The following. from the cbioaoo
Record-Herald, shows what Chica 20
men can look for in the way of trouble
anu Cnlcago men are not the only
ones. we have heard the story of an
Sliline1t divine Of our own town who,
with his wife, was away visiting
friends. They were invited out to dim
ner, and miladys dress was the kind
mat hooked down the back There was
no one available to make connections in
mat bodice but the Reverend and he
pravely and cheerfully undertook the
task He had made no progress at all
pefore his cheerfulness deserted him.
he is not known as a patient man IN
DER any circumstances, and in this in
stance, unless his wife exaggerated the
1acts, he missed breaking the%third COM
Inandment by only a very small mar
gin. Now 1T seems that the art IF
fastening womeR's dresses is to be
taught to husbands as a trade.
Yesterday it was the school for en-
Dryo chauffeurs, last night the acad-
envy for instructing amateur aviators
and today it is course in putting on
your wife's latest gown. Hubby can't
get out of buttoning that dress on the
mere plea that it doesn't lie within the
power of the human male.
Manufacturers of various sorts Of
monstrosities with which to cover-or
partly cover-womans graceful form
tons July 80 to August at the
Coliseum, and, having increased the al
ready well nigh impossible number Of
buttons that run up and down the back
Of the female dress, they have con-
ceived the idea of conducting a school
of instruction for men on how. to make
the buttOnholeS and buttons meet and
connect the elusive hooks and eyes.
at is announced that there will be q
number of live models as subjects for
the students in dress buttoning. Prizes
will be awarded each night to the men
who prove most deXterous with their
fngures and most patient with the
model.
IF the men can overcome the natural
embarrassment of the situation they
are expected to master all the tricks of
the lady's maids trade. The model will
wriggle and squirm, look out of the
window at who's passing, touch up her
hair and do various other contortions,
diploma he will be able to saddle a
madly bucking broncho with ease.
"However, in planning to this extent,
the management of the fashion show
has run itself into stump which may
vet prove the undoing of the scheme
or force an entire change in styles. It
was figured that the sale of the
4 Inyriad-buttoned gown would be as
sured IL husbands were instructed in
how to put the things on-that is, on
their wives.
But now a new problem has con-
fronted the managers. How about the
old maids and the still eligible unmar-
ried women? Will the manufacturers
have to furnish a husband with every
dress? Or will a book of instructions
for the janitor or the grocer's delivery
man do?
while this thought was puckering
their broWs. another problem suddenly
confronted them-a problem even more
fornidable perhaps than the first. 1t
Twas not to be questioned that the hus-
fands-and the contest is to be for
married men only-would enter the
classes with much pleasure and ex-
.nacfancv but what would Mrs. Pupil
