I have repeatedly rallied attention to the
confusion which exists in Government for
est matters because the work Is scattered
among three indepehqent organizations.
The United States is ethe only one of the
great nations in WHICH the forest work OF
the Government is pkfconcentrated under
che department, In fonsonance with the
plainest dictates of good administration and
common sense The present arrangement
is bad from every ponr.of view. Merely to
mention 1t is to pf5ve that it should be
terminated at once. r as l have repeatedly
recommended, all the, forest work of tha
Government should lbe concentrated in the
Department OF Agriculture. where the larg-
er part of that work IS already DONE where
practically all of the trained fores.rrs OF
the Government are employed, where
chiefly in Washington There Is comprehend
sive first-hand knowledge of the problems
of the reserves acquired on the ground.
where all problems relating to growth from
the soil are already gathered, and where
all the sciences auxiliary to forestry ara at
hand for prompt and effective cooperation.
These reasons are decisive in themselves.

BY MARY DEAN.

The yearly exodus for Florida and
other Southern winter resorts always
reveals charming fancies in the light
clothes so becoming to the fair. This
year the fripperies ordered by the
smart world for these fashionable win
ter resorts are more than ever sum-
merry and delightful. A ball-like, air-
ness distinguishes many of the gowns,
some of them being in brilliant hues,
matched by hats as startlingly gay.
The present English and French
fad for scarlet headgear admits of
stunning possibilities in these tropical
wardrobes, and where one headpiece
will be a wound turban in plain tulle
another tulle hat will be combined
with the long-haired beaver here EN-
ployed.
At the side or back of such big
structures-for the boat turbans are
clumsiIy big-wir be velvet and chif-
fon flowers in paler tints; scarlet with
deeper red. violet or mauve with pur-
pie, etc. The beaver used is of the
lightest possible weight, the intention

pies is common with the majority of
French women. and the others who
would be fashionable sometimes apply
false pieces at this point. These are
so delicately glued on, and are so life
like in effect that the trick is rarely
discovered, especially when madame
covers her false pieces with a veil, as
she does whenever possible. But even
if they are recognized it would not
matter, for artifcialities are the thing
in Paris, and plain common sense, to
speak truly, out of date everywhere in
dress.
In matters of underwear, the ward
robes carried to the South will contain
little that is not airy and beautiful.
Tho tiny spangled and painted fans
supplied are of the Louis epochs, and
the delicate loneliness of the frocks
worn necessitating elegant footwear,
some of the afternoon shoes-espe
cially those for carriage and hotel
are of satin in pale colors.
A largo lace rosette. or a single ar
tificial flower put on like one, are the
declIings for some high-heeled even
ing slippers. Stockings-but who
could describe them, such OPEN
worked, lace-inserted. embroidered
darlings as they are? Thin winged
swallows in black embroidery deck the
fronts of a white pair in spun silk,
which will soon astonish the natives of

the blouse where it is cut away To
show the under blouse or puff of all
over white lace. The sleeves are in
one piece with the yoke They fall
loosely, in graceful folds, to the elbow
Below this the arm is covered with the
full undersleeves of the lace, which is
finished at the wrist by a lace ruff1e
Braid ornaments extend from the high
standing collar, thus giving somewhat
of the effect of shallow cape collar
of braid.
The standing collar is of the velvet
braid trimmed. 1t is slightly open in
the front, with the ends turned back
so as to give a freer view of the
throat. A jabot of the lace, in appear
ance not unlike a vest, falls to the
waist line. There is a narrow crush
belt OF white silk fastened by a gilt
buckle.
Still more elaborate is a reception
gown of blue chiffon velvet, lace and
mink. The skirt is fitted to the fig
ure and, as far down as the knees
is the pattern of simplicity. But this
is only from a desire to affect a slen-
der figure, for below the knees the
skirt is covered with a mass or
frivolous ornamentation. There are
two full applied flounces, the upper
one of lace and the deep lower one
of dotted net edged with lace. The
upper fiounce is adorned with applied
squares of the velvet and a mink band
ing, which is set on just below the lace
heading. The lower f1ounce has a mini
banding half way down it's length.
The waist takes the form of a short
slightly bloused jacket, with looss
fronts, which are a cross between
stoles and Tevers. These are richly
trimmed with lace applique and with
braid npda1IiOnS Of raduata5 -

larly trimmed. The full velvet sleeves
are cut in points to the elbow, the bet-
ter to show the full undersleeves Of
the dotted net. These latter are drawn
in at the hand into a narrow band of
the mink, and are finished by a wide
lace ruffle.

JACKETS FOR
BOUDOIR WEAR
ARE LUXURIOUS

Judging from the bewildering dis
play of negligee wraps to be seen in
all the best shops, the tea jacket is
considered passe. Instead of all the
exquisite detail of bows and furbelows,
which have characterized this gar
ment, the newest effects call for some
dainty but simple little affair which
may be- slipped on at odd moments.
OF these there are no end, and there
is no excuse for woman to lounge
in an unbecoming dressing sacque.
One of the luxuries of the season,
which ranks with the necessaries is
a short negligee which is called
kimoIia, but which bears no resepA
blance to this garment. 1t is cut so
that it falls in pointed effect front and
back and at the sleeves, making four
points in all. One of the daintiest
ones shown is made of soft white
silk wolfe and is lined with baby blue
china silk, the color of which shows
through the wolfe. 1t is finished with
deep bands of the silk.
Another pretty idea is the shawl
