bracelet form. Jade is considered al
most sacred by the inhabitants of the
Land of the Midnight Sun and re-
| garded elsewhere as the wonder of
| China. 1t is SO hard that it can be cut
only with a diamond, yet so tough it
may be reduced to cardboard thinnesS
| if required. The streaky jade is most
precious. The Chinese take out the
darkest streaks, converting them into
rings with which to WOO the goddess
Fortune.

circlet, for it is no thing of beauty.
! Now prepare yourself for real SEN

| Strike petticoats off your list!
The startling intelligence is heralded
! abroad that spring skirts permit no
association with silk and nainsook
petticoats. In other words, my dears,
every line of your figure is to be wish

Madame says we sighed so frequent

crinoline craze that she strangled it at
birth. Now madame sweeps majestic
ally through the length of her show
rooms with satin knickerbockers, in
hand. These, forsooth, are to meet the
petticoat exigency. We prance up and
! down like unto the restless steed, de-
claring against her mandates.
Madame refuses to be intimidated by
! our persistent intimidations. She
calmly surveys the outstretched bifur
Gates, telling us there's cause for their
being, and the effect will be appreciated
later.
Her hand maiden opens box after box
of charming silken things, with fancy
knee buckles and corsets to match. We
go, in an unreasoning sort of way con-
vinced that madame is right. The
usual experience follows.
When next we order our gown we
hesitate and are lost. Madame brings
forth the seductive knickers. She wins
the day. You don them to rejoice in
the freedom of limb allowed.
If every other woman you meet
for she's only wondering how you've
managed to preserve the exquisite fit
of your skirt, is the sauce piquante
madame serves as the street door
swings to behind you.
Really you have no idea of the COM

only feminine condition deserving the
name of emancipation.
In this day of ANALYSIS Aunt Hetty
has undertaken to discuss the female
walk. Indeed she's quite discouraging.
American women don't know how to
walk with or without petticoatS," she
emphatically asserts.
Listen, girls, to her summing up.
She says English women travel-that
their limbs appear to be moved by
steam engine. The Spanish women
prance, the American women recall a
clock pendulum, the Italian skips
Dutchwomen roll. the Russian skates.

woman, who practices the old custom
Of carrying her burdens on her head,

grace.

be borrowing baby and resurrecting

pedestrianism, just as | have done.

model appeared on Fifth avenue, leav-

1t goes without saying that it was
