 We are most casually indifferent to the correct haug of the hem 0. the skirt
 lime was when saEglus brsadtu Was d scandal and a disgrace.
 Aot so these aays. Inc regular evea-ea-gd skirt Is Ike wggn-oQl talse principle. The skirt may Ala, on tae sides. a. the front or baeh. and i, IS g,ucyuy correct There N iu tHIs mode a liberty that Has never before been known iu modern sartoriaI history
 Dancing frocks are particularly wild lu the hens. one never kuo"s when they VIII 5egot upward, Hos how far the scoouns shall 50. We have had yaudykes, scalIops. Greek letter designs, unduIaAons and any old line into which the goods nap pens to fall.
 Equally Irresponsible is the train
 It may appear in the back, fa-llns well over short skirt. It may be on one side or both sides. Il has been known to go down in the back and drape in the front, form ing Turkish trousers. It may be serpenune, pointed, fISh.taI or square or it may tumble in a rip ping, cascading Jabot. Some skirts are made of several trains, placed over the shortest, most daring anu transparent uuderskirt, which is d covering for the human form but not a decided one.
 The short trock remains the cor rect cut-up for dancing not fo. the street.
 The coatee frock is a new ami seasonabIe blessing, although the woman who disu1es the corsase ol heavy fabrics will frown upon il.
 The coatee is usually of velvet. and the skirt is of gabardlne. ye- lours de lane. cheyiot or even serge. The coIors must match ez acty. unless the skirt is of plaid or stripe, and even then there must be color harmony or the thing ap- pears patcAy.
 A toga of this kind has coatee of sapphire blue velvet There i- little vest with a straight line cut across the top, and the bottom is finished with tiny dropping balls of wool Tho jacket extends almost to the hipHne, the sleeves are close-fitting, a,d the front portions are cut to form little ends that fold. one over the other, into a tie effect These ties are finished With small wool tassels.
 The high collar which is finished with skunk is of the directoire line and form About the sleeves the fur appears again
 For the girl who always suffers from cold these little coatees are especially designed. They also pos sess utjlitartan qualities as one may have several skirts to be worn with one jacket Variations may be acquired by using different yestees of lace, net or chiffon.
 For little boys, the proper cos tune is a sort O memory of Kate Greenaway figures short little wide bobby panties, short-waIsted blouses with wide, round collars and huge buttons securing panties and blous together.
 The male child of or 8 may wear a white serge middy suit in the afternoon. If he has arrived at the mature and intellectual age O. twelve he may glory in a white serge Norfolk, or blue serge coat and white knickers.
 The boy wao is E!lrdened with a fashionable mother, who regards keenly the sartoriaI needs of her offspring, may be obliged to fare forth in the Eton suit of back worst, ed, with long trousers and jacket coat, or the black coat and striped trousers. For evening wear he has a tuxedo exactly like dads, but to be worn, or course, with short trous
