Ancients Wore Sheath Gowns.

1t need not be supposed that even
feminine fashions can evolve some
thing new under the sun. A learned
Psychologist discloses that the sheath
gown was popular among the ladies Of
the Nile Is centuries before the Chris
tian Era. One gown was made of fine
linen, adorned with elaborate designs.
The professor thinks that the slit in
the side was intended to display the
wearer's precious anklets. These an
cient ladies also dressed their hair
deliberately with puffs and padding.
They painted their faces and lips, as
shown by rouge and pomade jars. All
of this is reassuring to man who may
have thought that some of the modern
developments of the dressmaker were
without precedent in their eccen-
tricity. Once more is demonstrated
the fit coupling on the words "eter-
nal" and feminine"
