Concerning Petticoats.

Although dress fashions must take
place in feminine minds, the petticoat
cannot be altogether neglected, for it
follows in the wake of the continued
evolution. Soft materials, whether silks
or cottons, have become the most de-
sired for petticoats since the sheath
gown first appeared. We now. how
ever, may expect a change. The mar
rOwest skirts will be no longer neces
sary and Knockers will gradually go,
while indications would seem to show
that the petticOat of taffeta will regain
first place, although for time no
stiffness will break the line of the
gown and no rustling will herald the
approach.
The closely fitted petticoat of satin
or chiffon taffeta, with adjustable ling
erie ruffle, has come back, and it will
be joyfully received. Some of the
more beautifully embroidered and lace
incrusted ruffles are being shown for
wear with skirts of this kind. They
would hardly fail to prove attractive
to even the most ardent admirer of the
passe directoire.
For those who prefer petticoats of
silk without lingerie trimming there
are pretty ones of meassaline, SUM-
pleated and stretched to SmoOthnesS
around waist and hips. These are in
no way bulky but they provide just
the dainty frOu-frou that one natur-
ally associates with lovely, irresistible
woman.

lines in design or trimming running up

The thin woman must not wear q
dress that is absolutely plain. II must
cover up any angularity, which is
certainly not beautiful This is not
decrying the simplicity which is always
good form, but en- appearance Of full
ness can be gained by making lines
ruin in a horizontal direction. The
bertha effect softens any sharp lines
and adds attractively to an angular
figure The draped sashes cause the
eve to follow a curved lateral sweep,
and this detracts from a painfully thin
effect
Hats are the rocks upon which the
large and the small woman come to
grief. Hats with immense crowns and
brims can be carried with dignity by
large women They give a certain
proportion at the top which makes for
a pleasing effect But the little wom-
an with the small face should be con-
sentative in her selection and pass by
the tempting mammoth styles. She
should avoid the broad brim, which
will cut off the height. The smaller

A college girl was telling me the
other day that the girls were not al
lowed to go off the campus to evening
entertainments at all.
Why you always used to be allowed
to go if you We're properly chaperoned,"
I said
Yes" she answered, but two or
three of the girls got around that by
getting young girls from the town to
act as chaperones, or by promising to
have one and not doing it. So they
took the privilege away altogether
That means that two or three girls
prevented several hundred from being
allowed to enjoy themselves in a per-
fectly legitimate way.
Several beautiful estates which useu
To be opened to the public at certain

The reason? Observation-Disclosures and

heirlooms actually Clipped by con-
scienceless curio hunteys. The few

Ragged Robin"

Like a breath from the heather
clad hills of Inishannon is the atmo-
sphere of Ragged Robin, which comes
here soon. The authors, Rida Johnson
Young ami Rita Olcott have invested
it with Celtic spirit that is hard to
define, but which lends it an indescFib-
able charm. II is a true and delightful
Isle, in the days of our great grand
fathers.

Since the long lines Of the figure are
being followed by the dictators OF
fashion, perhaps a word anent proper
ton in dress may not be out Of place.
If this important element of beauty
were considered when a woman selects
her gown, the beautiful in dress would
grow conspicuous by its presence on
the streets or in the home. But how
often is the attractiveness of woman
diminished by q frocll which empha-
sizes her shortcomings or eXaggerates
the long lines Of the figure? And how
many times is the beauty of a gown
lessened because a woman lacking in
Il sense of the eternal fitness Of things
has been unfortunate enough to wear
it?
There are certain things which a
stout woman must deny herself The
creases the appearance of width in the
skirt and correspondingly cuts down
the height. Materials with crOsswise
designs should be Stunned by the wom-
an who must make the least of her
embonpoint, and she should not wear
horizontal tuckings or trimmings. She
should wear her garments with the

The example of the United States
Steel in holding to a normal range
of prices for its products, thus set
ting the standard for the whole coun-
try, can well be studied by those
who are interested in the producing
and marketing OF rthe red metal.It
is evident thar the copper market is
being allowed to rule itself at the
present time, and the operations of
spectators are perhaps acting bene-
ficially. While the price of the metal
is lower than may be expected ano a
little embarrassing to some enter
prises whose production costs are
high, IL were better in the long run
for the price to advance by the main
strength of the eonsumptive de-
mands. The situation must show to
any close observer of conditions that
it is favorable to several years of
abundant prosperity for the copper
producer.
