woman, for this crazy quilt effect in

any conspicuous saving.
Il am also aware that every one Of
my dearest friends who see me will
penetrate my disguise at sight, but I
apprehend that the consciousness Of
virtue in wearing made over frock

Now, as an awful example Of the ex-
travagance Of the modern woman, the
wife had only bought what she needed,
when she needed it. but in the pursuit
Of economy she felt IL her sacred duty
to attend all the marked down sales,

enough things for which she had no
earthly use to stock a store simply be-
cause they were cheap
In her hOuSek eeping she was equally
thrifty. She purchased a handy manual
that told her by the expenditure Of two
/ dollars worth of expensive sauces and
five dollars worth of time you could
convert three cents worth of cold po-
tatOes into an appetizing entree. It also
gave directions for constructing an en-
pire chair out of a soap box by the
simple addition Of some real Turkish
rugs and Persian embroidery. and after
she had spent her quarters pin money
and brought on nervous prostratlon try
ing to construct a piece Of furniture
which collapsed every time you looked
at it. the woman took counsel with her
husband
Il do not deny" she said. that the
theory Of domestic economy is all
right, but I Opine that4it takes a mir
acle worker to operate it.
''Furth ermOre, it is clear that made
over clothes are luxury that only mil
lionaires can afford, and that we are
foolish to attempt to be economical be-

New York Girl Says Time
Is Coming When It VIII
Be Abandoned


New York. Nov 24-Mfss Grace AIu-
rel Walters. who is an exponent Of
the Greek ideas of health, beauty and
physical grace, takes somewhat Of an
exception to the criticisms as embodied
in a book by the eminent Chinese
statesman, Dr.. WI Ting Fang, in which
he says that the American woman is
no more free than other women, for
her. corsets are as bad as the tiny shoes
Of the Chinese women
Il believe we are rapidly coming to
the time when It viii be considered
vulgar. not even respectable. for a
woman to have an unnaturally small
waist" said Miss Walters. NO woman
who habitually laces tightly is capable
Of physical, mental or moral courage
and independence. Corsets are respon-
sfble for half the mental depression
and neurasthenia women suffer from"
Miss Walters said that the American
woman of today is beginning to be-
lieTe in the uSelesSnesS OF the corset
and recites instances where prominent
society women Of England have done
away with the stays.
In England Miss Walters said the
Hon. Mrs. Arthur Crichton, who Is the
daughterinlaW Of the earl Of Erne, is
one Of the most fashionable and best
dressed women Of her set but it is the
way she carries her body, her pOis6
and well developed physique that give
her a beautiful figure, not an expensive
armOr Of steel and satin beneath her
clothes. The niece Of the earl Of Cork,
Miss JacQueline Alexander, is another

Would you believe that little Gaby

Whatever the color Of the hat IS
I insist that the facing shall make q
contrast to my hair, or that it shall
be exactly the same color and melt

must be a sort Of background, and
for big evening hats it is vel to
choose a hat faced with the color
against which your hair and skin
come out most effectively.
A great deal Of green is worn this

- ICE up a time there was a
young married couple who were
- big fish in the social Swim. and
who were greatly admired by all Of the
smaller sardines.
Both Of them were cultured and
agreeable, and they lived in great hap
piness and prosperity for many years
while the man hustled for the needful.
and the woman did society stunts that
made her a headliner attraction where
ever they went.
Finally, however. the wife began to
read the newspapers about the nigh
cost Of living. and that It was woman
extravaganza that put the country on
the blink. Also she fell for course Of
lectures in which the theory was
awaited that a female creature could
dress elegantly and stylishly on q wad
Of dough the size Of a homeopathic pill,
and other females. who had never tried
it, Opined that the trick might be done
if you haunted bargain sales, and never
wasted the maZuma-
Being a guileless creature, the woman
also believed the articles in the Cham
bermaid's Home Journal that furnished
diagrams TO show how a last years
bird nest could be converted into a
winter hat that would make a French
CONNECTION look like 80 cents, and 1t
all appeared so plausible on paper that
II stampeded the entire feminine bunch.
The woman, therefore, went TO her
husband and with tears in her eyes
thus addressed him:
'I perceive" she said, that I have
been wrong in scattering your hard
earned plunks around so freely among
Louise, and Fifine, and the other al
most Paris robbers who hold up US
women for our glad rags. Ny conscience
reprOaches me for 1t. and hereafter I
intend to lead a different life It's me
for the made over gowns and strict
economy"
Thereupon the woman went forth
to put her good resolutions into work
ing order. She beat It to her dress
maker, where. by the addition Of some
chiffon and applique and a few yards
Of velvet and some cut jet and hand
embroidery, she succeeded in having an
old frock made over for not more thar

TWO SIDES TO THE

Strikers Say They Are Win
ming; Officials Say
Strike Is Over

The striking craftsmen Of the G. II.
s. A. system claim that they are
winning the strike against the railroad
company for recognition of their gen
eral craft organization. The men say
that the rolling stock Of the road is
responsible for the Iateness of all the
trains on the G. II. & s. A. and South
ern Pacific This, they claim. is caused
by the inefficient WOrkmen employed
as strikebreakers in the repair shops
of the railroad company The strikers
are holding daily meetings TO receive
reports from the different strike CEN
tiers and they claim that it viii be
only matter of a few weeks until
the railroads viii be forced to capitu-
late and grant the concessions asked
for by the strikers I'm order to secure
efficient service in their shop
The railroad officials still insist that
the strike was over when the men
walked out, and that everything IL

mitted the prince Of Orange to
march into The Hague and reestablish
his ancient and honorable house. they
merited the applause of right-thinking
people the world over.
When Napoleon began striding over
Europe in his seven League" boots he
unceremoniOusly kicked over the rights
and liberties of the house OF orange
and placed his brother, Louis, upon the
throne Of Holland.
Poor Louis well-meaning though he
was, played king for only a short time,
however. His big brother, not fancy
ing the way he acted his part sug-
gested his abdicatiOn, which took place
July ], 1910, and nine days later HoI-
land was annexed to France.
In the fall of 1913 Napoleon lost the
Battle Of the Nations" at Leipsic, and
suddenly found himself minus good
share of his power. Taking advantage OF
the situation, the prince of Orange,
backed by PruSsian and Russian sol
dBers, proclaimed himself prince SOW
ereign Of the united provinces The
Dutch have taken HOllandF' was the
exclamation then heard throughout
England, confusing the ideas of ge-

children and other persons ill-infOrmed

decree of the great powers there was

as king, September q, 1915.
1t was the fitting reward of Will
liam's valOr at Waterloo. The great
Iron Duke" in one Of his dispatches
from that memorable field, had spoken
of the gallant way in which the Dutch
prince had led the Netherlanders
against the French lines and it was
that high notice. rather than anything
else, probably that brought about VIII
liam's coronation.
But the Dutch and Belgian union
was too artificial a thing to last The
conflict Of race, religion and cherished
traditions was too strong for the de-
crees Of the powers, and in 1881 Bel

Then the show went on. It went on
for one hour and 20 minutes, and then
the orchestra leader announced that
the play was over.
Students who attended the show did
not think that they had got their mon
ey's worth and started in to do a
Wrecking stunt Then there was a
rainstOrm, produced by the stage hands
who found a convenient hose and
turned the water on the audience. No
body was hurt, but many beautiful
gowns were ruined
Then the police took a hand and
there was a free for all fight between
the students and the police. Five stu
dents and one man who said he was a
New York lawyer were hustled into
the patrol wagon and escorted to the
police station.
Clubs and fists were swinging in the
air and the students punched the po-
lice, who used their clubs freely.
