THE FOLLY OF OUR FASHIONS
It is Amazing That Men and Women
Yield to Them.

The president of the National Cloak.
Suit and Skirt Manufacturers asso-
citation is quoted as follows: Thank
goodness, the time has passed for freak
styles in women's clothes and the day
of sane fashions has returned. After
next fall men will not be ashamed to
see their wives dressed in the height
of the seasons fashions" Rather we
should say the depth. However, the
gentleman ought to know. although we
note that he says masculine embar-
rassment will not depart until after
next fall" We gather from this that
summer and fall styles are to con-
tinue in their present peculiar lines.
Jackets, in this sane day to come "af-
ter next fall" we understand are to be
finger tip length instead of those puck
cred little pieces that have been pass
ing from shoulder to shoulder as COW
erings. And as for skirts, these are to
be shorter and fuller We knew that
there must have been a joker some
where. They are to be fuller, but
shorter" When .''o'' were narrow
they were long; now that they are to
be fuller and plated they are to be
shorter So the good wife cannot eX-
pect to make last falls skirt do duty
next winter-even if such radical
economy were thought Of.
Business generally cannot be said to
be booming. Yet the textile industries
are reported to be in comfortable
and prosperous condition. Dress ma
tcrals especially are in demand. Con-
slider the gowns and skirts. and how
much more material seems to be re-
quired in their makeup. Flounce or
tlounce, ripple on ripple, keep the
looms Il turning. Tight skirts ought
to require less material, so they are
overaid and inlaid. After next fall
skirts will be shorter, which ought to
indicate saving in quantity but they
are to be fuller" plated, and flaring.
Thus do the extremes even up
After next fall men will not be
ashamed to see their wives dressed in
the height of the seasons fashion.
This may be true. Yet what about the
good wifes shame for her husband?
There is a spring coat for men that is
n beautiful misfit. It's sleeves are cut
like a cheese and its drapery is such
as to make the ordinary man-not the

PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE
Liquor Interests Fighting Law to
Last Ditch.

Prohibition victories are never easily
won. Triumph at the polls is not al
ways followed by legislative enact
ment in accord with the expressed
will of the majority of the voters.
Who doubts this statement has only
to re-read the history of the special
election on this subject in South Car
olina in 1892, when Il majority of the
Democrats declared for prohibition
and the legislature, at Tillman's in
stance, gave them the dispensary. In
the language of Scripture, they asked
for a fish and were given a serpent.
And even where legislature gives a
statute in accord with the will and
wish of a majority Of the voters. VIC
statute has run the gauntlet of the
courts. And even when ii has done
that, the people are often robbed of
the fruits Of victory by officials who
will not make the statute effective. a
majority of the Tennessee voters favor
prohibition, but its enemies are fight
ing hard to keep prohibition from be-
ing really effective in that state. The
fight has been waged fiercely, but on
the Tennessee supreme
court took the last prop from under
the saloons and liquor in Tennessee
when it declared the nuisance law"

constitutional. The law not only gives
the courts power to close saloons, but
to confscate property within the state

Intoxicating liquors for interstate

Zens Of county will invoke the nuis-

property for delinquent taxes. The
effect of the law is to make owners

while a law inimicial to them is being
fought i'm the courts, they may carry
an election which will give them
power to repeal or nullify the law
