am a man and | should dress like
a woman, if | were not such a COW
ard, a writer in Life says.
That is, should revel in velvets,
in silks and satins, in plumes and ruff
ties, in rich or delicate colOrs, in dar
ing and dashing modes, in endless va
riety suited to my within, to the wealth
er or the occasion. 1t would be
great fun. 1t would be an artistic
qualification. But / don't dare.
In the days of knighthood, when
men were really brave, they out
dressed the women; but in these de.
generate days we do not venture our
fancies beyond cravats. No man in
modern times has dared to dress as
he pleased except Oscar Wilde, and
we buried him with craven Kisses.
We men rail at women's fashions,
but in our hearts we know ourselves
to be the slaves of fashion; Of one
dull, deadly, monotonous fashion,
which we hate, but from which we are
too cowardly to free ourselves.

CANCELLATION OF INCREASES
 IN FREIGHT RATES
Has Been Authorized by the Interstate
 Commerce Commission.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Cancellation of proposed general increases in freight rates by transcontinental rail- roads on traffic from and. to the Pa cific coast and the inter-m mountain country and the east was authorized today by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Notice was given of compromise between carriers and ship pers for a maximum increase of ten cents per hundred pounds on carload shipments and 25 cents per hundred pounds on less than carload traffic to coast points.
 The proposed increases amounted in some instances to several hundred per cent. and were suspended by the com mission several months ago after ex- tensive hearings here in which ship pers vigorously protested. The great bulk of the traffic to points concerned is involved. The commission at the same time cancelled hearings set for November and December in Chicago, Salt Lake, San Francisco and Port land and Spokane.
 No changes to mountain points from eastern territory, between the At lantic coast and the Missouri river, are contemplated and the commission stated that accordingly discriminations under the long and short haul clause now existing between Pacific coast ports and the inter-mountain cities will be diminished to the extent of the increa ses to the Pacific coast ports. The eastbound carload rates on as
