Some women are complaining about
the new separate skirts. Their chief
cause Of discontinue seems TO be that
they are too long and narrow. Ii may
be noted just en- passant that the majori-
ty cf the fault finders, who are tall,
slender women, found the bell skirt
more suitable for their style Of figure
Meantime the plump danes are intense
ly pleased with the revived mode. Some
excellent models in separate skirts are
being shown in the leading studios. A

lard skirt fits closely over the hips and

Sensible short skirts.

ctnslDlc snort cklrNes
A marked feature at Lakewood, n.
J., during the fashionable season was
the short skirt used by women for walk
ing and all general ont Of door wear
The short skirt was not confined to hi
eycle riders or tennis and golf payers.
In the streets of the town, along its
promenades or IN the parks and woods
one met everywhere smartly dressed
women wearing this convenient and
comfortable walking skirt. It's vogue
was so great as TO show something more
than q particular preference for neat
ness and convenience in walking
The skirt most worn was somewhat
longer than the bicycle skirt. 1t comes
jast below the shoe tops, clearing the
ground by about four inches 1t hangs
in even folds and is of about medium
width. Many such skirts are not bound
on the bottom, but faced with a wide
piece of the dress material and finished
with many rows of machine stitching.
The skirts are of cloth or mixed cheviots
OF dark shades. A very smart costume
included such skirt cf gray eheviot,
with a scarlet jacket of smooth faced
cloth, plain linen collar, with tie, and
gray felt hat Of round soft shape.
For seaside OF mountain wear by
summer visitors or for travelling or for
! general wear in the country by those
who are much ont of doors and on foot
these short skirts are valuable They
have always been comfortable and con-
venient, but TO preach common sense
en- the subject to those who follow style
more than their own ideas of what is
proper is usually time and breath
I wasted.
But if the use of the short skirts has
been stamped with the approval Of fash
/ ionable society people their use Is likely
to increase this number, and it would
be wise plan for every woman who
wishes to do what is correct in such
matters to see to it that a well made
short walking skirt is among the neces-
sary articles provided for her summer
outft-Harper' Bazar.

he sued for peace, and it was declared
June 3. 1905. Jefferson was president
then, and would not declare war. Con-
gress, not considering the pirate pow
ers entitled to a formal declaration.
simply authorized the president to
send armed vessels to the Mediterran-
can. And the yankee navy did the
rest
In 1861 there was no declaration of
war. The confederate states govern
ment was not yet framed and the
/. north could not declare war against
nation which it held did not exist.
But Jan. 16, 1861, the senate adopted a
resolution that "the union should be
preserved and the secession put down Z"
But southern forts had already been
occupied by forces hostile to the union.
and the Star of the West had been
fred on at Charleston. And in 1865
there was, of course, no treaty of
peace. There was simply a surrender
ana the resumption of national au-
thority over the region lately in a state
of insurrection.
War was declared between Franco
and Germany July 10, 1870 by the for
mer country. Napoleon III.-and in
deed. his people generally-were mad
Tor war with Germany, and when a
prince or the house of HohenZollern
was elected to the vacant throne OF
spain the Paris government precipi-
tated the conflict. regardless of the fact
that the German ruler disavowed re-
sponsibility for the selection and re-
gardleSs of the fact that the princes
pretensions were withdrawn
In this country the initiative always
rests with congress, and on its au-
thorization the president may-and
mLst-proclaim war.
1t is interesting to observe that the
United States has fought five wars in
the l22 years since the declaration an
nounced the birth of our nation. In
each one we have triumphed. In that
period England has fought six wars
not including conflicts with savages in
India and in Africa. And she has lost
tWo~-both to America. France has en-
gagged in six, and has lost tWo-one
with the allied powers and one with
Germany. Prussia in the same period
has lost two out of five wars. Austria
has lost three out of FIVE Russia has
lost two and has gained two Spain
has lest every war she has undertaken
in that period-unless her ten years
war with Cuba may be called Victori-
Gus
The United States has declared war
but once-that instance being in 1872,
and after such a series of insults and
injuries as no nation would now dream
of infiicting. But there has never been
day when a declaration Of war from
another nation has found US unpre-
pared. And every enemy which has
first attacked us has been first to sue
for peace.

the well-known churches here and is very

her boarders must be down early for

on his first Sunday in the house came
downstairs rather late.
You are not on time this morning,

WITH THE BARBARY POWERS.

Going back to the war with the Bar
barry powers, which preceded the war
of 1872, another method is observed.
In that case the Bey of Tripoli, being
dissatisfied with the fruits of black
mail which he, with the other pirate
nations of North Africa, levied against
all nations, declared war against
America, June 10. 1901. But after his
ships had been sunk and his towns
