SIDE WHISPERS IN LONDON

The London exquisite is doing his

ion that was somewhat frowned upon
a few years ago when Lord Rocksav-
age attempted its resurrection But
that was in the days before the war,

the regulation military mustache of
the last FIVE or six years that British
young men of today are growing tufts
of hair i'm front of their ears with most
hideOus result.
The earl of LOnsdale and his broth
er, Hon. LancelOt Lowther, have al

in this hirsute face fitting they are
usually credited with the desire to sug-
gest the sporting" atmosphere in
which they are generally TO be found.

PAPER CLOTHES IN JAPAN
Much Might Be Saved by Adopting
kimono as Everyday
Dress.

The Japanese have had paper clothes
for many years and some of the most
attractive kimonOs in the Far East
are tailored of wood pulp. An ex-
pert on Japan insists that the layman
will find it hard to distinguish these
kimonOs from the expensive silk wrap
pers. Everybody i'm Japan wears XII
mOnOs." he remarked, according 10 the
New York Evening Post, land the pa
per garments are very popular and in
expensive. For about $1.J0 you can
buy a kimOnO that looks like a $50
outfitand feels like il, too. The pa
per is soft and pliable and il can be
draped gracefully about the figure. If
Americans. men, women and children
alike. could be converted TO the XII
mono as everyday dress. paper clothing
might become the only weir.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"JITNEY."

Turing the period which i'm
- mediately followed the
Mexican war. a number Of words
which were cOntractions or
slight changes of terms in COM
mon use south of the Rio
Grande entered the United
States vocabulary because of the
increased use of collOquial Span
ish in the southern part of this
country. Among these words
was "jitney"-a combination of
two Mexican words meaning the
lowest possible value, and first
used by American gamblers in
scornfully referring TO the
small change" or chicken
feed" which the Mexicans insist
ed on introducing into the games
of chance. The copper cent be-
ing rare in those days, the term
was gradually applied TO the
United States five-cent piece,
and worked its way North.
where, among the street arabs
of New York a nickel has long
been known as 'jit," just as
cent is a meg" "dimmo" is
dime and a "cutie" is a quar-
ter.
The advent of the private mo-
torbus which charged five cents
for ride helped materially 10
revive the term, the automobiles
first being known as "jitney-
busses" and then the name was
shortened 10 "jitneyS."
