KINDNESS TO ANIMAL

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.
Little children, never give
Pain to things That feel and live:
Let the gentle robin come
For the crumbs you save at home
AS his meat you throw along
He'll repay you with a song;
Never hurt the timid hare
Peeping from her green grass lair.
Let her come and sport and play
On the lawn at close of day;
The little lark goes soaring high
To the bright windows of the sky, +,
Singing as If 'twere always spring,
And futtering on an untired wing
O! let him sing his happy song,
Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.

CORRECT LENGTHS OF SKIRTS.

The lengths OF walking sklrts uo
not vary. They are all sufficiently
short to escape the ground, which
may near from one inch to ankle
length, according to the build and age
of the wearer. A young woman may,
IL 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 al
ford to cut her skirt short II she
wishes to look her best.
Thus the question OF tae length OF
skirts for general wea 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 YEA are cut long, yet so narrow
| /. that little train is visible. In order
to give evidence of a train. the dresses
are cut long in 'front.' and at tie sides,
and only a t-iAe 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 a 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 al the way around is
in one way an improvement over the
trained skirt formerly worn, in that
it is more generally becoming, now
| that the fashionable figure is sup
posed to be tall, and the majority of
women are only Of medium height or
] short.
To prove this becomingness let
! any woma.- put on the old style
trained skirt, the length Just touching
the ground in front and the back
spreading upon the ioor, and view
| herself in a long mirror.
Then let her take the train and
bring it to the front in a winding ef-
| feet and The will see how much the
/ change adds to her height. This,
then, is the general effect of the new
trained skirt intended for evening,
| dinner and formal day use.
Handsome cloth suits in light
-..cights are made with short trains,
and so are re shantungs and rajahs
when a tailored effect is not desired.
There is no lining, interlining or fac
; ing on the bottom OF such s::irts. No
other finish but a deep hem is correct.
Consequently there is no chance for
the train to spread. It simply must
fall in, for there is nothing to keep
it out, not even a rufie.
