EPORTS from Albany that Gov. Dix intends to | stand firmly by his plan for forcing a thor ough investigation of the State Banking Depart: | ment are gratifying. Hardly any intelligent man can doubt euch an investigation is needed. The number of scandals connected with the manage ment of the department has bécome too numeroua, and some of them are too ugly, to be longer tolerated. The Governor must by this time have become convinced that | he can serve his party better by serving the State faithfully than | by serving Tammany, Wall street and all the big financial interests combined. Nor is it likely there will ever be a more advantageous opportunity for self-assertion in the interests of the public than is «forded in this c The situation is both interesting and important. The issue is Jarge and affects the general welfare. If the Governor has the firm- ~ bess and the tact to make a winning fight on it the approval of the > people will more than offset the hostility of those whose schemes | anay be blocked by disclosures. | ———_ + ¢- | , PROFESSIONAL ETHICS. N eminent authority on old books and bindings has avowed « conviction that two of the books told at the Hoe sale last week are spurious. When asked why he had not made the charge before the sale, he answered: “It is not ethical in our business to eay anything about a sale pub PARADE 9 OF THE MEN IN THE SurFRaqisT Parade > ‘NO USE-IF «INSIST WILL BEAT ME SuFrraqist PARADE | IGHT as a falling cherry blossom and unsuspected as a sudterranean IL pring, a rumor has drifted to New York from London which may, Tevolutionize the world of women. 5 They are holding a clothes exhibit just now In the British city which {s, always under a cloud, and according to the despatches which have reached New York, the affair marke the funeral of the harem skirt. “It {s dead—doad as a door nail, and the eooner it ts buried the betq- ter,” sald one exhibitor. 4 And then in hushed tones proper to the {mpending obsequies he added: “A new fashion just the opposite of the present one may be coming ands slimness may be no longer necessary.” Of course, before the mountains skip like rams and the little women s BS licly until the gale is over.

It is wrong to decry a book in the hands of a fellow dealer, but when once he has sold it and got the money, then it is permissible to mock at the buyer. It is much the same in all professions, Thomas De Quincy cites an instance of a physician in London who stated that professional ethics would require him to let @ patient dic rather than to call fm’ quack to help cure him. And lawyers and theologians are not much better. In fact, a happy delicacy of conventional morals ex- with a neat felicity of phrase enables us to pass off in pro- nal ethics many a devious turn that in absolute ethics would ave to be bluntly described as conniving at fraud. ——-+->+_______ GRADUATES AND GOWNS. ITH the approach of the commencement season in the colleges there comes the annual flutter and splutter among women as to how the sweet girl graduates shall wear their hair and wherewithal they shall clothe themselves.

One has only to look at the pictures of Marte Antoinette and the Empreas Josephine to realize how much woman owes to the French Revolution. From her powdered hair to her eight-inch heels Marie Antoinette’s costume expressed everything that was frivolous, artificial and decadent, And the Revo lution would have been justified if it had brought no other reform than emanct pation of woman from the boarded bodice and her return to the free waist and gracious draperies of Greece in the modes of the Directory and the Empire ‘The fashions of 180 brought sloping shoulders and sloppy timentality. Later came the hoop skirt, and much later the bustle And nothing shows more clearly the mental advance of the women of to-day than the fullure which meets any effort to revive those vulgar atrocities, in that rumor trom London, may venture reluctantly to let our clothes tell the truth about our figures.
