with plaits. Both wool and silk fab
RIGS are to be reckOned with In the
fall styles. and all sorts OF plaitings.
A new fall model In striped wooden
goods has recently made its debut and
is shown In the picture above. Many
ready-made skirts employ accordion
plaits, that are liked because they take
less material than other plaits and
prove as effective, as may be gathered
from the model in the picture. The
plated skirt Is easy to make at home.
One has only to buy material twice
the length of the skirt plus the width
of the hem, with sometimes a little
additional allowance for, matching
the stripes or plaids. The goods is
cut in two lengths, sewed up and the
hem put In. Then it is taken to the
professional to plait in a plating ma
chine, or one can do this work at home.
The plaits must be very thoroughly
pressed down.
When stripes running on the dag
onal are wanted, the making is less
simple, but even then presents no very
great difficulties.

This Piece of News Is Important If True

in the shirt and collar advertisements,
but 1t was clean and the colors were
conservative. Within a moment or
two after Sherman took off his coat,
however, the proprietor of the hotel
went to him and told him in a low
tone that eating In ones shirtsleeves
was contrary to the pomp and dignity
Of the establishment.
Then Sherman issued an ultlmatum.
He said he would finish his meal in
his shirtsleeves unless stopped by the
police. and that In future, If the obJec-
ton continued, he would eat at an
other hotel or on a street corner
that in any event he would not wear
coat again at mealtime until Sep
TENDER 10.
And as soon as he had finished Sher-
man went out in search OF a hotel
where shirtsleeves were not barred.
When he had found one, Sherman
made up his mind that he would give
the proprietor no cause for regret. He
resolved to make himself just as neat
and attractive as possible. So he went
straightway to a notion store and
bought himself the finest pair Of nick
el-plated, coiled wire sleeveholders
they had In stock.

cuff finishing roomy sleeve. Rows Of
white braid are stitched on with ir-
reproachable exactness as q decora-
ton to collar and sleeves, the tie is
knotted In the approved fashion and
spreads its crisp ends as 1t should.
Plain skirts appear to have passed
into the realm of forgotten things, in
plain materials, and plaits reign In
their stead. Double-bOx plaits make
saraight up-and-down lines in the skirt
of the MILDLY suit. We have to concede
that they are just the thing for it. For
these suits II is worth while to use
good materials-French and storm
serges, gaberdine. jean and other dur
able fabrics of medium weight. For
older girls the length Of the MILDLY
and It's hip lines need consideration.
These are to be snug. Skirts are
usually side plated.

Uncle Sam counts Noses" of His Seals

THE annual census of the seals,
now being taken by the bureau OF
fisheries, Is expected to show about
100000 Of the animals, or three times
as many as when the government I'M
dertoOk the custody of them a half
score years ago.
Although the seal spends much of
its life at sea. Its habits make the GEN.
sus taking comparatively easy. Hugh
M. Smith, commissioner of the bureau
Of fisheries, explains the 'count of
noses" is of importance to prevent
blind killing" of the animals for their
fur, resulting In their extinction.
Under present government control,
Mr.. Smith asserts the seals are in
creasing about 10 or II per cent m
number annually. Last years count
showed $4,000, of which 10000 were
killed for their pelts.
In the middle of Boring sea, lying 40
miles apart, are two islands-St.
George and ST. Paul-the only land to
which the seals ever resort. Every
spring they visit the islands to raise
their young, leaving in the fall to win
ter in the north Pacific. and 1t is dur
ing the summer that the census is
taken.
The killing Of the animals is also
done In the summer, this under law be-
ing confined to the surplus males.
Last year lack of labor resulted in

when 100000 seals were being killed

which nets US about $120 a skin. In

different method of conducting the

Besides the sale Of pelts, the gov
