she stood timidly beside the manag-
ing editors desk yesterday after
noon.
everything about what ?" asked
the editor, clawing around under
the desk for his shoes, and trying to
hide his stocking feet under him.
"Upon which particular branch do
YOU seek information ?"
81 don't know exactly what to do, :"
pouted the strawberry lips. PA says
II can only have one dress this
spring, and l don't know how to
make it up. thought the gentle
man who answers questions could
| tell me-"
"H'mw muttered the managing
editor. "He has gone down to Maine
to fad out why geese walk in single
lille. An Anxious Inquirer wants
| to know. What kind of a dress had
YOU thought of getting?"
That's what | want to know. I
want something that will look well
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 colOls, and some fringe
and fixings of that kind"
would you cut it princess or
wear it with a pOlonaise?" she in
CURED, 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 be very
fashionable, and a 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 pam
nIers are worn bouffant this season
or whether the skirt is worn tight ."
ooh, certainly" replied the editor.
"They are made with all the
bouffants you can get on them.
Some have siXteen-buttOn bouffants,
and there was lady in here yester-
day who had pannier that came
close up to her neck. l should have
it pretty bOuffant if it was my
dress"
"Well," stammered the blushing
blossom, would you box plat the
skirt or shir IT."
"Shir it, by all means!' exclaimed
the editor. "Shir it straight up and
down, and fasten it with those loops
of black tape"
"You mean frogs asked the
beauty.
"No, no. Those big loops that
slip over two buttons. That sets off
the shirs, and gives sort of tout
to the ensemble" and the editor
leaned back and smiled superior.
Don't you think levers Of a
lighter shade would look pretty
she inquired.
They will do to fix up the back,
but | wouldn't put them on the
front" answered the editor sagely.
Brewers are very we'll to trim hat
with, but they don't set off a dress
front"
How would you have the cor
sage?'
would look better without one"
"Sir," she exclaimed, rising.
"Oh. if you insist, you might have
a small one; certainly not over three
inches long, for short dresses are the
style now"
"You-yOu don't seem to under-
stand" she commenced.
ooh. l don't?" he retOrtej. |
F'That's what | am here for think |
there is nothing so lamentable as to
see a lady dragging her cOrSage
through the mud and dust. Still, if
you want one, you should have 80 |
you can take it off when you go on |
the street, and only wear it at home.
They are hard to handle, and not |
one woman in a hundred can kick
her cOrsage gracefully"
81 am very much obliged to |
you" she murmured. "YOu are very
good, I'm sure"
"Don't mention it," replied the
editor politely, Il think when you
get it shirred and revered, and pol
OpalSed, ana prlnceSSed, you IL Ike
it very much. You might get
sash and some big buttons to put on
behind, or if you'd like another
style better, you might trim the
wEOle with bOuffants, and wear the
pannier for hat"
"Oh, thank you, sir, exclaimed
the blusning bud, as she scattered
down the stairs.
"Swipes" roared the managing
editor, with complacent smile and
glance of approval at himself il the
glass. "Swipes, you may tell the
foreman to send me up proof OF
the Fashion Notes as soon as they
come in. l have observed that a
great many errors have crept IN
