Novel Skirt HOnQer

There have been numberless devices
on the counters for the proper hanging
up OF skirts. but none Of them posses
ses the merits OF an entirely new article,
for II not only keeps the skirt IN proper
shape, but also is simple in operation.
The hanger is a fiat bar of nickel, with
two extra strong fat spring clasps at
either end, and is nickel plated so that
II cannot rust The contrivance has a
hook in the center OF the bar 20 hang il
up by. and underneath the bar there is
another hook which slips through the
placket Of the skirt and prevents il
from sagging. In order to have the
skirt hang properly one must fold the
band Of the skirt back and front to-
gether. then attach the clasps to the
band, and the skirt will hang perfectly
even, and will not sag.

fornality that cannot be regarded as
desirable from any point Of view. and is
unquestionably largely responsible for
the hail fellow well met" manner that
one sees so much between men and girls
who have but the shortest acquaintance.
The objections to putting on a bath
ing suit at 10 o'clock in the morning.
for instance. and keeping it on until
noon, are so many that one wonders
how IL ever became so general a custom.
Bathing suits are becoming TO girls in
pictures or possibly in summer opera
choruses. but the young woman who
looks pretty or attractive as she walks
across the beach ready to go in SWIM
ming is a rarity.
Any vestige of charm that she may
have is entirely gone when once she
has had a breaker go over her, and
when her hair becomes soaking II is
courag geous TO the point of recklessness
to allow herself to be seen by any but
herself or maid.
Wet hair will make a professional
beauty look like a fright.
The effect upon her skin Of having the
sun beat down after she is wet with
salt water is ruinOus- She not only
burns, freckles. or tans, which would
be bad enough, but her complexion be-
comes dried and toughened and she is
well under way on the quick road to
fine lines and wrinkles. At eighteen or
even twenty-five she may not mind this,
but AT twenty-eight she will be remorse-
ful
When it comes TO the ethical side Of
the bathing suit habit" one cannot
but deplOre it. There Is a certain funda-
mental underlying respect that man
should have for femininity which he
cannot have when II is put upon such
a common or familiar basis l do not
&c so far as to say that for men and
girls TO loaf around for hours in bathing
suits is degrading to the girls, but II
may very easily become so, and insen-
sibly barriers are broken down that
would much better be kept up
A certain genueness and refinement
are lost. a girl becomes Indifferent to
the small graces, she lacks a dignity
of carriage and In a word she becomes
more or less common" 1t Is irlpOs-
sible that It should be otherwise. and
If a mother would keep her daughter
sweet and well hammered the bathing
suit habit Is one that will be sternly
interdiCted
Equally If a woman does not wish to
have herself discussed among men as
they do members OF the front row OF
the chorus she viii refrain from putting
herself in precisely the same garb for
inspection that one sees on the stage.

Why not be well bred even when go

women from the time they don bathing

The Home Garden

Old-fashioned fuchsias are not often
seen these days, but woman who is
contemplating window gardening this
winter would do well to have a couDle

are graceful and effective In the plant
Slipping is not difficult. even for an
amateur. and consists in cutting n

into very sandy soil. This should he

weeks, or more, when it should have
rooted Then transplant. II several clip
pings are taken from one plant the old
root should be thrown away.
In planning for the winter window box
1t Is better TO buy small rather than
large plants Of any kind, and nut in
boxes with space enough to grow. The
plants should be watered morning and
night, but not drenched.
No window box was ever complete
without geraniums. not only be rause the
plants are easily grove. but because
they blossom prof'--oiy. Petunias should
not be forgSSten. for though the flowers
are -~--ssnable, the scent is delicate and
exquisite shades may now be secured.
There is wide range of color in aza-
leaS and the blossoms are scattered over
the plant with an irregularlty that IS
most attractive. One of these plants
with blossoms of rich orange color is
quite an addition TO a room tl.at is fur

A beautiful orchid that looks its best
