LONDON. Nov. 300 the making OF
strange fashions there is no end. The
hobble skirt seemed to be the limit. but
now the West End is taking up the
anklot as means OF personal adorn-
ment. Very handsome ankcts are now
offered 'i.ie for sale at son1e OF the very
sWagger shops. The anklet idea is the
outcome OF the present fashion OF very
short dresses. high -heeled patent leather
shoes and brilliantIy-colored stockings,
which in Itself Is bad enough without
the addition OF a bangle TO further at
trect attention. The fashion" II goes
without saying comes from Paris. where
1t has been taken up to an extent. but
only by those inclined TO eccentrlcity in
dress. But, after all. the wearing or
anklets would be merely the revival OF
an old fashion. Three generations ago
II was not unusual TO see bangle around
the ankle. and famous wcarer OF this
ornament was the wife Of the third Duke
OF Cleveland. the old duchess who died
In 1888 at the age of 81. She had very
often sit upon table and let her anklet
fall down over her foot. One day q
friend. equally proud Of her small foot,
asked the duchcss-or Lady Caroline
Poulett as she was in her younger days
II she might try and get the anklet over
her foot. Lady Caroline consented, and.
TO her great disgust. her friend was able
not only TO put it on, but 30 kick il
off, so easily did her foot go through it.
Hobble Skirt Not in Favor.
Speaking OF the freak fashion, il is
gratifying to know that the hobble skirt
Is out of the running in English society,
due to the action Of Queen Mary, a short
time ago the queen expressed her dis
favor OF this form of dress in very strong
terms, and II is noteworthy that none OF
the royal ladies. nor those about the
1 ~ f...-
form OF attire. Queen Mary. like Queen
Alexandra. has very definite views as
to what does not suit her. and she ut
terly declines TO follow the whims Of
fashion. For instance, neither queen has
ever been seen in the horrible headgear
that so many women arc adopting at the
present time. and they still remain de-
voted 10 the toque. This lead Is now be-
Ing very generally followed by the real
heads of society.
Among the many good works under
taken by a certain band OF great ladies
| throughout Europe Is one that is known
as The international Exchange OF Chill
dren." This was originally founded some
eight years ago by the oowager duchess
of the FaubourS st. Germain In Paris
/ The society deals chiefly with children
OF the upper classes. and has for its OBJ
ject the promotion not merely OF the ac-
quaintance OF foreign languages. but like
wise the creation OF a better understand
ing among foreign nations. The exchange
provides for three months residences
or a fun year between children in fam
| lilies living as far apart rs Germany,
France. Italy, Austria and England. The
idea OF the system, which works splen-
didly. is that parents bear the cost OF the
journey OF their children, but that from
the moment OF the youngsters arrival
until the hour OF departure the children
are treated absolutely as members of the
family with which they are living. Al
ready several thousand of such cX-
changes have successfully taken place.
and committees or prominent ladies' have
been formed among leaders Of the aris-
Holland Scandinavia. Russia, Holland.
italy and Austria, who undertake The
details connected with the practical
working Of the scheme, which helps TO
promote the mutual understanding be-
tween foreign nations. and does much to
destroy racial prejudices based upon
ignorance. 1t is altogether a very prac-
teal effort 10 contribute TO the maintc
nance of the peace of the world
