CORRECT LENGTHS OF SKIRTS.

SOANlNISA A<A@sNO 4 10 VI DAAA~N ~
The lengths OF walking skirts do
not vary They are all sufficiently
short to escape the ground, which
may mean from one inch to ankle
length, according to the build and age
of. the wearer. A young woman may,
If she pleases, cut her skirt shorter
than a woman of more mature age,
and a stout woman should always
wear them longer than one who is
slender. The later type may wear
skirts long, too, If she wishes, but
the stout or short matron cannot af-
ford to cut her skirt short If she
wishes to look her best.
Thus the question Of the length of
skirts for general wear is easily dis
posed of, but for the more important
gowns for afternoon, house and even
ing the matter of deciding is more
difficult owing to the narrow width
of the skirts
All the skirts for formal and even
ing wear are cut long, yet so narrow
that little train is visible In order
to give evidence of train the dresses
are cut long in front and at tie sides,
and only a trihe longer in the back,
Even then, as the wearer walks, the
material winds itself about the feet
until the gown actually seems to be
the same length all the way around,
incidentally, to walk gracefully in
one of the new skirts is difficult
feat. Managed correctly, a skirt Of
this style is an aid to height, because
the front is long from the belt down
ward. Thus the new style of cutting
the skirt long all the way around is
in one way an improvement over the
trained skirt formerly worn, in that
1t is more generally beco ming, now
that the fashionable figure is sup
posed to be tall, and the majority of
women are only OF medium height or
short.
h TO prove this becom ingness let
amy woma- put on Thea old style
trained skirt, the length jus. touching
the ground in front and the back
Spreading upon the floor, and view
herself in long mirror.
Then let her take the train and
bring 1t to the front in winding eff
fectsand she will see how much the
change adds to her height This,
then, is the general effect of ehe new
trained skirt intended for evening,
dinner and formal day use.

fall in, for there is nothing to keep
it out, not even a ruffle.
Any trimming ON the skirt comes
at least a foot above the lower edge,
either applied directly on the skirt or
as a finish to a tunic or overskirt
effect.
A favored fashion is to tie the skirt
down by wide crushed ribbon (the
shade of the gown, passed through
Sits cut at fiounce depth, the ribbons
tied in large bows, the ends falling
over the train, and when the material
is thin, as marquisette and similar
fabrics, have seen good effects from
setting in group of wide tucks above
the deep hem.
The fine cloths, however, and the
silks are without trimming.
Skirts of house gowns are cut in
what is known as the round length
that is, they are made TO lie down
on the floor about an inch or so on the
front and sides, but are longer In the
back. This is a graceful length and
will prove generally becoming.
As many of the new house gowns
are made with deep hens and under
skirt effects in solid color, it is we'll
to have the skirts as long in the front
as comfort will allow in order to pre-
serve the height of the wearer, for
nothing cuts the length of the figure
more than horizontal lines between
the belt and hem.
The fashion of holding down the
train in the back with a long motif
Just above the feet is awkward, but it
is novel, and so, l suppose, women
will want to try it. Only slender
types should attempt it, for, given
certain twist, the woman of average
build will surely appear top heavy.

Columbia River Steamboat Races.


