In leather goods there are many decided

Here is skirt that is going TO become
craze. In fact it already has in a meas
ure the Killed variety. I his skirt is
wide at the base and narrow up at the
waist. 1t possesses very little fullness,
just enough TO achieve its pleatS and very
scanty at that. 1t is all the fashion to
kilt skirts in cloth and in serge for the
street and tire house and in satin for
evening wear The craze has gone so far
that killed skirts have really been made
out OF crepe du chine and on this skirt ere
intervals from hem to knees
These are the things that tell us to saw
goodby to the plain skirt, that is. the per

a quarter of a yard. While there is a
wide latitude as to shades, the dress
makers say that for the ordinary skirt and
coat, the lightest are most popular either
in grey or in drab. The ma ioTity of
this seasons coats reach to the hips,
with decorations of braid. The coat to

1t will ne noticed from this that the great

women have many high natural quahfiCa-

regard TO these same nounces 1t looks
very much as if we were going to have the
shoulder scarfs and many frilled skirts
with which our grandmothers managed to
array themselves so charmingly Beyond

fully gathered and draped lace flounces as
Il trimming for Skirts. In many cases the
skirts will be covered with three deep
flounces, the top one being lightly gatI-

old immortal estates, the many acred
"places' derived from grants or bv

of their hOspitable occupancy and, with
the exception of a few market towns

the region else between ALBANY and
New York there brooded sleepy. pas-

never to return--a loss ill supplied bv

plates, pillow their way through the hills
sending their magic searohlights from
shore to shore
The generation that knew and loved
the valley in this pastoral time israpid-
ly passing away, and the newcomers
who are remaking the land are in large
measure of a different race, or at least
it may be said there has been so strong
an infusion of new peoples that the sur
face complexion of the towns and vii
lagos has been strangely altered. Where
in this still remembered time, the names
of the inhabitants betrayed. for the

origin, with scattering contingent of
English and Huguenot strain, our rural
postmasters find the labor of having
every few years to learn the names of
even the older residents enormously in.
