revival Of the day when skirts were
made by tearing off just so many
breadths of goods and sewing them
together UP and down the seams.
The skirt, after 1t has been sewed to-
gether as to the seams, is attached to
a band and is hung" The hanging
consists in making the skirt an inch
too long in front and six inches too
long in the back, as little seamstress
expressed it. And then in shirring it
around the hips.
The Pretty Hip Shirrings-
You take your hips and you shirr
them," so directed seamstress to an
apprentice. The seamstress quoted is
in charge of a large sewing room at
the top of a Fifth-avenue mansion,
where plain gowns are being made for
very fashionable mistresses to wear at
Newport next summer.
The material upon which the appren-
tice was working was a gun metal
gray foulard figured in blue. The skirt.
which was straight and fitted with
eight cores, had been hung" and was
now being shirred around the hips. In
this case the shirrings were to be
what is known as rope shirrings, and
a great deal of material had been al
lowed for the insertion of the rope"
Fashionable shirred hip yokes are
lowered a little in the middle of the
front and raised in the back. This
gives a pretty dip which can be ac-
centuated by a dipping girdle. which
can be worn without metal orna-
ment.
Scratch the gathers" sounded old
fashioned to modern ears, when a mod
iste handed a skirt which she had just
fitted to a fashionable patron over to
one OF her assistants. The skirt was
one which belonged to a cotton cheviot
shirt waist suit, and the gathers were
to be literally scratched all around the
belt. Then the hips were TO be
strapped with a stitched band of the
goods. The material, which was light
In weight, was in a soft willow green,
with pretty figures upon it,
1t was trimmed with bands of willow
green linen.
1t looks as though the day of the
full skirt had returned and as though
the vogue of the wide skirt would con-
tInue for some time. There is no dan
ger Of the crineline and very little
danger that skirts will be stiffened to
set out around the figure. The ten
dency is toward very soft materials
which will droop gracefully, no mat
ter how full the skirt may be built.

with gathered hips and long, flowing
lines that are the very elimination Of
poetry.
To make skirt hang just as it
should hang is the problem of the
dressmaker and, no matter how clever
she may be, she realizes her RESPONSE
bility. One subterfuge and pretty
one, is that of building skirt with
slot seams The skirt is box plated and
the plaits are inverted These are
stitched in the popular slot-seam style.
And the SLOTS" are left open to the
hips. They are stitched tight at the
belt line, but are opened just below the
hips. This makes the skirt very full
and it falls away in very long and very
graceful lines.
Another subterfuge is one that might
be called no subterfuge at all. The
skirt is fitted tightly at the hins. hnt

Let me show you an Alexandrine

times call it a yoke collar 1t is not
adjustable, but must be made upon the
gown. Its material is broadcloth."
Taking diamond shaped yoke collar
Of fine broadcloth, chiffon broadcloth it
is called, she pinned it to the shoulders
with quick touches. One point was
fastened in the middle of the back and
the other two points were brought
down over the shoulders and pinned
fat. The front was fastened under the
chin and held by a jabot of real lace.
The effect was decidedly Victorian.

That evening Grigon went to the

saying that his daughter was in the

They found her in the balcony.
Grigon seated himself beside her, and
Herr Richter walked away

Montresor were married. She wore
the Burmah buckle at her throat. The
following day the papers told how

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scrap. ed and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pi"es take the place of the diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressing are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries defore in fl lammation sets in, which causes them to heal without matura- ton and in one-third the time re- auired by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antisepic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. Italso allays thei pains and soreness.

ed claim in the probate court against

who from the first has questioned the
right ofs the physician to any share or

Il There are several different items
named in the list but the principal one
is aclaim for 100000, which DR.. Zeig-

Washington, Dec. 1o.-Enlargement of
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission is one of the questions
which will be pressed vigorously at the
present session of congress. 1t can be
said that in the mind of President
Roosevelt no problem more important
than this to all the people of the coun-
try is likely TO engage the attention
of congress this winter. NJ
In conferences with members of both
the senate and the house of rep7esenta-
tives the president has emphasized the
arguments he advanced in his message
i'll favor of an extension of the powers
/ of the interstate commerce connliss iefN
With several members he discussed the
subject today, earnestly advocating the
recommendation contained in his mes
sage. To two paragraphs in the mes
sage he has directed particular atten-
ton. In a talk with Representative
Graft Of Illinois he indicated these
points of the message: ~
Above all else, we must strive to
keep the highways of commerce to ali
on equal terms; and to do this it is
necessary to put complete stop to all
rebates.
