# SUNDAY MORNING · · THE BUTTE MINER · · MARCH 25, 1923. ## Column 1 # Art Exhibit Reveals Beauty-Helps Used by Belles of Bourbon Franec Once women used toothpicks to polish and powder puffs in the privacy of their boudoirs. What one century approved, another rejects. For habit to 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 never to be used in public, although Fashion, who is [illegible] much in company with direst [illegible] [illustration: woman at vanity] Our Splendid Assortment of— **Spring Models** that are real attractive, becoming, all of the latest beautiful creations await your inspection. At Popular Prices. **Haydn Millinery** 215 West Broadway [illustration: woman's profile with caption] Breeding rather frowns upon her public puff practice. **Beauty Hints for Today.** Some people are short-sighted enough to criticize the woman of today [illustration: fashion figure 1374] The Summer afternoon dress shown in figure A of the spring 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. The dress in size 36 requires 2⅝ yards of 36-inch material and 1 yard of 36-inch contrasting material and 5⅝ yards of ruffling three 8 in size 36. The blouse requires 2⅝ yards of 36-inch material for the dress and ¼ yd. for collar. **BUTTE MINER CO.** Please send pattern No. ........ To: Name ......................

If these critics had been fortunate enough to have attended the exhibit at the Art Center in New York city of the magnificent collection of seventeenth and eighteenth century perfume containers and vanity accessories, they might look at the times of Marie Antoinette back to back 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 Henri and Fashion have changed their minds in a somewhat fevered ways. It is a typical vanity case of the period of the ill-fated Louis Sixteenth, around 1789. What does it contain? And, more significant still, of what is it made? And, furthermore, among the Art Center exhibit (the personal collection of M. Fernand Javal, head of the French perfume house of Houbigant), are many articles to thus illustrated. **Coiffures Through Sedan Roof.** How singular they are of the little comb-like things that was day of Marie's high coiffures. So necessary for a good lookin. Not for dainty garments of past It used to be, lace coffin through the tremendously high hair dressing of that day; coiffures so tall that hides were necessary in the tops of carriages, Madame de Pompadour is credited with inventing this startling route to her destination. Imagine the delicate lacework of hair bowing in pressure to the pressure of royalty just after somebody has whispered that the ribbon in your hair, some few feet above, has become loosened. Or to have been conscious that at any moment one might needed to stoop to pass a chair to reach it with a look! And the startling thought that without the support of the head dress, the almost the whole hair structure may collapse at any moment. The very real-to-large mirror in her bag came to the difficult solution. **Behold—A Tongue Scraper.** The little rake-edged instrument in a tongue scraper. It isn't just what its name implies—to scrape the tongue of the excess collection of saliva. It will come close enough, what with eyebrows, eyelash tweezers, ear cleaners, nasal-hair clippers, and the forks, without needing to make any further additions to the list. (Am I right) The wicked looking knife was used to clean the nails, which were long in cut. "Tweezers, mirror and every imaginable implement were among the impedimenta of the vanity case." The woman of the twentieth century awaits that he is not compelled to describe the pride of elaborate finery of a Louis Sixteenth. Estimate if you must how we would come to us in the case of mother of pearl encrusted with gold gilt, covered with tortoise shell again with stoppers of delicate pale emerald glass, with containers of enamel with garnitures of miniatures perfectly wrought. But the clever little case of white wood and Galuchat style could not be more practical and modern, being a lost art. Galuchat is the name of a man who, in the 18th century (under Louis XV), was a fine craftsman and dyed a brilliant green and used Galuchat, or shagreen, to decorate boxes. He created in Galuchat war like the natural scale pattern of the fish, and was able, like Galuchat, the nearest approach to his style, to make a most unique treatment of anything done in his style. **Luxury Brought Gallicias.** Before porcelain figures, similar to the one illustrated, were in use, gold and silver figures were used. An example of those produced for France's belles would be in a similar fashion. The lashes in bright; these lock the form of two hands. Rose and crimson is a most delicate ebony for design, among other precious things. The case is always seen swinging during the slippers, the whole being a miniature. There are the type of article so fascinating, there are some boxes, collected as shown in the walls. Other [illegible] and all in the collection of M. Fernand Javal. Other fashionable luxuries smelled the spirit of cleanliness and light in what gives comfort to the grotesque. So the smart woman is no such. Habit and Fashion will have their war and she will be more discreet and the present exhibit proves whether it be one or another. **SILENCER.** "She that is [illegible] [illegible] is seldom heard—" "That's right.

