Now Skirt Wrinkle.

In new dinner dresses one notices
more than ever the tendency to make
the skirt very long. Sweeping trains
that absolutely wreck all chances at
moving about in the drawing room
are wound around the limbs of the fair
wearer, swing her the tall statuesque
pose which is so much admired.
The twisting of the skirts about the
limbs is fashionable fad and direc-
tons for doing it are thus given by
a modiste.
Walk into the drawing room" says
she, land when you have reached your
station, stand perfectly still d mo-
ment. Now turn slowly around and
the skirt will twist of its own accord.
You have now the fashionable statue
pose which commenced with Bern
hardt and has travelled into the world
of fashion

After years absence, John Kelly
returned home recently from Japan,
disappointed in his heart, and hun
dreds of cheap watches in his trunks.
He had gone to Japan with a little
private cargo of watches of low price.
expecting to sell them at handsome
profit to the natives. But he found. in
&okio, in Yokohama and the other
towns he visited, that the natives had
factories wherein they made large
quantities of timepieces as good as his
own in quality and much lower in
price. These factories were owned by
wealthy Japanese, but their foremen
were Americans who had been brought
out, at big salaries. to run the plants.
Mr.. Kelley was not long in learning
that it was useless for him to try to
compete with the native watchmakers
of Japan. He repao ked his trunks,
therefore, and returned home hurrid-
ly.-Philadelphia Record.

It has been left to the smart Paric-

dered hair. 1t is not the white pow

over the locks which composed the
coiffures of our grandmothers, but
colored powder.
The finished coiffure is but ligatly
busted with the new delicate-tinted

much like The reflection thrown on the
hair by colored veil, and the novelty
is certainly not without its attractions
pale pink was the first color used
though now many shades OF pink have
been pressed into this service. and
with very few exceptions, it is blond
hair that receives this fine veil of col
oring. On dark hair deeper-toned
powder, almost crimson in color, is
sometimes to be seen, but a peculiar
bronze shade Of powder is the most
