The skirt is a deep bag gathered into
two bands and is put on under the long
petticoat and dress skirt. When the
first band is secured. the extra length is
gathered up over the gown and fastened
again at the waist outside. The upper
part Of the cloak is the same as any
stylish macintosh. with cape and collar.

Ii is not often that women adopt a
fashion which is so plainly awkward and
unattractive as to call out adverse com
ments from men, but the new covert
coats which have lately appeared on the
streets have had this effect. They are
made precisely like mems coats. and not
fitted TO the waist at all. and they sag
out behind the wearer in fashion that
is most grotesque. They are buttoned
straight down in front, and the women
look very much like the characters of
dudes exploited by the comic papers.
They are nearly always worn with over
CATERS. or what are commonly known
rs spats. \ woman dressed in this fash
ion is about as ugly an object as the
masculine eye can encounter in New

The Girl, Latest Fad.

The girls have new fad now. It is
called the photographic plaque" Like
all fads, it has swept the homes Of the
young women like wildfire, and has oc-
casioned no end Of sharp comment by
members Of the sterner sex who have
been mulcted of dimes.
The photographic plaque" Is an in
genious device of a china firing concern,
and its purpose is financial gain for this
establishment Pieces of cardboard 10
by 10 inches in size are distributed
where they are likely TO meet with
favorable reception. These pieces
Of card contain circle in the center-a
reserved space large enough for a repro
duced photograph. From the circum-
ference of this circle extend lines to q
larger circle. like spokes in a wheel from
the hub to the tire. The spaces between
these lines are for autographs.
There are fifty such spaces, and it has
been declared the proper thing for a
girl to get the autographs of fifty Of her
male friends written within them. An
unwritten law in this fad DEGREES that
each autograph writer must produce a
dime with his signature. When all the
spaces are full and each name paid for
the girl has five dollars, and this five
dollars. if sent to a certain place with
the card and photograph Of the owner,
will secure china plaque with the
picture and autographs reproduced and
fired.
1t is a great scheme for the girls who
have little or nothing to do, and sigma
lures are greatly in and.-ChicagC

Height of Man In the Year 1000

De Moreal, the French statisti-
clan, has been figuring on the
gradual dimination OF height in the
human family, with astonishing
results. He finds that in the year
l6lo the average height of man was
LIS meters, or about feet inches.
In 1870 il was feet inches; in
1920, feet inches. At the pres.
ent time it is but feet 81 inches.
From these figures it is easy to de.
duce the rate of regular and
gradual decline in human stature.
Figuring both ways from the present
we find thai the height Of man
sin the beginning" was l6 feet
9 inches, and that the average man
of the year 4oo0 A. ID. will be les,
than II inches high, Exchange.