Dresser and street dresses will be exhibited together with wraps and suits that will illustrate the country's foremost firm of designers has produced these garments. A basic principle of all of their work is the manner in which these cloths are individuated to suit her personality. The special stock that the Printz designers feature is "personality-outlined styles," in lines that give the best pro-portions to the figure. **Suits.** Suits assume a special prominence this year by their decided newness of design and the quality of fabric which was always a necessity in the complete wardrobe, now perfectly combines utility and smart style. The three-piece suit is decidedly vogue this spring and because of its adaptability and usability the complete three piece suit including separate suits such as will be displayed by the Murphy-Softley models have an added [illegible]. [illustration: MODEL TWO.] The street dress shown to be at the Broadway. The street dress of spring is more tonic but this transitions is softened by an underlining of smartness. The skirts of such try to be as swanky as possible and to this [illustration: MODEL THREE.] feature in garments are designed to be put on and off like a coat. An elaborate collection of garments will be exhibited; of these two the afternoon dresses and the evening gown will doubtless be the most pleasing. The afternoon gown of uncommonly charming quality. The soft chiffon trimming adds an artistic touch and this is combined with the sort of versatility that befits its practical charm. "There is nothing forced about all of these latest suits and nothing forced." It is the keynote of everything, perhaps in the most distinguishing manner of expressing the newer than is contained in the Printz models. **THE SCENERY.** Bob—Joe hasn't any qualifications, has he? Beatrice—He hasn't any qualifications. Bob—Yes, indeed. It's a matter of scenery. Beatrice—What? Bob—Tea, indeed.

J., and his wife, Emily, seem to be playing the little game of "tit for tat" quite effectively. First the husband had his wife 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. New Jersey authorities have asked for her arrest. --- ## SIAM LAND OF PEACE [The article continues regarding Siam as a land of peace and conditions of labor, discussing working conditions compared to Western nations, with references to the Geneva bureau and labor conditions] Siam is mentioned as a notable feature of life in Europe and America, and strike and complaint at seventy miles an hour, complaints at seventy miles—but in Siam there is no downgraded wages, no arrangement by the gorgeous, and the silence of the labor movement is as the voice of silence. At least such is the impressive communication recently received in Geneva from the Siamese foreign minister by several organizations under the auspices of the nations in Geneva. It appears that an organization was conducting a survey of labor laws and asking governments were requested to join in improving conditions of workers, and especially women and children. When these requests reached Bangkok, King Hama VI ordered his ministers to examine into the records of labor conditions of his country. This was done, and in a lengthy memorandum addressed to the labor bureau, the Geneva bureau was informed that, although the King greatly from the ideal shown by the western world in the labor situation, the people of Siam are happily living in great peace and happiness, thanks to general prosperity of living wages, no unemployment and to the beneficial results derived from the wisdom of this memorandum on [illegible]. "The importance of industrial organization," writes the minister, "in progressive legislation for Siam, being premature in a country that is still not yet become industrialized. In addition to these, there really is no hardship in other places, most of the inhabitants of Siam have not yet descended to a commercial basis of life." "The standard of living among workers in Siam differs greatly from the ideal in which workmen in western countries have been seeking to improve. Conditions are, particularly in the interior of the kingdom, still simple and the laboring masses have not yet formulated any demands for a material change in their working conditions. To see accustomed to the unrest of workmen in western countries on the one hand, so that workmen in Siam are not in a place to arrange a union or satisfied with the conditions of employment, having little wish, it appears, to be organized, and that no demands for change have been yet made by them. "There are no trade unions or regulations for work people. The result is co-operation rather than struggle in industrial relations," reports the minister of the Siamese government to Geneva. These favorable conditions are due to the contentment and happiness of the country, and the government has not yet deemed it necessary to pass production of proposals which, as they stand, before the needs of the Siamese people, might only disturb the conditions that exist without advantage. --- ## PRESS WIFE FROM FITS ### She is Restored to Health and Husband by Dr. Fred E. Grant's Remarkable Specific, St. Treasurer. Mrs. W. M. Bobbitt, West Durham, N.C., whose portrait appears is a victim of epilepsy and whose case is regarded as one of the most remarkable recoveries ever made without a single attack after her recovery over eighteen months ago. Mrs. Bobbitt attributes her wife's present health entirely to a specific treatment recommended by Dr. Fred E. Grant, one of its specialist. Mrs. Bobbitt was subject to epileptic relief anywhere until she used Dr. Grant's famous treatment. Dr. Grant's home treatment is regarded by hundreds of former sufferers as the one specific that always succeeds. "You are free to write him if treatment is without cost. Just write the Dr. Fred E.
