The only way you1l ever be able to avoid breaking your neck in the new rabian f1ounced skirts is to wear them up to your knees like a ballet dancer, although some women would rather take a chance on having their relatives spend their life insurance than blush for their-legs.
 Try sitting down in any old chair with one of these six reel skirts on and see what happens; you remember what terrible time "Sari" had With all her fiuffiness, when she tried to sit down with wide skirt on? We'll the long and short of it all is, that you get all tangled up with chair legs and your own legs and anybody's else that happens to be lying around loose, and all the terrors of hades are your as you try to manipulate the yards of material that are in your new spring skirt
 And in windstorm, good night.'' you just look like balloon--that's all
 For walking, of course, the wide skirts are dandy only some dressmaker en- gineers ought to ballast them, like you would a ship, and not set them at full sail for just any old kind of weather
 And the hats
 Well-they are just too much.
 To be less than three-stories high. your new bonnet is considered a last years model"
 Towering, waving. nodding things just stare you in the face and perfect flower gardens are landscaped on the new bon nets.
 Aren't hats silly?'' I heard one woman ask another at one of the fashionable emporiuns the other day, the pretty saleslady brought out one of the latest creations from Paree, for her to ''try on.''
 "No; I don't think so, said the other.

 word counts for a bit in the s&U sartorial world and it is not
 amiss to relate a story about her just at this time when we stand on the threshold of 8 brand new season when the whole world is topsy- turyy, which shows how much stock the delectable lady takes in bonnets and gowns, and what sne thinks they amount to in woman's life.
 It is said that Miss Russell during one of her states of widowhood (there have been several, you know), went with a party of friends to a fortune teller's on one occasisn to have her future predicted
 Shall I tell you the name of your future husband?' asked the interested clairyoyant.
 The fair Lillian replied:
 Mercy no: tell me what will be the style in spring hats
 During the coming week, when tha Fashion Show is in progress. every woman in this vicinity who. has an atom of vanity. will be 'ransacking the shops for bonnets and gowns, trying on every model that is suggested.
 If you happen to see some poor wom- an with bump on her nose or scratch on her arm or limping along like a war veteran, or a pioneer after a ten-mile parade. you needn't think anything very terrible has happened; you need not think that such an one has been engaged in a scrap or speak ing against suffrage; it will be none of these things; her downfall happened because she stumbled through the streets and shops ill one of the new skirts in six reels and took so many trips on the hem that she ought to buy mileage.

From the Kansas City Star.
 A congressman received almost daily letters from a constituent asking for garden seed with emphasis on peas. The demand for peas got so heavy that the congressman was moved to write this letter: s4-4a-S.t
 q am sending you a half dozen more packages of pease as requested. Say what are you trying to do down here' plant the whole state in peas?"
 The reply came few days later. l' read:

One Wall for
Two Buildings

Charles Drury, who Is erecting
a three-story building adjoining
the Berlin building, 18th and
Pacific, asked the city council to-
day for permission to use the
side wall of the Berlin building
as the south wall of his new
structure, instead OF erecting a
new wall.
Investigation showed that there
was nothing to prevent him from
doing 1t, IL his neighbor didn't
object.
