OF the two really good styles Of holding
up the skirt at present one is TO grasp the
folds with the right hand at the back, but
a little to the left. and then TO pull them
round to the right hip and raise them a
little, so that the edge Of the skirt clears
the ground all around.
The other way. which has the advantage
Of not outlining the figure quite so much.
IL to fold n little horizontal pleat in the
skirt al the left side and lay il up over the
belt. drawing il n little toward the back,
by which means ii il quite raised from the
ground az the left side and back and only

This is 10y far the easier way for the arm

away after the fight was over the big bear

pain, He was 30 badly torn up that ne

OF course, none Of TIA believed anything
else but that four disappointed bears had
lain in wait for the greedy burglar bear

salary. The white citizens of Kelso
are excellent people as a whole, many

a number of years ago and her return
to it was pleasure, and she was made
thoroughly welcome there. Messrs.

Their work is something fine and their
trade is excellent. They are kept busy
continually, sometimes having to hire
a number of assistants. This shows
what colOred man can do when he is
given half chance, and then when
the chance is given and he attends to
business as these gentlemen do he
thereby wins the confidence and re-
spect of his white customers and re-
tains it. The tailoring establishment

throughout British Columbia.
