So many Norfolk suits and waists

necessity to the well-dressed woman.
White or linen colored suits allow the

at the same price were of elastic taffcta

the same counter selling the veil pins

Things seem to have come to a pretty
pass when a lady cannot remove a few
sheaths of lingerie without throwing
people out of work. And stranger STILL
1t appears, there should be a complaint
against the hobble skirt and its other
narrow companions simply because it
precludes the necessity of voluminous
undergarments and deprives thousands
of girl petticoat makers of their en-
ployment. But the Womans Trade
Union League complains, and is going
to take some steps to bring back the
old fashions, which called for plenty
of linen on every female figure.
This league, which is designed to up
lift the working girl, has made its an
nual report, and finds that hobble
skirts have made petticoats obsolete and
encourage the abandonment of other
time-tried and staple garments in a
manner which should make pneumonia
one of the most general affections In the
land.
A uniform dress for women is rec
commended by the league, unless the
''barbarous make-ups" of the present
day are abolished. This dress Is not
described in the report. but between the
lines 1t can easily be seen that II should
be composed of flowing skirts heavily
garments of comfortable factory-made
material.
This is the economic situation which
threatens to precipitate a serious
conflict between the workers
of the country and the ladies tailors
and their patrons. The league report
blames the tailors much more than
the ladies themselves. And 1T declares
war.

Then a strange thing happened, for he
rolled over on his back, and his body
grew suddenly into an island shaped
like a man. But where there had been
bones in him, there were white rocks,
and instead of blood there ran great
veins like those of body, only these
were full of gold. So the dwarfs were
very happy to be free and spent hours
