tIons Gives Her Two Husbands.

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald
Vienna April 4.-Because of the state
law in Hungary which insists on both a
civil and a religious ceremony. a young
girl in Maria-Theresiopel, Southern Hun
gary, now has two husbands and Is su-
ing in the courts for separation from one
of them.
A man named Stephen Misiak was to
marry Anna Ambrus. but did not arrive
at the registry office punctually. The
registrar. who had a large number Of
marriages to get through that morning,
called the names of the couple, and on
finding that Misiak was not there ordered
the best man, Andreas Arokszallasi, to
take his place as deputy"
The best man, somewhat flustered,
signed his own name in the register in
stead OF that of his friend. but no one no.
ticed the error. The bridegroom arrived
shortly afterward and went through the
religious ceremony with the bride.
Today is was discovered that Frau
Misiak has two legal husbands, the best
man, Arokszallasi. having the better right
from legal point of view. The peas

would soon become contaminated by the

Tradesmen' S Profit.

SHE TALKS ON CLOTHES

Several clergymen have recently been
delivering sermons on the brevity of
modern woman's skirts, and there has
been a disposition u place the blame
for the present fashions at the door
OF the fashionable society women on
the ground that working girls exaggerate
in cheap materials the whims of the
wealthy. But this criticism, according
to Baroness Won Glantz, the author.
formerly Katherine Giles, OF Washington.
is quite unJustihable.
The real reason American women
wear costumes of the kind criticised.
says the baroness, rs because they have
allowed themselves to become the victims
of trade tricks. Before the days of sew
ing machines and the fitted-while-you-
wait ready-made garment, clothes were
selected with a view to comfort, cost.
and how long or how well they would
wear.
But nowadays commercial conditions
make 1t advantageous for the cloth manu-
facturer. the garment maker. the whole
sale, and retail merchant, besides a vast
army of fashionable dressmakers and
milliners, to change the styles often and
radically. The American woman has al
lowed herself to become a slave to these
vagaries OF fashion introduced by the
tradesmen for profit to his business. She
has forgotten that dress Is an expression
Of character. for good taste. good sense,
good judgment, and refinement-or the
lack of them-are never more in evidence
than in the selection OF ones clothes.
Mirror of Character.
IF the eyes are the mirror of the
soul it is equally true that dress is a
mirror of character. Take for example
the girls who work for a living An
employer judges the character and ability
OF these girls far more by their clothes
than by their faces.
"A young woman applying for q po-
sition may be ever so beautiful. but II
her heels are overhigh, her skirt over
tight, her waist overflow or overlacy, her
coiffure overexaggerated, or her fingers
overbejeweled. she has a very slight
chance of securing employment. Her
tawdry, hashy appearance makes one
think of Elbept Hubbard's caustic cpl
gram: High heels and high ideals sell
dom go together. And II this is true of
high heels what about the girl whose
shoes are always run down at the heels?
Doesn't she give the impression OF being
extremely careless, and are We not apt
to think that any one so lacking In self
respect as to be needless of her personal
appearance might be equally careless and
slipshod in her ways generally? A pet
ticoat hanging below the skirt, a soiled
collar, or breach between the belt and
skirt band, are also signs Of the slovenly
and it goes without saying that
