hCDble gown is not inspiring. But one
may turn his eyes away. The hobble
skirt does not obstruct ones view like
the big hat. 1t is not dangerous like
the huge pins in the big hat In free
and enlightened countries the women
who want to hobble may wear the skirt
that makes them hobble without stir
ing common folk to wrath.
The Paris cable dispatches to the
SUNDAY Times indicated that the fate
of the new skirt is in the balance. All
the artists do not condemn it. One
famous French dressmaker is endeav-
oring TO lead return of fashion to
swishine skirts and frOufrou and that
sort of thing. But the war against the
narrow garment has lent to it fresh
nctoriety. and presumably the women
who wear it crave notoriety above
anything else. 1t is understood that
the matter was settled yesterday at the
Grand PriX. Some days must elapSe,
however before the returns are all IN.
If the hobhle skirt prevailed at the
Grand Prix it will be the fashion all
summer But let us not worry. There
are faint Indications that the big hats
are going out and the hair puffs. too.
We may have something to be thank
full for.-New York Times.

WHO WILL BE LEADER OF

The Good Government organization of
Los Angeles will hold it's annual meet
ing and election of officers at Assembly

night at o'clock.
Officers of the club say the organiza-
ton is in excellent shape, and better
ramifed than ever in it's history,
while outside of the city it is meeting
with gratifying success.
The organization, besides electing
new officers, will adopt constitution.
Many of the leading citizens, who are
known to be interested in the good gov
crnment cause have been invited to be
present and participate.
There is much speculation as to who
the new president will be, but none of
the good government members who
could be seen yesterday would venture
prediction, although several prom-
