New York Special to Baltimore Sun.
The "dirigible gown so named be-
cause 1t is capable of many evolutions,
and at the same time is perfectly safe
and exceptionally modest, is ready to
make Its debut in Fifth avenue to sup
plant the startling pantaloon creation of
last season, and to become the subject
of hours of discussion over the tea
tables.
Stylish as walking gown in city or
town, the dirigble, simply by unbutton-
ing here and fastening there, may be
changed to a garment of comfort and
ease. especially adapted for the golf
links, horseback riding or canoeing.
The new creation comes from cos
American birthplace of the censored d.
rectoire and of the pantaloon 1t is made
of broadcloth, the upper portion of the
garment cut in modest fashion, with
three-quarter collar and the skirt on
lines which allow, when used as a walk
ing gown, for a neatly fitting front and
back. The bottom of the skirt hangs
halfway between the ankle and the
instep.
1t is not very difficult from any
walking gown, except that the front of
the skirt is divided. one portion over
laping the other and each held in po-
sition by stoutly sewed buttons.
For the golf links, the polo field. the
balloon or the aeroplane the dirigible
skirt is quickly transformed, almost be-
fore the invitation is ended. The skirt
is unbuttoned down the front. and the
divided sides are taken in on an angle,
much like reefing a sail. thus relieving
the weight from the bottom of the skirt
and allowing freedom for running or

Hardness at Theatres

Southern theatrical managers are
certainly behind those of the north
in the provisions for the comfort of
their patrons" said a man recently
returned from the north. TN the large
northern theatres people are not al
lowed to take tn cir seats until the close
of the first act when they come IN
late. This is a matter in which Bir-
ningham audiences are particularly
lacking. The entire first acts are fire.
quently spoiled here by the hardness
of some thoughtless people.
Another novel idea that / noticed
was to have jokes printed on the mar
gin of the programmes. They are usual
ly local hits and large tn eatres have
regular man to look after this de-
partment."

TO BE SURE.

To BE SURE.
Maybe we'll know tomorrow
The reason for every sorrow;
Why things come to pass that we can't
understand
And trouble lays on us pitiless hand:
Why the sunlight of morning is blind
ed by tears
And never a star CLEANS when dark
ness appears.
Maybe We'll know
And maybe we won't,
The cause of our woe,
But cen If we don't,
We'll weather it better by living in
hope
And telling ourselves that we never
will NOPE!

And there's the end of that.
We con lot of dog cared books
With sweshearts have spat:
Ere long we're off for college life,
And there's the end of that.
A few tort years and in the world
We're standing at the bat,

And there's the end of that.

Our purses lean or fat,
We quit this mortal scene for good,
And there's the end of thatL

Michigan governor in a great many
years. 1t will be stronger than Gov.
Pingree's because 1t will go deeper
into the issues which it raises"
Mr.. Knox expressed no surprise
that Mr.. Osborn spoke in favor. of
government ownership of railroads
before gathering of railroad presi-
dents in New York.
"It's just like him." he laughed.
"You will remember that Mr.. Os-
born advocated government owner
ship of railroads in report which
he wrote as railroad commissioner
II years ago."
Silent on Appointments
Mr.. Knox refused to discuss the
appointments of the governor-elect.
He was in close conference with To-
cal politicians and men from out in
the state until he left town at 8
o'clock Tuesday night, however, and
several matters were taken up, it is
reported
The statements of Mr.. Knox COM
firm the opinion arrived at by local
politicians from talk with the gov
ernor-elect himself that Mr.. Osborn
Is preparing to wake the state up
in great shape during his two years
at Lansing. The speculation the last
two days has simmered down to the
mere question of how far he will go
on the road of drastic reform adv
cacy in the message which he will
send to the legislature in January.
The statement of the state chair
man that he is preparing to depend
OH the people entirely for support,
cutting out the pap counter from
consideration as a means to the end
he hopes to accomplish, convinces
them that he will cut pretty much
away from old political lines and go
a long way in the changes he will
father.
Mr.. Osborn himself will return to
the 500 via Montreal, avoiding De-
troit, and give over his time, until
the regents meeting on Dec. 81, to
completing the work he has to do
to entering upon his
term, Mr.. Knox stated. It is likely
that when he comes southwark to
Ann Arbor the message will be all
completed.
