FOREToLD BY PROPHET
Diaphanous, HobbIe and Slit
Skirts Predicted in Manu.
script 200 Years Old.

CORNISH, Colo, August 25.-The ar
rival of the diaphanous. the hobble and
the slit skirt is the fullfillment of a phoph-
ecy of Sir Charles De Puyster Goodwin or
Scotland, who lived 200 years ago, ac-
cording to a manuscript found today by
Miss Faith Corson Smith, in trunk.
Dates Back to 1904.
The manuscript is dated November
10. 1904. and reads, in part:
1.-The time hath come when / think
there is much to be revealed to my
children's children in clothing the human
form.
II cannot believe that men will for
ever wear wigs. swords and knee
Ladies should not be so circumspect
in their dresses, which are cumbersome,
and the long trains which please their
to be naught but design to conceal
that which the Creator meant should De
Perhaps posterity will learn that
there is naught to be ashamed or IN
that which God hath created.
Purpose of the Creator
"The Creator never meant men and
women to be so burdened with velvet
ribbons. lace and powder that His handi-
work should be concealed or distorted.
The Romans, it seems to me. were much
more sensible than we are today, and 1t
may be that In a dozen score Of years
peoples Of the world will grow weary
Of these late changes which are only
worse than those which were their i'm
mediate predecessors"
Sir Goodwin lived in Scotland I'M
til he became involved in political of
lenses that made him fugitive to Lon
don, where the fashions evoked his dis
pleasure.
