In America recently. SIS the fact that
women here have fancy for the kimono

would say If they went TO Japan and
found some OF my countrywomen leaving
their morning bath or taking the first
meal of the day in ball dresses or after

Priests and Woman,s Dress.

The North American Review for July
has a highly instructive article by the
late cesare Lombroso. under the taking
title OF Priests and Women's Clothes"
After historical survey Of the prac-
tees among many barbaric tribes in
dress for priests and women. he says:
How can it be that woman, held as
che is below beasts by man In a state
Of barbarity. should, at the same time.
be the object OF so great veneration as
% be chosen as model by the most
ancient peoples. TO wit, by the priests.
It is not difficult to account for this. In
tho first place, priests being conserva-
tive in their usages. adopted for their
dress the reduction OF what In early
times had been but a mere winding
sheet, which kind Of covering women
also converted to use to wrap themselves
up In. This style Of habit was much
moro ancient than that OF men. who. on
the other hand, had adopted what is but
the mere reduction of a military attire
the coat of mail-as Haeckel has wen
demonstrated. In the second place. when
the leymen adopted reduced military
attire, just for respectabIlity's sake. the
priests did not follow suit, but exter-
nally assimilated himself to woman by
adopting her garments, wells, ornaments.
and style Of trimming the hair for no
other object but that he might thus more
easily take advantage Of her greater Ia
bility to hysteria. hence her susceptibility
to spiritual influence"

rax water is boiled two or three times
a week are purified and entirely free

When anything has burned In the dou-
bic boiler, instead of replenishing the

water for the same effect.
To remove the odor OF fish or onions
from pans, wash In good suds. then place

go lin an efforts TO hold up car. They
are Sths childre who catch onto the run

Occasionally one OF them IS killed or
seriously hurt. and the blame is wrong

New York women have set for them
selves the task OF making the big hat
continue IN fashion.
1T may be that the Countess castIg-
lione did create the rimless hat and that
it was found becoming to the bellies OF

for the big trimmed hat. and we do not

unbeeoming 10 US
In the Second Empire ladies did not
have to battle with electric lights They
used candles and mediocre gas and lamps.
The lights were dim and becoming be-
cause they did not reveal too much; but
We in this century must face electricity.
and only the woman who has had her
imperfections shown up by electric lights
can fully explain to you the dlsadvan-
tage of the change.
You cannot see your own wrinkles,
but you can feel them. You cannot be-
hold your own tired looking eyes, but
you can sense them. You cannot notice
how much older you are growing. but
somebody else can notice for you; and
the effect upon your nervous system Is

The big hat preserves a woman's

are willing to be accused OF monotony
