TINE Petticoat King is dead
long live the King! That is,
he is dead financially-gone
into bankruptcy, laid down. cashed
in, and receiver has been APP
pointed
The Pettieoat King was presi-
dent of corporation that made
more petticoats than all the petit
coat manufacturers in America
on being interviewed as to the
cause of the collapse, the ex-kng
declared that less than half the
women you now meet on the street
wear petticoats.
We are obliged to take the word
of the ex-king for il, but seeming
Iy he knows what he is talking
about.
He says that his firm has in
stock petticoats to the value of over
million dollars-that is, these
petticoats cost million dollars to
produce But they can not be sold
for half this. simply for the reason
that the swish and swing and musi-
cal rustic of the petticoat are no
loneer in demand

From this it will be seen that an
eleven pound package which can
be sent from Rome to San Fran
cisco for IS cents, will cost from
New York to the same destination
$l.S2, a tremendous discrimination
in favor of the foreigner against
our own citizens.
Instances like these will doubtless
do much toward helping along the
cause of the parcels post and even

benefit to both producer and con-

The Parcels Post
BY F. E. 8.

IT HE new parcels post law goes
into effect on January 1, and
while far from being all that
the friends of the system hoped
for is a step in the right direc-
ton. The new law will doubtless
be improved upon from time to
time until the United States is on
4 par with European countries in
this respect.
The new law permits the mail
ing Of packages weighing no more
than eleven pounds, which must
not be more than 70 inches in length
and breadth combined. Up to four
ounces there will be a~flat rate of
one cent per ounce, or part thereof
regardless of distance.
For packages weighing more than
four ounces the rates vary with the
distance, which the following table

1t Won't Do, Professor.


You ought to see those tylzes Of
hers when she comes home from an
errand, why they run to meet her
as If she were some Homecoming
queen and they her loyal subjects.
Their father seems to rather like
the plain, wholesome woman he
chose out of all the world to be his
Wife, too. Yes, he more than toll
crates her. I've seen him smile TO
her across a room full of beautifully
goWned women, and the look was A
caress. But he's an old fashioned
fool, of course-he must be to care
Tor such woman as that.
You can't judge things by that
family, it isn't right to try: when
here's the good professor, so wise.
so practical so broad-minded and
tolerant, telling you just what to do
and how to do it.
What, you won't listen. YOU don't
care for what he says, Won wouldn't
give one joyous laugh of one of
your little children for all the smiles
Of professional approval in the
world?
You are hopeless. absolutely
hopeless, and so I fear is the world.
for, strange to say, I'm afraid it is
full of women just like YOU. Wom-
en- who have forgotten all about
themselves years ago. women who

happy and comfortable, women
who wear a 50-cent hat and are
proud of it so long as the children's
hats are all right.
1t won't do, Professor, 1t won't
do, really it won't You'll have to
get hold of the rising generation
and teach them this new philosophy
of yours. The generation you're
talking to now is too deep in crime
and ignorance and wicked self-sac-
ritice to heed you.
And, in the meantime, if | were

woman with a shabby coat and a

Hosiery is having its brief day.
Never was the sale of stockings SO
great, prices so high and patterns
so varied. Shoes, too command a
price, and are of a style and dainti-
ness never before seen in history.
Catch and Lure Us.
The short skirt, the clinging
gown, the scanty underwear-all
these, with a dab of patchouli;
catch and lure US, and the swish
and rustic and swing are as things
forgot.
Our hearts go out to the abdi-
Gated King. He thought he ruled,
but time and chance have told him
otherwise. He merely grabbed hold
and held on. That is all any king
does Kings, like petticoats, are
superfluities. We can do without
them.

IDEAL HOME MAKER
PLANS FOR FAMILY
The Ideal Working Woman Be-
comes a Philosopher.

Our ideal American home maker thinks
first Of the comfort and health and hap
piness of the inmates of the home
Everything she does or plans is sec
ondsry TO that purpose. After her fam
lily she thinks of her friends and guests,
and with these vital inspirations sne sets
about to make her home a garden spot
of delight, beauty. peace. and happiness.
She knows that the spirit of the woman
is the dominating spirit of the home. II
she is cheerful, amiable, thoughtful, con-
siderate, and full of humanitarian feel
ing, she will realize always that she is
guiding human beings, not machines, 10
do her work, and so will she find the
loving and willing and competent service
she needs. She knows there is nowhere
on earth that peace or happiness or sat
isfaction can be found. IL not at home:
so she oils the machinery and tunes the
orchestra. and pursues her beautiful aim
Indaunted.
The ideal American working woman is.
perhaps, more frequently encountered
than any other ;ype in our search for
ideality.
She is sometimes born to her position.
and has worked her way from small
things 10 greater ones, or she may. be
forced into self-suppOrt by fate or other
wise. But she is never TO be found
among those who have left good homes
and gone out into the turmoil of life,
just from a restless desire to make a ca
reer. She is never tawdry, never snowy.
never mussy, never msnnish. She is al
ways a woman-in voice. manner, and
attire.
She goes to her duties as promptly and
The Washington herald., 1912-04-01

