The Harem Sklrt---A Defense

NEW YORK, March 21-Now that
most everybody, from preachers to
policemen, has had whack at the
harem skirt, telling us that II is
scandalous without telling why. along
comes a member Of the committee OF
public health of the American wom-
ans medical association and tells us
that the harem skirt is ideal from a
hygienic standpoint.
This defender Of the much maligned
Fl. S. Is DR.. Belle j. Mcdonald, of this
city, who says:
Frankly. | am delighted with this
newest importation, the harem skirt.
From the standpoint OF hygiene, 1t is
capital innovation. In the first
place the trouser-like division gives
perfect freedom of movement But
more important than that, the harem
skirt will not drag going down steps,
as even short, tailor-made skirts are
liable to do.
Thus the wearer will be freed from
the collection of germs, dust and mud
that is bound to gather along the bot
tom of an ordinary skirt. Also on wet
days the ankles will be protected from
the chill caused by damp skirts rub
bling against them. IL all the women
adopt the harem skirt, believe they
will be much healthier.
The consensus of opinion among the
women doctors making up the com
mittee of which DR.. Mcdonald is a
member, which was In session here in
the days just past, is that the outlook
for women's clothes is brighter just
now than it has been for many years

THE ORIGINAL "HAREM"
SKIRT.

A New York man who has made
profound study of the history OF
clothes, says that Harry Furniss
is right when he says that every
thing about the harem skirt is adj
mirable but it's name.
1T is the conventional wide
skirt, not the trouser skirt, that is
scandalous," he adds. 1T Is
matter Of history that eastern po-
tentates were wont to dress their
concubines In skirts thus to dis
tinguish them from virtuous WON
ELI who wore garments much like
the trouser skirt of today, mis-
called the 'harem skirt.
Thus the wide skirt that the
prudes think the symbol of all that
is modest and chaste Is the real,
the original Harem, skirt"
The Detroit times., 1911-03-22

They declare that the tight corset Is
doomed and. that the passing of the
big hat will be blessing. They
haven't word to say against the
harem skirt.
A few bold spirits who dare to back
up the harem skirt here are citing in
its behalf the authority OF Harry
Furniss, the celebrated London illus
traitor, who says that everything about
II is good but its name-which is
scandalous, and not at all In keeping
with its true character.

BRIDEGROOM CAME
 TO GRIEF EARLY

Berne, May 27.-(Special.)-A bridegroom was married in the little town of Berth oud, near Berne, and was arrested imme- diately after the ceremony.
 The bridegroom found his best man had not arrived. As he was required to sign a witness, he asked the registrars to send out a messenger and ask the first man in the street to help him out of his difficulty. This was done, and a middle aged man entered the office.
 The ceremony was performed and the newly married pair and witnesses signed their names, but when the unknown wit ness, who proved to be a detective, saw the name of the bridegroom he promptly arrested him, saying: You are wanted for a long time. Come with me to the station. and don't make any trouble"
 The bride pleaded in vain for the re- lease of her husband and returned home in tears. The honeymoon is indefinitely postponed.

That B. R. Smith, former manager of sales for the Dow Coal company of Dallas, Texas, was to be identified with the Roden Coal company in the same capacity. was the announcement made yesterday.
 The newly appointed official will take up his temporary residence at Marvel, where the mines of the Roden Coal company are located and where B. F. Roden, Jr., has created one of the most modern and efficient coal mining plants in the United States.
 The appointment of Mir. Smith, who is so well versed in western coal bus mess, caused the speculation that bus- ness from that section would be di- verted, perhaps, to Birmingham. How ever, MT Smith said only in emergencies could trade from that section come into the local market
 Birmingham has a wide field for it's coal" said Mir Smith, without go- ing west, although we are glad to have that trade at the proper time. The development of the local natural mar ket will be wonderful accomplish ment for Birmingham when it is real ized."
