This is cut in rolling effect, but with
square ends, something like the small

There will be no plain skirts this year.

There will be no plain skirts this year.
The word is final.
Trimmed skirts will not be much In
evidence, but pleats will be used on nine
out of ten of the models. At this edict
the majority Of women will rejoice. for
the plain, smooth fitting skirt is not be-
coming to all figures. while pleats can
be arranged to suit every type. There
is no hard and fast rule as to how the
pleats shall be arranged. as long as they
are a part of the skirt design.
The new skirts clear the ground and
gored patterns are preferred to the cir
cular. being more satisfactory. for pleat-
ing. but there is no fixed rule.
Some skirts are pleated all around the
waist from a narrow, plain, front gore
others display pleats in groups. A ia
vored model because it is generally be-
,coming, is the nine-gored skirt with a
pIeat let into each seam from just be-
low the knee to the edge of the skirt
Stout women will like this model, fol-
the reason that II the .pleats are made
deep and set in with accuracy the effect
is that of plain skirt, the pleats only
displaying themselves when the wearer
moves.
Tailor stitching is almost the sole dec
grafton, and the absence Of buttons is
marked, for those employed are for use
only.
The length of the coat is decided by

SPEEDWAY TO Be RESTORED
POTOMAC DRIVE FOR USE OF

Fine Stretch Of Road Again Avail
able for Matinees After Grading
Of Reclaimed Land.

The speedway for horses In Potomac
Park granted to the Road Drivers and
Riders Association of the District of Co
lumbia, which has not been available for
two wears on account of the grading of
the reclaimed land, is about to be re-
stored for the exclusive use of reinsmen.
Several conferences have recently oc-
Cured between Col. Cosby. commissioner
Of public buildings and grounds, and p. V.
DeGraw, president of the association. with
the result that the privilege has been
granted. to resume the use Of the road
way built at the expense of the member
ship Of the road drivers, until such time
as it becomes necessary to continue the
general improvement Contemplated in the
section involved. before which 1t Is the
intention, IL found to be practicable, to
establish q permanent speedway In that

During the occupancy Of the extension
OF 10Th street for speedway two years
ago that section OF the park became
very popular. and number of spirited
matinees were given. each of which was
attended by several thousand spectators.
The use of the speedway is for reins-
men OF high-class horses whose natural
ambition is to go fast, of which there
are large number in the District, and
whose owners find their recreation in ham
ding them. While 1t is not generally
appreciated, 1t Is a fact that while the
original speedway was available there

MUSICAL SANDS.
Natural Harmony Rises From the
Beach Near Poole Harbor.

From London Nature.
Some years ago the Poole authorities
erected a series of box groynes along
this coast between Poole Head and the
Haven. and these have considerably in
creased the natural accumulations of
sand.
The beach now between each groyne,
consists of wide and fiat deposits of sand,
shells and flint pebbles, but about mid
way between the. dunes and the sea,
where the sand is comparatively free
from these. musical zones are Of fire.
quent occurrence. !.
In walking along the shore in a west
erly direction, starting from the first
groyne, the sounding qualities OF the
sand notably increase.
IN q small cove at the point, formed
by the last groyne CONSTRUCTED of bar
rels of concrete and an old ship, the
sand is remarkably musical
The increase of sound observed when
walking in westerly direction is due,
think, to the fact that the prevailing
westerly winds, and the littoral drift,
separate the finer particles from the
sand and carry them eastward and a mi
croscopic examination of samples OBJ
tanned from distance about a mile apart
on this shore confirms this.
This musical sand is of the Sudland
bay type. and near the Haven gives
even better results than any l have
found there.
The occurrence of musical sands along
this particular shore through the con-
serving influence Of the groynes is an In
teresting fact, for their existence there
previously was very unusual being only
once noted In very small quantity during
the last twenty years.

For the Chaperon.

If it falls to your lot to chaperon
young folk, try not to feel 1t is IA
tiguing task, but recall how indefatiga-
BILE you were when you were young, and
with such remembrance uppermost
you may be able to let boys and girls
enjoy themselves.
1t really requires much strength and
endurance to be an ideal chaperon, for
youth is tireless In the pursuit of pleas
ure, and to keep up with this In mod
crate and reasonable degree requires
patience, sympathy and tact. for
young folk need careful handling. which
they doubly repay by obedience and by
responsiveness to the ideas Of their
elders.
Though it is, of course, your duty
when chaperoning to keep boys and girls
| within the confines of conventionality,
try not to be constantly correcting and
eurbing them. 1t is said that the word
don't is never used in Japanese fam
lilies. and sometimes 1t would seem as If
we use it too much.
Restraint, of course is necessary, but
the younger generation should not De
expected to act with the dignity ana
composure of their elders, and the chap
eron who exacts such. behavior is too
rigid.
Be the jolly companion OF the young
girls and young men, but while entering
into and enjoying their fun always keep
your dignity and preserve the line Whicn
makes them all the while aware tnat
you are in charge of them, that they
are responsible to you, and that yours
| is the voice of authority. To preserve
| this attitude is necessary, for without
| it you have no control, and when COM
plications arise they must recognize that
| their desires must give way To- your
| wishes, whether or not they like II;
| The young married woman in chape-
roning is sometimes thoughtless In lik-
| ing too much attention from the young
men-in fact, monopolizing sometimes
one of the bachelors and turning her
husband over to one of the girls or the
party. This Is not considerate or kind,
| for, however nice the husband of the
| chaperon may be, no one of the girls
will wish to be paired of with him and
| so be deprived of one of the bachelors.
| 1t is not necessary for the chaperon to
| give her society exclusively to her hus-
band, but she should not select any one
| Of the other men and NallOw him to be
constantly with her.
| A much older woman often chaperons
without her husband, and does not ex-
pect or desire the society Of the younger
men beyond the attentions and courte-
sizes which 1t is their part to give. She
makes herself graciously one of the
party under her wing. yet keeps a little
| in the background, a sympathetic OBJ
server of the fun going on.
