CoRsETS IN ANCIENT GREECE
"A Playwright Says Cycling Skirts
Were Also Common There.

The discovery has been made In
Paris recently, that the Greeks 1000
years ago wore cOrsets and other ar
ticles of modern feminine dress, &C
cordng to the Paris correspondent OF
the New York Times. Nine. Paquin
and Jules Bots disclosed the fact IN
the latter's play, la Furie," at the
Coincide Franchise, for which the IA
nous dressmaker designed the cos
tunes after consulting some of the
Oldest records. Jules Bots said TO me:
; There is really nothing new under
the sun. The ordinary conception OF
Greek dress refers only to certain pc.
RODS. | know what l am taking
about.
: 81 have studied the works of Schlie'
mann on Mycenae and OF Evans and
De Mosso on the prehistoric epochs
| have made excavations at Knossos
and in Crete. have visited museums
don't imagine the things write
about The Grecians OF the most an
cient periods had modern figures. This
is the point insist upon. Look at
the statues of the women, ancient
Greek vases and sculptures and you
will see ribbons, crinoline. head
dresses, basques and corsets. The
cycling skirt was the usual mode at
the court of Agamemmon.
To prove his points NJ. Bots had pho
tographs of old sculptures and vases.
These are extraordinarily like the
modes of 1880. From these Nine. Pa
quin made the costumes for the play.
OF course. this upsets popular ideas
about Greek dress. and probably mu'
steal play showing Ulysses In pajamas
and Dido in Il kimono' will be pro.
duced on the boulevard as a result.

We have nicknames for the vintages

drinkers know. Thus the vintage OF
the present year we call Zeppelin, in

bestowed on vintages as far back as
1929, when the bad-watered wine was

The sour wine of 1850 was called
Garibaldi, and in memory Of the Chi

DEALINGS SHRANK

New York, May 21.-Dealings in
stocks today shrank TO a small pro
portion of the recent daily average
The action of the market proved puz-
cling 10 the professional trade ele'
ment. The subsistence OF demand on
the advance in prices is construed us
ually as unfavorable to the stability
of the rise. Professional operators
acting on this principle, sold stocks
when the market turned dull and tried
to force reaction Prices did not re-
spond, but showed resistance without
any increas in animation. The persis,
tent rise in United States Steel was
the mainstay of the advance. The sen
timental effect of further advance in
that stock to above 80 was sufficient
10 sominate the whole list Traders
We're inundated from pursuing their
attack on values. Late in the after
noon the dealings sank to a state of
stagnati0n.

ed stay in conditions bearing on val

the dais to Fritz Henry.
Let us get away from this bowling mob, "
he growled, addressing Henry and Grumkow.
He started to leave the room, indicating that
Henry should follow. Many of the guests
crowded about the King eager to learn the par
ticulars of what had happened; but he cursed
them and drove them off with his cane.
When the King. Grumkow. and Henry
reached private room. his Ma jesty turned to
Henry, saying, Now tell me about It, and
don't lie, as you value your lfe!'
Henry drew away from the King bent low
before him. and answered IF your Majesty
fears that shall lie to you, advise you to find
some one else to tell you of the unfortunate
affair, and beg that may have your permis-
sion to withdraw
He isn't afraid of the devil" mumbled the
King. Il did not say that you would lie
said YOU must not lie. Go on, in Gods name,
and tell me the TRUTH whatever it may be! Go
on. and do not fear to speak the truth
Henry then told the King the full partiCu-
lars of all that had happened in the Dukes
room, and referred him to the Dukes friends
for confirmation of the story.
".4eh, well, I'm glad he's deadp' sighed the
King :" have always hated him. He was an
infdel and I'm glad he's out of my way"
With that remark he left the room, and
Frederick William was never again heard to
speak the name Of the Duke of Weissenfels.
