OF Interest to Women
FRINGE MAY HAVE A REVIVAL
by ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

When we let fringe slip out of the
not because we had by any means eX-
hausted the subject, but because, for the
time being. our attention was diverted
by other ornamentations. Moreover
fringe had become too popular. Inc
makers of wearing apparel for women
classed as "stouts" had invested in IT
too lavishly and too many women of the
proportions appealed to by these dress
makers had conceived the idea OF wear
ing long black silk fringe combined with
black satin as means Of making them
selves look more svelte They seemed
to forget that this fringe would sway
yslth all the eagernesS of an Hawaiian
grass skirt. thus accentuating the Wad-
ding tendency characteristic OF ,he
type.
Fringe Again.
So the use of long black fringe got
to be almost a joke Hence its tenn
porary exit from the stage of fashion.
Now 1t is coming back in fact, IT mas
returned in France. and is one OF the
new things that we are sure to favor.
But 1t will be used more sparingly and
consequently more effectively. OFTEN
the fringe will be produced by cutting
the fabric as the Indians used to cut
the edge of leather garments by way of
preyiding them with an ornamental nm
ish. Quite popular in France Is a cer-
tain type of oxford with an extension of
the tongue that is fringed in this way
and hangs over the lacing. This Is real
ly a notion borrowed from certain In
dian moccasins, and it may be that 1t
will come to us by way of France.
In the meantime here and there you
NAV see good evidences that the fringe
idea is being revived. Take the striped
tweed sport skirt worn recently by
smart woman noted for her sportsman
shin and good taste 1t had the conven-
tional cross pockets and over each one
from the belt hung strip of the striped
tweed, supplied with buttonhole and
finished with strip of the fringed ma
teriak The buttonholes fastened over
the pockets by means of large pearl but
tons sewed on the outside of the pockets.
Tweed From Scotland.
And, by the way. this skirt was OF
striped tweed. a material so hard to get
NOWADAYS that one is always filled with
curiosity and envy when one sees 1t.
Very often 1t has been brought straight
from the home of all tweeds, Scotland.
We are getting back to the old custom
of regarding length of goods as very
acceptable sort of present. and returned
travellers know or should know that
some splendid all-wool material from
England or Scotland, some linen from
Ireland or France, is worth more tnan
its weight in the usual souvenirs to the
American woman

warn you of danger"

course, I didn't know what the danger
was or Just where it was. L sat still
as long as I could. Then I started to
steal away up the bank Of the Laughs
ing Brook and walked almost into
that old sinners mouth. At the Same
instant I saw your hole and dived in
to it, 1t was one of the narrowest
escapes I have ever had. If that hole
hadn't been right where 1t is / would
be right inside of Old Man Coyote this

outside now and I don't know how I

one thing, and that is that he will
wait a good long time for that dinner.
I hope you will let me stay. Jerry"

was some one out in that long hall
coming toward that bedroom. There
was no doubt about it.
What should he do? Peter didn't

he had entered. But If he did that
it might be to- find Old Man Ceyote

Is argued further that new school building would be required in the vil- age of Pawcatuck, where the Lor- raine mill is located. It seems that in the days that have gone the wise men of Pawcatuck arranged for the future of the village, when the large and handsome brick West Broad street schoolhouse was erected. Provision was made for four large rooms to meet the needs of the future and these are now available. They are on the top floor of the big building and could be made ready for use at compara lively small expense. It appears to be a case of any old stick to lick dog. and at this time the Lorraine Manufacturing company is apparently the dog.
