The Petticoat King
By EL11KKT
The petticoat king is deail Ions Uvn the
king!
That Ik, lin Is dead financially gone
into bankruptcy, laid down, cashed In,
and a receiver has bpen appointed.
The petticoat king
was wresldent of a
corporation that
inado more petti
coats than all the
petttcoatn manu
facturers In Amer
ica. On being Inter
viewed as to the
causo of the col
lapse, the ex-kltiK
declared that lera
than half the
women you now
meet on the street
wear petticoats.
W are obllKcd to
take the word of the
ox-klnK. for It. but
KemiPBly he knows what he Is talking
about.
lie says that his firm have In stock
petticoats to the value of over a million
dollars. That Is, these petticoats cost a
million dollars to produce. But they
cannot be sold for half this, simply for
the reason that the swish and swlns and
musical rustle of the petticoat are no
longer In demand, (
A few years aifo petticoats had color,
mid they also "listened." Now;, neither
of these things Is deslrabje. The slim
princess has created a vogue. The gown
flingx like a process servpr.
So confident was the cx-klng that petti
loatf would not go out of fashion that
he banked on his prophetic vision, but
alas and ulack, he prophesied In tho di
rection of his interests. Ho had lived so
lens In a petticoat atmosphere that his
fcoul had become subdued llko the dyer's
hand.

An Appeal
By BEATRICE
Will the mothers and fathers ot mar
itageablc daughters forget their years
and turn back when they were young,
while they ueal the following letter?
"I am 2 years of age, and a young
man has ueen calling to are me twice a
week for the last three months. The
parlor and dining room of our home ara
separated by large folding doors, which
'ire always open, making one large room.
"Whenever my friend calls, mother and
father sit In the dining room and read.
They never come Into the parlor and
carry on a conversation with us, but sit
there like two Judges about to pass sen
tence on a couple of law breakers. We
naturally feel self-conscious, and after a
naif hour's conversation (about every
thing under the sun except whit wo
would like to speak about) tho converse
becomes strained, and his visit generally
ends In our taking a walk and finishing
It on the front porch.
"I maintain that a girl of my age Is
entitled to the privilege of sitting In a
loom alono with her lover, and that my
parents can Jntt as well sit In the sitting

And behold, the world gooa right along,
as It always has, and we are Just as
hai.py without the petticoat aa with it
In fashion, we have cause and effect,
day and night, winter and summur, sys
tole and diastole. Things awing way out,
and then they come way back. Fashion,
like the unforgotten tide, ebbs and flown.
A few yean ago we had the long,
sweeping train, The ladles picked up
the train and carried It across the stteet,
and the onlooker looked the other way.
That was the day of pettlcoits-fluffy,
foundng. frivolous petticoats, if jvo
over had a petticoat government It was
t hall.
In the daya of long skirts and flouncing
petticoats ladies were careless about
hosiery. And as for footwear, they were
J slipshod and Indifferent.
Now, the coining of the short skirt de
mands footwear and hosiery above re
proach. The king of petticoats says that many
women will wear a pair of stockings now
that cost as much aa the entire rest of
their raiment. They are like unto the
Mexican hidalgos, who wear hats that
cost more than their suits, spurs that
cost mora than their boots, and have a
saddle worth twice as much tm tho horse.
Hosiery Is having Its brief day. Never
yva the sale ot stocking. so great, prices
so ' high and patterns so varied. Shoes,
too, command a price, and are of a stylo
and daintiness nqver seen In history.
Tho short sklrtr. the clinging gown, the
.scanty underwear, all these, with a dab
of patchouli, catch aaid lure us, and the
swish and rustle and swing are as thins,
forgot.
Our hearts so out to thtk abdicated
king. Ho thought he ruled, but time and,
chanco have told him otherwise. He
merely grabbed hold and held on. That
Is all any king does. Kings, like petti
coats, are superfluities. We can do with
out them.

