OF Interest TO Women
FEATURES OF THE NEW ORIENTAL SKIRT
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
| NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Algerian
| skirt is an old gtory. so old that 1t
| goes back beyond the fashions of the
| last few years and gets its source
from the house of Callot. when the
three sisters were in their old place
| on the Rue Taitbout.
This skirt, most slenderly made
was the diversion of the Callot exhi-
bition during a scalding hot summer
when most of the American buyers
felt they could never go through the
ordeal of choosing clothes unless it
was over their dead bodies.
The heat was intense. the drought
was unprecedented, fruits and vegeta-
bles were lessening IN an alarming
degree, the streets were well-nigh
deserted from 0 in the morning to
6 in the afternoon. the places on
the coast from Holland to Biarritz
offered no consolation, and the Grand
Prix at Deauville was run under a
sky that sent down burning rays.
Callot's Zouave Skirt.
When weariness had developed into
a kind of mental nausea with all of
US, and there came that dread hope
lessness which accompanied long-con-
tinued heat and the necessity for per-
forming ones daily duties. Callot
sprang an Algerian, or zouave. skirt
on the atrophied buyers. 1t had it's
day this skirt. but it was sharply
modified from the original form. and
Americans wore 1t under another
name.
About four years ago Nine Cheruit
introduced it again in a different form.
and then Nine. Jenny took it up after
the great war began and insisted on
it with SO much emphasis and diver
sity Of treatment that the skirt itself
and house. 1t is called Jennys skirt
as much as the zouave. Algerian or
oriental skirt.
You may know 1t too well to bother
about reading a description of 1t, but,
to clear the minds of those who have
any doubt az to what 1t iS-there is
slight fullness at the waist line and the
material drops heavily to the hem.
where il is turned under and gathered
to short and very narrow lining. The
tasseIs which weight 1t down on each
side of the front are new touches and
did not appear with the original
models.
II is seriously doubted whether these
tassels will ever be tolerated by large
number of women, for they cannot
boast of being convenient When the
wearer dances or walks they knock
against the ankles in an unpleasant
manner that usually ends in some
black and blue bruises.

TO make the coat shown in the

a thin lining silk, and red matching

silks in high color to fade, and. as
every mother knows a color that VIII

all efforts to erase 1t. White or light
color lining silks are therefore very
safe and wise choice.

Bobby slept most of the time. You see

In the sketch given today the de-
signer has parted from the original
skirt and created a novelty by clever
manipulation of two fabrics. The ma

white checked chiffon and plain white
chiffon, are used in the oriental manner
of paneling. The plain chiffon is laid
under wide Sits of the other material
and slightly pulled out to accentuate
the oval effect. The bodice of this gown

SEW OWN DRESSES
AND DO THEIR BIT

Miss A Feske, who travels for
ness caller in the city having her head
quarters at Schempf Bros Co. store
remarked that throughout the country
there is an appreciate increase in the
use of dress patterns and that more
subscriptions were being taken for
magazines devoted exclusively to
woman's wear than ever before This
she said is due to the efforts of the
County Councils of Defense through
their circulars, urging the people to
economic in every way, not only as
regards food but clothing as well. To
sew the ordinary housedress, which so
many people are now making in order
nation, is very easy, provided one has
access, as the people of Watertown
have, to at least one good fashion mag
azine and the facilities to obtain pat
terns,".
"The sewing | have found out upon
inquiring is done in great many cases
during that time which under ordi-
nary conditions would be devoted to
the reading of some uneducational
matter. This in itself is a great help
to the home as whole for every penny
saved will raise the profit side Of the
family ledger" said she in reply to
an inquiry concerning the relative saw
ing in ready made dress, with a home
made one when time and value were
considered.
Fall styles will be along military
lines she said when asked just what
fashions were doing to help the coun-
try Military styles will save goods
for they require very little material.
The military style is not new, aud has
been in vogue for some time, but the
saving in material and cost has not
been effected until this year.

FIRE ladies FEAST
AT ANNUAL OUTING

At the grounds of the Watertown
Sauerkraut club Sunday the boys of
the Watertown volunteer fire depart
ment held their annual outing and the
memory of the day will linger, for
never did the boys have a better time
Anticipation was keen on Saturday
night when a lareg gunny sack con-
tanning $50 ears of sweet corn arrived
in Watertown by express. This was
the donation of Mayor Charles Null
berger, who knew just about what
would hit the right spot. However,
envious and evil eyes were searching
out the chance, and had it not been
for the vigilance of the executive COM
mittee who mysteriously spirited the
succulent roasting ears away to parts
unknown, some of them at least might
not have reached the club grounds as
they did early Sunday morning
A perfect day greeted the boys at
the grounds, and as early as $50
o'clock a. m. the clans began to gather,
hove in sight Dismounting, Mig Preus-
SO with powerful glasses searched the
river for submarines, but after satisfy
ing himself that all was well lent a
hand in the unloading of the fried
chicken and all the rest of the eat
ables, as we'll as several largs cakes
of ice-the latter being used to keep
the butter COOL
Breakfast over, Eddie Reichert gave
an exhibition of fancy swimming, and
his graceful movements in the water
called forth applause and encourage
ment from Chief CHASER and other spec
tators.
Soon Mayor Mulberger arrived, but
the fact that he was mayor and repre-
,Aentative in the senate did not make
ANY difference, for when "Mullie" goes
to picnic he 'shucks his coat and gets
down with the rest of them into the
heart of things.
Races being in order, Eddie Reich
ert and Skinner" took to the track, and
both races were won by Skinner" by
nose.
After q never to be forgotten dinner
during which the afore mentioned
roasting ears and roasted chicken
played a star part, wild and untamed
western broncho was led in, but the
animal rolled his eyes and scared off
the volunteer riders and the broncho
busting contest was off. About the
middle of the afternoon Herman Yanke
arrived and gave an exhibition of fancy
tight rope walking which made a de-
cided hit.
AS the evening drew near, storm
threatened, but in spite of this the glee
club with Pat Diekoff tickling his
guitar in most sensitive part dis
coursed sweet music, and the storm
clouds, disguised with a, failure to
scare the fire fighters subsidized with a
few growls
AS darkness drew on, the farewell
song was sung, and the happy and tired
bunch, with many regrets dispersed,
each and every one vowing that next
year there would certainly be another
picnic of the fire laddies.

OLD LINE DEMOCRAT,
Nate Bullock Hale and Hearty Despite
Age.

While at Jefferson on Saturday we
ran across Nate Bullock, well known
to many Watertown people. He says
he is the last one left Of his parents
family, his brothers and sisters hav-
ing preceded him in death. He has been
a resident of Johnson Creek for more
than half a. century and an old line
democrat since he cast his first vote in
the Douglas, Lincoln, Breckenridge
campaign in 1860. He has voted the
national and state democratic tickets
straight since that time, but says he
veered off occasionally on the county
ticket.
Despite his age, he is 70, he is hale
and hearty and delights in recalling
"reminiscences of early days in this
section.
