sertion that seem to wander at will about
the skirt meet at the top Of the V and
then commence their travels all over
again.S There is the usual pleating and
the bread insertion and then the same
over and over again, but the lace on the
bottom is much broader than the usual
run on petticoats. The lovely thing about
these skirts is the flufffuff. Any amount
of material is put in them-enough to
make two plain ones-but when the outer
skirt is held up part of the petticoat is
held up with it and the rest Of it follows
the feet in and out.
Once in a while it dawns upon the in
tellect that serviceable skirt is abso-

brocade is just the ticket. With black

There is another dream of a white one,
too. The main ruffie reaches about to the

GREAT MEN WHO HAVE

until their daughter was of a marriage

girl all the money he had, which amount

became a domestic in the family of
clergyman. Five years later Cobbett re.
turned to England and married her.
Sir Henry Parkes, Premier Of New
South Wales, is another example. One

servant girl who waited upon the table,
and persuaded his host to allow her to
enter his employ. This she did, and for
a short time held the position OF cook in
Sir Henry household. Then his love for
her oVercame all conventionalities and he
made her Lady Parkes.
