NO MORE PETTICOATS.
Instead Smart Women Wear Turkish
Trousers Under Their Scant Skirts.

Petticoats are no longer considered
a necessity. They are ignored even
when the shecrest dance frock is worn.
Nowadays. full harem trousers Of tulle.

closely to the mikes. M 4 few Of the
models have frills Of lace extending
from below the knees to the instep.
The new dances are responsible for
this departure from precedent. for 1t IS
impossible to gain freedom of motion

The accessory shops are displaying
fascinating neyligceS and bOud0ir APPS

or mousseline de sole are worn with
skirts of the same materials. If you
desire novelty. there are full trousers
which accompany the coats. The caps

After doing this you will have per

From a man who dances for a living
and is practically on his feet twelve
hours Of every twenty-four comes the
following advice:
Change the shoes at least three times
from rising until retiring. the stock
ings at least twice. and keep the feet
absolutely clean. To be clean they
should l. bathel three times each day.
Use soap only in the morning. other
tires merely warm or hot water. Aft.
or drying rub carefully with a good
talcum powder. Twice Il week rub the
entire foot with vaseline. White is
best. Oil Of sweet almonds is also
soothing. No other care is necessary
unless there are old troubles to con
tend with. Less care, and trouble may
result.

No Time to Drill In the Sixties.

they could. when it was worth while
to eXpend the effort. Now the tactics

on parade they have to go to school
and learn it all over again. But the
truth is that in the sixties only a few
regiments, comparatively, pretended to
make a show on parade. There was no
time to look after the manner Of get
ting at the enemy. 1t was just a hus-
tie to get there somehow. An old
trooper Of 1865 was asked what kind
of flag his corps carried. "Humph! I

BEASTS USED BY ROYALTY.
Black Oxen Of Japan and Crea:, Col.

No other race of animals can show
S"~.l II history as the black oxen that
the funeral cars of Japanese en-
per"rS. They are of Il special breed
and for centuries have been kept for
the sole use of the imperial family.
The cream colored Hanuverian horses
reserved for the British royal family
are nearly as famous. but some OF
these animals oncc wore the yoke Of
an alien and an enemy. When Ma
poleon occupied Hanover in 1904 he
seized all the cream colored horses in
the royal stables and took them to
Paris. The state carriage ut his corO-
nation was drawn by eight Of these
animals.
This insult. as he regarded it. made
George III. so angry that he would not
use the others of the breed that were
stabbed in London. Until the fall OF
Napoleon the state coach was always
drawn by black horses when the king
opened parliament.
