quandary that now possesses the mind
Of the average woman Who aspires to be
we'll dressed. The house Of Paquin is
directly responsible for all this agitation
and general condition of painful doubt
and cruel uncertainty that hold their
dark reign in thinking feminine minds.
The house Of Paquin has surely much
to answer for.
This is what it is all about. When
the new models for this season we're
shown, it was quickly evident that there
were to be certain radical changes in
skirts and sleeves that would make last
seasons things impossible. As the
changes seemed reasonable, and as they
promised to be even more becoming to
lovely women than the fashions they
were succeeding. nobody grumbled-
least not very audibly-and all philo-
sophically proceeded to restock their
wardrobes. Butch, fatal "but"-
there was one model shown that had a
skirt cut as wide at the top-almost-as
at the bottom. and its ample width was
half gathered, half pleated into it's band.
Bonnie femme they called it, for want Of
better name.
Well, the bonnie femme skirt was
shown, but few, il any, orders were
taken for it even by the most prominent
modistes with the largest clienteles. 1t
was generally and, indeed. universally
condemned for it's lack Of grace and
beauty. So many derogatory things
were said about it that everyone sup
posed it had been definitely disposed of
and irrevocably consigned to eternal
oblivion, when-oh, fatal "when!"-
from Paris comes the fiat that the bonnie
femme skirt, or skirts of its genre, are
absolutely de rigueur.
That this latest mode shortens, broad.
ems and thickens out beyond words is
something that does not seem to trouble
the fashion makers. Their memorable
DEGREES 60 forth, and we Modishes have
to follow, nolens volens.
Now, every one who talks clothes is
asking every one else: "Is this wretched
bonnie femme skirt a fad of the moment,
or is it an avant courier OF the worlds
next fashions?"
II it is but fad We may be bold
enough to refuse to adopt it; but if it is
on its way to certain supremacy. we
must adopt it, and endesvor to adapt it
with success to our each separate and
Individual styles. But at time when
season after season has trained the eye
to expect to see all hips smoothly felled
and faultlessly outlined by the skirt, no
matter how much fullness may have
been disposed Of about the feer, it is a
horrid shock to suddenly see hips
swathed and enveloped 10 yards Of ma
teria], to see all the good lines of ones
figure distorted and the bad lines ex-
aggerated.
No! the bonnie femme skirt is not a
boon, so let US hope that it will endure

He made his way through the back door
and found himself among the straw and
chips of the stable yard and woodshed.
Still uncertain what to do he mechanically

as temporary stalls for the steaming wagon
horses. At the further end to his surprise

from the shed. The wet snow muffied the
sound of the horses hoofs. Moving round

| dashed into the open.
| At first he was confused and bewildered

ground and dazzled by the still driving
storm But he knew that they would also

discovered they were followed they would,

through the storm, detach one OF their

| follow. He felt his revolver safe on his