room by a private hall. There ace lots
of little confidences which we would like
to exchange, which to them might sound
silly. We dare not whisper, and I can
Bssure you that the whole situation Is
extremely unploaaant."
The right place for a girl to meet her
lover Is In her fathers home, and it is
wardenshlp Just like this that drives her
Into mtoUng him In parlts, In sitting with
litm on the steps of public buildings, and
on btrect benches, and the "sweetest
story of all" has been told many tlmM

has brought nothing but disillusion, who
will contend that their glrlK are "better
off" unmarried. With this opinion, they
will throw every obstacle In the wa to
prevent tholr daughters from coming
Into their Just and natural heritage.
They will refuse to let a girl walk with
a man and when he calls they w)ll sit
like the parents In this letter, "like two
Judges about to pass sentence on a
cquple of lawbreakers.''
With two pairs of old and very critical
and disapproving ears within the range
erf hearing, the conversation of a young
man and his sweetheart Is limited to
the weather and politics. They have no
interest In the letter subjtot in their ec
statlo condition and their only concern
with the former Is the hope that it will

ho calls for them to enjoy a stolen half
hour on the front porch
It is not fair to those who are feeling
j the springtime of life In .their veins to
deprive them of any of the Joy that
ccmes with It.
It Is not Just to a girl to drive her into
the dark comers of parks and streets to
cieet - man.
And when that friend Is more thsn a
' friend, and her parents sit by with out-
Mretcheu ears, It is not Heating her with
th respect and trust a girl of 22 merits.
This young man has been calling twice
a week for three months. I iudr ihm

silk and ecru lace. Tho hair nnd the silk
went beautifully together, and I found

There, there's 'n letter from olio ot

sure enough woman, too.
I've heard about this sort of husband,
but I never could really bellove ho Is real,
Here's one caiiRht In a net. Let's all
take a good long look at him.
Not very Inspiring. Is he? Mttle eye,
big ears, hard little head with knobs on
it, thin Hp", a pompous walk, good
clothes. IlelotiKs to two or three lodges,
nover forgets to pay his dues, either

little woman, and a liar, ami a creeping,
eiawllug, hiding, fibbing, hunting, ran
sacking thlng-hl.i own wife, the woman
ho promised to love, cherish and proteot,
even from her own self. And he goes
nut Into the world of men and tries to
hold his hend as high nny of them.
!Whut Is this woninn to him but a servunt,
and why doesn't he pay her wages und
let It go at that?
..ovn him! I.ove a man like that! You
must be a very affectionate creature. I'd
want him to take himself ami his money
so far away that I never would even
hear of Ihnn again.
lave him? No. I don't think t would
do that. You mightn't llko It working
for other peui'l" ugaln, and why should
you give up your good placo In tho world,
a good honest, decent place, Just because
you am married to a skinflint?
What ehall you do? Why. make hire
over, that's what. How? He nice, oh,
be so nice, so sweet, so lovely.
Tell him that you really are such b
little goose, you uan't manage things at
nil. Ask htm to help yoit-to explain
things to you. tell you how to manage In
Ills great big businesslike, clever way.
Take the bills to him, ask lilm what
tp do nbout them . Shalt you cut down
the meat, ahall you do without milk,
must Johnnie go without the winter
overcoat he needs and shall Mary stay
home from school for want of the books
that cost so much.
Put him face to face for once with tho
dally task that Is yours, the task that
takes all your brain, all your energy, all
your ingenuity to manage and see what
he will do about It.
Don't let hlni suspect you for a min
ute; Ndon't scold, don't cry. Just be help
less, and wondering and "Impressed."
He'll never see through It but he'll be
gin to see some other things, things
that will mnko him blush for shame If
he's any kind ot a man at all, and he
must be or you couldn't care for him as
you say you do.
Take father shopping with you. In
sist upon It, to help you with his advlci.
and watch him bo made n gooue of by the
first flattering saleswoman that cums
along. ltt him get an Idea of what
clothes ivally cost not what they should
cost, but what they do cost, let him plan
a few meals and suve a fortune on them.
alvo father something to worry over,
It will do him good and you, too. Oct
some one after his pocketbook that will
keep htm mo buvy counting what little
change he'll hae left that he won't
have time to nag at you.
lle Isn't so tupld as he acts; he Just
doex that way for the same reason that
a big man hits ti cripple Because n
can, that's all.
Make him think he can't, and the trick
Is done And you are the very one to do
It, Mury.
