 It was his first ambitious venture in literature. and Adrian Moore had be- gun the reading of his little screed with fear and trembling. Then, as he got into the soul of his subject, he for got self and was almost brilliant in his delivery.
 All his former trepidation returned, however, as he came back to the harsh realities with the last sentence en- nunciated. It was little skit of pathos, romance and description, the result of two-weeks' vacation in 'the cider country" downstate, just as an- tique and crude in the present as half a century before.

FASHIONS

The directoire influence on dress has
resulted in many clever novelties in
meek fixings," as we'll as sashes. belts
of various kinds, etc. The sketch
illustrates smart little cape so in
spired. AS will be noted the cape is
only about eight or nine inches deep
at it's widest point, and the ends are
to form ties in front, one
end being gracefully draped back over
the shoulder. The cape might be made
of soft taffeta or satin and lined with
chiffon in a contrasting color, or it
might be attractively developed using
a double faced satin. This fabric Is
shown with sides in contrasting colors
and it develops well into items OF
neckwear, belts, girdles. etc. In fact,
the fabric is found quite admirable Tor
snort suits and coats for summer wear.
Ii appeared last season and has taken
on a new lease of life for summer 1917.
To make the cape shown one and a
quarter yards of material thlrty-siA
inches wide will be required.
According to present predictions the
wearing of furs will continue a vogue
during the summer of 1917. and novel
ty capes, ruches, collarettes, etc, will
be favored by many as against the
warmer looking neck coverings of fur.
The woman who is clever at design
ing and who likes to fashion dainty
dress accessories for herself will very
wisely set to work now on items OF

SHORT SKIRTS ARE WORTH
MILLIONS TO SHOE MEN
Every Inch Added to Length Means
100000 Annual Loss, Con-
vention Is Told.

PHILADELPHIA February 21.-Every
inch added to the length of women's
dresses means a loss of Sl0,000,000 a
year to the shoe business. according to
A. ID. Anderson of Boston. who last
night told the delegates to the con-
vention of the Pennsylvania Retail
Shoe Dealers Association they should
cooperate with the designers and keep
the short skirt in fashion.
When we have short skirts we can
make lovely high boots that are pleas
ing to women and give her an added
touch of beauty" said Mr.. Anderson.
Such shoes are costly, but this Is a
prosperous country and women who
can afford expensive gowns Will not
hesitate to pay $40 for boots, provided
they get style and quality. This is
true of the shop girl, too, in like ratio.
This year the skirts are TO be six,
seven and eight inches from the ground.
which means that shoes or boots are to
be high
Mr. Anderson advised the shoe men
to employ style experts who can ad-
wise their customers as to the proper
styles and color effects In shoes The
color of the shoes, he said, should in
variably match that of the gown.

THE BUSINESS LETTER

Not one woman in one hundred
knows how to write a good, plain
business letter. Judged by the simple
standard of perfect clearness and a
lack of ambiguity, half of the order
muster And, judged by standards of
simple good form, another quarter of
the letters would be. disqualified"
These were the words of a man who
has the oversight of the mail orders
of one of the largest of the high-class
department stores in the country Of
course, he does not personally peruse
these various epistles, but it is his bust
ness to command the force of mail Or
der clerks who do this work and in
ness he often has to bring his wits to
bear the letters. At any rate, he
sees enough of them in the course of
his days work to have good knowl-
edge of the leisure woman as bust
ness-letter writer.
In the first place. he went on, the
business letter ought always to be
dated at the upper right-hand corner.
This is especially desirable for matters
of reference. OF course, all the letters
that come in are dated with the date
we receive them, but in cases Of dis
puts the date on which they were sent
is also desirable. Social letters, of
course, are dated at the end by many
women, but business letters. properly,
never.
THE address should also be dis
tinctly and fully given at the head
of the letter. And the letter should
be written in the first person. 1 be-
lieve in England women usually do
write to servants in the third person.
And, of course. formal invitations go
out that way. but it Is rather absurd
as well as in bad form for the BUSH
ness letter to be couched in that way
1t frequently leads to ambiguity
simply because most women are not
familiar with that construction.
THE letter should start off with
the name of the firm and under that
either Gentlemen 'Sirs' or Dear
Sirs.' Then should come the order
Where several articles are ordered at
once they should be tabulated for con-
venience. And each object should be
described in one paragraph and then
dismissed. This is especially true
when the various orders are to be
filled in various departments With
to read the letter through for each
order. so mixed up are the descrip-
tions. Many women do not realize
that in writing a business letter but
one side of the paper should be used
The formal and usual conclusion for
such letters is Yours truly or Very
truly yours and the signature. And
| there are a lot of women who follow
the Yours truly, with their names
written thus: Mrs. John Smith The
right idea is to sign either Jane Smith
or j. NJ. Smith with the Mrs John
Smith written in brackets at the left
hand side of the signature"
