A Husband Often Spoiled

e ONE wives spoil their husbands-qute a common thing for a wife to do
she attends oil the mar hand and foot; she brushes his clothes; III lay
out his collars and ties and other things-she is his valet in a very real
qure.
Such a man in the end is just a baby-husband. and has tic be told when o
put on this article or that. AS to clothes such a mar cannot even thinkf for
much less act -
Again, a wife purchases all the lothng-underclothing-that her husband
requires-the man is lot allowed to enters shop almost. Nov, it would in
deed, be a good plan If wives actually made husbands buy heir w things:
II wou teach the men no ito depend o N Others constantly
OF course, the average mar is delighted If his wife attends tic hou like a
slave, N the woman is justa as peased-she likes 1t, of course But wbat a
fool III man becomes for eventually he depends O his wife for everything

it isn't qute his W fault
AS to courtesy-wen it cannot be denied that a wife very often knockz

and off she runs and closes the doc Now, she adopts the san wav In

History of the Hobble Skirt

= TsHAT the hobble skirt is a relic IF the days of Cleopatra, the great
Egyptian queen and fashioned for her out of the hImy gauzes of the
cas- by her high chief dressmaker, is the statement of John mnon
of Haymarket, London, known in the British metropolis as "the William Nor
of fashions" r
History" said Simmons "a we have been told since time tmmemorial
repeats itself When at Thebes in Egypt recently I found the picture If he:
old Egyptian rulers, and most Of all was I drawn to the nkenesses If Cleo
paua, Taia and the Princess Hatssu. There seemed to be a haunting fa-
mfiarty that could lot place Sud denly like a flash it struck me- AN
three were wearing hobble skirts There was the sam effect of tightly
unit. the region OF the knees was reac hed, there being n waist line dis
cernible Below the Knees the goods a fashioned into a founce somewhat
resembling our plated affairs"
From the i'm of Cleopatra down to the present day, Simmons traces the
evolution of the hobbbe skirt From Egypt to Greece W as but a step. and
here he found the cheHon, which a nothing more nor less than q fuller
edition Of tho scanty Egyptian garb, and from Greece to Rome was the next
stage, when the pepum VAS found, fuller still vet preserving the long straight
lines Then came the Normans witha n added amount OF dress goods in
their everyday garments and o down the years until the famous Tudor
can during the regn of Queen Elizabeth. when hoped skirts became the
vogue. In a revulson of tastes, the styles forthwith began to revert %
the original type and the Stuart reghne followed. At this time, though the
gowns we're still very full they marked an epoch in the history II womans
dress and also in mans for beauty.
Then came the modified cushion skirts of tho good Queen Anne, and 10
down to the Napoleon empire period which witnessed a revolution in the
lines of womants dress. Modern fashions were condemned and with n
accord the women of the empire adopted the simple dress of the Greeks. To be
classic was the keynote of all their endeavors. Back ito the old Greek styles
they went with nc bound, and sc We have come with two interudes TO the
ond a marked by the crinonne which distinguished the eariyv Victorian pe-f
|nod. This gradually subsidized into the dress improver and the buste.w which
brings us u p Ito our own day and time. And now We are confronted with the
skirt
The advent Of the hobble skirt last winter brought with it shneks of dis
from the majority, who insisted that never was anything created SO ugly
as the straight narrow skirt. But in time the camor died down. and aweS
find ourselves rot only submissive In the matter, but many rather admire thu
trim appearance of the girl in a narrow skirt.

HATS AND HATS.


The large picture hat is always with
us, but 1t has little in omtno with
the wild wonders We have peer wear
ing or bearing, according to Temporal
ment. Round hats with fiat Trims
turned back fatty to the low crowns
are coming in, and frequently these
have the crowns composed Of masses Of
flowers, while the flower toques Of
three years ago are with us again,
greatly improved by our greater free
dom in the use of color. A strange
impertinent little Louis XII. capote,
with a fiat, pointed leaf of plated
straw stretching back at the same
angle as the point of the cap, and
reaching even further, is a novelty in
the way Of headgear; but 1t only suits
small features and sparkling express
sions. Upon six feet Of solemnity it
would be frankly ridiculous.
Shown on q model with delightfully."-
quaint, old-fashioned airs was a hat
to match. 1t was a wide brim, low
crown hat, covered smoothly with
checked silk, trimmed in a scarf and
bow of the check, plped with black
and VITA strings to match the scarf.
Worn by the average woman, the frock
and hat might seem merely absurd,
but thu right woman would be delect-
able in them.

