The Butte Miner, 1923-03-25, p.26

2 SUNDAY MORNING • • THE BUTTE MINER • • MARCH 25, 1923. ## Column 1 # Art Exhibit Reveals Beauty-Helps Used by Belles of Bourbon Franec [sic] [boxed headline, spans columns 1-3] Once women used toothpicks in public and powder puffs in the privacy of their boudoirs. What one century approves, another rejects. For Habit in any century is only a twin to Fashion and together they are a fickle pair of sisters. Today Habit reverses the code of yesterday, toothpicks being quite taboo and powder puffs quite the vogue in public, although Fashion, who is seen much in company with Good- [article continues at the top of Column 2; the last line above is partly cut by the rule] [boxed advertisement: illustration of a woman in a banded cloche hat] Our Splendid Assortment of— Spring Models that are real attractive, becoming and of the latest beautiful creations await your inspection— At Popular Prices. Haydn Millinery 215 West Broadway [below the Haydn advertisement; spans columns 1-2 to the foot of the page] # Fashion's Forecast [drawing of a woman in a ruffled skirt at the left of the title] Annabel Worthington For the convenience of those of its patrons who reside in parts of the country where the securing of stylish and up-to-the-minute patterns is not possible, the Butte Miner has established a pattern service. The Butte Miner's patterns are designed by some of the most skilled artists in the country and are all thorough and practical. The Butte Miner does not carry the patterns in stock, so those ordering must allow sufficient time for orders to be forwarded to Chicago, from where the patterns will be mailed direct to the subscriber. The patterns will be priced uniformly at 15c each; one design will be shown each day and several each Sunday. Remittance must accompany each order and those ordering should be careful to write or print their names and addresses as plainly as possible so that no mistakes will occur. The patterns are ordered by numbers; each one is numbered. [illustration: two women, one in a polka-dot dress under a parasol, one in a plaid blouse and white skirt, with a small back view of a dress between them; figures marked A and B; pattern number 1374] The Summer afternoon dress shown in figure A and the sports dress shown in figure B can both be made from the same pattern—No. 1374)—which cuts in sizes 36, 38, 40 and 42 inches bust measure; and figure A in size 36 requires 3½ yards of 36-inch material with 1 yard of 36-inch contrasting material and 5¾ yards of ruffling, while figure B in size 36 requires 2[⅛?] yards of 36-inch material for waist and folds and 2¼ yards of 36-inch material for collar, cuffs and skirt.

Some people are short-sighted enough to critize [sic] the woman of today [article continues at the top of Column 3] ## Column 3 for the time she uses to make herself attractive. If these critics had been fortunate enough to have attended the exhibit at the Art Center in New York city of the Houbigant collection of seventeenth and eighteenth century perfume containers and toilet accessories, used by women of the time of Marie Antoinette back to 1610, in the reign of Louis Thirteenth, they would have seen as through a telescope that the only difference between women of yesterday and those of today is that Habit and Fashion required them to seek beauty in different ways. Take a typical vanity case of the period of the ill-fated Louis Sixteenth, around 1790. What does it contain? And, more significant still, of what is it made? Among the priceless pieces in the Art Center exhibit (the personal collection of M. Fernand Javal, head of the French perfume house of Houbigant) were many articles to those illustrated. ### Coiffures Through Sedan Roof. How eloquent they are of the little things that worried the lady of Marie's court! For instance, there is a tiny gold bodkin. Not for dainty garments was it used, but to weave ribbons through the tremendously high hair dressings of that day, coiffures so tall that holes were necessary in the tops of carriages through which the hair could protrude while my lady was en route to her destination. Imagine the ordeal of maintaining a courtly composure in the presence of royalty just after somebody has whispered that the ribbon in your hair, some few feet above, has become loosened! Especially when you remember that the maid needed to stand on a chair to reach tl. [sic] And with the added horrifying thought that, without the support of the ribbon as a binder, the whole hair structure may collapse at any second. Certainly those wigs were not designed for a moving picture audience. ### Behold—A Tongue Scraper. The little, rake-edged instrument is a tongue scraper. Its use? Just what its name implies—to scrape the tongue till it is a pretty, seductive pink. Women of today are busy