W0MEN'S HATS TOO HEAVY
Burden of Feminine Headgear II
Placed on Animals Would Cause
Protest.

Grant Ramsay believes that If dumb
animals were forced to carry such bur-
dens as the large hats now affected by
some women, protests would be made
in the name of humanity. Women
were even more overburdened in mid
Victorian days.
According to Herr Otto Fischel,
whose Costume in the Nineteenth
Century" is written with German
thoroughness, "about 1856 a woman OF
fashion wore a flannel petticoat, an
underpetticoat three and one-half
yards wide, petticoat wadded TO the
knees and stiffened in the upper part
with whalebones. petticoat with
three stiffly starched flounces, two
muslin petticoats and then a skirt
Even If all these were made of light
stuff, the weight and discomfort of
such a quantity of material was so
great that the idea of steel crinollne
was greeted enthusiastically, and the
inventor cleared $150,000 out of It in
ortnight.-London Chronicle.

not to make the bed, and still Liszt
said nothing.

HOUSEHOLD HELP.

Soapsuds should never be thrown

New Medici Collars.

The new Medici collars, distin.
guished by extended ruff effects in
the back. are gaining wider represen'
tation and will no doubt be welcomed
on all sides. says the Dry Goods
Economist The Medicis have the ad'
vantage of being more generally be
coming than many of the Robespierre
styles. The general effect is softer
and more youthful, while the extend
ed ruff in the back affords a delight
full finish. Fine fancy nets and ba'
tlstes in combination with shadow
laces and hand embroidery are IA
vored in the development of some OF
the most striking novelties. Great In
dividnality is given to this style by
the cut of the jabot or vest effect with
which It is finished.