To Clean the Curtains.

Dear MISS doom:
Will o kindly publish how to clean
ecru curtains? They are of the best
kind. Also how to get rid of moths:
they seem to be in the wood.
ANXIOUS HOUSEKEEPER.
In cleaning curtains you should first
measure them accurately before put
ting them In the water, so that they
may be stretched right to dry, either
on the stretcher or on the grass. Then
put them in a boiler of warm water to
which has beer added half a bar of
soap, shaved. three tablespoons tur-
p%entine and three tablespoons am
monia. Boil about fifteen minutes,
rinse lightly and starch slightly or use
a little thin gum arabic water to stiffen
it. If no grass is available, and you
have no curtain stretchers wiring them
dry and lay on clean sheets on the
carpet In al unused room, pinning
down every point. To preserve the
ecru tint or to deepen the color add
coffee to the rinsing water, strong or
weak as you wish the curtains light or
dark. You can give them a cream or
butter color with saffron. To pin them
on the grass measu off a plot the
exact size of the curtains, smooth a
curtain over 1t, sticking a toothpick
through each scallop well into the
ground. Two or more curtains may be
dried over the same picks. If you will
place some pieces of gum camphor
around where the moths do congregate
they will soon depart for new fields.

SUBSTITUTES SUGGESTED.

Sweden, according to a Paris news
paper, supplied half the pulp paper of
last years production, and in 70 years,
We are told, Swedish forests will have
disappeared. During the last election
France required S45.5s5 kilograms of
paper for bills lone. But, says our
contemporary, means will have to be
found to discover a substitute for wood.
But how is it to be done? A process
has been discovered of getting paper
from old tar yarn OF rope. Another
suggestion is to make paper from the
bamboo, the mulberry, the furze bush
and the cane. In the French
Congo and Sudan, our contemporary
says, there is an abundance of papyrus
which lendS itself to papermakfng.

THE SKIN AS A SHIELD.

Recent experiments by DR., Engel at
Nauheim show how perfect is the pro-
lection afforded by the normal skin
against the invasion of liquids and
gases and of dissolved mineral and or
ganic elements. His results seem to
render it questionable whether any ele-
ments dissolved in water can markedly
penetrate the tissues beneath the UNI
broken skin, even after prolonged baths
The absorption of gases and volatile
elements is more pronounced, but DR..
Engel doubts whether the quantity OF
indictments thus imbibed is sufficient
to insure any real therapeutic efficacy.
But he thinks 1t probable that meth
DDS may be perfected for the introduce
ton of known quantities Of radioactive
emanations into tumors by the process

Simple tunic gowns are exceedingly
smart this spring, and this n is
adapted to a great many different ma
terials. Linen would be handsome so
made, pongee suits the design admir-
ably well, mohair can be utilized with
success, and, for cooler days, fine
French serge would be charming treat
ed In the same way. The blouse is cut
in n with the sleeves and made over
a guimpe lining. The skirt is five
gored with a t~wo-piece tunic. The
trimming of braid and OF buttons is a
smart one and the high wasted skirt
so treated makes of h novelties
of the season. Combinations of ma
terials are exceedingly fashionable, and
this model could be utilized for tunic
and blouse of one fabric with skirt of
another quite as we'll as for n ma
terial throughout. Women who have
to remodel will be glad of this
last suggestion. Plain material with
skirt of striped, or striped material
with skirt of plain, would be pretty,
or wool material could be used in COM
bination with satin. The high waist
line is much liked, but the skirt allows
of tina treatment and of a belt so that
1t could be made In whichever way may
be found the more becoming.
For a woman of medium size the
blouse will require "a yards of ma
terial q inches wide or Ia yards SO or

with l yard of all-over lace, and for
the skirt will be needed 6 yards 27, 43s
