BACK TO TENT-SKIRT DAYS?
Hoop Craze, it Is Reliably Reported, Threatens to Engulf Womankind Once More. ’
The jazz skirt is doomed. Those who have refrained from drinking wood alcohol for fear of going blind during the brief skirt epidemic need have no such compunction in the future. A French fashion journal says theé hoop skirt will be all the rage within one year, writes Roy K. Moulton in the New York Mall, - : The first hoop skirt was designed by Omar the Tentmaker, and the idea was later used by P. T. Barnum to house his congress of freaks and animals. So far as history goes Omars design was first’used as a skirt by the late lamented Queen Elizabeth, ‘When Queen Liz floated out of Windsor castle to take the air she resembled a full-rigged ship sailing before the wind, with everything working, including the foretop’l spinnaker and Jibs. She occupied so much territory that she had to speak in a loud tone of voice to be heard by her large ¢ircle of admirers. They used to hold the six-day bieycle races around the edge of her skirt. In those days the woman herself merely acted in the capacity of center pole for the tent she wore and when she was overtaken by a high wind it was customary for her flunkies to stake her gown to the ground around the edges. : There was a lull in the hoop skirt -epidemic for some. time, ané hoop skirts broke out in this country along about the Civil war period.. They didn't exactly cause the war, but they may cause one this ‘time.
SANG- AS GUEST, NOT ARTIST
Jean de Reszke Accepted Remunera . tion Only When He Appeared on _ ; the Stage.
Jean de Reszke is a great gentles man, not merely as one of an ancient, historical Polish family, but in his own dignity of character and of bearing. The famous tenor, now retired, is living at Nice. ; ‘ He found himself naturally at homae within social portals then inaccessible to the world of artists; he was an aristocrat among the most aristocratic, He insisted on this, not blatantly, of course; he would not have been an aristocrat if he had; but in the important particular that he accepted remuneration only when he appeared on the stage; never as a guest of society. - A little anecdote of the time will illustrate how De Reszke ingisted on thus remaining a guest. A great financier invited him and his brother to one of his great banquets, and at the end, naturally, the artists were asked to sing. They did so. Then the host, who was generosity itself—it was, in fact, the late Alfred de Rothschild—presented them two blank checks. Herewith a dilemma; on the one hand two proud aristocrats asked to break their ‘rule of accepting no fee for a performance in social life, on the other an act of seeming rudeness in refusing what was meant to be a compliment from a host. ; . They settled the matter by accepting the checks, and sending them back next day blank and torn. ' '
Too Muéh for Airplane.
Efforts to make use of airplanes for the purpose of assisting in the efforts to scale high mountains have not been attended with any great success. In the Alps the varying conditions. of the snow surface has been a serious detriment to making landings and “getaways.” Again, on heights above 15,000° feet the rarity of the air begins to affect the steering and control of an airplane. At 20,000 feet, pilots say, control for landing is doubtful and at still higher levels it is impossible. Of course, planes have climbed to more than 36,000 feet with the pilots kept alive by oxygen. But these have been straight up and down achievements. This is largely why the airplane idea has been given up on Mount Everest. :
More Dwelling Houses.
There was a decided increase in the construction of dwelling houses in this country during the first ten months of 1921, according to information obtained by the civic development department of the National Chamber of Commerce. Construction figures furnished by 44 important cities show that during the period from January to October of last year about $603,000,000 went into new construction, while during all-1920 the total in the same cities was only $8,000,000 more. During the shorter period this year 57.9 per cent of the total was for dwelling houses as against only 86.1 per cent in 1920. It is believed that the dwelling percentage will be larger when all figures are in. i : :
Embarrassing Moment.
While riding home to Edgewater one night sevéral years ago on -the Northwestern “L,” the alisles were crowded and I was forced to stand with my back to that of another woman grasping a strap. It still was warm weather with plenty of flies. Something kept crawling over my right ear, and several times 'I brushed it off as best I could. The annoyance did not cease, however, and ¥ decided I should have to capture Mr, Fly before 1 was relieved. My chagrin may be imagined when, in grasping the supposed fly, I caught the tip end of a paradise plume on the hat of the lady back of meé and yanked it from her head.—Chicago Post, | P
