"Is the gentleman who knows every
thing in?'5 hammered . vis,on Of golden
hair and eco blue eyes, as she stood tim
idly beside the managing editors desk,
yesterday afternoon.
Everything about WHAT" asked the
editor, c1awing around under the desk
for hie shoes, and trying to hide bis
stocking feet under him. "Upon which
particular branch do you seek informa.
tion?''
II don't know exactly what to do,"
pouted the strawberry lips. "Pa says
can only have one dress tins spring, and
I dan't know how to make 1t up. l
Thought the gentleman who answers
questions could tell me-"
"H'm!" muttered the managing etli-
tor. HE has gone down to Maine to
lind out why geese always walk in sim
gle file. An Anxious Inquirer wants
to know. What kind of dress had
yeu ought Of getting?"
''That's what want to know. l
want something that will look we'll
with terra Gotta gloves"
"Yes, yes" murmured the editor.
'::Then you should get one of those green
things with beads that turns all sorts Of
c0lors, and some fringe and tixings Of
that kind"
"Would YOU cut It Princess or wear it
with polonaise:" she inquired, looking
at him inquiringly.
"You-you might have it Princess
around the neck, and row Of polo
naise around the BOTTOM" suggested
the editor. "That's going to bc very
fashionable, and couple of hip pock-
cts would set it off royalty"
II don't know" mur1n,lred the beau
ty. II haven't seen any Of that style.
Do you know whether panniers are
worn bouffant this season or whether
the skirt il worn tight?"
"Ch, Certainly" replied the editor.
"They are made with all the bouffants
YOU can get on them. some have six
teen-buttOn bOuffants, and there was a
lady in here yesterday who had q pam
nier that came close up to her neck. /
should have it pretty boufiant If it was
my dress.''
"WelI," stammered the blushing bios
som, "would you box plait the skirt or
s'shir it, by all means!'' exclaimed
the editor. ''Shir it straight up and
down, and tastcn it with those loops Of
black tape"
"You mean frogs::" asked the beauty.
mo, no. Those big loops that slip
over two buttons. That sets off the
shirs, aud gives sort of q tout TO the
ensemble" and the editor leaned hack
and smiled superior.
Don't you think revevs OF . lighter
shade would look pretty?" she inquired.
''They will do to fix up the back, but
woulkn't put them on the 'front.'"
answered the editor sagely. "Revers
are very well to trim hat with, but
they don't set off dress 'front.'"
''1Iow would you have the c0rsage:'
II wouldn't have any ut all. You
would look better without one."
''Sir!" she exclaimed, rising.
"Oh, If you insist, you might have y
small one; certainly not over three
inches long, for short dresses are the
style now"
-" she commenced.
"Oh, don't?' he retorted. That's
what / am here for. think there Is

wear It at home. They are hard to
handle, and not one woman in . hum
dred can kick Ler corsage gracefully"
"I-I am very much abliged to you,'"
she murmured. "You are very good,
I'm sure."
"Don't mention it." replied the eli-
tor politely, "Ithink when you get It
shirred and reveSed, and polonatsed.
and Princessed, you'll like 1t very
much. You might get sash and some
big buttons tc put on behind, orif you'd
like another style better, you might
trim the whole with bouhants, and
wear the pannier for hat"
s'Oh, thank you, sir" exclaimed the
blushing bud, a. she scutted down the
stairs. :.

tor, with . co,nplacent smile and glance
Of approval 1T himself in the glass.
