They allow greater freedom in walking gath CT less dust wear longer, and petit lockers may be adjusted to suit any length of skirt. Both these very prac- tieal garments will be featured in the annual displays of underthinSs as soon as Christmas shopping is over. Besides being practical they have been made up attraCtiveiy, many of them in rather heavy wash satin and silks, in bright colorS for the knickers, and in darker shades for the pettibockers.

TN THE sixteenth century romanceS
 of ehiyalry, written in absurd, ex- N aggerated style, were extremely popular in Spain.
 A dignified gentleman by the name of Ouixada, who lived between Aragon and Castle, went crazy over these foolish books, which he spent all his substance in buying. His brain was stuffed with entertainments, quarrels, battles, challenges, wounds, magic SalveS, complaints. amourS, torments, giants, castles, captured maidens, gal lant rescues, and all sorts of impossi- ble deeds of daring, which seemed to him as true as the most authentic his tory. Every inn-keeper was mag nate: every mule-driver a cavalier.
 He decided that for his own honor and for the service of the world. he must turn knight terrant ana 1aunt through the world, redressing wrongs rescuing captured princesses, and at last winning the imperial sceptre of Trapizonda.
 He changed his name to Don ltulAOIP ue ld AdlNllds EpI Ai'Nai dubbed knight by rascally publican, whose inn he thought was castle with four turrets crowned with pin nacles of glistening silver, In order to carry full purse he sold one of his houses, mortgaged another and borrowed a goodly sum from friend When his practical hOusekeeper and his pretty niece. together with his neichbors, the barber and the curate, thought to cure him by burning his books, he was persuaded that his library had been carried away by q necromaneer, and became crazier than ever. He secured up rusty suit of mail which had belonged to one of his ancestors, mended the broken helmet with pasteboard yizor, patched witA thin iron plates, and thus accoutered set forth on his old hack Rocinante, whose ribs stuck out like the skeleton of ship, accompanied hy rustic named Sancho Panza, persuaded into serving as his squire.
 Their departure was a brave spec tacle: rhe tall, cadaycrous, lantern tawed knight mounted on his bony nag, yielding his long lance and car rying his sword, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm and dreaming of his beautiful mistress, whom he called Dulcinea del TobOso; the short, squat, paunch-bellied, long-haunched servant with a canvas wallet and q leathefn bottle. mounted on the diminutiye ass, Dapple.
 On the plains of Montiel stood a score of big wind-mlls. Don Quixote took them for outrageous giants and prepared to do battle against them and despite Sancho's protests that their huge arms were only vanes he plunged the rowelS Into Rocinantes thin Hanks and with couehed lance dashed off to the encounter.
