building except the theater had more

its column-shafts outstanding. The
least-destroyed structure, the Library

still uncleared Of the deposit Of ages,

The history OF the marvellous

OF interest to all patriotic citi-
zens of Washington.
This immense tailoring Or
ganization, started six years
ago in one little shop, now re-

frontage of 122 feet on F street
and it is such a business as
could not be built except on the
most secure and worthy foun-
dation.
1t could not be built on mis-
representation. 1t must be
built upon the firm footing OF a
square deal" to everybody all
the time.
The square deal in this case
means absolutely pure all-wool

work and the lowest prices at
which high-class tailoring was

The modern corset is an implement of

preaching against for years. and appar-

at length Of the evil results arising from
undue construction of their waist lines,
but no woman ever admitted that her own
qorsets were tight. They say they wear
them because they need the support. OF
course, the reason they wear them Is be-
cause fashion DEGREES It, and the need of
their support Is an acquired one. AS said
before in these articles, If the use of a
muscle is taken away from 1T, it wastes
and grows weak, as shown by the exam

women cannot hold themselves straight

the narrowness of her skirts. 1t may be
more than a coincidence that the cam

the reign of the hobble skirt. The most
important hygienic defect Of the modern
skirt Is the suspension of such heavy
weight from the waist line and the con-
striction necessary to sustain this weight

Defects in Collars.

supported from the shoulders as is done
in the case Of children.
Defects in Collars.
Defects in collars arise from two
causes-O construction and ca friction.
CONSTRUCTION of the neck, like constric-
ton anywhere else, interferes with the
return of the blood from the head
through the veins of the neck to the
heart. This is a common and little rec
ognized cause of headache. The inor-
dnately high collars worn by women on
some of their dresses may have this eff
feet, but the material is ordinarily too
soft to exert more than enough pressure
to insure sufficient discomfort to make
them conscious of being properly dressed.
With men, however. it is different Their
collars do not produce SO much constric-
tion, but the board-like bands they wear
bring out all the evils that may be caused
by friction. Stiff collars are the most
frequent cause of boils.
No matter how cleanly we may be, we
all have in our skins germs that can, un-
der certain conditions, cause boils. The
most carefully washed skin may be
scraped and we can cultivate from the
scrapings germs that when injected into
animals will cause assesses. These
germs are everywhere present in the
air, settle on the surface and get into
the pores of the skin. Under healthy
conditions the skin is able to resist these
germs, but when any irritation occurs
they begin to get active. The back of
the neck is the part of the body mostly
exposed to the deposits of germ-laden
dust. In addition to the openings of the
sweat and oil glands Cpores). there are
here many large openings at the roots of
the hairs The high. stiff collar rubs the
germs into these openings, and by irr-
tat1ng the skin lowers it's power Of re-
sistance. Nine out of ten eases of boils
occur in the back of the neck. Women
rarely have them. One rarely sees a
single case of boils except where there
has been some mechanical irritation.
Views on Hats.
Whatever may be said of the hats
worn by women from the viewpoint of
beauty. grace and expense, there is little
fault to find with them from the stand
point of health. Sometimes by their ex-
cessive weight and pulling on the hair
they may be cause OF headache. The
hats worn by men have two defects
"a construction and CD bad ventilation.
The construction caused by the hard
band around the head interferes with
the blood supply to the scalp, and is
the chief cause of badness and other
diseases of the scalp. Also the materials
of which many hats are made are i'm
pervious to air. This results in the ac-
emulation under the crown of an over
heated volume of air, which is a source
Of headache. All hats that do not per-
init the free passage of air through their
pores should have openings for ventila-
tion.
