IN THE WOMAN'S WORLD

into the street car. The athletic girl
seems to be unc omfortable in the tube
skirt and no doubt she, il, for the steps
she has long been practising and the
almost mannish carriage that she has
acquired have to be cast aside in the
new gown. There is a happy. medium
in skirts as well as in anything else.
and here in Honolulu the narrow
dresses have been carried to the-ex-
IRENE only by the lew who go In for
all the fads" The tube was probably
designed for the slender girls and wo-
men who are neither athletic nor
stout.
Have you ever watched q motion
picture of the Civil War days when
crinolines were worn? They look ri
dicuIous to us, and the women seem
awkward in the hoop skirts that sway
from side to side, propelled by the
swinging of the metal cage beneath
them. No doubt you have smiled, too,
at the pictures taken some years later
when bustles were In vogue. Perhaps
on some rainy day you have found
stored away in an old trunk an old
family album and while looking over
the ancient tintypes have laughed at
the odd styles prevailing in the gowns
that your great-great grandmother and
those before her wore. Have you ever
thought how dreadfuliy shocked they
would be: IL they could only take a
peep into the streets of honolulu?
Styles go In cycles, and perhaps we
shall some DAY be wearing the same
ones that those dear old people wore.
In England, about year ago, the
modiste tried to bring back the crino-
lines, and the manikens paraded about
In the most elaborate costumes. but
the people were not easily persuaded
and the poor creator of English modes
was defeated. With the majority the
nationally narrow skirts are popular,
and although some of the fashion
plates from Paris indicate that more
material is being put into the cos
tunes, the narrow lines are preserved:
indeed, they seem more narrow than
they did season ago. The jump from
the full to the narrow skirt was in
deed sudden, for only nine or ten
yes, even four-years ago, the trains
on the evening gowns spread out like

when the eo-eds were fashionable the
bottom of the skirt measured a deal
more than two yards. t
The complete change in the figure
Is remarkable. The tiny waist has
disappeared. with the result. that wo-
men look much more substantial and
normal and much stronger. The long,
graceful lines that give woman
height tand not breadth) are appreci-
ated both by those who are naturally
slender and by her larger sister, and
by the petite maiden who would give
anything in the world" If she could
grow an inch or two. Physicians say
that the Improvement in health Of
many women in the leisure class Is
due to the fact that they give. their
bodies more freedom. <
If those who have decided to make
a raid on the tube skirt succeed in
accomplishing what they want to ac-
complish, let us hope that they viii
not force US to wear very full skirts,
for they are neither becoming nor
easily managed. E5&= \, e.

A recent item in the San Francisco

that the clubwomen In Chicago have

These women think that crime would

Maddened by Sight of Wives
and Children Suffering
From Hunger, Miners AS
sumo Menacing Attitude.
TROOPS ARE RUSHED
INTO MINING FIELD
Every Effort Being Made to
Prevent Outbreak Which
May Sweep the Whole
United Kingdom.
(National News Associetion)

LONDON, March 28.--TroOpS took
the field today for the first time in the
British coal strike, while 10000 9th
ers were held under marching orders
at Aldershot. Becoming restive under
the delay in settling the strike and
maddened by the sight of their wives
and children suffering from hunger
the strikers in many districts have as
sumed a menacing attitude, threaten
ing to precipitate a wave of violence
which may sweep the United Kingdom.
Four hundred soldiers were scatter
ed about the collieries near Chirk,
Benbigh county, North Wales, where
rioting was precipitated by several
hundred miners returning to work.
Five hundred other troops were
rushed into the Staffordshire mining
field where there was fierce fighting
between strikers and police at the Lit
tleton colliery yesterday and last
night. Nearly half a hundred rioting
strikers had been battered by police
clubs and their comrades were in no
mood to make hostile demonstration
upon the arrival of the soldiers.
The soldiers on strike duty were
armed and were placed on duty about
the mines in the districts into which
they were transported.
In spite of the fact that the end of
the struggles seems to be in sight, the
suffering will be prolonged into next
month by reason of the fact that the
returns of the referendum on the mini
mum wage ballot are not returnable
until April 1. Anticipating at least one
week more of idleness throughout the
local coal fields of the British Isles.
railroads and manufacturing plants
are taking steps to meet conditions
even more serious than they are at
present.
Suspend Traffic.
The railroad managers have decid-
ed to suspend all freight traffic ex-
cept perishable goods from April 8 to
April 9.
A serious split has occurred among
the officials of the miners federated
union. Some leaders want the miners
to return to work at once, but others
are standing out against this.
The minimum wage bill, having pass
ed second reading fl the House OF
Lords, should reach the committee
stage in that body today. There was
| every probability that it would pass
third reading this evening and receive
royal assent from King George tomor
row.
Liberal members of Commons, repre-
senting mining constitution constituent
cies, were invited to assemble today
for an important statement from Pre-
| mier Asquith on the attitude of the
government.
