Of the fimsiest material, which evil
IDENTIFY had beer tre-ted to a phos-
phOrescent wash, worn by Miss
Beresford, a pretty young woman,
caused a thrill and a near riot on
Main street.
The gown was more than diapha-

an ethereal appearance to~the young
woman as she boluIy trIpped along
the principal streets accompanied by
a stalwart escort
A mob followed. Churchgoers
paused on their way to evening serv-
ices and upheld their palms in holy
horror. but many Of them, as if hyp-
notified, Joined the thronR. A motor
man and conductor abandoned their
car and followed on. So did the pas
sengers.
Like will -the-wisp floating
over a misty meadow, Miss Beres-
ford led the way apparently indiffer-

The phosphoresCent gown lighted up
her graceful form like a candle in
side a jack o. lanters, and the crowds
silent but watchful pressed closer.
Two policemen tried to turn back
the throng, but they were brushed
aside The crowd gasped with dis
appointment when the phosphorus
began TO fade on the gown, shutting
out a vision Of lOveliness.

Real Transparent
Gown Comes to U. s.
Philippine Cloth Can Be Doubled
Several Times and Still Seen
Through.

PHILADELPHIA,S Sept. 2o.-Much
Joy Is in store for the wearers Of
X-ray gowns. Just exactly the thing
they have been looking for has arrived
at the psychological moment from the
Philippines and is now on view at the
Commercial Museum here.
Formerly the Philippine X-ray cloth
was too thin for use anywhere except
in the tropics, but now that American
women have adopted the diaphanous
skirt II becomes appropriate as dress
material and several local department
stores have ordered large consign-
ments of the fabric
II is more diaphanous than the
thinnest of wolfe, more pellucid than
the most clinging crepe de chine and
more transparent than the hlmiest Of
crepe meteor 1t can be doubled sew
eral times and still be transparent.
In one layer II has no more thickness
than a CObweb.
II is called pima cloth because it is
made of half silk and half pineapple
fiber. II comes in all colors and in
stripes Of all designs.

shown by the avidity with which
some of the leaders Of extreme garb-
ing on this side Of the Atlantic are
ordering them. Those familiar with

great vogue here
Persons interested in X-ray shoes
say that the opponents Of the slit
skirt the transparent skirt, kneelets,
anklets and all the rest will not de-
nounce the X-ray shoe. The shoe
would give all the protection that
lovely woman requires for her feet.
and In addition, IT would conduCe

too much dressed, say the X-ray shoe
advocates, and a shoe which, like the

HEAL TIL EXPERT
GIVES REASONS
FOR SLIT SKIRT
Colorado Pure Food Exponent De-
cIares Diaphanous Gowns Are
Kidney Disease Preyentives.

DENVER, Sept. 20.-Wilbur F. Can
no. former State Pure Food Commits
sioner and friend of Thomas A. Eil-
son, warmly defends the X-ray dia-
phanous skirt and says that the pres
enC style Of gowns worn by women n
the East is strictly moral, according
TO the Bible Canno gives FIVE rea-
sons why slit skirts and 'X-rays
should be adopted by all women.
/ The "X-ray" and the slit skirt
afford free circulation OF air about the
body. Air is a tonic and stimulant
to the skin.
2. Absence Of so many underskirJs
makes less weight upon the hips and
may be called a rUphylactc meas
ure in kidney troubles. It may save
backaches.
3. Absence OF the usual amount Of
clothes necessitates more frequent
bathing, thus opening the pores and
causing freer perspiration. This
means less burden on the ekidneys.
Here comes in the argument that the
West is the natural homo Of the
"X-ray." 1t Is in a climate like Den
YER that sufferers from kidney dis
eases are more numerous. Where
there is much humidity these troubles
are fewer, owing to much perspirtng.
4. The latest fashion permits of
freer movement of the limbs and con-
serves energy.
8. There is less labor required IN
ironing, washing and taking care OF
clothes.
As to the moral issue in regard 10
the question about skirts, Canno re-
lates that in he Garden OF Eden
Genesis 1859 Adam and Eve were
not ashamed.
