SILK INDUSTRY
HIT BY HOBBIES
Abandonment of PetticoatS Is
Cause of Big Loss to the
French WeaverS.

PARIS, Oct. 12.-Tight skirts and the
disappearance of the silk petticoat are re-
sponsible for the serious decline in the
silk industry at Lyons.
The tightness of the one and absence
of the other have caused a deficit of SILL,
000 900 in the pockets of the French, man
ufacturers. They bemoan the days of
elaborate and expansive feminine gar
ments and have sworn vengeance on the
person or persons who first thought of
shedding petticoats for the sake of per
feet curves and artistic contours
In 1911 the silk magnates of Lyons sold
only $79, SAC, 900 worth of their wares,
while in the previous year the total sales
amounted to 500 $4,000,
The claim is that, with the present fash
ion only about one-third of the silk previ-
ousy required is used for feminine gar
ments.