enough, what with eyebrows, eyelashes and trim fingernails not to mention a score of other frets, without needing to make sure that their tongues are shaded just right! The wicked looking knife was used to mixed rouge to the proper consistency. Tweezers, mirror and ivory memo tablet and pencil are more familiar impedimenta of the vanity case. Fortunate for the twentieth century swain that he is not compelled to duplicate the toilet trifles of the time of a Louis of France! Estimate, if you can, what it would cost today to have made by hand exclusively for you a case of mother of pearl encrusted with silver gilt, containing bottles cut from agate with stoppers of delicate pate tender figures! Or to have gold cases adorned with cameo or miniatures perfectly wrought. Vernis Martin done on leather and wood and Galuchat work could not be duplicated today, the latter being a lost art. Galuchat is the name of a man who pefected [sic] a process whereby the skin of a fish was treated and dyed a brilliant green and used as leather is used to cover cases. The only design in Galuchat wor kis [sic] the natural scale of the fish. The secret died with M. Galuchat, the nearest approach to his work today being a Japanese treatment of much heavier shark skin. ### Luxury Brought Guillotine. Chelsea porcelain figures, similar to the one illustrated, also could not be secured in all the brilliancy and lustre of those produced for France's belles years ago. Of an average of three inches in height, these took the form of men, women, boys and animals with a most delicate nicety for detail in their moulding. The heads of the figures, swung on gold chains, formed the stoppers, the whole being a tiny bottle for carrying perfumes. These are the type of article secured by France's courtiers for their loves, as shown in M. Javal's collection. Lavish use of money wrested from the poor and expended for such luxuries swelled the spirit of discontent until it burst into revolution and the guillotine. So long as woman is on earth, Habit and Fashion will have their way and it makse [sic] little difference, as the recent exhibit proves, whether it is one century or another. ### SILENCER. "So that's your new overcoat, eh! Isn't it rather loud?" "It's all right—when I put on a muffler."—Boston Transcript. ## Column 4 # PRINTZ DESIGNS TO FEATURE ELABORATE SPRINGTIME DISPLAY ## Murphy-Softly Models Will Exhibit Exquisite Garments Representing New Style. Probably no establishment has taken greater pains in selecting their display for the Miner style show than has the Murphy Softley company dealers in women's wear. Weeks have been spent in the selection of the garments to be exhibited and when Miss Fannie Larson and Miss [Eunice?] Clark appear on the Broadway stage exhibiting garments from the West Park street establishment they will present to the women of Butte a varied and gorgeous assortment of the latest in fashions. [illustration: woman in a short-jacketed suit; small maker's tag at the foot] MODEL ONE. The Murphy Softley store has featured the Printz line of dresses and from this line has been selected their models. Dinner and street dresses will be exhibited together with wraps and three-piece suits. Printz ,one of the country's foremost firm of designers has produced these garments. A basic principle of all of their work is the manner in which they clothe an individual to suit her peroonality [sic]. The special study that the Printz designers have made of "personalized styles," is no where more strikingly [illustration: woman in a plaid coat and cloche hat; small maker's tag at the foot] MODEL TWO. illustrated than in the gowns to be shown at the Broadway. The street dress is of san shade toule but any monotone is softened by an underlining of orange. It is the privilege of youth to be as swanky as possible and to this [illustration: woman in a jacket suit, one hand raised to her head; small maker's tag at the foot] MODEL THREE. end this dress has been developed in a variety of fabrics, ideal for outdoor wear. ### Evening Dresses. Two evening dresses will be displayed. The pick of the entire stock, they will captivate the eye of every discerning woman. The lines of these dresses are youthful and they impart a supple slender grace to the wearer. The first of apricot lace over cloth of silver makes an ideal garment for any woman and it is one of the charming styles that will do much to add to the season's loveliness. The second dress is of a blue metal- [column continues at the top of Column 5] ## Column 5 [boxed advertisement at the top of the page, spans columns 5-7; illustration at the left of a woman in a black dress and hat with a light wrap, standing by a stair] Buy Your Easter Suit Now On Credit That will not embarrass you at any time, but will enable you to wear it for Easter and while paying.

