FAHY 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 trip AN AWFUL PLIGII T. Mrs. Newed—l am in an awful fix, mainma.” Mrs.Eaglebeak— What is the matter, dear? Mrs. Newed—l went though George,s pocket last Light to hunt for change, as you advised me tc. and 1 found some letters I gave hiui to post last week, Mid now I daren't scold about the letters for fear he II scold about my going through Lis pockets 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.
