Stifiy SEARCHED skirts.

A swell dressmaker confessed recent
ly that the reason why some Of the far
ing skirts hung out around the bottom
with such a graceful flare was because
of a flexible steel a quarter of an inch
in width which runs through the hem.
Some of the latest silk petticoats have
two of these wires run through the
folds. n at the hem and another d few
inches above. Evening skirts are now
made with heavy founces stlffly starch
ed in the old fashion, and more than
n skirt is worn. Some of the new
white starched skirts have three over
tapping founces reaching from the belt
to the hem in the back, and one full
hounce extending all the way around
the skirt to the knees. All these founces
are stifened, but not to the point Of
rafting, and help to hold out the light
skirts of the evening gown. Indeed it
is claimed that the starched white skirt
for daytime wear will soon take the
place of the silk petticoats that have
been popular during the past few years.
because those colored skirts have been
copied in cheap material, and besides
there is something in the freshness of a
starched skirt dainty ard luyurious.-

White Stockings.

Next to the threatened return of the
crinoline, the revival which is making
the most sensation in fashionable circles
is the return of white stockings. For
months past there have been various
prophecies and not a few
ments of the coming of this revival.
But for various reasons, and possibly
the good sense of women, with the ex-
ira expense of white stockings, which
must be changed more frequently than
colored ones, the coming has been post
poned. Dark hosiery has had a long
span of life, and a remarkable one,
when it is remembered that in former
times only servants wore colOred stock
iugs. It was not until the end of the
last century that a lady Of fashion en-
deavored to introduce black stockings
into vogue, and she did not succeed.
Even nov there are many dainty and
elegant ladies in France who wear
colored stockings, but leave them to their
servants. Without doubt black and
colored stockings Will be worn for walk
ing out of doors all through the winter
months, but by next sum1ne those near
the throne that white stock
ings will be universally worn where
money is nc object and laundry bills
are beneath Observation-Disclosures

gather the skirt to this. Rip of all
superhuous trimming. arrange the neck
surplice fashion with a bit Of lace or
embroidery bastedysl, and you will have
a neat dress. Another WAY is TO gather
a full width to the back of the basque,
cut the front yoke fashion and make a
full loose front which can BE confined
by a ribbon. With most made overs
this will require pieciug. hut If done
neal the waistline the rihEon will CON
ceal 1t. A rufiie of different material
will seem to lengthen the skirt. Both
these can be worn without corscts. and
are very easy if there is any fullness in
the skirt.
When a basque has done good serv-
ice, Zip it apart and make an under
waist out of the lining. This will serve
to keep the underclothes clean while
doing homework. The lining Of skirts
can be utilized by making into aprons.
They are n great saving, as they are
easily washed, require no s%tarching and
not much ironing. Stockings that are
past repair can be roughly sewed to-
gether and make acceptable scrub
cloths. If you cannot use things your
self, do not keep them TO look at. but
give them to some one less fortuuate.-

Riding Man Fashion.

The popularity of bicycle riding
among women has made it more posi-
BILE for women to accept the idea of rid
ing e cavalier, an idea which is being
put in actual practice in the west. In
other words. cross saddle riding with
divided skirts has gained a certain
amount of recognition in a number of
localities. 1t has been found that la
dies look well, ride more safely and get
better exercise in the new way. The
practice of side saddle riding is attrib-
uted to the vagary of a queen who was
too deforlned to use the cross saddle.
There has been a vague idea that any
other method would be injurious. AS a
matter of fact, the practice of using the
side saddle has been adopted because it
adapts itself to modern dress, and be-
cause without a special dress no other
method would be suitable. But cross
saddle riding is the safer way, it per-
mits of a better and freer use of the
limbs and makes the exercise more ef-
fect1ve. All this will not make women
adopt it. however. A large number of
lady riders take the exercise to avoid
the unpleasant effects of too much fat.
Side saddle riding does not make fat
women thin, however, but if anything
enlarges the hips. Cross saddle riding
is more effective, because n wider range
of muscles can be used and harder rid

Now He APPRECIATES 1t.

On a recent afternoon a young plan
list, who is considered a musical genius
by his friends, was introduced to a
handsome woman by n of the teach
ers at Steinway hall. The teacher had to
leave the room for a time, and the lady
asked her new acquaintance if he would
not play something for her. The young
man sat down at the piano and played
several pieces. The lady listened with
a critical air, and when he had con-
cluded. thanked him very heartily.
Now" she added, won't you please
play something of your own compost

He complied, rendering a pretty song
which he had composed not long be-
fore. The lady expressed herself very
much pleased again, and said:
IF you will transpose that, | will
sing it at my song recital in Boston,
The young man bowed politely, but,
being unwilling to commit himself to
a comparative stranger, said nothing.

to transact with him, and the pianist
was relieved. When she turned to
leave. she shook hands with him heart

ton at having heard him play. When
she was gone, the pianist turned to his
friend and asked carelessly:

A Sheer Resented.

