SHORT SKIRTS IN DEMAND.

New York Commercial Advertiser
The short skirt promises to be as pop
ular an article of apparel this season
as the pique frock or the net dancing
gown. Women who never rode BIZ
cycle have been wearing shoe-rop
skirts in the mountains for several
years, and in combination with stout
laced boots they constitute the only
sensible costume for women who wish
to exercise their limbs without endan-
gering their necks. The popularity of
the short skirt grows apace, although
pessimists say bicycles are being
neglected and forgotten. The com
fort, convenience and cleanliness of the
gown that clears the ground by ten
or twelve inches are points in it's ia
vor, but to most women the abbrevi-
ated garment is becoming, and that ac-
counts for the fact that dry goods
shops and tailors are overrun with or
ders for shoe-tOp length costumes, or
skirts alone They are made of-checks,
plaids and pretty two-toned effects in
smooth cloths, cheyiots, serge or
rough, shaggy camels hair. They
should not be too light in weight, and,
of course, should hang well. Even at
Larct mont, Narragansett and on Long
island, where mountain climbing is i'm
possible and pedestrianism not among
the popular sports" the mannish,
shoe and the short skirt
are worn with shirt waist and sailor in
the morning. Little slippers, lace
frilled muslins and trailing skirts, long
associated in the popular mind with
summer mornings on hotel or cottage
will be relegated to the mat
-ons too fat or too staid for active
service" or to the girl who is willing

lance, embroider and play croQuet.

judicial opinions, and his own legal
