much desires to wear the right thing,
but has no confidence in her own judy
ment. Authorities declare that Ameri-
cans should in this matter, as well as
in other requirements of dress, be
something of law unto themselves
conditions there being different from
those obtaining in France. American
women walk more than do the French,
and need a suitable pedestrian skirt.
There is good promise that the instep
skirt. which we did try to do without
for a few years, is back again as an
established thing, not to be affected by
French caprice.
Rich and poor, all count the walking
skirt an institution, absolutely neces-
sity. The dealers have perfected it so
it to-day is a very handsome part of
the costume, and comes in several cuts.
Once it was strictly utilitaraina, and
had no style about it; but its deficien-
cies have been studied, and we find at
last that desirable combination of util-
ity and good appearance. 1t may be
killed. it may be gored, and even some
are made of the circular style.
One sees no one nowadays holding
nm a long skirt. For the house the all
round length is favored, but eschewed
for street wear. This winter we may
have afternoon and evening gowns
with longer, fuller skirts, but even this
is more or less problematical.
For wear with the short skirt, there
is strong prospect that the straight
front fitted coat will be preferred.
Vests may continue to be feature OF
wraps, but it is pretty early to proph-
esy concerning this. The jacket for
the short suit reaches below the waist
line, a basqued affair resembling the
old-fashioned riding habits.

African Hospitality.

Hospitality may be considered as
one of the characteristics of not only
the Veis, but Of the whole African
race. 1t is considered the duty OF
every citizen to entertain strangers
without the smallest compensation.
Places of rest stand always open, and
when these are found occupied by
strangers, a man goes and tells his
wife, who will send her servants with
water for the strangers to wash their
feet; for, as they wear no shoes, they
naturally need such accommodation.
Afterward DON and cloth wrappers
are given them, food is brought from
all quarters, Or they are invited to
eat with the people.-The Century.
