Wenea Are Learning TO Hold Then o.
Gracefully.
THE only good word l can ny for
the trailing street skirt il that 1t has
taught women to hold up their skirts
more gracefully than they have ever
done before" said woman who was
tramptng along Twenty-third street
yesterday with her voluminous gown
tucked neatly into folds at one side
and held high enough above the ground
TO show an expanse OF pink-and-black
petticoat that exactly matched the
tints OF her velvet toque, according to
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Before we wore these absurd. dust
sweeping, misunderstanding trains we
used to pick up our skirts when we
crossed the street or came upon q
puddle. Did you ever watch twenty
women pass wet spot on the sidewalk
or 20 over a crossing on = rainy day7
My dear, 1t is the greatest advantage
OF corner house. To sit In corner
window for one afternoon and take
notes on the one hundred wrong ways
OF holding up skirts Is an education
that Delsarte or Paquain would charge
thousands OF dollars for. The short.
tight skirt was almost impossible to
hold up comfortably. the full skirt was
impossible to hold up neatly unless
one had the hand of a giantess. The
Parisienne, always practical and equal
TO emergencies. used two hands. gath
ering up the skirt gracefully at either
side and thus lifting front as well as
back. The Parislenne's petticoats are
perfect, and her little mincing glide II
well adapted to the tucked-up frock.
Fancy the long, tramping stride OF the
athletic woman beneath a gathered-up
dress! I am not complaining OF tho
look OF the trailing skirts now in fash
ion. They are graceful and becoming.
But when one picks them up no one
knows whether they hang we'll or not.
and II one lets them trail they wear
dust border In fifteen minutes. They
may be charming in Paris, where the
streets are clean, but as well-dressed
French women walk about as much az
do the wives OF first-rank mandarins.
/ don't see the great advantage Of the
long trains for outdoor wear. But, as
! said before. the fashion has its COM
pensations. Look at that woman ahead
of us. See how neatly and easily she
keeps that tail above the ground and
out Of the way OF her feet. too. She
doesn't drag the petticoat up with II.
either. and she doesn't hold the skirt
too high on one side and let It drag
in the dust on the other side. That's
system and science and grace combin-
ed Before the trailing skirt came into
vogue she probably clutched her dress
into bunch that waggled as she walk
ed, cramped her arm by holding 1t too
far back. and dragged the fiounces of
her petticoat In her efforts to escape |
puddles and mud. The logic of =
trailing skirt held up Is not quite
clear to me, but one thing l do know,
and that Is that It has cured scores
Of women OF their most awkward man
nsrisms."

noon to get the monster back on the

The wrecking train came up from

will probably be in order for No. 3
