PARIS NOTES.
What the Parisians Are
Turning Out For Spring.

What Ia lost In the width Of tho new
skirts for spring Is added to the length
In the proportion Of a yard to an inch.
Skirts are now inches longer and Ger
tainly yards narrower Where they
were ten aud twelve inches from the
ground, they are now six or seven. As
II this were not change enough. there
Is new silhouette introduced, and
that Is one that closely resembles q
barrel as far as the skirt Is concern
ed This Ia probably inspired by the
Turkish skirt that was shown by sew
eral of the couturiers last spring. Al
any rate, there are number OF the
largest creators In Paris who show
skirts Of this description.
Paquin uses II In an afternoon gown
with Russian blouse effect In the
fastenings of the buttons down one
side. otherwise the frock has straight
| lines--that IL. the waist In not lifted
snugly as II Ia In many Of the new
spring creations.
Jenny fashions a coat with this ton
neau" or barrel skirt Of light gray
broadcloth, made with the trimming
Of many rows OF stitching In a darker
shade Of gray. The barrel effect IL In
troduced between straight panels IN
the front. sides aud back Of the coat.
Even coat suits are showing the bar
rel skirt. and one sponsored by an
expert Is OF checks OF blue and white,
| trimmed with ROumanlan embroidery
The Jacket OF this suit " hip length
as are many OF the suits for spring FOL
this house.
Premet uses this type of skirt In nj
afternoon frock OF two materials
They are Joined just below tho hips
and at this point the skirt In mucl
vlder than at the bottom where II u
drawn IN considerably.
From these various couturlers II vii
be seen that there II every chance tina
skirts OF this description will be yer,
much the mode for the early sprinI
rrock. They are not unattractivc. es
pecialIy II they are not exaggerated
In line. Most Of the frocks with sucl
a skirt are sure TO have the waist 1T I
bit m6re snugly, for the outline then II
wider at the shoulders than at tn
waist. when the line goes In. and 1t un
dulates from that point to create
width at the knees and narrows con
siderably at the bottom.

A BILL TO DRAFT
THE IDLE MEN

Representative Royal C. johnson Of
South Dakota has introduced . bill
directing the president to draft into
the military service all able-bodied
citizens between the ages Of 20 and 80
who cannot prove that they are en-
gagged in some useful occupation at
least 10 months in the year. In Mr..
Johnson's opinion the passage of such
a measure will put to work thousands
of men who are not only slackers from
military service, but who do not rem
der any real good to society and are
at present largely supported by the
efforts of others. The bill has been re-
