EFFECT OF TIGHT SKIRT
REACHES THE POOR

The only noticeable result Of the ad-
herence to the tight skirt Is the number
Of work hands who have been turned
away from various factories owing to a
far less quantity OF material being used
and the absence, of underskirts
The cry which has been raised by these
poor people. who. inN some parts of
France. where silk stuffs and fashion,
able dress materials are manufactured.
are practically starving. is a pathetic
one indeed.
The assertion that people now wear
two gowns where one was formerly
sufficient does not appear to ameliorate
their distress. Although such protests
may influence the charitable minded {,

effect at all upon Madame le Mods

PHOTOGRAPHY C0NGENIAL
OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN

A California girl writes enthusias-
tically OF her success as portrait pho
tographer in her own home. She had a
large north window put into one room
Of the little bungalow, in order to pro-
vide the necessary light. and turned a
small back porch into a dark room.
Then she purchased a good portrait
camera and invited some OF her friends
to pose in specially picturesque ways.
When she had quite a number of
artistically finished pictures she put
them in an attractive mission case IN
front Of the house arranged others IN
the rooms. and sent out Invitations to
her friends and other possible patrons
for the opening exhibition. The studio
was exquisitely decorated with fresh
flowers, and two pretty girls presided
over the tea table. The people came,
were charmed with the work, and made
appointments at once. The studio was
particularly popular for women and
children. and the girl soon had SO much
business that she was obliged to employ
an assistant.

gains.
For Western Maryland Hook, Beall,

tackling was sensational. Every man
on the team deserves credit for his
game fight. The work of the officials
was highly satisfactory, no wrang-
