BUSTLES In FRONT

The "Smart" Bottieeli Figure Re
quires Considerable Padding Of

Special Cable to The washington Heraid

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. Nov. 15.-The hustle, con-
signed TO oblivion for so many years,
has been restored to favor. but not quite
to its old place. for II is now worn in
front. The couturiers have found that
to- achieve the fashionable Botticelli fig
ure most women have to have a small
hustle or padding on the Diaphragm
Women have been schooled to hold
their diaphragms in for a long time now.
a smart West End dressmaker explains,
because fashion demanded the straight
front. And. Of course. they cannot sud-
denly assume the pose that goes with the
Botticelli drapings.
ITO make the gowns draped up In
front look well 1t Is absolutely necessary
that there should be>a forward lift, and
then sudden slump or falling-in of the
folds Of the gown. and when woman
doesn't hold herself with diaphragm ad-
vanced or thrust out enough to attain
this effect. We introduce small pad at
the waistline."

QUEEN CRUSADES
ON MUSIC HALLS
Shocked, She Inspires Bishops to Take
Action After Sons
Escapade.

Special Cable 10 The Washington Herald.
London, Nov. 15.-The campaign of the
Bishop of London and the Bishop of
Kensington on the subject OF music hall
morals is directly inspired by Queen
Mary, whose recent visits to music haIl
entertainments have inspired her with
horror at their moral tone. She was an
noyed beyond measure when she heard
that the Prince OF Wales had been, in
cognito, to see Gaby Deslys at the Pal
ace.
She had a full report Of the perform
ance prepared for her. with the result
that she Immediately telephoned the bish-
op and urged him, in no measured terms
to inaugurate a crusade. Queen Mary is
very much against any continental spirit
or suggestive vulgarity on the British
stage. More than one performance that
she herself witnessed evoked her ill-con-
cealed disust. notably those of George
Robey and Vesta Tilley.
The King is by no means so strait
laced. He has endured many anxious
moments trying to suppress his laugh
ter at jokes which he knew would not
meet with his stern spouse's approval

bpe1al Cabde 10 The washington Herald.
Paris, Nov. 15.-That the American
woman is hybrid, and neither wife nor
mother, is the burden of much discus
sion in the new book, Uncle Sans
Women by Emile Deschamps. Never
before has a French authority scored
American femininity with such a vitrolic
pen. According to him she has an utterly
selfish outlook on life and is interested in
nothing that does not contribute to her
own pleasure. even love being a means
to an end. She has scarcely any effec-
tion, asserts this critic, and is rarely
able to keep her husbands love, because
she does not return II. NJ. Deschamps
contends the American woman has
scarcely any CONCEPTION of maternal
duties, and If she has them, neglects her
children utterly. II rich she has her
automobile and horses and engages in
little fiirtations with her professors and
her masseur. She travels, reads novels,
and never worries about anything but
herself.
The broad confines of the United States
are not large enough to satisfy her am
bition; she thinks she has only to appear
in Europe Immediately to reign there.
Her desire to figure in the European
is so imperious that she ig-
nores the lesson of SO many unhappy
with titled foreigners. So keen
is her appetite for a title that she Is
willing to brave a certainly unhappy
union for the proud satisfaction Of 6 few
