the skirt is to hang and fit we'll. There
must be no resemblance to the oldtime
gored skirt. The folds must fall in
straight lines, changing gracefully with
every movement of the body, yet the
extreme fulness beginning high above
the knee. Just below the hips in fact, must
swell to still greater dimensions at the
foot.
In some instances, particularly in the
case of the frilled or flounced skirts,
this effect is achieved by circular
flounce of great depth set upon a top also
somewhat circular in cut, but less far
ing. The Jennings must be hidden under
stirring. putting, ruching or some other
trimming, and this trimming must be
repeated above or below the line OF
union so that no suggestion of the added
fiounce may be given.
FIounces are not fashionable, but they
must be frankly full fiounces, often cut
altogether on the straight and many
with outstanding headings Of corded
shirring, putting, etc, The circular
founce as a scheme for attaining cor
rect skirt lines is regarded as comics
sion of inability to obtain the result
in a more skillful way, and so is not to be
acknowledged.
Where skirt yokes are used at all, they
are shallow and consist of lines of corded
stirring, shocking or gauging. Occa-
sionally one sees yoke effects in vertical
tucks or plaits, but this is, as rule a
concession to some special heaviness or
stiffness of material.

HORSES FEAR OF FUR.
Some Act So Badly at Sight of 1t 8
Fur Robe Becomes a For
hidden Comfort.

"This horse pretty nearly killed my
wife," said the man, angrily, land you
told me he was, very safe when / bought
aim of you
The horse dealer looked perplexed,
says the New York Times. 81 assure
you that l thought he was. What did
he do?"
''Well, he's been so kind and gentle
during the six months we've had him
that my wife used to harness him her
self occasionally. Yesterday she went
out into the stable, already dressed for
driving, with fur boa around her neck,
and started to help the man finish buck
ling the straps. The horse put his head
down into her boa and made one leap
into the air. He reared and kicked and
nearly trampled on her, and finally
broke away and rushed madly around
the yard. We had the deuce of a time
catching him again. And the strangest
thing is that he will not permit my wife
to go near him to-day. He acted like a
regular devil every time she came within
two yards of him. Now will tell me
what ails him."
Nothing more than ails all western
horses" replied the dealer. This horse
came from the far west and all those
horses are desperately afraid of fur.
Some Of them act SO badly that it is i'm
possible to use fur blankets in the car
riage, and it is simply impossible to
throw a fur robe over their backs.
don't know whether they think it is
some wild beast or just what the trouble
is, but we have that trouble with nearly
every western horse we handle. OF
course, I'll take this horse back if you
say so, for your wife will never be able
to go near him again, and 1 suppose 1
should have been thoughtful enough to
tell you of this popularity. Now if you
will find me remedy for this foolish
fear Of theirs I will be extremely CRATE

The Japanese deities are as kindly
and gentle-hearted as the people
themselves. Their story of the crea-
ton is quaint, and wholly without the
elements of slaughter and dissension
which are the groundwork in other
Hydrologic accounts of the same
event. Two gods (whose very lengthy
names may be shortened to Izanagi
and IzanamD, standing upon the
bridge of Heaven, cast grains of rice
abroad to dispel the darkness. They
then pushed a spear down into the
green plain of the sea, and stirred it
round. This spear became the axis
of the earth, started it revolving, and
by a natural process of consolidation
brought about the dry land :.

Here is real Japan, in all its truth
and purity, and here the real Japanese,
the most simple-hearted creature
breathing, whom we of the western
world know nothing of, lives his sim
pie life and dies his simple death.
For that is the keynote of Japanese
character-simplicity And it brings

handmaiden of nature.
Many are the curious customs, GU
rious to us, which are matters of com
mon habit in Japan. Up to late years
the facial charm of femininity has
been rigidly restricted to the young
and unmarried for after the we'd
ding ceremony the bride, as mark
of honor to her husband, must blacken
her teeth and shave her eyebrows.
But even this, an immemorial OBJ
servance, is yielding to the advance
of knowledge and the reports Of the
travelled and more enlightened, and

The visitor, especially one who has
sojourned in India, China, and other
eastern places. is at once struck by the
extreme cleanliness of Japanese cities,
by the entire absence of beggars in the
streets, and of those degraded crea-
lures who swarm in the great CAPT
tails. The street cries are all melo-
dious, and the avoidance of noise is
everywhere the first consideration.

Partisan makers will be advocating by
the time the full skirt of the present
mode is universally popular here.
While the latest skirts are fulled or
plated into the waist band and the skirt
yoke is practically out of fashion in
Paris, many devices are contrived to les
sen the fullness around the hips and pre-
serve a somewhat clinging effect at that
point. A series of sharp cores in the
skirt top are employed by some of the
great dressmakers.
These extend to a point below the
hip line. where the ample fulness be-
gins; bat the cores lessen the amount of
material to be fulled or plated into the
band, and the skirt top may be fulled
slightly at the waist line and still avoid
any awkward excess of material at the
band or over the hips.
In soft lightweight materials for early
spring such precaution is hardly nee
essary, though even here careful cut
ting and slight goring are demanded if
