To BE or Not to Be-short skirted. .


Smart women who stopped in Paris
the past summer bent on gathering to-
gether a battery of new frocks, were
startled by the news that the long
trailing skirt is doomed, and that
short-quite short-ones are to be the
fashion. And yet many women are
still skeptical. A round of the tailors
and dressmakers is not very satisfac-
tory. One says: "It is true They are
to be short" Another says: 1--WE will
wait. 1t is in the hands of our Gus.

tinguished gowns are wonderful ,crea-

perfectly true that walking dresses are
no longer to be trained, but are to be

and that the afternoon toilette is Just
to touch the ground and no more.
Evening dresses are to remain long"
And she added that there Is to be a
new skirt for promenade affairs, par,
ticularly well and cunningly shaped,
and that, while it is not to be so full
as the "housemaid," it will be more so
than the sheath skirt, so long popular.
With it will be worn a three-quarter
coat, which will form distinct change.
Precisely the opposite opinion to the

Oh, the life one leads a-tramping,

A.faring in gypsy fashion

Set free as the winds in .springtime,
Heart-glad as the day is long,
Rejoicing in rain or sunshine,
In tune with the robins song.
Oh, the things one sees a-tramping!
The green, wild things that grow,
The gleam of the tall red lily,
The tangle of ferns below;
The gay, glad life of the tree-tops,
The shadows that slowly fall,
The long, still slope of the meadows,
And Gods sky over all!

A rapture of love and praise,
And will to make life the truer

Public Services Invaluable.
The people generally best know Mr..

devoted a great deal of time and study
to establishing it's validity with un-
varying success. He appeared for M.
j. Moriarty in the custer proceedings,
which, had they resulted successfully
for the contestants, would have GUST
ed all the city officials elected under
the new charter and rendered the
charter itself void. Mr.. Michaels case
was sustained by the courts and never
appealed.
Subsequent litigation touching the
powers of the police commission under
the charter was handled in the
supreme court by Mr.. Michael, who
volunteered his services, gratuitously,
for the purpose of defending the char
ter which the people had almost unani-
mously adopted. Again he was entire

the Democrats of the district can con-

Besides his commercial interests he
owns and runs one of the model big
