short It should not come to the edge
Of the dress skirt, but an inch above.
Quite too many women let 1t slope a
bit at the back, and this, added to the
fact that the petticoat is apt to sag
from the waist line ANYWAY, brings ii
down to point below the skirt.
Drawstrings should not be used.
They are a nuisance, and they prevent
a skirt from fitting as it should. No
matter how tightly they are tied they
ease up. A petticoat is always better
when fastened up the front or side
than In the back. but wherever the
opening, it should be buttoned or
glove clamped or hooked.
The second method IS best Of all
China silk and messaline have come to
the front as petticoats to be worn

chosen. but the present season does
not approve OF it very much because
it Is not soft enough to cling.

Springfield. April 25.-The body of
the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs

four weeks ago tomorrow was found
at , o'clock this afternoon on the
rocks between the rear shaper shop
and the river road. Charles WELDING

have had a red coat on.

Immediately after the drowning
the river was dragged and dynamited
and dams were let out without result.
All hopes of finding the body had
been given up. The body was so
swollen and decomposed that identi-
fication was difficult 1t is probable
that the remains were on the rock
