better advantage the intricate designs

For evening wear petticoats are made
of organdy or even mousseline de sole,
and actually lined with coiored SILK. with
ruffies of the same silk underlying CLOUDY
ruffies of mousseline and lace. They are
further trimmed with bows of silk rib
bon, and altogether are most indescrib-
ably lovely. other skirts, all of silk, are
finished with circular silk founces, over
which are full plated rufaes of white
point d'esprit, the latter being garnished
with arabesques of coiored ribbon rueh-
Ing, to match the foundation. For wear
with visiting gowns the silk should match
the lining OF the costume. and black point

THREE REASONS FOR
WEARING SHORT SKIRTS

The long skirt is responsible for many
OF the woes of woman. Not only does 1t
sweep up microbes OF various diseases. but
It is the promoter Of neuralgia palms. which
are brought on by constantly holding up
the dress. This fact was clearly shown by
Prof. Rubner in a public discussion which
took place at Berlin recently. Nor is the
long skirt to be advocated from an artis-
tic point OF view. for Prof. Brockmuelier,
the artist while not denying the graceful
ness OF trains In general, pointed out that
the effect in any quick movement was
awkward. and recommended the use of the
short skirt for dancing. Nine. Prof Seller
advocated the use OF short skirts because
they make women look younger

Trou..cau Make. the Man Propose.

When a young man among the peasants
of Bohemia thinks he likes girl well
enough to marry her he asks permission
not TO court her, but TO see her trousseau
In anticipation OF this request all young
women of marriagcable age have their
trousseau--the result of years OF careful
spinning. weaving and embroidering--
placed In large painted box, The young
man opens the box and examines its con-
tents. If they are satisfactory he makes
formal application for the girls handi IL
not, he Is at liberty silently to go his way.

"What is to be done with the petit
lions presented to congress?" Not
, with the requests
h EN- S elves, but
oohsreS". with the paper on
which they are expressed. They have
impossible to examine them, and it is
even problem to provide storage
room for them. The privilege of petit
tioning to those who make the laws
is one of the fundamental rights of
ii free people, and no one desires to
restrict it. But iu these days of easy
letter writing the average congress
man asks himself, when he sees n pile
ot letters and petitions: "Who has
been starting all this up?' For usual
ly some one makes it a business to
have congress bombarded with petit
tions in order TO bring influence to
bear upon it. Word goes out to the
labor unions, to the farmers associa-
lions, to the commercial bodies, or to
religious societies to petition for this
thing or that, and thousands, some
times hundreds of thousands, of re-
sponses follow. One man has been so
active in bringing pressure upon con-
gress on behalf of several matters in
which he is interested that he is said
to have doubled the volume of mail
received at the capitol. His system of
stimulating the public to present Pc
titions is most elaborate. When the
case of Mr.. Roberts, of Utah, was be
fore congress, the petitions against
his admission, piled in front of the
speakers desk. made a larger load
than horse could draw, Sometimes
petitions are presented in picturesque
form. The collar makers of Troy,
during tariff debate. once submitted
great book shaped like n collin.
whirh contained thousands of sigma
lures. Some petitions have beer
pushed into the house in wheelbar'
row, to give dramatic effect to the
putburst of popular opinion which
they were supposed to represent

dence of having come spontaneously
