SKIRTS FOR WINTER.
New Garments are Made in Three or
Four Ways.

Skirts are made in one of three or
four different ways. But just for the
moment, the favorite is the plated
straight skirt. But it all depends upon
the material after all and the fancy
plated skirt with the plaits set in be-
low the hips is model that is much
worn.
Where materials will permit the ruff
fed skirt is popular, and the skirt,
consisting of two deep rufes, each
one-half the depth Of the spirit, is
selected as the model in soft silks and
poplins.
The seven gored empire skirt is one
of the best models. This is a plain
walking skirt. 1t is fitted around the
hips, but spreads widely below. It is
made without ornamentation of any
kind, but is finished with two or three
plain bands around the foot. These
bands are of velvet, sewed upon the
upper edge only, so as to set out well
and make a pretty finish for the skirt
The five gored skirt is also one OF
the popular designs. but it needs to
be trimmed, and the wide, handsome
border of heavy lace around the bot
tom is favorite way of trimming this
style Of skirt. Still another popular
method is that of applying a rufHe
about a foot wide, with a heading Of
lace, or with a piping of silk, or some
fiat velvet bands
The killed skirt is much in evidence.
and there are skirts that are made
with the plaits turning back sharply
from the front They are wide and so
arranged as to leave a very broad
front panel, which is ornamented in
some manner This wide front panel
may be trimmed with lace or with
braided design.

the beautiful winter gowns that are
trimmed with lacy materials one is
forced to change ones mind as to the
use OF lace on winter gowns. Many Of
the handsomest winter costumes are
trimmed with flmy materials Lace

Ribbon Trimmings,

For trimming children's afternoon
dresses ribbons will be used a great
deal. A last years dress can be made
to look like new if ribbon is skill
fully used. Velvet, satin, gros- grain,
and tafeta ribbons are the ones used.
The trimming can be put on in almost
any way one wishes.
Another trimming is plaid material.
A dress of plain cloth is trimmed with
bias bands of plaid or check material
OF some contrasting shade.
Bralds are particularly fashionable
for trimming both adults and chill
dren's dresses, and they are seen in
many beautiful varieties.

Hat TRIMMING Him.

The merely dower-adorned hat is
becoming hackneyed, but the idea is
still being carried out by the milli-
ners. az it has met with so much fay-
or. The simple field blossoms and
grasses look quite exquisite in con-
junction with new felt hats, of rich
butter color. White hats are still seen
with the trimming of pure white
roosters' feathers. Velvet ribbon is
making its appearance as a hat trim
ming, and it is very successful when
mingled with illusion net. Brims are
lined with. colored or black silk. OF
else little bias covers the edge

French SeEts.

Parisians are wearing very elab-
crate leather belts. the leather being
much fooled and gilded after the
fashion of OLD bindings having solid
gold buckles. With an ingenious eye
for effect many women are wearing e
them back to front. the deep buckle
coming in front. while the narrower
one, with its holes for adjusting, goes
at the back. This plan gives pretty
sloping line to the waist. The striped
leather belt is very fashionable TO;
the moment. The belts are of white
suede and the stripes, about half 3n
inch wide, run across. These have
nothing at the back, and are fastened
in front with wide square or Byzan-
tine buckle of bronze or gold.

Seed Potatoes.

In the cutting of seed potatoes, it
has been found advisable not to leave
too many eyes to each piece. Too
many stalks means light stalks, which
can be blown down more easily than
large stalks. Probably too many
stalks mean too many roots and the
formation Of too many tubers for
many of them to be of good size Lit
tie potatoes are not marketable, no
matter how good the variety may be.
For some years there was quite fu-
rore for the growing of potatoes from
whole potatoes as seed, but there is
probably nothing gained by this prac-
lice, and there is q considerable loss
Of seed material. Probably the very
old practice of cutting to two eyes is
% good rs any.

LATIN PLAY AT BARNARD
how That the Romans for One Thing
knew How TO Dress Comfortably.

NhtW
Wouldn't it be great IL we could go
aroun in sandals? Those old Romans
knew a thing or two about comfort Such
comments could have been heard yester-
day anywhere in the audience while the
Barnard Classical Club was presenting
some scenes from the -PharmiQ' OF Terence,
its first attempt at producing aIatin play.
To be sure nobody except a few members
Of the faculty and the actors themselves
knew what it was all about, but all the
girls agreed that il was more fun han
anything given at the college this year.
Miss Maria Young, who played Phdrnto,
made a great Impression in a white toga,
blue capt and flesh colored stockings.
The old Romans wore no stockings at all,
but Miss Young ecided TO make a con-
cession to our modern prejudices.
The best acting was done by Miss Anna
Anthony, az Chrem e8, IN old henpecked
husband. Chremes had an absentminded
way Of holding on his beard in his most
violent speeches, and occasionally HE. arm
came through the wrong opening OF his
toga, but the audience often knew what he
violently spoutingt the best Terentian Latin.
The other members of the cast were
Miss Maria Reardon, Miss Elisa Schachtel,
Miss Maria Hufeland, Miss Louisa Oden-
crantz and Miss Mildred Kerner.
Much credit for the great success of the
performances is due to Prof. Knapp of the
Latin department, who coached the play,
and to his colleague, Prof; Young, who
personally superintended the draping of
the costumes.
The entire programme was written in
Latin and the audience was welcomed
in a Latin speech by Miss Emma Lay, the
president Of the club,

Justice Bowling in the Supreme Court
decided yesterday that the divorce obtained
in Virginia six years g by Eva B. N, Ran
som against Porte V. Ransom. son Of ex-
Surrogate Ransom. wa invalid in this State
and that therefore Ransom is. entitled IN an
absolute divorce because Of Mrs. Ransom's
subsequent marriage with George L. Brown
ing OF Virginia.
The Ransoms were married in 1890. but
In 1895 the wife left her husband to return
10 her home in Virginia. She came back
later. but left him again the following year.
when shc began her suit for divorce in
Virginia. Ransom alleged that he had
never been served with the papers in the
suit. and that therefore, under the decision
Of the United States Supreme Court in
the Haddock case, he was entitled 70 a d.
voTce because Of her remarriage. Justice
Bowling finds that no Jurisdiction was ever
obtained over Ransom, although the facts
would seem 20 entitle the wife 20 a divorce,
and that under theee circumstances there
