(Copyright. 1928 Women Outclassed. COMMENTING in Popular Science on the report that the brain of Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, civil service | commissioner, presented evidence that | the brain of a woman was not inferior to that of a man, Prescott Lecky of the Columbia University psychology dspart- | ment says: “The once accredited practice of reading a person’s mental ability by the size and shape of his head or, after death, by examination of the dead | brain tissues, has passed into the limbo | science’s discards. Intellectual | achievement is the only practical meas- | ure of mental power. Let's see how | women have compared with men in actual performance. “Dr. J. McKeen Cattzll, formerly pro- fessor:of psychology at Columbia Uni- versity, made a careful study of the housend most noted individuals, the geniuses of the world's history. He found that only 31 wecre women. In| other words, the proportion of great | women to great men has been in the | ratio of 1 to 31. And of the 31 women., | Dr. Cattell found 11 were heraditary | sovereigns and 8 became eminent through misfortunes, beauty or other accidental circumstances. Ten gained fame in literature—'the only depart- ment in which women have accom- plished much'—as compared with 72 men-in that field. The two remaining women were Sappho, the ancient Greek poetess, of whose work we know almost nothing, and Joan of Arc, sainted hero- ine of France. “In short, all the records point to the inevitable conclusion that women have failed to measure up to men in practically every field for which stati: On the whole, wol en in mental makeup are more tl imitators and followers, men the origi- nators and creators Coats Fashion Plays With Idea of Hoop Skirt It was 400 years ago that the hoop- skirt came into existence—in 1530, to be exact. This was the period when Fran- cis T and later Henry II were tulers of France and when feminine honors of court life were divided between Mme. d’Etampes, Diane de Poitiers and Cath- erine de Medicl. It was one of the most brilliant peri- ods in French history—and women played a role in society such as th~y had never known before. The hoopskirt was one of th» eccen- tricities of fashion of the day, and though it went out of fashion some time later it reappeared several times there- after in one form or another. In the second half of the eighteenth century the hoopskirt attained enormous pro- portions, as may be seen from portraits of Marie Antoinette and the various favorites who reigned before the French Revolution. Our own Martha Washing- ton and her cotemporaries wore hoops only a little less extreme. Then with the French Revolution and the coming of the directoire and empire fashions the hoop went out, only to re- appear with the more settled times that came in the middle of the last century. Again fashion is playing with the idea »f bouffant skirts, In some of the period frocks shown by the French dressmakers for evening wear there s stiffening to hold out the fullness of the skirts. One wonders whether within the next gen- eration or so the hoop will again be part of the accepted mode for women. Women Who Have Sense of Fabric Some women much more than others have what m'ght be called a sense of fabric. In the temperamental equip- ment of the successful dressmaker it is_quite as important as a sense of color. As any dressmaker might tell you, a surprisingly large number of women are singularly lacking in this fabric sense, and if left to their own devices wouid order frocks that ought to be made of chiffon made in satin, and others that call for satin or faille reproduced in_georgette or crepe de chine. To the woman who has this fabric sense every material possesses not only color. tone, design and surface texture but a certain characteristic behavior as well. No two types of fabrics behave precisely alike and cannot therefore lend themselves successfully to pre- cisely the same sorts of wraps or frocks. Then, too, different varieties of the same types of material act differently in | *he hands of designers and dressmakers.

You'd never have thought that he could be so unreasonable. But he is always throwing obstacles in the way of my eight-hour day. Our new curtains simply had to be hemmed,-and I haven't any sewing machine. . One day a girl friend dropped in ior tea. I was showing her my new cur- me. That gave me an idea.

The third, fourth end fifth guests all came empty- handed, and the sixth put aside her own crocheting to help in the hemming.
