wife cannot be happy with each other,
they ought to separate. Then. per-

HOBBLE SKIRTS
CAUSE ACCIDENTS

Of New York's street car lines. may
vet hare something to say concerning
the STYLES Of feminine fashions OF
dress. and the dictates of the dress
maker be made less absolute. As the
result of an investigation which trac-
ton officials have been carrying on
for some time the conclusion has been
reached that the hobble skirt is a pub
lie detriment and that dresses should
in the future be planned with the
needs Of the public in mind The
chief accusation brought against the
hobble skirt is that it impedes traffic.
While its effect is not noticeable on
subway or elevated :rains where there
is no necessity to step up, there is q
marked difference in the case of sur
face cars according to one high Off
cial. According to him delays caused
by TIE time consumed in stepping up
on to the platform by the wearers Of
tight skirts are a primary reason for
slow travel To this same style he
also attributes many accidents. and the
wearing cut of sidewalks.
"A large number of accidents" says
he, ARE due TO the fact that women
wear hobble skirts which impede them
in entering or alighting from cars

Lost House Is Discovered.
While lost persons are nothing IN

of such cases, the present week mas
brought to light the first instance on
record so far as known of lost mousse
Curiously enough the house in ques-
ton belongs, or at least is supposed
TO belong. to the city itself and stands
in one of the most crowded spots IN
the world adjoining police court on
the lower East Side. For 30 years
back at least nobody has known or
has attempted to find out to whom
the house, an old fashioned brick resi-
dence, really belonged During all this
time il has been occupied rent Tree
by various attaches OF the police court
next door, but the official records OF
the city contain no reference to II ana
apparently nobody knew or took the
trouble TO inquire as to its ownership.
How much longer the modest old
house might have concealed It's lden-
tity in the center of the teeming East
Side had not an accident revealed its
secret might never be known. 1t hap
pened a few days ago, however, that
one Of the occupants OF the mouse
complained of the poor quality OF the
gas supply. The company found that
no record existed OF any connection
with the house and that it had been
illuminating the place for 80 years or
more at its own expense An attempt
was then made to locate the owner
with the result that nobody could be
found who claimed 1t nor could any
record be discovered Of its ownership.
While the city probably will enforce
its claim to the property the early his

of how it came to lose itself in lower
