THE TRAILING SKIRT.

FINDER present conditions the chill

than children Of the tenements. For
this misfortune the little child Of az
fuence has his fashionable mother 10
blame, She goes out this season ar
rayei in a skirt that sweeps the side
walks more effectively than any
patent street cleaning device. This
Nth, gathered up into the folds Of
cloth, Is carried into the house, and,
as she walks over the rough but lux
urious carpets Of her costly home, the
germs OF disease and death gathered
from a thousand sidewalks are dis
tributed upon It's surface to be stirred
up BY every passing fOotstep or the
housemaid's broom.
The mothers OF the poor cannot az
ford TO wear the modish eelskln skirts
Of costly fabrics, but must content
themselves with cheap wash goods,
and every time the garment goes
into the wdshtub the dangerous dust
and disease germs are efectually
cleansed away.
Most mothers are ignorant Of the
great harm that they are doing their
children In wearing these trailing
street dresses. II they must be In

thoughtful enough. once warned, 10