regularly as a man goes TO his, and she
attends to them with as much concen-
tration and interest as the male presi-
dent OF any large concern shows in the
management of his affairs. Looking out
upon the great world of striving and
money getting, she secs other women liv-
ing different lives from her own: some
enjoying the temporary pleasures of
idleness; some baskinE In the sunshine
of unearned prosperity; some blessed
with every good gift, yet unappreciative
and unhappy.
And the ideal working woman becomes
philosopher and thanks God for en-
ployment, self-respect, and the ability to
make her own way TO independence.
Often, indeed. she has others dependent
upon her-aged parents, little brothers
or sisters, an invalid husband, and she
is an angel of light to the humble home
she inhabits And rarely does she dream:
never, indeed, does she know that she Is
the ideal working woman of America.

HOMEOPATHS WILL
RAISE ENDOWMENT
81 600, 900 Fund Soon to Be Asked
by Physicians of that
School.

For the purpose Of advancing the inter-
esls Of homeopathy throughout the
country. a movement has been started
by the American Institute of Homeop-
athy to raise an endowment fund
OF 100000. Homeopathic physicians
throughout the country are expected to
contribute to the fund.
Local homeopathic physicians have Just
received news OF the initiation Of the
movement. The national officers OF the
American Institute Of Homeopathy,
which is in charge Of the endowment
campaign. are in Cleveland. Ohio. The
$1.OooooO fund will be for the purpose Of
maintaining the work Of the institute
and assisting approved homeopathic
colleges and Institutions throughout the
country.
The endowment will be used to further
the homeopathic principle in the prac-
tice OF medicine. promulgated by DIR.
Samuel Hahnsmann, of Germany. in $50.
DR.. Richard Kingsman. one OF the
leading homeopathic physicians Of the
city, said last night that no details OF
the movement have yet been received by
homeopathists in Washington.
Il was not aware OF the fact that the
large endowment was being raised" said
DR.. Kingsman, but I am not surprised.
For the past four years the institute
has appointed a committee to experiment
In the interests of homeopathy From
these experiments has been obtained
much valuable information. The insti-
tute Is always busy raising money for
the defrayment OF the expense OF main
taining this experimental work. From
the size Of the proposed fund, It Is OBJ
vious that the work is being planned on
a larger scale for the future"

TRUE LIVES.

The sweetest lives are those to duty wed,
Whose deeds both great and small.
Are close knit strands Of one unbroken
thread,
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpet. ring
no bells:
The book OF life the shining record tells.
Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes
After its own life-workings. A chiId's
kiss
Set on thy singing lips shall make thee
glad
A poor man served by thee shall make
thee strong:
Thou shalt be served thyself by every
sense
OF service which thou renderest.

them 10 such trivial things as kicking
a perfectly good brick from its conceal
ment beneath an old hat. and painfully
chasing a disappearing pocketbook across
a hard sidewalk, OF endeavoring to pick
a nickel OF the under side Of the cigar
counter.
II must be remembered on this partic-

they seem, and often an innocent-look-

This is the day when the historic pock-

there Is nothing so undignified as to see
a pompous person grasping the circum-
ambient atmosphere In his efforts to
pick up a fat purse, carefully maneu-
vered by small boy on the other end

has a host Of victims. its success being
based on the instinct in all of US to get

Then, unknown telephone numbers are
to be avoided. Last year some 500 ap-

the Zoo, has arranged with the telephone

LITTLE NOTES OF THE
LATEST FASHION FANCIEs

Taffeta suits in all styles are favored
for spring. A great many one-piece
suits have been brought over which will
necessitate separate coats, such as the
Russian blouse in silk or net and for
later wear with lace.
Fine dark blue serge is still at the
front. a material that has had and will
still have the first choice; for a dark blue
serge gown has become a necessity to
every woman who even pretends to dress
well. II is so practical. has so much
style when made well: and this year II
will still show the fine twill. In white
the serge is heavier in effect; the big
rough loose weaves are the best.
A very new idea for a iabot is
straight applique piece OF point venlse.
wide at one end and narrowing at the
point. This is worn with the point slip
ped under the right shoulder. sfsnting a
little, the wide end little LEFT OF the
center front. The open pattern of this
lace makes Il attractive. and widening
at the bottom makes IL new. Jabots
with lace insertion down the center. with
wide friIls of lace and null on both
edges. are very popular as wen as the
double cascades.
Linen will be very prominent in tn.
spring and summer wardrobe. Among
the linens we fnd a heavy. coarse,
crssh-like linen. with an open flst mesh
border. The new linens come In all the
fashionable shades as well as In the
white. The French linens are elaborate.
and are used with English eyelet en-
broidered motifs of somewhat large na-
ture between openwork bands.
