Paris Pattern No. 2490, All Seams
Allowed.-For the new bordered ma
terials, or the skirts of the frock made
of any of the thin summer materials.
these one-piece models are being used
extensively this season. The fullness
Is distributed in groups of narrow
backward-turning tucks, three tucks to
each group, which gives full and
pretty flare around the foot. The
closing is made under an inverted box
plat at the center-back, and unless
made of the bordered goods is finished
with wide hem. In thin serge, fan
mel, mohair, or Panama, this is a
pretty and stylish model. The pattern
is in three sizes-13 to II years. For
a miss of Is years the skirt made of
bordred goods requires 31a yards 35
inches wide; or of other material it
needs 71a yards 20 inches wide. 4A
yards 36 inches wide. 3 a yards AZ or 54
inches wide.
To procure this pattern send 10 cents
to Pattern Department" of this paper.
Write name and address plainly, and be
sure to give size and number of pattern

newer than gray hair or a wrinkle.
During the Directory it was one of Q
thousand styles. Paris was mad,
crazy at that time. License reigned in
everything, especially ia dress and
manners, but even Paris did not care
for the style any longer than the three
months, and if dear old naughty Paris
drew the line it would seem that we
ought to cut it out"

drawing room, OF the auto, not OF the
business or the professional world.
"a few years ago business and pro-
fessional women saw in the adoption
of the tailor mades, the short walking
skirt and various other utilitarian
modes a disappearance of the lines OF
demarcation between classes. To-day
they are looking with dismay at the
chasm that is opening.
"Take the sheath skirt as example.
A working woman must eliminate that
from her wardrobe. She could not ap-
pear in court, at her business desk in
it, not only because it would be
physically impossible for her to do her
work so swathed, but also because it
would bring into business and profess
sional life the very feminine element
she is trying to keep away.
THE sheath skirt woman is opposed
body and soul to her seX's freedom.
The gowning of to-day is a challenge.
Use all the arguments you have at
your disposal, one woman says to her
sister of the other world, and we will
destroy them with the waving of a
scarf and the curve of a figure in a
clinging gown"
An expert on woman's dress who
has given 81 years of his life to its
study poohpoohs the idea that there is
any such psychology in dress.
Nothing of the kind" he says, firm
ly. He says it as one who knows. II
do not think it is necessary to find
occult explanations for such obvious
facts.

To one of the conservative stores

There is a sudden stampede, and in
the midst of it the patron, with a
scorching look at the crushing crowd,
which will hardly allow her to move,
makes her way to the entrance and
thence with flying leap enters taxi,

New York.-Mixed in with all the
other burning questions of the hour is
the problem, to sheathe or not to
sheathe? You can get as many diff
ferent opinions as there are people to
consult. 1t does not seem to affect the
seaside hotels so much. AS long as
there are beaches and bathing the i'm
portance of the feminine costume with
regard to the success of the season is
small.
But with the managers of the noun
tain resorts it is different To quote
one of them:
It's all very we'll to talk scenery
and sanitation, the lovely views and
the good food-that used to go, but
when a man can take boat or an auto
and get all these in an hour or two
from Broadway he isn't going to take
a hot, dusty ride for the same result.
If we could sprinkle few of these
sheath skirts along the mountain
verandas there is no doubt that the
extremely painful sight so familiar to
the managers at present, of an Adam

Paris Needed the Money.

Paris Needed the Money.
THE truth of the matter is THAT
Paris is hard up. She has suffered
severely from our little panic. Russia
too, one of her wealthy patrons, haB
also fallen off in her orders. Paris
hasn't known what to do and has put
her wits to work to evolve something
to appeal to jaded taste and above
all to the American market.
Whether we will prove gullible
cannot say, for it is as difficult to
prognosticate here as in the publish
ing or the theatrical world. When
The Old Homestead runs thousand
nights you are surprised when the
people suddenly demand The Soul
Kiss; when the romantic drama
seems to be absorbing the literary
world and writer's are busy studying
history, the taste veers and nothing
but Dolly Dialogues will sell; when
you think women are at last cutting
out the futile and adhering more close
ly to utilitarian standards they shrek

hamper their walk, as Chinese wom-
ans shoes bind her feet.

never really present anything new.

petticoats need not be worn and the
waist and hip lines should not
be destroyed by lot of un-
necessary material. These bloom
ers fit closely to the figure
and are fulled slightly above the knee
not too much, mind-and have a few
rows of lace put on without very much
surplus, just sufficient to give the
dainty and feminine touch to gar
ment which is not essentially attrac-
tive.
"All the models in his place wore
these bloomers at first with the sheath
skirts. Now silk tights or fleshings
are worn if required, as many women
who wear the sheaths prefer them,
just as many prefer to spoil their
shape with the intrusion of the old
style petticoat or drop, which should
never be worn with them.
Producing the Soft Fall.
"The soft fall about the feet which
is so much admired by the aesthetical-
ly inclined is produced by various de-
vices, usually small shot which are
sewed to band of tape, which in turn
is fastened to the edge of the skirt or
few inches from the edge, as pre-
ferred. Paquin used a rubber band at
the knee which went around the skirt
and drew it in to give the required eff
feet when walking, and some of the
sheath skirts have two rubber loops
through which the foot passes, but
this style, although it gives the sheath
walk all right, is very trying to an ac-
tive minded woman, as she must never
forget them, and while she may not
mind the self-consciousness she does
mind the discomfort.
II remember one of my first views
of the new sheath skirt was at the
Paquin establishment, and a model
one of those lovely girls they have
there-began joking and laughing and
insisted that she could step just as
far in a sheath skirt as in other kind
She tried it and tore the costume all
to pieces along the sides. After that
the sheath walk was adopted, which is
the necessary result of the bands and
shot"
Another buyer thought there had
been unnecessary fuss over the sheath
skirt.
