well as the back. 1t Is usually held
with the thumb and third finger, which
Is much more graceful than grabbing
1t in the hand, using all the fingers.
The short skirts to be worn this WIN
ter for golf and walking are much long
er than those Of last season, and really
require little manipulating to keep them
from the ground, especially In st. Louis
where the streets are not as clean as
they might be. It really adds to the
graceful effect to gather the skirt In
the back, thus producing a bouffant APP
pearance while raising 1t.
AS civilization in any community ad-
vances there is necessarily more formal
methods of carrying on the affairs Of
life, whether OF business or pleasure. We
may deprecate the fact that Republican
simplicity Is being lost sight Of, and
gloomily predict the rise Of nonarchial
systems, but the wise ones know that
I 1t Is simply matter Of evolution, and
that with comprehensive environment

HOLDING THE SKIRT.
The Right Way and the Wrong Way
Compared.

The Right Way and the Wrong Way
Compared.
The society woman Is never careless
concerning details, and religiously con-
siders the manner in which she shall
conduct herself upon every occasion. Not
only does she give time and thought to
the subject of dress. studying 1t in its
thousand and one phases, but she takes
care that when a garment Is finished
1t shall be worn properly, and that 1t
shall be well taken care of In order that
the freshness of the fabric and the fit
may be preserved. Even In the manner
in which the garment is lifted from
the ground does one obey the dictates
of fashion. One has only to stand on
the corner and watch the process on OF
the maids Of Vanity Fair upon al day
when the streets are a little muddy and
the difference will be very apparent be.
tween those who observe the code and
those who do not.
Here comes a young woman con-
structed on the expansion plan, who
gathers her skirts in two handfuls, at
the sides, and crosses the street with
that unpleasant lateral motion so char
acteristic of this type of woman. She
isn't neatly shod. and she Is loosely
stayed at all points, and does not at
tract pleasant notice.
Another tall and willowy creature, de-
f1es the mud and dust and carries her
self with q stately pride through the
nire, which positively clings to her. 1t
Is enough to send shiver to the stout
est heart contemplating the condition Of
that long skirt, which trails behind.
A stylishly dressed little woman picks
up her skirt, and pulls it straight from

the back to the front, making about as
ungraceful a spectacle of herself as it
Is possible to conceive. And so the pro-
ceSston moves on, until presently Gown
from her carriage steps the girl who has
just come home from NeWport and just
observe the difference! To tell the
truth she Is just the least bit glad that
an opportunity has come 80 soon to put
into practice the pretty new wrinkle she
has so recently learned. Before she
went to Newport this summer she carried
her skirt much in the same ungraceful
way as the girl who wrapped her skirts
around her as she crossed the street.
But the society girl has learned a bet
ter way since then. She gathers Che
skirt in her hand at the back and lifts
it straight up, with no lateral twist to
the garment.
In the "Grecian bend" days, when a
"tilter," or hustle. Of enormous proper
lions was used to help support the
train worn with all street dresses. there
was sort Of belt, made Of elastic, which
dress pulled up through 1t. 1t was not
very graceful to be sure, but it kept the
skirt clean at any rate.
The short dress is worn to such an ex-
tent that in rainy weather it Is I'M
usual to see a woman with a long dress,
but this dress Is exceedingly unbeooming
to the majority Of women. and while
1t is all right for rainy days. the wise
woman will consider the fact that she
can not afford to make a fright of her.
self even for the sake Of keeping her
dress clean. And SO she wears q long
dress, which is a becoming dress. and
holds 1t gracefully from contact with the
street.
Holding the skirt, as in Fig. 1, pre-
vents the possibility Of it's becoming
