PROPER LENGTH OF SKIRTS
Fashions Decree Makes Distinct VarL
atoms in Dimensions of the
Garment.

There is confusion in the minds OF
many concerning skirts, There is so
much talk about smart gowns being
five inches from the floor for evening
and nearly six inches for morning,
that women wonder il there Is any
hour in which the long, graceful skirt
is worm
The strict decree OF fashion is this:
Skirts five or six inches from the
ground for street wear; skirts that
sweep the floor in a round train for
the afternoon, and skirts five inches
from the floor for the evening.
This Is the decree! Everyone does
not have to abide by 1t, but numbers
of women will accept it in part, if not
in whole. They may not have every
evening gown made short, or every af-
ternoon frock made long, but they will
asseredly have one of each kind to
show that they know what is being
done in the world of fashion.

Possibilities.

There are some women who are
constantly utilizing old material, and
then, again, others who discard a
shirtwaist, skirt or dress merely be-
cause it Is somewhat old style or torn
in few places.
A white linen shirtwaist, which was
in very good condition, save for few
holes at the neckband and waist line
(caused by constant pinning), was
saved from extinction by one of the
cautious, who converted it into stock
collars and belts. The ends of the
stocks were square, and on one collar
five tiny clovers were embroidered.
There Is satisfaction in knowing
that good material is never wasted

TURBANS GIVEN NEW NAMES
MllIiners Work Hard Thinking Up
Designations for That Form OF
Hcadqear.

Evidently the turban is to take on
as many kinks and curls as the mil
liner can devise. And with each new
kink comes a new name.
We have had Turkish, Uhlan, Rus
sian, Cossack, Sultan; now We are to
have Rembrandt, Henry Ill, Hussar,
De Stael, Drum Major and Napoleon.
Some of the furs of which they are
made are OF the ultra-fashionable ring
tail; also ermine and sealskin, Aus
tralian oppossum and moleskin. The
drum major turban Is trimmed with a
circlet of antique gold and bronze set
with jewels.
The latter are very new and smart
and will not stir the wrath of the Au-
dubon society. A thick quill is used /;
then the long, coarse fur of the
monkey is put in it at each side. II
is amazing what influence the Audi
bonists are having on millinery and
these fur quilts are one outcome OF
1t.
Bronze lace Is widely used for trim
ming. and ermine and sealskin with
out trimming are among the most dis
tinguished turbans of the season.
Another model that has startling
distinction is OF moleskin trimmed
with an heroic pansy made of blue
and violet bugles with gold center.

Too Much IdeaIism in China.

Reviewing China" by Mortimer
Menpes and Sir Henry Arthur Blake,
writer says: "The root fallacy of
the Chinese political idea, which alone
is responsible for the low place to
which the country has sunk in the
scale of nations, is the disrepute of
the soldier. The gradations of the So
cial fabric are: % The literati, for
mind is superior to matter; CD the
agriculturist, for he produces from the
soil; (3) the artisan, for he is a Gre
ator from the raw material; CD the
merchant, for he is distributor; go
the soldier, for he is but destroyer.
So China is a sad example of what
! excessive idealism may do for the ma
ton. Her armies have been, for the
most part, mere hordes of undisci-
| plined men, sometimes commanded by
robbers reprieved for that purpose on
account Of their supposed courage.
Yet 10 per cent levy on the popu.
lation of China would furnish an army
of forty millions"

One phase OF the moyen age prin-
cess Ia demonstrated in our first illus
tration,. the style being suited to
either house or street wear. As illus
trated, the dress is made Of pale gray
cloth, with yoke of MORE in the
same tone, and yoke OF fancy net
The cuffs are also of the MORE, but
the buttons and piping used are OF
gray velvet in a slightly deeper tone.
For theater or other evening use this
gown could be of white, or cream, or
pale blue, or dull rose cloth, or serge.
The evening serges are very hand

with these the yoke and cuffs could

Brocade Hats.

Brocade is much favored for brides
maids hats. Perhaps it solves the
color problem as we'll, for it is always
possible to secure just the right shade
of blue or pink at the silk counter
when the felt hats offer no assistance
to eager buyers.
Large shapes are popular, and
plumes of the same color or contrast
ing tones are used. The design of the
brocade seems especially ornamental
and suitable for festive occasions.
After the great event these silk hats
are lovely for evening wear.

AS it happened, on the third even

a stylishly dressed young woman fol-
lowed him down the aisle and slipped
into the next seat. 1t was Minnie

Before the close of the first act, he
had made a hesitating remark, and

stance and reported it to his chief.
The latter smiled broadly and the next
morning eagerly awaited Minnie's ar
rival. When noon came and she did
not appear, he looked worried. When
evening came without her, he sent for
his agent and the two conferred to-
gether. The next day he received a
note. 1t was remarkable note, and
under it was the scrawling signature
of Minnie:
Il do not want your $1,000, and
hereby resign my position"
The detective swore and called fol
his agent again. The latter locked
glum and started on a search for the
missing girl. He found her the next
week at a fashionable suite of apart
Eents, with two servants, a pear
necklace and an array of diamond
rings that dazzled him.

Domini 1910, one of our most respect
ed citizens, whose death has been ex-
pected for some time, will not pass
away peacefully. Like the Duke of
Clarence. the aged gentleman will die
thousand New Workers have already
arranged to drown the old fellow at
midnight.
Considerable noise-and consider
ably more wine drinking-will mark
the birth of young Ammo Domini, Jr.,
1911. Wine drinking as a generic term
is used advisedly. for any person who
has reserved a table for the obsequies
and subsequent birth has had to
pledge himself to order wine until the
supply runs out-and the supply has
never even been dented in past cele-
brations.
Three hundred thousand sober mind
ed citizens, armed with horns, drums,
timbrels and other noise-makers, are
expected to gather in the vicinity OF
Old Trinity Church and make believe
they hear the chimes ring out the old
and ring in the new. History does
not recall the time a man, woman or
child could ever truthfully say he had
heard the chimes above the din of the
streets below, but still they gather
there and make believe.
The real merrymaking will occur
in the Broadway cafes Europe and
America have been searched for
novelties OF the year.
A careful estimate of the number OF
cafe winers and diners is 100000 and
1t Is expected that $2,500,00O will be
spent along upper Broadway Church.

are not forced to buy wine, but even
Churchill admits he will not prevent
his guests from ordering wealthy

liberties. In most of the places the
lights will go out at 1855 D. m, and
flash back with the birth Of the new
year when a toast will be drunk.
