7 narrowness, but they made walking and
dancing easy. Many of the designers still
! cling to the skirt that is really narrow
at the bottom.
| = *
But still there is tendency to short
er, wider skirt. Sometimes it Is the
| crinoline that suggests, sometimes the
| long, full tunic Sometimes, OF course, 1t
| Is not suggested at all.
The crinoline Is interesting. Callot

this house was made with noopnhe
skirt Of many fiounces of black ana RED
taffeta and with it was worn a Whlte
| lace sacque! Could anything be more
reminiscent Of the days OF our grand
mothers?
These skirts Of crinolines, of course, are
always short.
Striped silks are widely used for after
noon frocks. They are almost always
combined with a plain fabric such a
combination brings out the best points
in both materials.
In the frock in the sketch striped silk,
brown and deep violet, with line or
yellow forms the Ions, full tunic the
rest OF the gown is MADE OF Drown slik.
The long sleeves and the odd little reVers
on the bodice are edged with ostrich,
and the finishing touch to the Whole
frock is an organdy collar.
The long sleeve is, perhaps, most used
for afternoon frocks, although the elbow
length sleeve has by no means disap-
peared.
The hustle is by no means disposed of.
Some Of the shops actually sell crinoline
hustle forms to be worn under the skirt,
but these are, of course, just one indica-
ton Of the new style-not to be taken
too seriously.
sashes are draped low at the back and
tied in Topping bows that give much of
the hustle drapery. And panniers. too,
are so arranged that they look more like
bustles than they do like panniers.
One of the methods Of producing the
effect of the hustle without actually using
the hustle drapery is to fasten rufies
across the back of the skirt.
1t is an odd and rather awkward fash
ion, but it has good features.

Birthday Finds Churchman at His Desk-Receives
Congratulations From All Parts of World.

Bishop Greer passed his seventdeth
birthday Friday. at his desk in New
York, working over diocesan affairs.
He spent the morning in his study in
his home, No. 33 5th avenue, but he
had very little time to himself. as In the
moments he was not at the telephone an
swering congratulations he was opening
kilograms and letters containing felicita-
tons. They came from bishops and
clergy and lay friends in all parts of the
country.
What pleased the bishop as much as
anything were seventeen hundred good
wishes which Bishop Burch brought
from Providence. r. l., to the senior
bishop. DR.. Burch returned from that
city, where he had been preaching at
MONDAY Lenten services in the church
where Bishop Greer was rector for years
before coming to New York.

But the voices Of the world call, the
pleasures Of sin allure-the heart becomes
hardened: the conscience becomes dead
ened: and the beginning. which gave
such fair promise, ends In failure. dis

So it Is with all the unwise enterprises

Clothes for Business Women.

TvERY woman knows how hard it is
r. for one of limited income to be ex-
elusive In her clothes. She can look
unlike other people, but there are many
hopelessly wrong ways of achieving this
end. To the girl or woman who goes out
into the world to earn her living. clothes
may mean all the difference between sue
cess and failure.
Tailormade suits are OF two varieties.
The two-piece suit, which means a skirt
and coat, and the so-called three-piece
suit, which is really dress and coat
With the former extra waists are neces-
sary, and these should be chosen with
discretion. A lot of white waists are a
good investment, and the fancy waists
now to be purchased so reasonably in all
the stores give a dressy appearance and
are easy to take care of.
The three-piece suit costs a little more,
but it is very satisfactory and does away
with the necessity of having so many
lines by having the skirt and waist In
one, and an excellent idea is to have a
number of separate guimpes for each
gown, which keeps the whole costume
looking fresh and new.
We have all heard .. good deal about
the three-piece suit. The four-piece suit
has possibilities of making one able to
ring the changes, as it were. Such a suit
is composed of one coat, two skirts and a
waist, and yet it is only one suit 1t
may be made UP into any material to
suit the taste Of the wearer il color
is chosen that is not too marked. and is
such as to enable a variety of hats to be
worn. A few colors that are good are
dark blue, gray, brown, green and other
quiet colors.

your ideas. Have him make q coat

social surroundings are not always agree

end of the good man how unspeakably
delightful is the society to which he is

warm-hearted, and be forever in lovina
companionship with the innumerable
throng OF the spirits of just men made

That country 50 bright and so fair,
And oft are its Slories confessed,

Now that spring is at hand real how-
ers are far more attractive than any
thing else for individual favors. Florists
sell interesting little vases suitable for
holding single flower each. They are
no more or less than test tubes, sup
ported by bed of dull, soft green metal
leaves at the base. They are long
enough to give support to the stem Of a
daffodil or any other spring bulb flower
or to d short-stemmed rose.
These little holders are suggestive Of
some that could be fashioned at homo
with glass test tubes as foundations.
They could be propped up at each plate
in bed of moss banked. on foundation
of pasteboard to protect the cloth be-
meath, about the bottom OF the glass. Or
they could be propped up with PASTE
board props. and then decorated with
frills Of colored crepe paper.

Concerning the Fashionable Evening Dresses

| the century that has passed since their
last taking of. One wonders that there
was enough left Of them after one wear
ing to make them worth preservation.
Would anybody want to preserve one of
| today's evening frocks after 1t had gone
through few hours of dancing? 1t
might last out the century to come, If
there were anything left of it after half
a dozen nights Of hard wear as a dance
frock. but that is possibility hardly to
be thought Of.
| It is a hard task that is presented to
the dressmaker who designs an evening
frock. 1t must be strong. yet it must
have every appearance OF frailty. No
substantial styles of the second empire
with ayidity.
Yet one wonders if even the carefully
| made gowns of that period would have
stood the rolicking strain Of the present
day.
They were built for the ninuct, not
for the ma4ixei
The frock sketched is good model for
a dance frocli. The foundation skirt is
| made Of light green charmeuse, opening
over founce Of pleated chiffon. There
is rather tight bodice Of dark green vel
vet, cut low both back and front, with a
| wisp of tulle at the armhoIes. The far
ing tunic Is Of tulle.
The girdle Is especially interesting. It
is made Of pearl beads. embroidered on
white net. and from 1t hang many strands
of green and pearl beads over the tunic.
1t looks like substantial model. does
1t not? Yet there is little likelihood that
its wearer could so through an evening
in 1t without repairing to the dressing
room once or twice for a stitch or two.
You know, 1t has been quite seriously
suggested that we bring a change of raj
ment with US when We go forth to dance
