yFIL DOWN on POEr GORDON,
plot of = Giri aud a sophomore Against
an Omuiscicat Critic.

Among others AT this summed hotel dining
table was a plump Young clergyman who
dressed beautifully and knew everything.
There wa every reason for this latter
quality. because he had got through spend
ing four years In college and three more In
a theological school only a short time he
fore. And u. bad continued to absorb
culture slarmiagly since.
Besides knowing everything, perhaps as
q result OF II he was willing to give an su-
theutic opinion IN any subject you could
think ~. Sometimes " wasn't necessary
TO ask him for Il. He would seem to feel tho
need OF his companions for enlightenment
and begin Co throw out beams like an in
cande-crnt lamp. Several mild. middle
aged and elderly ladies al the table idolized
him hop-lc-slv from affair. and one who was
large and wore rimle-s eve glasses took
long. steady looks into his eyes. because she
knew that she was another intellectual soul.
Two more az that table were n girl and q
sophomore. or some such bartarous thing
The girl was crassly ignorant and cras-ly
leauiiful. The sophomore wa unspeak-
able. He showed no more gratitude al the
clergymsn's patient willingness tn correct
erroneous impressions than II he had been
a native Of the Jolo archipelsgo.
Probably the only question for wears
tina the young clergyman ouldn answer
10 his instant and complete satisfaction
was why the crassly beautiful girl could
lower herself by letting the sophomore
savage play golf with her and sail her round
the hay. when a few days with himself might
have awakened her soul You could tell
thai the girl had a soul because her eyes
extended back to II.
one day at dinner the clergyman was
telling the table how to read Brow ming,
aproros Of a confession by one OF the mild
ladies that she had been trying II that
afternoon.

clergyman was explaining, as he tapped

skirt. The front and sides hang perfect
ly straight, but at the back there is a
double box plait. inverted, which is made
so that 1t does not flare until the foot of
the skirt is reached when it takes a series
of pretty folds, ending in little train.
The home dressmaker can experiment
with both of these skirts and see how she
comes out. She will not succeed If she
attempts to curtail the length, for the
skirt must be very, very long, and this
must be the case not only in the back but
in the front. which is really or such q
length that you wonder how you will walk
In it.
The skirt lift is an important thing to
learn, for II is so necessary a part of
ones appearance in the street. The skirt,
If properly raised in the middle OF the
back. will lift the front also so that It will
well escape the ground. This back lift Is
the proper thing for the funnel or gradu-
ally sloping skirt.
box plated back requires the side lift.
The train is lifted in one hand and pulled
around toward the side so as to twist 1t
around the figure. thus lifting It. Practice
and pier glass make perfect In lifting
the train.

style Of skirt.
And what are they doing, those fashion
able women who live to exploit the
styles? They are -ftting their skirts so
tightly around the hips that there is posi-
lively no room for a petticoat beneath,
and are wearing the garter petticoat IL
is not a question Of a fitted petticoat or
shrred one, but of no petticoat at all,
and Dame Fashion has sighed and said
that there shall be none at all.
The leg petticoat, or the garter petti-
coat. is just a little fQnnce seWed to each
garter, so that it just escapes the ground.
1t can be very handsome, for as II never
touches the street II does not become
worn or torn. It's future popularity hangs
In the balance. however, for without her
petticoat woman does not feel as though
she were fulfilling the daintily feminine
element and 1t is likely that the garter

Home Dressmaking.
In home dressmaking the trouble comes
with the fare. There are two ways of
making the new skirt, or rather two kinds
of new skirts from which to choose. One

cided flare at the knees, so as to show
very wide foot flare. This is called the

CTXEE woman who easily made herself
a gown a year ago will find herself
compelled to go to school of dress
making before she can successfully
"A accomplish the same task this year.
One short twelvemonth since she could
have purchased material and put together
a skirt, after simple laws, and a
waist upon Still palmer instructions, and
have obtained for herself something very
nice for little money. A shirt waist would
have done nicely in place of the specially
fashioned confection.
This season she will find 1t all changed,
and though she need not throw away her
last years gowns, she will probably fni
that they are not up to the standard nor
such as she would care to copy this win

All seems to be changed yet the change
has come about so gradually and the diff
ference IS so subtle that the details might
escape notice unless ones eyes were spe-
cially directed TO them.
Yet at glance the new suits are en-
tirely different, Skirts are changed very
much and bodices are not at all as they
We're.
The New Skirt.

that the greatest alteration has been
made. In the very new skirts there are
ever so many cores, or II not gored there
