width
at the shoulders. From that point she
must taper to her heels, and she
must be prepared to knock her knees
ion that is preposterous in every way,
and 1t Is not to the credit of the great
army Of women that it's Introduction
was brought about by three dressmak-
ers' models.
The style was seen first when three
models went to Paris race track in
sheath gowns, and for their pains were
escorted off the course by the police.
For few weeks the women of Paris
asserted they would not submit to the
sheath gown or any modification of it !;
yet the clinging effect of the sheath
forms the chief note in the present
styles. Worth and other alleged lead
ing dressmakers Of Paris cried out
against anything approaching the
sheath model, but all have been forced
to surrender.
OF course, the true sheath, with it's
slit side, has not been worn. The ia
pering effect of the sheath is the thing
Women, tall and small, have fallen
victims Of the craze. The natural lines
OF the human form must disappear
under the lacing and the kneading of
this Ubiquitous fashion. The woman
who cannot compress her hips into
smaller space than her shoulders will
be looked upon as hopeless from the
point of view Of fashion, and this i'm
poses torture upon the great majority.
What is to come out of it all? Petit
coats are to be discarded, so that the
mummy effect may not be destroyed.
To move easily in the new skirts is an
impossibility, and the knock-kneed
woman will find herself at an advan-
tage over her STRAIGHTFORWARD sister,
The ways Of fashion surely are as
strange and mysterious as woman her.

HON eIess Girls,

There are said to be no fewer than
$4,000 working girls in Berlin who have
no homes. no rooms even that they can
call their own, but sleep in the Schlaf-
sterlen. and in the daytime have no
place at all to which to go. The city
contributes $500 a year toward three
homes where the girls may go when
they are sick. Anna Plothow has sug-
gested that the factory owners would
benefit themselves by making good
homes for the girls.

Embroidered dots of various sizes are

Royal blue, golden brown, mulberry

high-class costumes
Many of the prettiest hats are almost

effect Is becoming to almost every wo-

A narrow band of gold or silver rib

Shoes present one aspect coming and

With elaborate afternoon and evening
gowns sleeves that are strapped with
the material of the gown over lace are
good deal used.
Slip a bit of gold lace under your
net chemisette. This CLINT of gold
through the transparency is one Of the
important touches.
The dressmakers have decided that
about the best width for the modern
clinging skirt is two yards or a few
inches over. Street skirts cut above the
ankles, made of rough fabrics, are not
always this wide, but the two yards in
unstiffened satin or tulle give enough
stiffness at footline.

American women are clean enough as
far as their homes are concerned, but
they often very grudgingly give any
work to the municipality. In Germany
there is nightly washing of the cities

housewife considers the pavement in

her own and scrubs it until it is clean
enough to eat from.
