Summer Skirts.


The skirts fit, if possible, more closely
than ever around the hips. This in spite
of all the tucks and pleats that are in
fashion; they flare, however, more than
ever around the foot. and are finished
flounces says Harper's Bazaar. The same
rule applies to the thin material as to
the cloth and heavier goods, for the idea
that has to be carried out is to have
everything as straight up and down as
possible, and the slender figures are con-
sidered vastly smarter than the stouter
ones. Which is rather paradox In view
of the fact that fiat trimmings are more
becoming to rather stout figures When
the tiounced skirts are worn the fiat ef-
feet, of course, is more difficult to OBJ
tain, but there is not one inch more full
ness in the hounces than is necessary
while the skirt upon which they are
sewed fits closely to the figure. and is
made over a lining that fits more closely

SLEEVES OF TODAY.
Great Length and Tight Fitting Dis
tinguishing Features.

Sleeves still remain pretty much the
same those of the tailor made being
worn quite long The almost universal
fashion of having them widen out, so as
to come well over the hand, is now varied
by round cuff for a button finish. Dres-
sier gowns almost inyariablY have the
mutton-Ieg-s shaped sleeve, yesy tlght-fft-
ting, and when trimmed the gafnitpfe is
put on very fiat.
Some novelties for the tickle ones ap-
pear, Of course, as, for instance, very,
tight sleeve slashed at the elbows, with
silk drawn through the openings, rather
full On the outside. Costumes of dia-
phanous fabrics frequently have no lining
in their sleeves and often the bodice lin
ing is cut low. AS gloves spoil the eff
feet of these sleeves they are dispensed
with, and the sleeve IS cut low enough
to come we'll down over the knuckles.

SUMMER HOSIERY.

Black Popular as Always, but Fancy
Effects in the Ascendency.
While the new summer hosiery is deli
cate and refined, yet much bright in tint
and fancy in pattern is on view in the
shops. Black is the always popular and
reliable, yet bright blues, purples, yell
lows, browns, grays and rose are being
bought to accompany summer gowns.
The preferred styles in fancy effects
are the lace all-overs, lace boot patterns,
and lace ones embroidered with sparsely
scattered white dots. zigzags and other
designs.

ODD IDEAS ABOUT BATHING.

Astonishing Note Concerning the
Childhood of Louis XIII.
In these days of universal Tubing, it Is
Interesting to read the curious notions
about bathing, in vogue in former genera
tons. In a sketch of the childhood Of
Louis XIII. in the Atlantic Monthly, his
tutor writes under date of August, 1908:
THE Dauphin was bathed for the first
time; put into the bath. and Madame, his
sister, aged six, with him. The Dauphin
was seven years old at the time"
In his fourth year he had his feet wash
ed with a damp cloth; when he was six,
they washed his feet in tepid water in
the queens basin for the first time"

THREAD. MANUFACTURES.


The most encouraging word received OF
late in regard to the improvements on
methods Of thread manufacture, in which
a number Of American Factories, are con-
cerned, Is that the seraptngs from the
fiber makes a lint prononnced by doctors
to be the finest qua1itys This saves waste
Of the fiber, and the discovery that the
shive or wooden core, (which has hereto
fore been burned, is available for paper
pulp, utilizes every portion Of the plant.
and, if fully demonstrated, will revolu-
uonize the industry, which few years
ago yielded only seed for oil, the remain
der of the product being regarded as val
ueless. Another important discovery
claimed by New England manufacturers
Is that they can make the finest quality
Of thread from straw raised in the ordi-
nary way for the seed. 1t has been claim
ed by European linen manufacturers that
in order to get the best thread, or indeed
any good thread, the plant must receive
special and expensive culture.

That Appear on Modish Hats.
The latest and most desirable hats are
created from soft italian straw, with
rather low crowns and broad brims twist
ed and cut up with laces. Fruit, foliage.
grapes, cherries, plums and currants are
salient features in their trimming scheme,
while many roses. large rosettes of silk
and other stuffs, bound with velvet, ma
line and Persian silk, are to be found on
the head coverings Of stylish women
Daring combinations of very thin fab
rtes and wings, the Philadelphia Record
says. are much liked as a trimming also.
It is predicted that the high-croWned
hats so notieeably prominent in the mil
liners realm just now will soon lose IA

Ter, of the Fourth cavalry, has made
a written statement to the war de-

blank denial of the story sent from
Manila to prohibition paper regard
ing the excessive immortality in the
Philippines. He says that after max
ing a night exploration in Manila in
company with the secretary of the
Young Mems Christian association, he
did not see more than half a dozen
drunken soldiers. Chaplain Miller
says: GA strict regard for the truth
compels me to state that for the same
number of soldiers assembled in a
given place I have found a larger de-
gree of drunkenness and immortality
in the cities of our home land than
in the cities of the Philippine archi-
pelago.''

BANKING STATISTICS.
The Comptroller of the Currency Makes
His Annual RepOrt-Wants Loans to
Bank officials Restricted.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The annual
report of Charles G. Dawes, comp
troller of the currency, for the year
ended October 81, 1900, has been pre-
pared for transmission to congress.
The total increase in the circulation
secured by government bonds of all
national banks in the system since
March IA, 1900, has been $82, 454, 27O.
The total outstanding circulation on
October 81, 1900, was 1891, 1868, of
which $50, 784, 2O4. is secured by lawful

national banks in operation, with
combined capital of $632, 500, 395. The
combined resources of the national
banks being over $5,OO0,OOO,00O is
greater than at any time heretofore.
The most important recommended
ton made by the comptroller, and
that which is the chief feature of the
report, is one for additional restric
tions upon loans to directors and eX-
ecutive officers of banks. The comp
troller states that the large percent
age of bank failures attributable to
excessive loans to directors and Off
GERS, which amounted to So failures.
or II per cent. of the total failures of
national banks, led him to careful
investigation as to all directors loans
now outstanding in the national banks
