All Mankind Akin.

Or consider the dress of the Min
oan women Of ancient Crete, the old
kingdom of Minos. which touches
the very sunrise point of history. 1t
is that more than anything else that
makes US feel the kinship Of modern
mankind with its earliest known
Representatives.
Those women, who lived unreck-
oned thousands of years ago. long
before Homer. wore low-necked
dresses, pulled sleeves. nounced
skirts, pinched their waists and
curIed and piled UP their hair. and
all SO witchingIy that a French eT-
pIorer, on first seeing their frescoed
figures on a wall of the e1cavated
palace Of Knossos. exclaimed: why
these are Parisiennes!'
The same story is told by the
dress of the women of Mycaeneau
times, OF the days Of AtheniAn
glory, of old Persia, Of Babylon, OF
Egypt, of Mexico and Peru in the
days of the conquest. and 1t Is con-
tinued amid different scenes. in the
viEwams of Indian chiefs and un-
der the palm trees and IN the how-
er-bedseked huts OF coral-reefsd
islands. You take the measure OF a
tribe, q people, a race, a nation
when you see how 1t dresses its
women, or. rather. how they In
terpTet its civilization by the dress
which they choose for themselves.
Every change OF the political
weather produces some change in
the fashions Of dress. best expressed
in what women wear. The periods
Of storm and calm can all be read

Already at the church the Hidden
Hand had appeared with his ennis

posed as the priest. Another was
now made up to represent the sex

Hand concealed himself and his
men, as he heard a step on tho

Verda did not know 1t. but out

At the door now they could hear

that the human contemporaries Of

tinctive quality Of female dress and

It is the flowing dress and the
