Lest in your unrewardcd hand you

In lifes cage kiss this singing glory

And find bruised petals where the rose

Newest Wrinkles Of Fashion.

The short skirt is constantly becom-
ing reviled as ungraceful and unbe-
coming and all dressmakers are APP
parently in league against it, but the
fashion has gained such a secure foot
hold that it is not likely it will ever be
abolished for WALKING suits.
A smart cloth gown means an i'm

man never looks better than when, ap-
propriately gowned in some neat, in
conspicuous patterned, business-like
street costume, she sallies out for a
