discards the petticoats altogethar
substituting maillots. but it is no.
ticeable that fashionable tailors th;s
spring are using more drop ski
than they did in the winter. mr.
where drop skirts are not desired of-
ten they line plain skirt with soft
silk. This is step toward greater
skirt tineness and form, even though
the silk drop skirt or lining may he
of the softest, and it may show a
slight change in the direction Of the
current.
With dark toned costumes. the
skirt lining is often made OF bright
color, some of the vivid hues 50
much in evidence this spring. and
the effect of this gloam of gray col
or when some movement does bring
a flash of it into view is really very
copeuttish and charming. The
bright greens are particularly good
for such lining, with the popular
dark blue and black and white suits.
As for the petticoat itself, it is.
il of silk, in silk of the most sum
pie sort. There must be women who
wear taffeta petticoats with flounces.
for one sees such petticoats in the
shops, but for the great majority in
| expensive petticoats of soft messaI-
line with very scant tlounces, usual
ly accordian pleated, are the thing.
and where more. money is spent the
knowing woman is likely to choose a
silk jersey model with founce of
very soft silk, or if wearing qualities
are not the chief consideration, of
silk muslin or chiffon cloth.
Large hats are lined with colored
cotton crepe. sometimes stenciled i'll
pale blues and pinks.
Blouses of striped material are
very popular. These are of wash
silk, made on tailored lines or of ex-
quisite mousseline de sole, some
times iridescent ever all-over lace
slips. Tiny buttons of colored en-
afnel, metal, Jet or steel are much
used on the new blouses.
Plumes in two colors are much
used. The all-white hat of fine

Judge Carey of the Jersey City

habit of splitting on the floor the 9TH

and, while waiting to be called upon
the witness stand, cheWed tobacco
and expectorated upon the marble
floor. The matter was brought to
the notice of the Court and Judge
Carey had the splitter brought before
the bar. 1t is not known what the
Judge said to the man during the
few minutese of serious converse

a bucket of water and a mop and
the splitting witness washed the floor

Some time ago, the Inspectors OF

made raid on Wallabout Market,
Brooklyn, and confiscated more than
three thousand market baskets
which contained short measure and
which the honest farmers" of Long
Island had intended to palm of as
full-measure upon their suspecting
customers. Since then the above
mentioned honest farmers" made
many desperate efforts to regain pos
session of these baskets, but even
their threat to go. to court did not
induce the Commissioner of Weights
and Measures to yield to the farm
ers. He decided that the only way
to prevent the farmers from cheat
ing the purchasers Of provisions
with these baskets was to destroy
the latter and consequently he had
them piled up in the middle of the
market place the other night and
burned.
