The Comma Width OF skirts.

No ono can lay down any rule for
the making and cut of the skirts of
the immediate future. but everything
points to their being shorter and much
fuller. We are copying the idea of
them from some Of the mcdiaoyal
dresses. that were much gathered and
plated TO within some inches below
the waist. Such skirts are generally
trimmed round with bands of some
contrasting material trimmed square
at the neck with lace. the sleeves
puffcd from the gatherings on the
shoulder to above the wrist. where
there are more gathers. You can see
plenty Of these skirts just now on the
stage, where there are many cx.
amples Of skirts which just touch the
ground.

BLUE JAY Is PRoFANE.
Bad Habit Not Confined Solely to the
Human Family.


"Did you ever hear a blue jay
swear?"
The speaker, one Of the ornitholo-
gists OF the Academy Of Natural Sci.
ences. smiled during the silence that
followed his question aud then pro
ceeded:
We'll, have; lots Of times. have
often laughed heartily at the profan.
ity OF the blue Jay. This bird only
swears when II is cracking hickory
nuts. The hickory has a pretty con.
cret. solid kind Of shell. and to break
II open the blue jay has to hit Il very
hard.
"He perches himself on fence raj
with the nut between his claws. H.,
holds the nut firmly on the wood.
and. drawing back his head to the ut.
most limit OF his neck. he bangs away
with his bill-biff! biz! biff!-until
the shell breaks.
1T is when he misses his aim that
the blue jay swears-when he strikes
his foot instead Of the nut with his
bill He carries on dreadfully then.
He acts like a man who had banged
his fingers with hammer. Throwing
the nut far from him he hops around
on one foot. and the air Is filled with
the most horrible oaths.
Really, Joking aside" the orni'
biologist concluded. "a blue jays
voice, when. he hits his foot In crack
ing q nut, IL the most angry. most
penetrating thing In the worlds
chatter OF rage and pain and disgust
that can be heard 100 yards across
the fields"

Of II may not be advisable. there's no