Suits assume special prominence this year by their decided newness of design and variety of fabrics. The suit, always a necessity in the complete wardrobe noiw [sic] perfectly combine utility and smart style. The three-piece suit is decidedly voguish this spring and because of its charm and utility will be the choice of many. All of the Printz three-piece suits such as will be displayed by the Murphy Softley models have an added [illustration: woman in a jacket and skirt, one hand raised to her hat; small maker's tag at the foot] MODEL FOUR. feature in that they are designed to be put on and off like a coat. Two styles in three-piece garments will be exhibited. Of these two the Jacquette model with Egyptian blouse will doubtless be the most pleasing. This garment reveals uncommon beauty in lines, style and tailoring. The trimming adds an aristic [sic] touch and this suit will continue to enjoy the popularity that befits its practical charm. A subtle charm is tucked away in all of these latest suits and nothing could make a more stunning background than the exceedingly smart bewitching manner of expressing the season than is contained in the Printz models. ### THE SCENERY.

BROWNATONE Tints Gray Hair Any Shade ## Column 6 # PASTOR AND WIFE PLAY "TIT FOR TAT" [spans columns 6-7] [portrait: a woman, large; beside and below it a smaller portrait of a bald man in pince-nez and white collar] Mrs. Emily Duryea and her husband, Clark. Clark Duryea, former pastor of the Holy Roller church at Monticello, N. J., and his wife, Emily, seem to be playing the little game of "pinch me." But pinch in this instance means jail. First she had him arrested for deserting her. Then she eloped with another man and disappeared. Recently she again had her husband arrested and it became known she was living in Binghamton, N. Y. Now New Jersey authorities have asked for her arrest. # SIAM LAND OF PEACE WHILE industrial unrest is a regular feature of life in Europe and America and strikes and lockouts frequently put workers and employers at swords' points, peace and quiet prevail in far-off Siam, where there is no down-trodden proletariat nor arrogant bourgeoisie, and the voices of the labor agitator and the union smasher are never heard. At least such is the impression conveyed by a communication received from the Siamese foreign minister by the international labor office of the league of nations in Geneva. It appears that the organization had included Siam on the list of nations whose governments were requested to join in legislation protecting laboring people, especially women and children. When these requests reached Bangkok, King Hama [sic] VI, ordered his ministry of justice to examine the recommendations and draw up a reply. This was done, and in a lengthy memorandum, bearing the royal O. K., the Geneva bureau was informed that, although the king appreciated the interest shown by the western world in his 9,000,000 subjects, the latter did not need any special labor laws, as they all lived in peace and happiness, thanks to the fact that there was no such thing as unemployment and to the beneficent infuence [sic] of Buddhism. Excerpts from this memorandum read: "The present state of industrial organization in Siam does not require extensive legislation for Siam, being pre-eminently an agricultural country, has not yet become industrialized. In addition to agriculture, trade, chiefly retail, occupies most of the inhabitants. Factories have not yet developed to any appreciable degree. "The standard of living among workmen in Siam differs greatly from that to which workmen in western countries are accustomed. Living is cheap in Siam, particularly in the interior. Their wants are satisfied with a minimum of labor and they have not yet raised any demands for a material change in their working conditions. To one accustomed ## Column 7 to the unrest of workmen in western countries it is very difficult to realize that workmen in Siam are not in a state of discontent, but are satisfied with the conditions of employment, hours of labor, etc., to which they are used, and that no demands for change have been made by them. "There are no trade unions or organization of work people. The result is co-operation rather than struggle between employer and worker. There are no strikes or lockouts among the Siamese. These favorable conditions form one of the great sources of the happiness of the country, and the government should go slowly in the introduction of proposals which, as they have no basis in the aspiration of the people, might serve to upset their habits and customs without advantage to anyone." ### FREES WIFE FROM FITS She is Restored to Health and Husband by Dr. Fred E. Grant's Remarkable Epilepsy Treatment. Mrs. W. M. Bobbitt, West Durham, N. C., for many years a victim of epilepsy, or fits, was restored to health in one of the most remarkable recoveries on record. "She has not had a single attack since her recovery over four years ago," says her husband, who attributes his wife's present health entirely to the home treatment originated by Dr. Fred E. Grant, noted epilepsy or fits specialist. Mrs. Bobbitt was unable to obtain relief anywhere, until she used Dr. Grant's famous treatment. Dr. Grant's home treatment is regarded by hundreds of former sufferers as the most effective remedy ever discovered for epilepsy. Anyone may try it without cost. Just write the Dr. Fred E. Grant Co., and they will send a large full sized bottle of his remedy free, without obligation. If you suffer from epilepsy or fits, simply send your name and address, age and description of case to the Dr. Fred E. Grant Co., [5 or 8?]38 Keystone Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. —Adv.
