The Newest Skirt.

1t is impossible to exaggerate the
value, from dress point of view OF
the clever cut Of skirt. Some Of those
which appear on models from Vienna
and Paris are so arranged as to fit
closely on the hips, yet without the
smallest suggestion of tightness. I'M
mediately below this point the fulness
begins to form itself in the narrowest
possible pleats, which widen naturally
and gradually toward the foot OF the
ekirt.
1t is difficult even to describe the
perfect effect of this clever cutting,
but perhaps some little hint may be
gathered from the fact that there is
seam down the front, while the back
the selvedge way Of the stuff comes
straight across. This will be clear to
those who dabble in home dressmak-
ing. The question as to whether they
could ever compass the skill to pro-
duce the skirt is another NATTER

Fashion Notes,

Jet buttons are so much favored as
to appear on white linen rigs.
Many of the blouses are tucked all
over, bodice and sleeves alike.
The fichu is one of the prettiest fin
ishes given to- the modern gown.
The elbow sleeve with full ruffles is
sometimes seen on evening gowns.
Fine black tulle makes an attractive
lining for fine chantilly yokes and
sleeves.
Carnations are seen on hats and
elsewhere. They are in high favor at
present.
Figured fabrics are to be the fad,
even in the modish serges and kindred
materials.
Cotton voile promises to be as pop
ular this season as during the past
two years.
Half of the new straws have plait-
ed effect, and some are Of the coarsest
description.
Little mantles of taffeta and satin
with printed ends and tassels are la
grande mode.
In spite of the great flower vogue
ribbons seem to have usurped first
place on hats.
The pointed waist line is novelty
after the straight across effects OF
the empire cut.
Fashionable morning hats are small
but for receptions and real occasions
they are large.
Blouse for everyday wear aer be.
ing made in fine soft material woven
with silk stripes.
With gown of black and brown
check is worn a guimpe of embroid'
cred brown filet net.
For dressy frocks cSffon cloth is
very nice. 1t washes and wears much
better than chiffon.
The sleeves of new blouses are gen
orally gathered leg-o-mutton, made to
fit close to the arm.
Coarse cotton nets that showed
signD of popularity last season are
| largely evidence again.
Double motor wells, joined only a,
the edges, are made up in green
brown or blue over white.
A locket down the center of the
back, when wearing low-cut frock
will make the neck look thinner.

Show Yourself Friendly.

Are you one of the girls who groan
about the stiffness OF other people?
II you are, stop groaning and see
where the fault lies, Generally you
will find that the stiffness begins at
home.
II you show yourself friendly you
rarely fail to meet frlendllness In re-
turn. This is busy world; most of us
have all we can do to look after our
own affairs, and II we meet strangers
half way we rather plume ourselves
Modern life may seem selfish and
standoilish to the newcomer, when 1t
is only rushed. We would be glad to
widen the circle of our friends II we
had time; not having 1t we open out
only to those who come In our way.
1t Is just here where the sensitive
girl gets hurt. She thinks advances
should not only be made to her but
followed up. II her calls are not re-
turned at regulation times she grows
resentful and snippy. II she does not
indulge in open upbralding of the Of
fender she is distant and naughty,
calling it proper se'f-respect.
The other woman may be uncon-
scious Of offence; she may have liked
the girl, but one thing and another
prevented showing that liking in a
tangible form. Seeing her cold and dis
agreeable when next they meet she Is
apt to think herself mistaken In her
first estimate and decide the stranger
is not worth cultivating.
A woman of social Importance said
of some friends of hers who had come
to live in her city.
81 can never establish the Blanks,
charming as they are. I've gone out Of
my way to be nice to them, have in
troduced them to all my friends, but
they are so sensitive and exacting
that they are positively rude to those
whom they think do not pay them
enough attention. Instead of showing
themselves friendly they think be-
cause they were important at home
they should be equally so here and
snub every one who does not instantly
pay them Difference"
People will not stand for such an
attitude. No stranger can expect to
take root Immediately; she who does
is only storing up for herself heart
aches and disappointment.
Often those whom we think stiff
are only retiring or shy. They find 1t
hard to express their feelings; may
even feel others do not care for them.
The next time you cross paths instead
of meeting ice with ice, try the thaw-
ing effect of smile or cordiality.
Be agreeable, responsive, willing to
do your part In acquaintance-making,
| though never obtrusive. Do not be on
the lookout for sights and you will
find fewer coming your way. To show
oneself friendly is the surest way not
to be lonely.-New York Press.

CEDAR FOR PENCILS.
The Only Wood Whose Price Is Al
ways Quoted by the Pound.


The lead pencil is one of the most
common articles in everyday use, and
since practically the only wood used
in its manufacture is red cedar and
since the pencil industry is steadily
growing (320,000,000 are manufactur-
ed annually in the United States), the
supply of red cedar is becoming great
ly depleted.
Red cedar has soft, straight grain
and is very free from defects when
properly grown. Because of ite pecu-
liar qualities no good substitute for II
has ever been found, and 1t is doubt
full II any other wood-using industry
Is so dependent upon single species
as the pencil industry is dependent
upon red cedar. 1t Is the only wood
the price of which is always quoted
by the pound
The popular belief Is that the Sec
ond growth red cellar never reaches
marketable size, says Country Life in
America, but the forest service has
made a careful study Of the subject
and has reached the conclusion that
it can be proftably grown in regions
of its development.
SomH changes are recommended in
the present forest management in or
der to secure the desired growth. In
the Southern forests it must have a
better chance instead Of being consid-
cred, as now, a negligible quantity in
its younger stages. Many of the for
est grown trees which are now cut for
fence posts can proftably be left to
attain their full development and thus
become aavilable for pencil wood.