(By an Interested Spectator.
Away over on the Columbia river
They are having steamboat races.
And the steamers Columbia and
Okanogan
Certainly do set the PAGES.
Captain Stoffel and Captain Gray
Are the shippers respectively,
And the way they are trying to do
each other
Is sight for one TO see.
First the Columbia makes a run
That beats all records hollow,
And the way they crow is not. SO
slow,
And dare anyone to follow.
They made the Brewster wharf-boat
Just thirty minutes after three,
And wrote it in big letters
So everyone could see
Then Captain Paul got busy
And made another try
To beat the last big record;
They certainly did fly"
And the way that they succeeded
Is ancient history,
For they pulled into Brewster
At twenty minutes after three.
This was a very good record,
AS any steamboat man knows.
For there are so many landings
To be made on the way as one
goes.
Then the crew of the Okanogan
Were hilarious you can guess,
And wanted to put up money
That said that they were best.
But the Columbia boys kept quiet
Until they got a good show,
A gentle breeze did blow
Captain Gray was on the roof.
Pilot fuse was at the wheel.
And the way they skinned the wa
Was a sight to make one reel.
I. B. to the pilot: Hurry!
Don't you know we've got to
beat?
From the crew of the Okanogan
Wen never take a back seat!"s
And he swore and fumed and fretted,
And the steamer flew along.
They were making fine time, so they
said,
And it wouldn't take them long.
Entiat Rapids, Entiat Landing, Che
Long ere dinner time;
And the landing at Bonita
Was the next along the line.
And the firemen in the freehold
Shoveled coal to beat the band,'
And that old wagon went so fast
They scarce could see the land.
Did they beat the others record?
Yes! They beat it slick and clean.
For they made the Brewster landing
At exactly three thirteen.
But the Okanogan beat that
Then the Columbia tried once
more,
And as she holds the fastest record
The Okanogan boys are sore"
And so the running stands. they say,
And will stand for while,
But the crew of the Okanogan
Vow they'll beat them just mile.
For they can't let the Columbia boys
Crow over them, you can bet,
And Captain Stoffel, of the Okano-
gan,
Says The end is not yet"

To start with, there are various ways
of getting to Shagg Pond. One way is
per automobile. Another less expensive
way is to walk. Also there are ether
varieties of procedure. The only form
of public conveyance in the vicinity, a
stage, stops mile short of the pond,
and even that isn't available unless you
happen to be coming from the direction
where the stage starts.
Now the Tramp, having a touch of
spring fever and two or three days which
might be interpreted into comparative
leisure, pointed his eyes in the direction
of Shagg, and allowed the rest of his
anatomy to follow the eyes, by the most
economical route, namely, leaving the
train at West Paris and "hikiDg" the
twelve miles of highway to his destiua
ton.
With accommodations available at the
far end of the road, as well as at least
partial chance to secure supplies, it is
really surprising how small pack will
do for three days. vacation. A canvas
bag of only few pounds weight, slung
on the back, includes everything that is
essential. As for apparel, there is a
chance for the exercise of taste and good
sense In this case the Tramp followed
the plan prescribed for trip over the
White Mountains. Inquiring of one of
experience with regard to taking water
proof clothing, it was negatived, and in
answer to the inquiry, "But if it rains?"
came the entirely matter-of-fact reply,
ooh, if it rains, you get wet"
Aud that's the way it worked-but of
that later.

an occasional almost imperceptible mist,

Just gray clouds. II 1t should hold that
way, while not ideal weather for hike,
il would be at least comfortable, and after
camp was reached, let it rain il 1t wanted
to.
Now the rain that day exemplified
bad habit-or good one, either, for
that matter. When the Tramp started
from West Paris, there was a little fiue
mist, so little Of it that, though it never
for moment ceased, days journey in
it would not soak the clothing or mud
the road After two or three miles of
the road had been covered, it began to
rain, gently, then gradually and almost
imperceptibly increased, until, in the
course of an hour, it was downpour.
1t was too late then to back out, and
break off the habit. The water was
soaking through the clothing at many
points, the feet were parboiled, the road
had turned from gravel and loan to pea
soup. And still the rain drove, never for
minute stopping, but occasionally
Stacking little, with Tightening OF the
clouds, only to set in with renewed vigor
after two or three minutes. But there
was nothing to do but to put it through
and finish the journey.
Half way, good friend appeared at
the door of his house and compelled the
traveller to come in, rest and take q
lunch. So the lunch in the pack was lei
alone, and a civilized repast and an hour
of rest and refreshment, while the rain
poured, renewed the spirits exceedingly
A deceptive tightening of the clouds al
the end OF the hour raised hope that q
change was coming, but the only changs
was a little more vigor to the storm
