OH GEE, THE HOBBLE SKIRT
LATEST HORROR IS ARRIVED

The latest and craziest of the follies
of 1910, the hobple skirt, has appeared
in the cities of the Calumet region
few Of the most conscietious deyctees
OF fashion have ALREADY worn it IN the
shops. on the streets AMI at some or
the recent after noon functions The
other women have stopped - look

one of their own.
This newest freak in women's dress
is the diabolic invention of the men
dressmakers of Paris, imposed upon
that diminishing class of confiding wo-
men, who regard each new decree as
a message straight from the worthy
dame who is supposed to consider only
the renewing and enhancement of
| their charms.
The new skirt is hobble skirt,
probably because 1t makes its wearer

into a deep band below the knees.

A THIMBLE PARTY.

A very enjoyable meeting of the
members of the Embroidery Club oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon and Mrs.
Fred C. Crumpacker was hostess at her
home. 4S Mason street. 1t was the
regular weekly club meeting and sew
eral of the members were present. Mrs.
Crumpacker had as her only invited
guest for the afternoon, Mrs. Charles
G. Holman. The afternoon was spent
in the usual way of the club with en-
broidery work, music and conversation
until four thirty o'clock when the
guests were served with a daintily ar
ranged course, luncheon. Another
party will be given Monday afternoon
of next week but the announcement of
the place was not made yesterday.

but, of course, she is at the very gid
dy height of fashion and goes along
serenely."
The guests at an afternoon function
the other day rushed home just dy-
ing to tell of the new gown one of
those present had worn. DO you know,
it was gathered into band about the
knees and was. that narrow that
well she had TO lift it up when she
sat down. said some one.
Another young woman told of skirt
she had seen here in the city that
was "hobbled" in at the hem. Very
fetcing, she called it, and the wearer
got about easily enough in a leisurely
fashion, but 1 should hate TO yell
fire at her. she concluded.

| Now you are going to laugh, but l

style right up to the minute" With
that she laboriously let herself down

skirt. Then they watched her make

one woman, and 1 just stopped and
looked. I don't think there was more
than eight inches difference between
the circumference of the wearers
waist and the circumference of her
skirt about the ankles. She had the
new hobble walk and looked like 8
comic valentine"
Many laughable tales are told by the
observers of the dflemnas in which
the wearers find thmselves because o.
the snug fit of their gowns about the
ankles. One girl tells of the ludic-
rous efforts of a hobble slSirted young
woman to climb a set of steps. Aftei
, repeated failures, she lifted her gowI
to a height sufficient to give her some
, freedom and mounted the stairs in tri

BLACK MOST FASHION
ABLE FOR CHILDREN.

Very small girls have been o
wearing plnin black hats for 9
some time, but only the initiated
know of these hats are the Z
smartest kind of headgear for
little girls that New York has
sent out in many n day. Z
They are the simplest shape
and trimming, and are regarded
as n most lovely setting for the Z
fine coloring OF youth. For fall
and winter, black velvet will be
among the choicest showings of
the shops.
But the fancy or black for 4
children docs not end with hats. 4
Little frOci<s of almost any color 4
are to show a contrasting touch 4
of black, just as mothers gowns
with do; and as for coats, moth
) ing VIII be quite SO stylish for
even tiny girls those of black
satin or velvet lined with white
) satin, or of white cloth trimmed 4
with black fur.

American Banks are
Needed So. America

Washington, ID. 6, Dec. 2S.-The
crying need Of American interests in
South America is the establishment Of
American banks, according to Prof.
Paul S. Roinsch, of the University Of
Wisconsin,. who recently returned from
the Pan-American conference at
Buenos Ayres, Argentine.
we have the business, said Prof.
Roinsch, 1and now we need banks to
accommodate American firms doing
business in South America. The
banking methods prevailing in South
American cities are extremely slow
and antiquated They would quickly
be forced aside should an American
bank enter into competition with them.
AT present the only method of ex-
change is through London or other Eu-
ropean financial centers, a most round
about and inconyenient system for
American shippers. The banking bust
ness in South America is practically
entirely in the hands Of foreigners. In
Buenos Ayres, for example, outside OF
the National bank Of Argentine, ali the
other banks are owned by Europeans.
There are several British banks, an
Italian bank, German banks, French
banks. and so on"
Prof. ,Roinsch's views are shared
BY Secretary Of the Treasury Mac
Yeah, who in his annual report sub
mitted 10 congress. urges legislation
which will permit national banks in
the United States to establish
branches in foreign lands. This attI-
iure is indorsed BY officials Of the
state department

by the average man. The yiaducS will
work wonders in bringing this prop

Among the contemplated improve
ments in the addition are water mains
and sanitary sewers which will be put
in as soon as possible and no doubt
othelt evidence Of progress will follow
in RAPID snccnssion.
The fact that the property is so
very close in will appeal to the in
yestor for the recent depression has
caused many to learn the true value
of property well located. Now that
all doubt about the viaduct has van-
ished and construction is to begin at
once, the rush will soon be on for
choice locations. There is probably
not another addition ia the entire
