How TO HOLD UP SKIRTs.-In the
city the rain has kept the streets like
shallow rivers of mud, says Paris
special. All this gives an appropriate
ought to hold their skirts out of the
mud when walking. La Gil Bias lays
down very precise rules on this point.
As matter of fact, the real Paris
ienne rarely walks, unless she is an
anglomaDiac or goes in for short walks,
when she wears common-sense cos
tuioes, which give her no trouble.
Il appears, however, that to be really
smsrt-which is work that has taken
The place of chic-a woman must take
her skirt at the right side, gathering
up the folds in sort of half-closed fan
OF course, she must be daintily shod,
though she must just hint at that fact
without disclosing it too plainly.
Nine. Adam, directress of the Revue
Beu, is held up as sort OF model Of
distinction and elegance. Sarah Bern-
hardt and Mme. Rejane are bO b re
spectfully alluded to, although they are
said to have subtle something in their
way of holding their skirts that stamps
them as belonging to the world whose
views stop just on the right side of
strait-lacedness.
On nthe other hand, Mile. Lucie Faure,
the Duchess d'Uzes and the Queen Re
gent of Spain apparently don't come up
to the stardard of correctness laid down
for the truly "smart." They are not
sufficiently "smart."
