YOU MAY WEAR A RABBIT

Are Hides of Mollie Cotton Tail.
Bye Baby Bunting,
Daddy's gone a-hunting

To wrap Mamma Bunting in.
That's the way the old nursery
rhyme might now be sung.
For most of the women you see
resplendent in furs called seal, or
mole or coney or ermine or even
leopard are wrapped in rabbit skin
camoufaged to look like some more
popular and less humble-and more
expensive-animal furs than any 9TH
er animal.
Rabbit pelts are used to initiate.
It's just case of dying and stencil
ing. But the result has been to bring
the price of rabbit skins up to So
pound from the 50-cent pound
value of two years ago.
New Zealand rabbit furs are most
sought by furriers, they're bigger
furrier, tougher than those of the
American rabbit which is too tender
for commercial use. But Australia
furnishes the greatest quantity OF
skins.
In Australia great rabbit drives are
held at night in which the animals
are frightened into a long net by g
circle of torch bearers. Thus they
are caught alive and the skin is saved
from damage by bullets.

THAT POWDERED NOSE
By Charlotte Perkins Gilman

By Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
Somewhere within a lifetime arose
new commandment.
"Thou shalt not have shiny nose. "
Where did it come from?
Who laid down the law?
Was it Viennese idea?
Is there any particular race or
class whose noses were more shiny
than other peoples and who wished
to disguise the fact?
Was there some queen or princess
whose nose was, not to put too fine
point upon it, greasy?
No social historians researches
have as yet thrown light on this sud-
den and heavy decree.
But it went forth, and all the de-
voutly submissive obeyers of such
mandates forthwith purchased pow
der and puff and vanity bag.
You meet them in the street, their
powdery little noses, or big noses,
SHINING aIdr WlCn WHlIelcoo1 lOolillliS
up like headlight!
It is vain to suggest that to have
one part of the face whittier than the
rest of it is not pretty.
Or that dead white is not the color
of any human being-except a
corpse.
Or that the human skin is of a
beautiful texture when well treated,
and is possessed Of pores which have
their uses.
AS to the natural oil of the skin,
this, too, is natural and useful; those
having none are very dry and dread
full to look at.
1t is of no manner OF use TO talK
sense to these powderers. =.
"Thou shalt not have shiny nose ,
is craven deep upon thelr-what
shall we say-souls?
We can hardly say minds. No per-
son with a mind, or at least using a
mind, would think that dusty nose
was pleasanter to look at than a
shiny one.
Powder is dust, white dust.
The ancients, when they mourned,
put dust upon their heads.
We, with rejoicing, put dust upon
our noses.
1t is to be supposed that these
ladies have in mind, however remote
". the pleasing of men.
Try now to put yourself In mans
place. &c..
A man may admire a woman from
q purely artistic standpoint:
If he does he knows that this white
smear is not beautiful.
Few men take this high artlStlc
ground. u
They admire women as being easy
to look at" and attractive to love.
In the matter of a beautiful skln'
especially, the admiring man com
pares to the petals of flowers, to rose
petals especially. IL.
And not infrequently he applies
the adjective "kissable."
But powder is not kissable.
"The nose is not meant to be KISS
ed" YOU reply with some heat.
No, but one can hardly KISS tne
mouth beneath without getting pow
dered like humble bees.
