Fashions in skirts.

Chatting about the skirt of the mo-

known fashion authority touches on
the short skirt so popular at present
among women of the metropolis for
walking. She says:
Perhaps the difficulty Of lifting the
full pleated skirt when one encounters
real mud or wet pavements has had
something to do with the shortening
of the skirt, but whatever the cause,
the result is here. Many women have
their skirts cut barely to clear. but
the most fashionable women, unless
their figure absolutely forbid it.; are
wearing their short skirts really short
enough to be practical. The mode is
not becoming to all and not impera tive
but there Is much to be said in favor

nothing more hopelessly ugly and awk,

Black taffeta is modish material
for little wraps.
The demand for lace on gowns and
wraps is unabated.
The little shoulder cape is a whim
OF fashion, and ii is particularly smart
in linen.
Baby ribbon, braid and fancy stitch
ing are the three favorite trimmings of
the season.
Faggoting in all colors comes in the
local shops, and in white it is espe-
cially pretty.
Almost any dress that has suffi-
clent amount of material in it and
enough puffs and shirrs, is in keeping
with the demand.
Some of the costumes which are con-
sldered de trop have really no begin
ming or end. They are simply frou-
frou looking and extremely feminine.
Batistes, plain and fancy, are en-
ployed to a great extent for the elabor-
ate summer frocks, and it makes up
quite the prettiest of any material on
the market.
Irish and Val. laces are used separ-
ately in combination. The handsomest
irish lace shows heavy raised flowers.
These add to its richness and beauty
ana incidentally quadruple the cost
Cooler than the long gloves, and
hence quickly launched into popularity,
are the adjustable cuffs OF lingerie, or
of lace, reaching from the wrist to the
elbow, and ready to be basted into
place at moments notice.
The prevalence OF simple outlines and
the increased liking for the plain gored
skirt has surprised quite a number Of
fashionable modlsts, as they were more
than sure that these old-fashioned
ideas had entirely left the minds Of
smart women.
One of the newest and most fashion-
able silks is called radium, and as its
name implies. Il is soft Glmy and has

and other woods, and variations upon
this idea. with trimmings of lace, are
used for the sheer materials.
All of the various skirt Innovations
suggestive of panniers have met with
indifference or disapproval at the hands
of womanklnd. although some of the
great Partisan dressmakers have been
inslstent in exploiting the tentative
hip draperies, and a few fashionable
women have accepted the idea. Pan
niers may come, but evidently their
day is not yet. and. despite the full
ness OF skirt bottoms we seem to be
in no real danger of hookskirts, though
fashion alarmists fill space in fashion
journals with discussion of the threat
ened crinoline.
The encroachment of the trained
skirt upon the province of the round
skirt is more aud more perceptible. and
it is fairly safe to assume that by the
time the winter season comes the
trained skirt will have regained much
of the vogue it has lost during the
last year. The very full skirt full at
the waist and adorned with much hori-
zontal trimming. was irreconcilable

bore no such handicap and women
love the trailing skirt because it gives
grace and length to the figure.

used, but, save in the case Of lace or

To Attain Grace of Figure.

Young women can attain grace of fig
ure and prevent a superabundance of
flesh by the following exercises: Stand
on tip-toe with both arms-hands firm
ly clasped-eNtended over the head.
This will reduce the flesh below the
waist, cultivate beautiful curves in the
arms, help to fill out the chest and
will increase the height if the exercise
is practiced with persistency. Try
TO stand in this position as long as
possible.
Another exercise which will give
poise is to stand solidy on one foot,
extending foot and arm outward, and
stretch the arms at the same time.
When the left foot is stretched out the
right arm should be extended. and vice
versa, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.

The House Beautiful gives some good
ideas for Frightening up the home
rooms and hiding at the same time
worn and faded chair covers. "In
many households it is the custom to
cover n dozen or so of the chairs in
attra active chintZes and to distribute
them through the house-a small rock
er with a Scotch rose cover in one
bedroom, big wing chair with gor-
seous hollyhocks in another, lounge
with green oak leaves in another, and
a sewing chair with narrow flower
stripes in the sewing-room. The de-
signs are chosen to harmonize with the
walls and add Il touch of freshness and
newness to rooms used all the year.
With this plan remnants may be util-
lied. and variety of designs selected.
Nothing brightens up a room more sue
cessfully, and nothing adds a crisper,
fresher touch than the transformed
rocker, armchair or couch. Under the
new cover may be faded rep or even
plush, but it is hidden from sight and
thankfully forgotten. The making Of
the covers requires cares. Tht old
way of piping the seams with a plain
color is not now in vogue. Seams are
hidden and careful fitting is necessary.
When well made the covers last for
several seasons. and are really an econ.
