HOBBLE SKIR TA GEO
:ashion Was Prevalent at Least
1,000 B. C.
i the Time of Ptolemy and Cleopatra
Egyptian Women Hopped Along
Nile In Garb Worn by
Smart Set.
Chicago. Has someone remarked
that the "hobble skirt" Is flu de siecle
up to date, the very apogee of mod
ern feminine sartorial folly?
Well, it is not merely redivivlus of
a fashion prevalent at least 1000 years
P.. C. This startling information will
come as somewhat of a shock to the
clothing designers of tho day who
prided themselves that they had ere
ated something, originated something,
or at least been responsible for the
renaissance of a style not more than
three or four'hundred years old.
Over 2,900 years ago the dusky mai
dens of the now defunct city of Thebek
hopped along merrily In their hobble
nklrts.
Somewhat later in the time of Ptol
emy and Cleopatra the favored of
Pharaoh's daughters, that is, the better
classes of Egyptian women, tripped
along the banks of the slimy, sluggish
Nile, and a few of them probably fell
in.
The ancient hieroglyphics upon the
obelisks, sarcophagi and pyramids of
the earth'B once most powerful race
show conclusively that women who
have now been mummies for fully a
score of centuries wore the much ridi
culed and secretly admired "hobbles."
Evidences of this vagary of dress
among the ancient Egyptians may be
seen In the picture writings on the
granite and basalt tablets and upon
the highly colored mummy cases that
are preserved in the Field Columbian
museum.
Tho "hobbles" seem to have been
confined (as well as confining) prlncl
pr.lly to the upper strata of the society
of the day, yet examples of a partial
"hobble effect" are to be seen In the
chronicllngs of the middle classes.
DJe-Mut-Esankh, a lady of high rank
in Thebes, 1000 B. C, whose mummy
case, if not whose mummy, forms a
portion of the Egyptian archeologlcal
exhibit In the museum, wore the "ties
that bind" at the earliest known date.
She wns the daughter of a family of
nc-Me priests nnd served In temples,
herself as a musician to the great god.
Amnion. DJe-Mut-Esankh, translated,
means "Musician of Amnion."
Her hobble made her famous and
ired. It was a wonderful nsp of
gold, studded with rubles nnd other
gt ins. nnd was attached to her gown
at the proper place by means of clasps.
Princesses are said to have been en
vious of her.
NalaRamos, of the XXVIIth dynas

went her predecessor one better, and
wore 'em Just above her knees, Judging
from the pictures of the lady that are
extent today. Hut Egyptian art and
artists were somewhat uncertain, how
ever, and It is possible that the bronze
lined man who carved her picture for
the edification of posterity may have
mode a mistake.

AROUSE INTEREST IN GAELIC
Two Off clals Arrive From Ireland to
Pursue Nine Months Campaign
In United States.
New York. Flonan MacColum and
:ev. Michael O'Flanagan, official en

Ireland to America to arouse Interest
in tho revival of the old Gaelic lan
guage und literature, have opened
hendquarters In New York and are
preparing an active propaganda.
The two delegates will remain in
this country for about nine months,
and will visit all the principal Irish
centers. In each city mass meetings
will be held and branch societies for
carrying on the work of the league
will be organized.
There la no connection between the
Gaelic league und any of the political

The discovery that the Egyptians wore
the "hobbles" is corroborated by
Egyptologists.
"Yes, it Is true that the style was In
vogue, many years before Christ," said
W. Chesney Chenery, an authority on
archeology, living ut Hull house. "It
only bears out the trite old saying,
'there Is nothing new, etc., etc' "
"They certainly did wear tight skirts
in those days." admitted Prof. James
11. Piieasted. Egyptologist at the Uni
versity of Chicago.
The custom gained such hold by the
Egyptian race that they hobbled their
dead by swathing them In bandages.
The ladles whose pictures show the

hobbled even In death.
"Mummy" coats and "tube" dresses
