Barrels vs- Barbed Wire

From Pearson's Weekly
 To destroy barbed wire entangleuaent successfully has become one of the chic problems of the war, and many and in genious are the expedients that hay been devised to that end.

 If the crinolne girl should decide to take her place as the Heading lady this season she would certainly bring dndreamcd of problems before this city today, for those who designated the skyscraping buildings and their small elevator space, the jitney busses, so small that passengers crowd into each others laps, would certainly never sit down and figure out how the two yard diameter of a wired and myriad ruffled petticoat would negotiate a turnstile or a revolving door.

It has been proven by the world 8 greatest authorities that hair Is bound to grow out coarser and stiffer after each removal unless it is devitalized It As impossible to devitalize hair with pastes and rub-on prepara tions, because they only. remove hair from the surface of the skin.
 De Miracle. the original liquid depila- tory, devitalizes hair by attacking it under the skin as well on the skin. limitations of De Miracle are as worth less as pastes and rub-on preparations, because they lack. certain ingredients that De Miracle alone contains which give 1t the power to rob the hair of it's yitality---its life sustaining force

 Birmingham will have to be re- built for the hoop skirt girl, and all the automobiles will have to have larger doors so they can get in.
 Of course. nobody on earth can tell now what will be worn two months from now any more than they can foretell when the war will end but the chances are that very full skirts wired and frillv if not crinolined will be in vogue but with the poet who sings we agree when he says:
 Today upon the avenue There glided past my startled view A concourse vast of varied hue With many tuck and fold askew, - Tn fashions latest fall parade With bows behind and pleats before. With wierdest furbelows spread o'er, With here slash and there a gore With some cut high and some cut ower- sight to make a man dismayed, Sometimes they're loose and sometimes
 tight,
 " Tile some are neaNy, some are light. Some with queer fluffs and frills bedight And oft the wearer's much in sight;
 They make the rainbow fade But which is front and which is back, Mere men the brains to fathom lack; Some seem quite snug and some seem
 slack,
 Though all the garments have the knack Of showing money good was paid. Erstwhile our grandame minced in hoops, With scores of yards of lace and loops And she her waist in corsets coops That bring swift ruin if she stoops- A woman, truly, prim and stayed And ma wore tippets. turing pokes, And wondrous Gansboroughs, likewise

 And collars that to look at chokes: For these were fashion choicest strokes, And in them all were once arrayed. Such is the habit of our race Fair Helen here would find a place.

Recently Helen Ring Robinson. tn, great suffragist state senator of Colorado and the only woman holding a senator ship in the United States, wrote an ar. ticle which she called The Hysteria o1 Dress and among other things said:
 Two forms of hysteria are wasting the world today. One is the hysteria O, war; the other. the hysteria of dress.
 We have been giving full attention these past months, to the hysteria O, war in Europe and the reek of blood starvation and devastation in it's wake It is full time now for American womer to consider the hysteria of dress in tbi, country. with its trail of folly and waste and wantonness.
 Women have suffered from this all. ment, no doubt, and men with them, ever since Eve left the Garden of Eden. talk ing with her the two possessions she had acquired there-clothes and a. nus- band.
 But never before has this form of hys- teria been so general as here in America during the past few years, with all sorts and conditions of women straininE tr wear the latest desperate fashion in clothes-while avoiding. often, the ap pearance of wearing any!
 Never was there such a determina- tion on the part of everybody to look like everybody else-only more SO. Mover was there such a frenzy of fickleness Never such a tyranny of change.
 A short time ago had occasion to visit my dressmaker. She harried her assistants so audibly, she seemed so worn and distracted. that felt sympa- thetic and asked her about her sorrows. Iney were very. real as she explained them For she told how styles were changing so rapidly that unless she rushed matters a gown ordered from the very latest model was out of fashion before it could be delivered.
 And this chaotic. topsy-turvy of modes affects anatomy as we'll as frocks and iimsies.
 That humorist was quite within bounds flor an American humorist-who siehe l that, so constantly did waist lines change tteir location. he dared no longer put his arm tenderly around his wife.s waist, lest he either choke her or trip her up.
 The women of America are deeply stirred by the fearsome war hysteria be- yond the seas. It is full time they aroused themselves on the subject of the deadly dress hysteria on this side of tho water.
