new DIVIDED SKIRT
SUCCEEDS THE H0BBLE
Costume Comes From Turkey
and Is Copy of Harem
Garment.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, January 4, 1911.
The successor Of the hobble skirt has
arrived. A new form Of divided skirt Is
to be launched into notoriety in the
spring by the "manneQuins' of a well
snown dressmaking firm of the Eau
5ourg st. Honore.
The new costume comes from Turkey
and is an almost exact reproduction OF
the dress worn by the harem ladies. 1t
consists OF long. loose divided skirt
fitting tightly at each ankle. M. Paul
I'oiret said today that early in the year
he really intends to attempt to popularize
for women.
Hobble Skirt No More.
This is a long cherished ambition Of
mine," he said. 1.-The hobble skirt has
had it's day, and my clients are firing OF
the ungainly gait which 1t makes obliga-
tory. The Turkish ladies' costume has
long appealed to me as being most sensi-
BILE, hygienic and graceful. Moreover. it
complies perfectly with the present-day
craze for skirts which are tight at the
ankles, only, instead of having her move
ments impeded by a single skirt. woman
is to have skirt to each ankle.
"Of course, petticoats will not be worn.
Indeed to my mind. the petticoat is
doomed. The new costume will be made
in each case to the requirements of the
wearer, and the division can be made
either high O. low. as desired. l am not
the garment solely as walk
ing costume. I intend to make the new
creation as artistic and stylish as any
thing | have ever created.

Unrivaled for Comfort.

LAS walking costume 1t will. Of course,
be unrivaled for comfort and elegance
For sports and gymnastics 1t will fulfill
to perfection the requirements of the ath-
letic girl. At races and the theater
hope it will appear in its most esthetic
form. Certainly 1t will add to the charm
and beauty of the feminine figure as no
other mode has done. How will Parish
ennes accept the novelty? All. that is the
question:

The incoming democrats. fresh from the
people, demand recognition on committees
where the peoples voice may be heard.
1t is insisted that the best way to &C
complish this is to increase the member
ship. of the committees 30 there will be
enough places to go around, The demo-
cratic majority in the next House win be
SO large as to make it unwieldy some
democrats fear.
At least one definite result Of the COM
ing conference is expected-the forma-
ton OF a tentative committee on ways
and means to conduct an inquiry into
tariff affairs during the long recess of
Congress and have something definite to
report to Congress upon assembling. II
the factions get into a squabble other
questions may have to be deferred to

DEMOCRATS BUSY
Discussing Problems Before
Conference Opens.
MAY TAKE UP TARIFF
To Select Tentative Ways and
Means Committee.
AVOID LEADERSHIP TALK
All Personal Presidential Ambitions
Will Be Omitted When House
Members Meet January 1o.

Democrats In the House are as busy
wagon discussing the forthcoming
the next House. The meeting is to be
held January 10. two days after the
big banquet at Baltimore-note the
salutary lapse Of time-and from
present prospects Is likely to last
more than one day.
The democrats will have many i'm
portant subjects to discuss. including
the procedure as to tariff Hesitation.
the policy as to commit;es appoint
ments. the power to be vested in the
Speaker.
Around one proposition, however,
they will walk as If on eggshells-per-
sonal presidential ambitions. Any sug-
gestion looking to a discussion OF
presidential aspirations will be attaked
with vigor and "lambasted." Any gem
tleman who expects to put over
something for his favorite candidate
is likely to find alert antagonists on
every hand and all propositions as to
policies will be shifted suspiciously to
prospective presidential candidates !,
Committee on Committees.
1t is expected that the first Ques-
ton taken UP will be the selection OF
the committees by committee on
committees or by the Speaker. A
of this will be whether to-
form special committee or to In
trust the task to the ways and means
IL the latter plan Is adopt
ed there will arise the question OF
limitation of the service OF ways ana
means members on other committees.
A proposition is to be made to the
to increase the size OF all
the prominent committees OF the
House to standard membership OF
twenty-one.
At present the committees vary in size
Champ Clark, Oscar Underwood and other
leaders are favorable to IN
creasing the membership and a resolution
to that effect will be offered by Represen-
tative Covington of Maryland.
The principal argument being put fortn
in support of the increase Is that 1T Will
facilitate placing in advantageous assign
ments the ambitious men clamoring for
The next Congress Is to be
the era of popular rule. The days of the
oligarchy are past and no longer shall
small coterie Of leaders dominate the
House.

A Call to Action.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of Commissioners of the Town of
Henderson.

To the Honorable Mayor and Board
Of Commissioners of the Town of
Henderson:
The matter of our town govern
ment has been upon my mind for
some time. Having seen that it was
inefficient long before anything was
written and published about it in
our town paper, l have discussed it
with other members of the board
Much has been written lately in re-
gard to it's inefficiency, and now what
| wish to say is that it is up to those
who have done the writing to act
and offer something better.
We may write about reforms for
ever, but if no definite action is TAX
en- nothing will be accomplished. If
Martin Luther had sat in an office
writing only about reforms, there
would have been no reformation by
which he made his name immortal
If Christ had sat in an office and
wrote about our Christian religion,
instead of making the greatest sacri-
| fees to establish it, we today would
not be enjoying our glorious Chris
tian civilization. once heard an able
divine say in reference to a call that
whosoever sees anything that is
needed to be done, he or she is called
to that duty.
Since the gentlemen have insisted
so earnestly that they are the busi-
ness men of the board and know the
faults of the present situation, and
in taking the oath of office have
promised to perform the duties of
the office to the best of their ability,
they surely ought to lay their COM
plants and plans of amendment be-
fore the commissioners, who can act,
instead of Wasting space in the news
papers laying their complaints be-
fore thee who can not act.
