One dressmaker thinks she has hit upon
a pretty good solution OF the difficulty BY
making the dropskirt walking length, so
that, when milady essays to lift her yards

obvates some OF the difficulty. but not

to see this difference between the length

MISS MANHATTAN.
NEW YORK, February 9th, 1904


"You will be lifting your skirts from
the front instead OF the bec.. as the fash
ton is now" was the prediction Of one OF
our best dressmakers uttered not 80 very
long ago, and though women pooh pooled
the idea at the time they are already be-
ginning to find themselves In the position
OF being forced to abandon the old time
graceful method OF raising their trained
gowns.
The new fashion that calls for extra full
skirts Is entirely responsible for this
change and It's wonder to me why any
body with half an eye to artistic lines
could ever be persuaded to give up those
long clinging sheath skirts that were 60
universally becoming. Blu, there is no
use to wall over what cannot be helped.
Some body started the fashion Of making
people look like their grandmothers. so

IT may be that the tall woman has had
her day. and now her smaller sister Il to
enjoy an inning, but it wouldn't be quie
safe TO draw this conclusion. There is
100 much beauty in the tall willowy figure.

such fate is not in store for the woman

them to- find some excuse for Slipping the
stole over their declette shoulders and
winding 1t around their bare arms In the
evening. This fad probably originated
with those lucky women who are spend
Ing the first part OF the year In southern
resorts. Nearly all Of them took thell
smaller pieces OF fur. &C Just before they
started away from New York there was q
renewed interest In toles. especially
those OF ermne. For street or carriage
wear. when carrying n muff, the stole Is
held In the same manner. which after al
