A leader in daring and new fash
ions for women has startled her towns
people by wearing an elastic gown. I
The thing is made of yellow bands of :
silk elastic. the same stuff that hose
supporters are made of. She wore it i
to dinner at the hotel where she lives
and was hustled from the dining room
bv the proprietor. The dress adorned
not to saw adhered to, the fair figure
of the wearer and the hotel man OBJ
jected, perhaps because he was mod
est and possibly because the gown
gave the woman practical advantage
over him, in allowing an extra course
or two at dinner. However. the room
belonged to the proprietor and the
dress belonged to the woman, and as
no compromise could be effected. the
owner of the new creation took her
gown and left the hotel. The dress is
quite frank. leaving nothing to the
ina gination. and it saves the cost of
corsets. Still, if one must be driven
from the house for wearing it. it could
scarcely become q popular mode of
dress
