Latest Decree of Fashion ImpeIS
Los Angeles Women to

What fashion DEGREES for women,
they must do, or pay the penalty. With
the adoption of narrow skirts the edict
went forth, mo more long, manly
strides. Walk with iadylike, mincing
steps" But some women found it ac-
corded ill with their desires and con-
tinued Indifferent to this order.
When local and visiting club women
began their crusade for lower car
steps rumor ran that the hobble skirt
was responsible for the movement.
Could it e'possible that it is not, after

ter, which caused the agitation. For
several months the flounce of
my lady's petticoat has been confined
closely about her ankles with an elas-
tic belt, but evidently it was not
enough to hold her bound at the ankles.
She must have her stride regulated,
her gait measured by the hobble garter
at the knee, also
The hobble garter is verify hobble,
as much as that which the jockey puts
on the legs of his horse when teaching
it a new gait. This garter is so de-
signed that the wearer is obliged to
take short steps. In this contrivance
her gown will hang straight and all
unnecessary strain will be avoided.
That is, all strain on the skirt. The
wearer may break her neck in mount
ing some high curb, or fall under the
wheels of a street car in endeavoring
to cross the street where congestion of
traffic threatens the pedestrian, but
she will at least die in the fashion.

BISHOP DECLARES CHURCH
COMPETITION IS TOO HOT
PreIate Thinks Religious Work Is
Hindered by Rivalry

"When it comes to sixteen different
Presbyterian and seventeen different
Methodist churches in the foreign field,
the foreigner thinks he has a right to
invent a church of his own as good as
any of the Others" said w. F. Oldham,
bishop of India, yesterday noon at the
Federation club.
"When the American flag was raised
in the Philippines" continued the
bishop, "the good and bad elements
rushed in, some with their Bibles and
others with the liquid product of Mil
waukee. But there is a mehod quite
strictly adhered to by the establishing
of zones by the different denomina-
tions for the purpose of not encroach-
ing on the territory of each other
1.-THE missionary spirit is making
great progress in this and other lands.
But the splitting up of the denomina-
tions and the watching of each other,
create a hindrance in religious work,
although it is conceded that certain
amount of competition is good for re-
ligious as we'll as other work"
