DEBUTANTE SLOUGH
NEARER THE NORMAL
Prof. Barrett Doesn't Think II Healthy
To Stand Straight.

Detroit, June 4.-Dr. Charming w.
Barrett of Chicago told a clinic of the
Detroit College of Medicine Alumni
that much physical trouble for man.
kind, especially for women, and much
for surgeons, was begun when the
human race came down out of the trees
ceased to prowl on all fours and assum.
ed a dignified, noble and upright at.
titude.
Creeping babies and young women
trained in the debutante slouch come
nearer to the normal, according to
Prof. Barrett's theory.
He believes that the weight of the in.
ternal organs is unevenly and ineff.
ciently distributed by the erect posi-.
tion and the pelvic floor is in many
cases unable to bear the strain.

On the urgent pleading of the en-
press, the emperor has consented to
the marriage OF his quiet" son,
Prince Oskar, to the Countess Ina
Marie Won Bassewitz-Levetzow, for
merly maid of honor to the empress
and heiress to one of the huge feudal
estates of Meckenburg-Schwerin. 1t
will be a morganatic or "left-handed"
union.
Their majesties have recognized the
fact that their sons happiness is more
important than the maintenance of the
strict family tradition" says a semi.
official statement.
Prince Oskar, commonly called the
quiet" son, because, unlike his broth
ers, he is almost unknown to the pub
lie, is keen soldier and a connoisseur
of pictures.
His bride cannot take the title OF
princess, and his children cannot rank
with the Hohenzollerns, but it is un
derstood that the kaiser will raise he,
to the rank of duchess, though it will
probably be some time before she ap
pears again at court functions.
