BY GERTRUDE GORDON.

New York, March fO.-"Weegs,
weegs! Of a surety they will be worn.
Red and blue and purple, and, oh, ze
beautiful green. But only in ze even
ing-nevair in re day.
With this statement Nine. Henri
Joire, sister-in-law and representa-
tive of Paduin, said the last word to-
day as to cOlored wigs. Some Amer
lean women may doubt that this new
freak of fashion will be adopted, but
Nine. Joire, as an authority, said she
could assure them that they would
soon be wearing colored wigs Just as
they took to slit skirts. And mention
ing Sits opened another question
which Nine. JoiTe settled.
''NIilady will show her leg no
more" said Nine. Joire, and then in
her rich French accent she sounded
the deathknen of the slit skirt.
1T is gone-like a breaEh-pouf-
it is no more. It will not come back.
The skirts are fiat front and back
and have the gathered drapery at the
side and under the knees. See! and
she showed her own skirt. .s
Just below the knees it was caught
into folds which must have made the
skirt at least three yards wide around
the bottom. Not a suspicion of
slit or a slash was there and the front
and back panels of the gown were
plain.
Going in search of a reason for the
passing of the slit skirt, the dance
craze now prevailing was found to be
responsible.
Mime. Paquin, she see how every
body tango, everybody turkey trot,
everybody do the dance, but nobody
had the right kind of dress. They
cannot move without danger of fall
ing or tripping. The dresses were so
ungraceful. So now they are made so,
the tango may be danced in them,
ah-SO eaSily." and madame illus
