STORY OF JAPANESE GOWNS
Interesting Facts Concerning the
Origin of Garments Worn In the
Island Empire.

Nearly every woman nowaday
cherishes a Japanese gown for house
wear without realizing how interest
ing garment it Is. The sleeves them
selves have curious history. From
the middle Of the sixteenth century
they began to increase in length, and,
especially those for young ladies, have
extended till now they are from three
to four feet. This style, known as
furisode, became very fashionable.
The width of the obi, or sash, HIS
also varied, at first from two and a
half to three and half inches, and
to six, seven, eight and nine inches
1t is interesting to note that our
own new fashions in sleeves and
sashes originated among the common
people Of Japan, and from them were
finally adopted by the upper classes.
The young ladies Of the Samuri class
were the first to follow the popular
styles in this respect, and the higher
classes began to follow suit, until now
these fashions prevail everywhere.
1t is only from about the middle OF
the seventh century that the women
of the lower classes began to wear
the long haori, or overcoat, at present
so common among all classes of both
sexes. This garment was originally
buster worn by men to protect their
clothes when outdoors, and was then
called dofuku, or travelling coat.
Finally they came to be worn iEA
doors, and the women adopted the
garment. The upper classes in time
followed the same custom, and now
the haori is an indispensable part OF
the clothing to be worn on formal ;
casions, even in summer.

NEWEST IDEAS IN GIRDLES

The newest girdles are made OF

as are also those made OF pierced
metal pieces run with ribbon and Oh
tainable in assorted colors. There
are also those made of colored pyroxy-
lin, ribbon laced. These pyroxyHn
girdles, while extremely light m
weight, have an effect similar to the
heavier metal ones. Another Of this
class Of girdle is the heavy linked
chain or metal rope, made in either
gilt, silver or oxidized.
Due to the great popularity Of cord
girdles, there have been manufactured
special ornamental pins in plain and
chased effects, also set with colored
stones, intended for use as fastening
for the girdles in place of knot, be-
ing both practical and ornamental.
and at the same time eliminating the

Alfred Tennyson Dickens from FAR
away Australia plunges Boston fem
1ninity into gloom by observing that In
respect to ankles the beefy sort
greatly outnumber those graceful APP
pendages that linger so much longer
in mans memory" says the Boston
Globe. This is one of the effects Of
the recent rainy weather, and is not
to be taken too seriously. Besides, so
far as our observation goes, the criti-
cism Is grossly exaggerated, not to
say unfounded. Mr.. Dickens must
have poor vision or perhaps he spent
all his time in the shopping district
where. to be frank. the display OF an
kles is very prosaic. Our women who
are striving to be beautiful of course
will feel downcast over the unartistic
picture that Mr. Dickens frames. Our
ladies' are accustomed to reduce their
weight or increase their avoirdupois,
as the case may be, to become more
Venuslike, but nobody yet has ever ad-
vertised an ankle-reducing emporium,
nor does 1t seem possible that such an
establishment could operate to advan-
tage. Probably this Dickens man.

gest that pound of flesh be taken

woMAN's ABILITY.

The late Premier Stolypin's recog.
milton OF the capacity of women for
public business took very practical
form. which is pleasing to the women
of Russia in general as well as to
the strong-minded Dowager Empress
1t is 'displeasiRg to men who are can
didates for official honor, as 1t makes
women in certain cases their success
full rivals. 1t is true that by an
amendment ordered after the original
PRONUNCIATION of the order only one In
five Of the civil service staff can be
woman; nor can woman rise higher
than the seventh of the twelve ranks
in the service. says the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin. So men will CON
tinue 10 monopolize the coveted title
High Excellency," and the chance
that woman will be cabinet minis
ter is very remote. One noteworthy
feature is that women receive the
same pay as men in positions of equal
rating. Women officials are to receive
full pensions, even II they marry be-
fore leaving the service. and their
children will get the same pensions as
If they had fathers in the service
When both parents serve. they will
get almost double pensions. In all
cases. the women are to have the
same salaries, lodging and travelling
expenses as the men. This latter
feature of the Stolypin system is the
one that is likely to make the deepest
impression on the women school
teachers of the United States.

Another prominent clergyman. Rev.
S. NJ. Neel, NJ d., opined that was

this definition, is one who adapts his
preaching and his teaching and his
general conduct of parish affairs more
to the women-bless them-than to
the men.
DR.. Neel is heartily applauded by
a large number of his pulpit brethren
and the spirit of the times in the
church, as mentioned in such enter
prises as the Men and Religion For
ward Movement" seems to emphasize
what he says-the call and need for
the strong, virile man in the pulpit
who appeals to the man in the pew
and in the street, for making the
gospel a mans appeal, not, of course
depreciating the indispensable value
of the women.
That is all very well, but where,
may we ask is the typically Sissy"
man wanted? What calling or bust
ness needs him? Business and other
professions besides the ministry can
use him no better than can the
