but have heard mamma say that she
belonged to the working Glass;
IL is perhaps little premature, says the
New York Times, to recommend founced
skirts. Several have been made, but 1t
seems not yet quite certain whether the
idea VIII AXE or whether it will remain one
among the many experiments tried and
dropped every spring. This is a word to
the prudent and having spoken it the con-
sclentious writer may go on to describe
what the dress-makers say will be the
great rage in the spring.
The hounced skirt is in three stages, OF
II may be in five. If the material is thick
the hounces are cut in godets, that is to
say in a curve, as capes used to be cut,
which, when Strengthened out, gives full
ness without gathers. Lay the pattern
on the cloth so that the texture will run
straight in the front and bias on the sides.
Inc Hounces are lined with thin silk be-
fore mounting on the skirt Thus mod
ell is made with the skirt of beige cloth
In three fiounces 1t has blouse Of beige
mousseline de sole brocaded with little
meander in white, and a bolero and sleeves
OF beige velvet. The brolero fits close and
fastens invisibly, with the effect of a
yoke. Narrow white belt. This gown is
made for the Riveria; for a colder eli
mate is may be copied in darker colors.
When the fiounces are of thin material
they may be cut straightways of the cloth
and gathered or plated. Thus, an all
black dinner gown has the skirt in three
plated fiounces of mousseline de sole
with blouse of velvet and jet and long
shirred sleeves of the mousseline. Atteu-
ton should be called to an innovation in
this gown. Little flaps of velvet not more
than two or, two and half inches deep
are added on below the belt, carrying the
blouse down with the suggestion of a
basque. They are sewed to the skirt so as
to add thickness round the waist l have
seen black gown with these little basques
made of green velvet, and at the top of the
neck band Of a turnover collar to match.
They were dining off fowl in a restau-
rent. You see,'' he explained as he SHOW
ed her the wishbone, you take hold here
and I'll take hold here. Then we must
both make a wish and pull and the one
who has the bigger part of it will have his
or her wish granted"
But don't know what to wish for"
she protested.
''oh, you can think of something" he
added.
NO I can't" she replied; 81 can't think

'Well. I'll wish for you,' he exclaimed.
VIII you, really?'' she asked.

We'll then, there's no use fooling with
the old wishbone," she interrupted, with
glad smile; you can have me-

Mrs. Caustic, to a New York Tribune
writer, ''if members of a family should
compare their statements beforehand, to

French play, or the typical new woman,

"All this told quite artlessly and with
out any apparent need of the elaborate
description which, however served its
turn as a topic. I thought no more about
1t until the next morning, when my son
happened to say that he had walked up
town with Mr.. r. and that they had
dined with each other and gone to the
play.
"'But Mr.. R. dined with his chill
dren!' I explained. His wife told me she

Now, why do you suppose Mrs. Rado-
taee manufactured such an imaginary sit
uaton ?" asked Mrs. Caustic.
There was no raison d etre for It; neith-
err was there any reason why her hus-
band should have stayed at home while
she went outP

At a recent exhibition OF lingerie, says
the New York Tribune were noted some
fine Elaborate chemises, with rather deep
yoke front and back the soft linen batiste
being fulled onto the yoke. They were
decidedly more graceful than the usual
form, and the Jokes were made with lace
and entredeux. through which ribbon was
run, ending In series OF little bows
down one side. The chemises Intended
for evening use are charming. with no
sleeves at ALL being held over the shout
