THE hobble skirt, or what looked
like hobble skirt, the other day
invaded the precincts of the United
States Supreme court, where flowing
robes are worn by the justices and
where the lawyers who appear to ar.
que cases generally wear the somber
black of the bar.
OF course, hobble skirt wearers
have hobbled behind the railing where
the public is admitted. because among
the visitors to the courtroom are
women dressed i the latest styles.
But not until the day mentioned
woman barrlster. entitled to practise
before the highest court in the land,
appeared in a dress which suggested
the latest fad.

LOOKING After the Eoos.

Lady Betty. who is four years old
and never misses a trick, was taken
the other evening to restaurant for
her supper, and with all the Importance
and sprightly dignity of her years
calmly ordered poached eggs on toast.
While the little family group was
awaiting its service the "kiddie"
amused herself by looking out of the
window, pressing against a screen to
get closer view of something below.
She was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fall to the sidewalk. perhaps injuring
her terribly. She drew away, thought
a minute, and then said naively:
Would fall If the screen went out7"
You certainly would" was her moth
srs reply. "And would I get awful
hurted" VERY likely" Then what
would the man do with the eggs7"

A Touch Of Family Life.

When the country youth proposed
to the city girl. he received the con-
ventional assurance that she would be
his sister. It happened that this youth
had sisters at home and knew exactly
his privileges. So he kissed her. At
this 1uncture she availed herself Of
the sisterly right to call out to father
that brother was teasing her. Father
responded in good, muscular earnest,

in Cholera Precautions

The bureau has prepared a blank for
the use of the inspectors whereby q
simple system of checking and the
writing. in of the name OF the i'm
migrant and the town, street and num-
Der to which he is going will make
a complete record of his origin and
destination.
At the close of the day these "des-
tination cards" will be collected by
the chief medical officer and imme-
diately mailed to state boards of
health.
The state health official in return
will be requested to mail the cards to
the local boards of health. The the
ory is that should a case of cholera
break out the local officials would i'm
mediately be able to identify it and
take prompt measures, should the rec
ords show that the place harbored
persons coming from a cholera in.
tested district.
The treasury department and the
department Of commerce and labor
have formally approved Doctor Wy
mans plan. hence it goes into opera
ton with all the force o. the govern
ment behind 1t as far as United
States officials are concerned.
1t should be said that the bureau
has no fear of a cholera epidemic In
this country. The medical examina-
tions Of immigrants are very thor
ough and in devising this additional
system Doctor Wyman merely covers
factor in the situation namely, the
chance cholera bacillus carriers to
whom no systematic attention has
been given before. Z.

For pleasure she has her church

Why?
Because she must earn all these
things. She must pay part of the rent
of the tidy little apartment. She must
pay her own dressmaking and milli-
merry bills from her wages. Often she
must pay for her own theatre tickets
and concert admissions.

Under our federal as well as pro-
posed constitution, citizens are guar
anteed the right of freedom of
speech and of the press. We hold.
therefore, that it is our inalienable
right to give our views to the pub
lie, stating our sincere objections to
the constitution. If q majority are
satisfied with the constitution and
willing to shoulder the heavy finan-
cial burdens which it will impose, it
is for them to say. IL the constitu-
ton is rejected, that ought to be con-
vincing evidence that it was not what
the people wanted. They viii make
it plain to the representatives. what
they do want, and when they know
that, ii they are really true repre-

write such constitution as the peo-
