THIS WILL BE VERY PROPER woRLD-soMg DAY.

Judging from the letters / receive,
this will some day be a very proper
world; that will be when all the dear
girls who write to inquire, find out
what Is proper for all occasions.
/ like these letters, because they
indicate that the girls who write them
want to do right II they can find out
what is right.
Now, dear girls, | want to say a
few words to you about this awful
subject of propriety that bothers your
young heads SO much. There are ever
and ever and ever so many different
standards of what is proper. II de-
ponds entirely upon the country or
the circle of society you are in what
is proper to do under certain circum-
stances. For example, In certain
fast set II is proper for young ladies'
to smoke, but all well bred people
abominate the habit In women.
could tell you a number OF similar
instances which would only confuse
you.
But there are few rules OF good
breeding that are the same the world
around, and which you can easily
master
1t is always proper to do the kindly
and considerable thing, the thing you
would like someone to do to you. All
rules OF good breeding are founded on
kindness and an understanding OF the
intention of the other person. An act

The Harem Sklrt---A Defense

NEW YORK, March 21.-Now that
most everybody. from preachers to
policemen, has had a whack at the
harem skirt, telling us that 1t is
scandalous without telling why, along
comes a member of the committee OF
public health OF the American WON.
ans medical association and tells us
that the harem skirt Is ideal from a
hygienic standpoint.
This defender of the much maligned
II. S. is DR.. Belle j. Mcdonald, of this
city, who says;
Frankly, | am delighted with this
newest Importation, the harem skirt.
From the standpoint OF hygiene, II is
capital innovation. In the first
place the trouser-like division gives
perfect freedom of movement But,
more important than that, the harem
skirt will not drag going down steps,
as even short, tailor-made skirts are
liable TO do.
Thus the wearer will be freed from
the collection of germs, dust and mud
that is bound to gather along the bot
tom of an ordinary skirt. Also on wet
days the ankles will be protected from
the chill caused by damp skirts rub
bling against them. IL all the women
adopt the harem skirt, | believe they
will be much healthier.
The consensus of opinion among the
women doctors making up the COM
mittee of which DR.. Mcdonald is a
member, which was in session here In
the days just past. is that the outlook
for women's clothes is brighter just
now than ii has been for many years.

can be well bred because of a kindly
intention back OF it. Be certain your
intention Is right, for all good man
ners are but the outward manifesto
ton OF good heart.
The words gentleman and gentle
woman mean first OF all someone who
is gentle and considerate. not some
one who acts according to rule. Gentle
manners at the table are simply those
actions which make the act of eating
as pleasant as possible for those pres
ent Any action which is offensive to
those at the same table with you Is
bad hammered.
For the same reason II Is bad man
nered to discuss religion or politics
with those who do not agree with
you. Something is apt to be said
which would wound them
And this Is the end OF this talk on
propriety. Some day We will have
another about some special form OF
propriety.

always thrown away, for these can
not be carefully examined for disease

moved and large arteries must be cut
out. Porterhouse steak cannot be
made kosher without that process;
and TO make assurance doubly sure
that all the blood in which disease

housewife soaks the meat in salt
water, which removes whatever yes

POOR FREDERICK!

He was visiting charming young
society lady, and they sat on either
side OF the blazing fire there entered
his heart a desire to say something
not merely complimentary, but bril-
liantly suggestive.
SO. after revolving the matter in
his mind during ten-minute burst
OF silence, he said:
"Ah, Miss Lillian, why are those
fire tongs SO like-like your Fred
erick?"
or course, he meant her TO give 1t
up. and then he would say: Because
they glow I'm your service" or BE
cause they are PROSTATE at your feet,
or, perhaps, something even better.
But Miss Lillian did not give II up.

Then followed another burst OF 81

THE ORIGINAL "HAREM"
SKIRT.

A New York man who has made
profound study of the history OF
clothes, says that Harry Furniss
is right when he says that every
thing about the harem skirt Is ad-
mirable but its name.
1T is the conventional wide
skirt, not the trouser skirt. that Is
scandalous." he adds. 1T Is
matter Of history that eastern po-
tentates were wont to dress their
concubines In skirts thus to dis
tinguish them from virtuous wom-
Ell who wore garments much like
the trouser skirt OF today, mis-
called the 'harem' skirt.
Thus the wide skirt that the
prudes think the symbol OF all that
Is modest and chaste is the real,
the original Harem skirt"

They declare that the tight corset is
doomed and that the passing of the
big hat will be a blessing. They
haven't word to say against the
harem skirt.
A few bold spirits who dare to back
up the harem skirt here are citing in
it's behalf the authority OF Harry
Furniss, the celebrated London illus,

Everything is narrow-shoulders

skirts are about two yards wide at
the base. Two yards and quarter
and two yards and half are conserv-
alive widths.
White gloves will be very fashion
able this summer, even for street
wear.
Pumps and sheer hose are consid.
cred very bad taste when worn with
street suits and shirtwaist hats.
Suit coats are short and are even
growing shorter. Skirts are anywhere
from one to Ave inches from the
ground.
The chiffon blouse which matches
the suit in color has become an al
most indispensable item. The under
waist may be of the same color as
the suit in lighter shade or OF some
other harmonizing color.
Severely plain shirts of linen, mad
ras, Shirtings and fiannel should al
ways be worn with strictly tailored
suits.
The sailor collar Is the popular one
for the coming season, and Is used on
shirtwaists, coats, dresses and negli-
gees.
Many of the embroidered lingerie
waists are touched with colored EN-
broidery.
Filet net waists in plain and print
