A Discussion on the Fashions.

els, the gentleman who knows
everything, in ?" stammered a
vision Of golden hair and sea blue
eyes, as she stood timidly beside the
managing editors desk yesterday
afternoon.
Everything about what ?" asked
the editor, clawing around under his
desk for his shoes and trying to hide
his stocking feet under him. Cup
on which particular branch do you
seek information 2"
81 don't know exactly what to
do" pouted the strawberry lips.
Pa says can only have one dress
this spring, and don't know how
to make it up. thought the gentle
man who answers questions could
tell me-"
"Hm !" muttered the managing
editor. "He has gone up in Maine
to find out why geese always walk in
single file. An Anxious Inquirer
wants to know. What kind of a
dress had you thought of getting ?"
"That's what l want to know. l
want something that will look well
with terra Gotta gloves"
Eyes, yes" murmured the editor.
"Then you should get one of these
green things with beads that turn all
kinds of colors and some fringe and
fixings of that kind"
"Would you have it cut princess
or wear it with polonaise ?" she
inquired, looking at him searchingly.
You-you might have it princess
around the neck and row of polo
naises at the BOTTOM suggested
the editor; that's going to be very
fashionable, and couple of hip
pockets would set it off royalty"
81 don't know" murmured the
beauty. 81 haven't seen any of that
style. Do you know whether painters
are worn bouffant this season, or
whether the skirt is tightp"
ooh, certainly!' replied the edi-
tor. "They are made with all the
bouffants you can get on 'em. Some
have even sixteen button bouffants,
and there was lady in here yester.
day who had a pannier that came
clean up to her neck. l should have
it pretty bouffant if it was my dress"
'Well, would you box plat the
skirt or shirr it?"
"Shirr it, by all meansl" exclaim-
ed the editor, "shirr it straight up
and down, and fasten it with these
loops of black tape"
"You mean frog?" asked the
beauty.
"No, no. These big loops that
slip over two buttons. That sets off
the shirrs and gives sort of tout to
the ensemble" and the editor leaned
back and smiled superior.
"Don'tyou think revers of a lighter
shade would look pretty?" she in
quired.
They'll do to fix up the back,
but / wouldn't put 'em on the
'front.'" answered the editor sagely.
"Revers are all very well to trim a
hat with, but they don't set off a
dress 'front.'"
"How would you have the cor
sage2"
81 wouldn't have any at all. You
would look much better without
one."
"Sir!" she exclaimed, rising.
ooh, if you insist, you might have
a small one, not over three inches
long, for short dresses are the style
now"
You-you don't seem to under
stand" she commenced.
"Oh, don't l." he retorted
Z" that's what I'm here for. l think
there's nothing so lamcntable as to
see young lady dragging her cor
sage through the mud and dust.
Still, if you want one, you should
have it SO you can take it off when
you go on the street and only wear
it at home. They are hard to han
die, and not one woman in hun