What the writer evidently consider
ed a Touchdown argument was publish
ed lately at the expense of women vot-
ing when. as was sneeringly asserted,
more than girl had been questioned
as to the term of Office of a member of
the legislature, for instance, and could
not tell how long it lasted. The au-
thor of this singing satire seemed to
forget that there are women and women
as we'll as men and men. Moreover, 1t
is not so very strange that a question
which does not bear upon them, while
they are not voters, should be pushed
aside by other matters that do come in
contact with their daily lives.
One woman who has, from lifelong
connection with a newspaper Office. be-
come pretty well acquainted with poll
tics. is astonished. on her part, by the
profound ignorance of the average man.
Yet she does not. On that account, be-

WOMAN'S WORLD.
FEMALE SUFFRAGE AS VIEWED BY
SOME NOTED CANADIAN DANES.

Row He Appreciates It-A Sheer Resented.
Practical Hints In Economy-Riding
Man Fashion-white Stockings-Stimy
starched Skirts.
1t is instructive to read the objec-
tions to female suffrage made by Cana
dian woine in our esteemed contempt
rary. The Coin du Ecu of Montreal, for
the reason that they are just the kind
of objections to it that used to be made
in this country 90 OF 80 years ago.
Nine. Chaplain says that women ought
to reign in the home, while men ought
to attend to the government. Nine.
Marchand says that women have not
the opportunity of studying complicated
political questions, and SO must seek to
gain an influence like that of the women
of the gospels. Nine. Desjardins has
no other ambition than the happiness
of her family, and willingly leaves the
franchise to her husband. Mime. Dan
durand believes that women are most
free when the public business is trans
acted by men. Miss Cowan does not
desire that women shall have the privi-
lege Of voting, as even men abuse that
privilege. Other Canadians who We're
interviewed on the subject by The Coin
du Ecu said that women should keep
away from the noise Of politics, and
that the family circle should be saved
from political pollution, and that wom-
anly virtues would be lowered in poll
tics. and that the ideal of womanhood
is apart from politics, and that women
ought to be content with their lot as
the angels Of the home. Lady Aber-
deem said that lin her capacity as wife
of the governor general of Canada" she
preferred to refrain from expressing any
opinion on the question.
Yes, these Canadian objections to
woman suffrage are just like the Amer
lean objections to it that used to be
urged years ago. All of them are very
familiar to everybody in this country
who has taken any interest in the de-
bate on the subject. Yet the cause of
woman suffrage has advanced in many
of the states and has gained a COM
plete victory in at least two of the pro-
gressive states of the Astounding west.
We are not aware that womanhood has
ceased to flourish on account of that
success.-New York Sun.

French Silt Walkers.

The majority of the people in the
western portion of the French province
of Gascony walk on stills. That is a
district known as the Landes, with a
sea line bounding the French side of
the bay CT Biscay and extending at its
greatest breadth about 60 miles back
into the country. The Landes form one
of the widest and strangest parts of
France, and the inhabitants are fully
as strange and uncultivated as the black
pine forests, the dreary swamps and
the far spreading deserts of fine white
sand which they inhabit. Most of them
are shepherds, and they elevate them
selves on stills five feet high in order to
be above the marshes and the sand
blasts. These silt walkers present
strange and uncouth figures as they pro-
gress oyer the wilderness of country in
attendance on their 1ocks. sometimes
at the rate of six or seven miles an hour.
They rest by the aid of a third wooden
support, pursuing meanwhile their ever
lasting occupation of knitting.
In appearance the Landes shepherd
looks like an uncouth mass of dirty
wool. On his body he wears a fleece
like a rude paletot; his thighs and legs
on the outside are protected by greaves
of the same material and his feet in
cased in sabots and coarse wooden socks.
In some parts of Malaysia the natives
walk almost habitually on stills. Ma
ture and necessity have brought about
this result, as excessive foundations of
river and sea often submerge the whole
surface of the land in many places.

Ever and anon crops up in print the
question of women smoking. London

that in continental Europe, although

served at intimate ~deleuners and small

that that highly respectable and re-
spected royal lady is an inveterute AND

Frenchified Bills Of Fare.

In winter as we'll as in summer the
proprietors of restaurants and hotels put
upon their bills of fare names which con-
vey no idea of the delicious dishes or dain-
ty delicacies and willfully pervert the
language of the two countries into mean
ingless phrases.
Ask them why the habit is condoned,
and a variety of answers are given, but
the gst Of them all is that the American
public likes to be humbugged.
Said one innkeeper: do you suppose I
could get Is cents for a dish of Irish pota-
toes if on my card printed the name in
that plain way? No indeed. l put it
down as 'Pomme de terre Irlandaise, and

Wealth Accommodating Occupations.

Inquiry has been made into the relative
opportunities of accumulating wealth Of
fered by different trades and professions,
basing Its figures upon the schedules Of es-
tateS, which in England have to be record

which the most recently published part of
this inquiry relates includes coal operators,
iron makers, engineers and contractors,
and taking list of these, extending over
several years, it is found that the average
amount Of wealth in this class has exceed
ed that of any other, with the exception
of foreign and merchant bankers. The
amount credited to those in the list reached
an average CT about 81, zoo, 600 each, while
the bankels footed up nearly 81, 600, 900
apiece. The lower amount is a very respect

an old lace shawl, and the ribbon about
its waist and in its cap had evidently been
placed there by unskilled hands 1t seemed
contented as it fed from its bottle, and
from time to time the man pressed it close
to him and looked in its face with
dimmed, tender eyes. A woman with .
kind face, who sat near, made a remark
about the beauty of the child and the IA
ther looked up with a pathetic smile.
Yes, ma'am, she is pretty. She's like
her mother. That makes it harder to part
