Wore Red Gloves at Initial Meeting
 of Council

Dortmund. Germany. July ID - Two communists who were elected as deputies of the town councll wore red gloves at the initial meeting or the body. When the time came for the new membres to raise their right hands and take the oath of office, all the other deputies removed their gloves. as is customary ill Germany, but the communists refused to do so. The burgomaster declined to swear them unless they removed their hand covering for the occasion.
 After d lively discussion the colu- munists drew the gloves from their hands and threw them on the floor, in defiance of tho council, and stalked out of the room. They attend, all meetings, but as yet have not been sworn in, and so far as the other deputies are concerned, are not con- sidered full nedged members of the towns law making body.

Bobbed Delegates.

According to the newspapers Of New York
more women delegates with bobbed hair re-
turned to their homes than went to the me-
tropoIs Badges and bobs were the thing
in the convention city. The long haired wo-
man delegate was the exception and not the
rule, and, when it is known that few OF such
delegates are on the sunny side OF 40, the
news becomes impressive.
1t is said that the majority OF the demo-
cratic women delegates left their tresses in
New York's beauty parlors. The shears were
kept busy. And of course, the hundreds Of
visiting women who are wives and daughters
OF delegates also yielded to the lure Of the
modern in hirsute treatment. Those who
bobbed their hair on the trip to New York
explained that they simply were driven to it.
They would as soon wear leg O mutton
sleeves and bustles as to have mops OF hair
on their heads. Times have changed, and
ideas with them

Corsets and Hairpins.

School text books on physiology a genera
ton ago did not hesitate to make war on
the corset. that instrument OF fashionable tor
ture which produced the wasp waist and con-
seouent ills which the girls never complain
ed against as long as they were in style.
Tight lacing was shown in horrible anatomi-
cal illustrations with ribs deformed and vi
tai organs squeezed out OF the proper places
in which nature had placed them The text
books, however, failed at reform. What was
the vogue was the vogue, and nearly one
half of the civilized world was happy even
if miserable.
Now another story may be told. The
text books failed but fashion has succeed
ed The modistes are the physiological re-
formers OF the day. They have said corsets
are not required with the new styles, and
off they have come Corset manufacturers
are in the depth OF despair because they
cannot stay in business when their stays are
not welcome in her dressing room. This is
believed to be the end OF the corset. OF late
years tight lacing declined, but corsets of a
kind were still worn except on occasions
when the so-called "ironsides" were discard
ed for greater freedom on the tennis court
and the ball room floor.
Another business that is said to be on the
downgrade is that OF manufacturing hair
pins. So many bobbed heads are bobbing
here and there that the hairpin is almost
useless article. The hairpin manufacturers
are blaming the BARRIERS for the destruction
OF their business. The corset makers are
anything but friendly with the modistes who
have decreed that stays and style are not
in harmony. But the vogue cares nothing for
business, especially when those who dictate
it know they will create more business in
other directions, and that is no lest
