FASHION RUN MAD
Women'S Costumes in 1917 De-
cidedIy Startling.
Eastern Journal Expresses Some Ap.
prehension Whether There Is to Be
Return to the Frankly Reveal
ing Style of Dress.

The history Of clothing, IL is said,
like all other histories, has tenden-
cy 10 repetition, and if this be the
case we can look forward to some
startling patterns. Can 1t be that
women will again dress as in the days
Immediately following the terror Of
1905?
TO quote Modes and Manners Of
the Nineteenth Century:
1.-THE train was quite done away
with. cut round at the bottom, leaving
the feet free, in 1903, and only reach
Ing to the ankles in 1910. The dress,
as II were, moved upward. The ethe-
real nymphs and goddesses had dis
appeared, giving place to grotesquely
clothed figures, more like manikins
than human beings. This tasteless
style of costume reached its height
IN Vienna in 1917, when the dress,
now entirely without bodice. fell half
way down the legs only, being cut
out at the bottom and allowing good
length Of lace drawer 10 be seen be-

lon. Not only did corsets and petit
coats disappear but additional gar
ments were also discarded-the lady
Of society wore rings on her bare feet,
while silk tights and transparent
chemise composed the remainder Of
her costume.
The more fashionable women
strOve as to which OF them should
put on. the least clothing. No one
spoke OF any one as "well dressed"
but as "well undressed," and It be-
came an amusement in society to
weigh woman's garments; her
whole clothing, including shoes and
ornaments. was not allowed in 1900
to weight over eight ounces. Nine.
Hamelin, the beautiful wife OF rich
Swiss banker, went the length OF
walking in the garden Of the Tuil-
cries clad only in a gauze veil until
the obtrusive behavior Of the public
obliged her TO return home.
In 1901 a woman In Hanover laid
wager that she would walk through
the streets dressed only in a chemise
and neckerchief without exciting
any particular attention-and she won
her bet easily.
Decent or indecent, becoming or I'M
becoming, the fashion was too new
and surprising not to excite lively
criticism. In 1894 a Berlin critic,
writing " the actress Barabius, ac-
cused her Of returning TO the habits
OF the uacivillzed world, OF offending
morality and decency and, indeed, OF
awakening disgust-and this merely
because she ventured to appear on
the stage with bare arms-and the
following years the "unclolhed' style
became the general fashion.-New

Both "EIail Columbia" and "Colum-

the former, known before Joseph Hop

Presidents March," has a somewhat
obscure and disputed origin. Both Of
these songs were born on the stage;
they were written for the benefit of
actors. An actor named Fox appealed
TO HOpkinson to write some verses that
he could sing to 1.-THE Presidents

FALL is SOUTHERN
MEMBER OF CABINET
NEW SECRETARY OF THE IN
TERROR BORN IN KENTUCKY
AND LIVED IN TENNESSEE.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-When Ten
nessee and Oklahoma broke the for
,nerly solid south" last November
and gave their electoral votes to War
rem G. Harding, the republican nomi-
nee for president, it was freely pre-
dicted that at least one member of the
new cabinet would be named from a
southern state, and this belief contin-
ued general until a few weeks ago,
when the selections made by Mr..
Harding were announced.
Looking over the list of appoint
ments many asserted the south had
been ignored-some spoke in resent
ment, some merely expressed surprise
but all those who so spoke did so
without investigation.
Albert Bacon Fall, secretary of the
interior in President Hardings cabi-
net, is a native of kentucky, born at
Frankfort; resided in Tennessee, where
his father taught school, for several
years when a youth now is a citizen
and resident of state that is distinctly
southern-New Mexico.
Not only is Secretary Fall former
Tennesseean, but he is former resi-
dent of the little city of Paris, capital
of Henry county, which furnished this
state three governors-Isham G. Har-
ris, Jas. D. Porter and Thos. c. Rye.
Many Of his former school mates
still reside at Paris.
From Henry county, Tennessee, the
Fall family removed to New Mexico,
where young Albert Fall taught school
and read law when IS to 20 years OF
age, engaged in farming, stock raising
and mining, served several terms in
the legislature, became attorney gen
era1 for two terms, was a member of
the constitutional convention, an asso-
ciate Justice of the supreme court, and
in 1912 was elected member of the
United States senate.

Census Shows 100000 Gallons of
Whisky to Be Out of Bond.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The gov

a total of 100000 gallons of whisky
to be out of bond, prohibition Off
Gals announced tonight.
Count was made OF stocks of whis-

dealers storehouses which had been
taken from bonded warehouses be-
fore Withdrawals were banned. Other
alcoholic beverages were not included
i'll the census, nor were private stocks
counted.
Despite the amount of whisky
found out of bond officials indicated
the probability of partial lifting of
the ban against the Withdrawals OF
liquor from government bond.
At present, they explained, only re-
tail druggists are permitted to with
draw whisky, but consideration is be-
ing given to regulations which would
permit Withdrawals of whisky by
wholesale druggists.
