THE HUSTLER OF ROME. THURSDAY NOVEMBER,B 1894.
FORWOMEN FOLKS
THE LATEST SKIRT.
HOW TO WEAR IT AND YET BE WELL
AND EREE FROM BACKACHE.
It’s a pity, hut if a skirt is fash
ionable this season it must be
heavy. For besides the material
and lining there is the stiffening.
If French haircloth is used the
difference in weight is perhaps but
little, yet every extra yard of ma
terial makes the skirt more pro
ductive of backaches. Skirts are
untrimmed and very plain, says
madame, but she forgets to men
tion that if they are up to date
they frequently measure seven
yards around.
v The sensible woman strikes a
happy medium. She will endeavor
to be stylish enough to look well,
and yet not so fashionable that ill
health is the result. She selects
light weight material for her skirts
this winter if they are to be made
according to fashion’s latest whim,
and she removes the weight from
her hips by wearing skirt support
ers over the shoulders. These sup
porters are fastened to the band of
the skirt by shield pins. To pre
vent the skirt from sagging in the
back sew a hook to the belt and an
eye to the inside of the bodice.
WOMAN AND HER WAYS.
“A very brilliant Englishwo
man” holds that “the number of
children should be determined by
the income of the family.” If this
very brilliant though immoral per
son knew anything about the sort
of human nature that keeps the
father of the family hustling, she
would know that the income of the
family is very apt to be determin
ed by the number of the children.
According to a Chicago critic,
“the only dangerous books written
nowadays are written by women.”
That is absurd, of course, but the
grain of truth in it is that in lit
erature or anywhere else when a
woman does begin to let go th©
conservatism of her sex she is very
apt to let go all holds at once.
Queen Rana v alon of Madagascar
is a well-educated woman of thirty,
five who spends her time chiefly in
gossiping, chewing betel and play,
ing draughts in her palace at An.
tananarivo. It is thought by some
that she is almost as useless as if
she belonged to the Four Hundred.
All the “woman’s pages” are
giving direction for beautifying
the hands with pomades and cold
creams, but it is nevertheless a
fact that the most beautiful hands
are those of the woman who has
used them to raise half a dozen
children for lives of honesty and
earnestness.
By her gift of $20,000 to found
a “chair of comparative religions”
in the Chicago University, Mrs.
Caroline E. Haskell expects to ac
complish a great deal for the
world, though it is a fact that most
people in Chicago and some out
side of it are suffering not so much
from a lack of knowledge of reli
gion as from indisposition to prac
tice it.
It is said that Mrs. Amelia Jenks
Bloomer, of Seneca Falls, who in
troduced the breeches that bear her
name, was a “very ladylike wo.
man,” but she, certainly had no
sense of the grotesque and no hot
ror of the hideous.
Some of the hats which aie il
lustrated among the winter fash
ions for women are revivals of those
worn by the cavaliers who follow
ed Rupert against Cromwell, and
it very often happens that gar
ments worn by women were a part
Os the male costume at an earlier
period of masculine development.
A student of Horace wrote as a
motto for his granddaughters
“Simplex munditiis”— an untrans
latable phrase which means, among
other things, that the best dressed
women wear no diamonds.
It is hoped that when women
bring on the millennium good
taste will increase to such an ex
tent that no one will ever think of
posting his grounds with threats
to take the law on those who do
not keep out of them.
It is quite proper for ladies who
hnvejuat returned from |abroad to
request their rectoi to read for
them the proyed of thanksgiving
for,those who have eecap»d the
danger of the great deep It shows
a prof er spirit of thankfulness and
at the same time impresses such fe
male msmbersof the congregation
as have net been able to afford the

MENTIONED IN PASSING.
It is difficult to realize that the
habits and costumes of American
women are a matter of as much
amusement to the ladies of those
lands which have the misfortune
not to belong to the Union, as
those of the Corean and Japanese
are to us.
But that this is • >, is j r >ved by a
native Indian’s description of a
New A ork belle’s methods. She says
that her mother having taught the
young lady that she is as good as a
man—and better—she takes a
ourse of “love novels,” spends
much time at her toilet and on ga
la days goes forth “wearing in her
bonnet flowers, feathers, dead
birds, seaweed, moss, horns, thorns
and big needles; in her dress pins,
hooks ties, iron and brass bars,
clips, stitches and what not;” and
s her bosom, occasionally a living
zard.
This is a quotation from an Eng
lish periodical, “Woman,” which
would seem to indicate that sta
tistics are not the strong point of
someone. “About half a century
ago,” a French woman is reported
as saying, “two simple children at
a garden fete at Versailles took a
fancy to me, and would have me
talk to them, play with them and
prepare their fruit. Their own very
fine ladies bribed and coaxed to
avail; the children returned to me
and sat upon my knees.
Destiny has strange surprises
in her lottery ! Those children are
now her most gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria and the ex Em
press Eugenie. At that time, who
could have foretold their future
greatness,for they were bothmanv
mov s from bolding the sceptre?
So you see that on my lap were
seated at one moment the future
Sovereigns of two mighty king
doms.
About half a century agolQueen
Victoria must have kept the sim
ple ways of childhood to quite an
advanced age if fifty years or so
ago she seated herself c-nfidingly
m the laps of strangers. For fifty
years ago Her Must Gracious Maj
esty was just twenty-five years old
Flour Mills burned
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8. —The
Rex flour mills weie almost tota -
ly destroyed by fire to night. Thr
mills were erected ata cost of S3OO,
000, and were among the largest
flour exporters in the West Their
home market was extensive, and
the products of the mills was well
known in Europe.
The mill proper,with all its cost
ly machinery, was oruned to tie
ground. The warehouse,with 5,0 C
barrels of flour and about 4,00(
bushels of wheat, is also a total
loss. The loss is estimated at $165,-
000. The mill employed 100 men,
The fire was discovered about 6
30 p. m. in thedustroom. Befon
the Fire Department could read
