 The echoes may still be heard
 We hasten to depart from so painful a subject. Now comes from Boston the news that learned professor in some thriving uni versity has said: Woman is hampered by clothes. It ac- counts for her present lowly position, when compared to the racial advance of man." Continuing, the gentleman says: "Woman wears feathers; she pierces her ears which shows how little she knows about the modern earrings; she wears long hair and paints her face' Now, isn't that just too absurd for words? We'll pass over the feathers, for any woman who has in her possession col lection of ostrich feathers and does not wear them ought to be talked about!
  woman scorns an art so cheap and ob- vious. Exercise and massage and all those wonderful things bring about just the right color needed, and the beauty special ists allow--well, the nose to be pow dered just a wee bit, but the rabbits foot must not touch the cheeks.
 It is not part of our business to en- tighten the delectable gentleman by re- veaing the secrets of my lady's bou- doir,' but 1t does seem to us that the gentleman is prone to wonder, when he begins to talk about our makeup and that we could acquire little more civil ization if we didn't think so much about clothes"
