be larger. At least they look larger
whether or not there are more inches
added to their size. The fact that hips
must be smaller than ever under the
full skirts and that the belt has gone
back to its normal position on the
waist may have something to do with
the extra number of inches that ap-
parently have been gained. Then the
broad satin belt that IS so much a
feature of almost every gown adds to
the effect of width for it is not worn
perfectly fiat and tight to the figure,
but Is in soft. draped folds. and is not
al exactly the normal waist-line, but
a little above. adding to the rather
thick and short wasted effect.
Among the seasons novelties is the
double skirt and the underskirt of one
material and the overskirt of some
thin transparent fabric recalls the
days gone by when all scarfs and
draped effects were fashionable and
when ladies were taught how to wear
the scarfs and shawls. A white satin
gown completely hidden under trans
parent heliotrope or mauxe wolfe shows
the fashion to perfect. The satin is
plain, most carefully hung and fitted.
with only little of the wolfe, which
are caught up adm turned over and
then again the end is caught up under
the belt at the side.
Another peculiar novelty is to have
half the skirt of one material, the
other half of some different kind of
fabric. Dark blue serge and black
satin are thus combined. while sing
ularly effective is another gown with
the lower part of the skirt of imita-
ton sealskin or velvet and the upper
part of hand embroidered chiffon in
the same color. The waist always
matches the upper part of the skirt.
so as TO give as long and unbroken
line as possible, for this combining of
two materials has a tendency to cut
the figure unbecomingly Less trying
TO the figure is the line with decided
bias effect, one side of the skirt in
cloth or velvet and the other in silk.
For evening wear the founced
skirts are not yet very popular, but
more of them are coming In as the sea
son progresses and the costumes of 1860
are evidently destined once more to
gain a place for themselves These
wide. full skirts suggest crinoline, and
materials and trimmings are most Sug
gestive of the fashions of the time just
after tie American civil war. Pleated
and gsthered skirts of tulle and NOUS
seline, with narrow ruffles or nounces
headed with pipings of satin and bands
of tiny artificial flowers. with knots
of ribbon, certainly remind one of the
gowns in old family portraits.
A more elaborate rendering of the
same fashion is also to be noted In
the superb brocSEed silks, with 1ounces
edged with narrow fringe. But these
are by no means the only models worn
and besides that there is such a large
variety of the most beautiful materials
to choose from.
Bands of fur and bands of embroid-
cry are extremely fashionable as trim
ming on the new skirts. One of the
newest models for street costume is
Of rough serge, the jacket of medium
length and the skirts trimmed with a

and sleeves are finished with the same

FADS AND FASHIONS

New York Oct. 22.-It It true that
sheath skirts with extreme scantness
of materials are no longer considered
smart but among the newest styles
are to be seen, skirts that, while con-
siderably wider around the hips, are
SO narrow around the ankles that they
make walking almost impossible Most
of the skirts show much more fuIIness
around the waist. Some are gathered
just a little at the sides, almost all
are gathered or laid in several side
pIeats at the back. and there are few,
If any, made quite plain. OversExirts
and draped skirts. ruffled and f1ounced
skirts. and skirts with wide bias bands
OF some contrasting material are all
to be noted among the latest models.

GREAT NATIONAL
 AUTOMOBILE SHOW

The extraordinary growth of the au- tomobile industry is signally revealed in the wonderful displays of horseless ve- hicles at the prominent shows of the present year. In the current issue of Leslie's Weekly, which is the Chicago Automobile Number, the superb national show at Chicago, February to 4,, is recognized in a wealth of illustrations and variety of interesting articles writ ten by experts in motor car matters. The cover carries a picture representing the women in the auto feeding the pigeons at Madison Square, New York, and there is a double page of photographs of the exhibits at New York-which are excelled at Chicago-of horseless vehicles con structed by leading manufacturers. There is also a page of pictures of scenes at past automobile shows at Chicago, with portraits of promoters of the shows. The letterpress comprises articles by Samuel A. Miles, manager of the show, giving the history of the Chicago show from its be- ginning; by Sidney S. Gorham, on auto speeding and registration laws; by Col. George M.

BOYCOTTING OF

 I've cannot permit a quasi-criminal DOT ton of the population to censor and dic- tate what the newspapers shall be per mitted to say in their discussion of pub lie questions" This opinion was recently handed down by Judge Eugene D. Saun- ders of the United States District Court, and was apropos of a determined effort New Orleans to establish racing in that city. It is charged that conspiracy was formed for the purpose of breaking up and destroying the business of one of the principal newspapers of the South, the Times Democrat. of New Orleans. This paper has taken firm stand against the liquor and racing element of the state and as a consequence has aroused the ire of that portion of the population. They are said to have approached advertisers of the paper with a request to withhold their advertising matter until the paper changed it's policy. Information of the proposed boycott reached the Times-Dem- oerat through several channels, and the paper laid it's case before Judge Saunders, who charged the grand jury with investi- gation.

At one prominent Broadway cafe one man entertained two women and a man. His order consisted of a basket of wine tone dozen bottles), and at the same time he insisted that cooler be brought for each bottle. This done he had the waiter take the wine from the basket and insert bottle in each cooler. Then he had the dozen coolers grouped in a circle about his table. This table attracted consid- erable attention, especially when the host presented one of the women with the basket from which the wine was taken and insisted upon putting 1t in her auto- mobile when the party broke up.

New Gasoline Section Car.

Announcement is made at the Of
fees of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad that that COM
pany is experimenting with the use
of gasoline motor section cars and
that three have been installed on
this division. 1t is stated that if
the experiment proves a success,
that these section cars will be plac-
ed on the entire system.
The car is little lighter than the
old-fashioned hand car, is run by
gasoline power and has smaller
wheels than the old hand car. This
enables the section foreman to de-
tect any break in the rails. 1t also
enables the men to cover the section
in a much shorter time than under
the old method and this means that
the length of sections can be in
creased, without adding to the work
of covering the tracks.
