What Next in Woman's Dress I?
From the Chicago Inter Ocean

From the chicago Inter ocean.
What will lovely woman wear next
which is to say, what will her 1918 gown
be like?
This question is inevitably suggested by
a series of silhouettes in the London
Graphic depicting my lady's vagaries In
dress during the last 100 years.
A century ago the fashionable woman s
gown was almost as skinny as it is now.
The style of 1872 was called the 'em-
pre- and its distinguishing feature was
the extraordinarily high waist line, which
was placed as high up as it would go. II
wasn't so skinny at the bottom as now,
however, and a woman could take a nat
ural step.
By 1880 there was a modification In the
direction Of more material. the skirt be-
ing considerably fuller. Also the waist
line was lower.
The year 1864 saw the hoop skirt in all
it's glory. 1t has never been equaled and
can never be surpassed. Ten years more
and the hustle and the "Grecian bend
held us in thrall. Lucky the woman who
never had to walk like kangaroo! And
lucky the man who never set eyes on a
"Grecian bend!
Growing scantier and scantier from the
hoop skirt, woman's dress by 1905 was
apparently about as skinny as could we'll
be. But 1911 saw still more reduction.
And 1912 achieved the seemingly impOs-
sible in the hobble skirt.
And now, what next? Woman can't pos
sibly make her dress any scantier. And
she can't go back to hoop skirts. for the
simple reason that there isn't room for
them in twentieth century life. Fancy.
for instance. suffragette or a business
woman in a hoop skirt!
And, of course, there's got to be a
change next year. Two seasons alike
would be simply preposterous. Anything
for a change SO long as it's change!
We give it up. And what's more, 1t is
our humble opinion that the women
themselves are considerably puzzled over
the situation.

ORIGIN OF "L0G-R0LLING."
Political Custom Borrowed From
Pioneer Backwoods.

From the Springfield Republican.
l once heard this definition given of
'Iog-rolling": You scratch my back and
I'll scratch yours politically" And that
Is just about what 1t does mean. There
are lots and lots Of bills passing through
state and country legislature that have
no particular interest to three-qua rters
Of the legislators. 1t would be hard in
deed for such bill to get through II II
were not for the custom Of exchanging
courtesies. One man who has such a bill
to put through hears that Senator Blank
has a pet bill that he is trying to manipu-
late through. so he goes to Senator Blank
and tells him that If he and his friends
will vote for his bill, he will see to 1t that
Senator Blanks bill gets the votes Of his
friends.
Nearly everybody imagines that this
term originated in politics.; such is not
the case, however. for its origin was In
the backwoods farms. where neither creed
nor politics cut any figure at all, and
where a man helped his neighbor with
heart and soul without stopping to ask
him whether he believed in voting the
right way. When a young man got
married or when new settler appeared
the neighbors laid to and helped him
clear his land. This was done in the
spring, when everybody got together.
first cut the trees down and then burned
the tops and branches. Next came the
true log rolling, when the tree trunks and
large branches that had not been burned
were rolled to great pile and set on
fire. This work was the hardest and dir
test of all, as ashes covered the workers
from head to foot: yet nobody complained
and when there was another log rolling
to be held every man turned to and gave
his share of work.
Sometimes this was called a piling bee
to distinguish 1t from the cutting bee
and driving bee. These bees were the
life of the old-time colonists and the
whole process lasted oftentimes a week
ready for the driving: the driving bee was
the final telling of the trees, for the trees
were never cut clear through. but were
left in such a manner that when the last
blow was driven home and the key tree"
was made to fall the others each falling
against another, came down with rever-
berating crash.

GUARDING ROYALTY

PATR0LLING THE LINE
Elaborate Precautions Observed
That the Railroad Shall Be
Clear and Safe.
From Parsons Weekly.

From Pearson's Weekly.
When the king and queen and their
suite travel by train, not only are the
most elaborate precautions taken TO
guard their safety. but every effort is
made to protect their majesties from the
slightest annoyance or Inconvenience. 1t
is time of dreadful anxiety for the rail-
way officials, and few Of them breathe
freely until the royal special has passed.
Most minute and detailed instructions
are issued to station masters, engine
drivers. guards, platelayers, signalmen
and all who have anything to do with the
route over which the royal train must
pass. These are printed in red ink, must
be kept strictly private and must be COM
municated only to those in the service OF
the company, who, in the discharge OF
their duty, require to know and act upon
them. And these persons must not give
any information whatever resi- Getting the

are the precautions that the possibility of
an assassin concealing himself is re-
