"There are many different ways for a
womsn to make noise in the world, with
IN. being conspicuous; the most subtle and
Ealing way is by the rustic Of her skirts.n
"skirts rustic anyway, don't theyl with
ant any forethought on the part Of the
wearer."
aNo. indeed, they doa't. There Is as
much art spent upon the swish of dainty
skirt now as upon the tone of the voice.
II must be musical The inside OF all un.
dsrskirts must be silk or crepe and with a
little stiff ruche on the outside skirt fun
Hing up against the silk on the inside, a de-

Two women were talking between the
acts at the theater.

Int dear me, its perfectly charming. the
quaint, cunning little sachet bags, they are
saving ID round the bottom of skirts.
Every dress has It's own particular scent,
and at each step a sweet odor floats OUT
"Well, declare, that is an idea even
neyer than the rustic"
Inst then the curtain went up and sll the
ideas Of dressmakers and fads were for-
gotten in contemplation of the leading lady
weeping tears Of blood over the loss OF her
sweetheart.
A delegation of women from the head
quarters of the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals Society. Of Twenty-third street,
called upon the principal milliners in New
York city, and plead and reasoned and
argued with them to set the spring milli-
merry styles minus either birds or wings.
1t is reported automatically that the mil
ilners have agreed to give the new move
ment trial, and in body they will en-
deayor to thrust an avalanche OF artificial
buds and blossoms upon the female buyers.
Iheard a very good story about one of
the members Of the Prevention of Cruelty

A clever western woman came to the me-
tropolis few weeks ago and startled the
communttyby an announcement of "Lect-
ures on Shopping, )" to be delivered by her
self at one of the big amusement halls. AT
first the idea was laughed at, but neverthe-
less tickets were sold plentifully and now
the lecturer has been engaged throughout
different parts Of the city in private houses
and public halls, to deliver a series of lect-
ures upon the same subject.
There really is necessity for women to
be lectured on the art of shopping, the
large stores having instituted the bargain
plan, palming off oceans of cheap, shop
worn material on innocent money spenders.
and any individual who can teach women
how to purchase silks, satins, household be-
longings and children's wearing apparel SO
that the purchaser will not be cheated should
be supported handsomely.

finishes off the edge, and cord and tassel
serves as neck fastener.
