material causes this sagging at the
sides and back and. although one does
not object to an irregular hem, it
must come through foreknowledge and
not through bad workmanship.
None of the dressmakers advocate
fullness over the hips. Here and there
one sees isolated cases CT hip draDery,
ut the newest fashions do not call
or it. In all the best gowns for street
md evening, the hips are flattened out
as though they had been pressed with
"a hot iron. This is to accentuate the
fullness at knees and hem.
There are various ways of obtaining
the desired fairness. 1t is not all u
question of hip Jokes. There are box
plaits running from waist to hem;
there are long pointed segments OF
cloth that run nearly to knees which
divide the fullness and keep it away
from the hips; there are plastered bits
of barbaric embroidery from which
spring circular sides that flare at the
hem. Each of the French dressmakcrs
has a different way of maintaining
smoothness just below the waist, and
to these original methods the Ameri-
cans have added.
One of the fashions that France in
troduced last June is the foundation
stone of all the clothes of today This
is the long, straight upper part of the
gown which sometimes develops into
tunic, or which ends at the wide sash
placed over the hips.
There is nothing strikingly new
about this chemise-lke bodice, for it
has been worn continuously for three
months, but the dressmakers exploited
1t in the new clothes and we shall
doubtless wear it until Christmas. If
anything newer is invented, 1t will
probably come from an American
atelier, for there is no reason to sup
pose that France will produce new
ideas in the nearby months; there are
quite enough over here now to satisfy
even the most exacting woman.
1t is probable that this long. child
like garment-for it really is juvenile
which has slim simplicity as it's
foundation, and is called Moyen-age
for want of better term, will prove
an obstacle to a good appearance as
much as the over full skirts will do,
but il care is taken with it, and atten-
ton paid to the way it is cut and
trimmed, the general result will not
be as bad as prophesied
One sees the garment in every fab
ric, and it will be unfortunate if one
sees it on every figure. 1t. like all the
fashions for the last four years, is
primarily intended for the modern fig
ure that has been developed through
fashion, or the other way around-no
one knows which.

IN COLORADO.

The struggle in the Colorado coal
strike region is not unlike that which
prevailed !n the copper country last
summer.
There are today employed by the
owners Of coal mines in Colorado more
than ten thousand men. The strikers
are estimated AT two thousand.
The attitude Of the Colorado oper
ators is similar 20 that taken by the
companies Of this district in the cop
per country strike in that they refuse
10 submit 20 the viii Of a lawless mi
uority and set adrift the loyal EN-
pIoyes now upon their payrolls.
A statement Dog the operators Of Coli
orado concludes with this sensible
proposition:
If the 1000 members Of the or
ganization uow militant in this
state do not care 10 work in our
mines, it is their privilege to de-
cline to do So and go elsewhere into
unionlZed fields where there are
conditions more 10 their liking;
and the officers Of the organization
90 which they belong will once and
for all settle the unrest which
prevails here If they will expend
some small portion OF their funds
10 remove their dissatisfied mem
bers from this field instead of
further increasing their lavish ex-
pcnditure an the promotion Of
strife and bloOdshed.
