There is already a distinct movement
on tho part OF many dressmakcrs in Lon
don TO resist the present craze for freak
irocNs. one OF the foremost Is Mr. John
simmons, Of the Haymarket. who wac
among the first to protest against the hor-
rioie Mobile skirt OF a few seasons ago.
For year" he said, II have been ure-
ing a return to the simple and the beauti-
iui IN dress-that is. dress that is not
made up of broken lines. The whole plan
iot the freak frocks Is inartistic. The line
OF the skirt is broken up at the foot or
from the knee downward, and the eve
is attracted not to the general appearance
or n woman. but to the points where the
line Is broken.
1T is impossible for a woman to walk
about In one of these freak frocks without
the frock being stared at, and the stares
are not always of admiration.
1T is only fair to say that these extrav-
asant dresses are not worn by the people
who really lead fashions; they are worn
by ignorant people who believe they are
lin the fashion. In sense. they may be.
for there Is the fashion that women of
taste follow and the fashion that Is die
tated by the Paris houses. who simply
make exaggerated models for the sake of
commerce to satisfy those who want soma

THAT kissing is dangerous Is an op!n-
ION that long has been held by medical
men generally. The only point on
which they appear to differ Is whether
1t is a filthy habit
This question has been reopened hy DR.
j. Baird Morton. medical superintendent
to the Bury and District Joint Hospital
Board. which possesses one Of the finest
sanatoria in England. Speaking at n con-
sumptive exhibit the other day he de-
clared kissing was not only dangerous but

DR.. Martin. another medical officer OF
health Of quarter Of a century's expert
ence frequently has written reports on
infectious diseases. and he holds that
kissing is only one OF the minor causes of
consumption. He thinks milk from tu-
berculous cattle. Ill ventilated houses, the

district. insufficient food and bad cond-

kissing on the lips is habit that most

not their lips. Swecthearts kiss on the

Among the upper and middle classes,
where the surroundings are usually most
favorable, kissing is very freely INDUCED

much less than in the slums.
