els the gentleman that knows every
thing in?" stammered vision of gold
en- hair and sea-blue eyes, as she stood
timidly beside the managing editors
desk.
Everything about what?" asked the
editor, clawing around under his desk
for his shoes and trying to hide his
stocking feet under him. "Upon what
particular branch do you seek informa-
tion?"

thought the gentleman who answers
questions could tell me-"
"H'ml" muttered the managing ed
itor, che has gone up to Maine to find
out why geese always walk in single file.
An Anxious Inquirer wants to know.
What kind of dress had you thought
of getting?"
"That's what want to know. Iwant
something that would look well with

eyes, yes," murmured the editor.
"Then you should get one of those
green things with beads that turn all
kinds of colors, and some fringe and
filings 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 Tow of polonaises
at the BOTTOM" suggested the editor.
"That's going to be very fashionable,
and couple of hip pockets would set il
off royalty"
"I don't know," murmured the
beauty. "I haven't seen any of that
style. Do you know whether panniers
are worn bouffant this season, or
whether the skirt is tight ?"
"Oh, certainly 4" replied the editor.
"They are made with all the boufants
you can gel on 'em. Some have even
sixteen-button boufants, and there was
lady in here yesterday who had pan
nier that came clean up to her neck. I
should have it pretty bouffant if it was
my dress"
"Well, "stammered the blushing bios
som, "would you box plat the skirt or
shirr it?"
"Shirr it, by all means 3" exclaimed
the editor. "Shirr it straight up and
down, and fasten it with these loops of
black tape"
"You mean frogs?" 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 en-
semble," and the editor leaned back and
smiled superior.
"Don't you think revers of lighter
shade would look pretty?'', she in
quired.
"They'l do to fix up the back, but !
wouldn't put 'em on the 'front.'" an
swered the editor, Isagely. "Revers are
very well to trim a hat with, but they
don't set off dress 'front.'"
"How would you have the corsage y
81 wouldn't have any at all. You
would look much better without one"
"Sir p she exclaimed, rising.
"Oh, if you insist, you might have
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, don't I?" he retorted. eThat's
what I'm here for. I think there's
nothing so lamentable as to see young
lady dragging her corsage 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
handle, and not one woman in hundred
can kick her corsage gracefully"
Ell am very much obliged to you,"
she murmured. "You are very good,
I'm SIRE"
