the jacket is decidedly shorter, in
some cases by four inches. The square
effect in front is not seen unless one
wishes to cling to the classic style.
The new cut is either cut-away, or it
is round. If pockets are put in they
are rounded likewise Some of the
jackets show a revers on one side
only, others no revers at all. The
effect of the latter is very good. Braid

about the plaits of skirts, in the lat.
ter case helping to produce the long
line.
While the skirt is shorter, it is not
markedly so. The thing most sought
is that the feet and ankles should
show when the wearer steps out. The
best of the skirts have slit in front
running up half yard or more. When
one stands still and erect the opening
is hardly noticeable. 1t is walking
that the slit becomes apparent. Some
times the slit comes at one side, some
times at both sides, sometimes at the
back, according to the within of the
wearer or of the dress-maker.
Wooden tailored costumes, generally
reserved for journeys and other prac
tical purposes are made with skirts
short enough to show the pretty
shoes, and wide enough to allow an
easy stride. The fullness is cunningly
hidden under plat or panel, and thus
ample width is gained, while preserv
ing the straight, slender silhouette.

is still within the memory of many.
This offered such shining inducements
to the forger that large force of
detectives was kept busy, but the
passing of stringent laws in the diff
ferent states after a time abolishc u
entirely the issue of these notes.
The earliest paper money issued in
America was in Massachusetts in
1890, in order to satisfy the demands
of clamorous soldiers. The first au-
thorized by the Continental Congress
was in May ITS. Six years later II

mathematical and historic, were tried
in the manufacture of the notes with
considerable success. Then came the
discovery of photography, which
proved a boon to the imitator, and
forgeries again increased.
In order to check the issue Of spuri-
GUS notes, Henry Bradbury in 1856
invented a process called "anti-photo-
graphic bank note printing" This con-
sisted in printing one portion in one
color over which another protective
color was used, and over this third.
When copper plates were used for
engraving they so easily wore out
that impressions soon became dim and
blurred. This also made easier the
work of the forger. An American
named Perkins in 1S49 introduced in
to England a transfer process. The
impression was taken from steel
plate on a soft steel cylinder which
was pressed flat and hardened. An
other method was film of steel on
copper. The paper was made by hand
of pure linen rags, but all bank note

of more even grain and texture.

New York, March 25-Contrary to
the prediction of some fashion writer's
the long and narrow silhouette is still
in vogue and there is to be found but
little of the predicted fullness. On a
tour through the fashionable shops
and among the resorts where fash
ionable women gather, one may even
see skirts that are narrower than
most of the skirts six months ago.
The slashes are deeper, too, and run
higher up. Women have found that
this slash is an absolute necessity for
convenience in walking. At first the
material used overlaped at the cut,
but now this has been done away with
and the cuts are boldly displayed.
Draperies are used in many cases,
but in such manner as not to inter-
fere with the slimness of the sill
houette. Some of the best skirts
have drapings that appear to have
slipped off from the hips and lodged
near the hem. The fullness is invari-
ably up and down and the gathers run
at right angles to the length.
Black is still great favorite. The
combination of black and white is
used less extensively and preference
is given to all black models. Some
of the black tailor-mades of dressy or
light materials have stitchings of
heavy white silk. The object is prin-
cipally to lengthen the figure, as the
lines run up and down. Broche de
laine or brocaded woollen goods is one
found in Gotten effects, also crepe de
chine and in silk.
Fellows were such a success dur
ing the winter that the color has now
been adopted for tailor-mades and af'
ternoon gowns. The fashionable vel
lows are decidedly outspoken in color
like khaki, copper, lemon, corn and
brass, which is a new shade promis
ing to be very popular in the spring
Some of the yellows, like sulphur, are
extremely aggressive. For street wear
some of the best damages are in tilleul

loud as some of the other yellows.

THE FIRST BANK NOTES.

The beginning of the bank note is
a rather flattering commentary on the
honesty of the people of that time.
The first ones in England were print
ed forms with the amount written in
by hand and were for forty pounds
and upward. Despite the fact that this
offered an excellent chance for dis
honesty, forgeries were comparatively
rare. The paper was Of the ordinary
white kind, but Wales soon took the
precaution of manufacturing pecu-
liarly marked paper. At the end of
the eighteenth century small notes
for one and two pounds we're in cir
culation, and forgery increased to such
an extent that 1852 persons were con-
victed in England in one year.
The government then set about to
find some method of foiling the for
gers. Special water marks engine

these important points is achieved by

Short loose separate coats, deepen

chosen for seaside or country wear

The new walstiine, much higher in
front than at the back, that has been
gradually evolved during the past few
seasons, is now strongly emphasized
in coats which lengthen narrowly at
the back, rounding from a high bust
line above a short waistcoat or a high
folded girdle. That it is excessively
ugly and awkward does not seem to
matter in the least, One of the French
designers of fashion carries this line
into skirts as we'll, cutting them much
shorter in front than at the back. In
