Impulse of Petitioners.

A brusque theatrical manager,
whose uncouth manners are well
known in New York, was in his office
the other day after lunch. His feet
we're on top of his desk, his coat off,
his hat on and. black cigar fitting
upward from his lips.
A very pretty young girl came in
unannounced, looking for job. She
gave the immediate impression of gen
tie manners and culture. AS she talked
her refinement evidently impressed
the manager, who had not moved.
Finally, as though a fine thought
had struck him, he said 81 beg par
don, young lady, but do you mind If
I remove my hat?'

an individual achievement. That Is
the way to be really well dressed.
The lessons to be learned from the
French women in this respect are nu-
merous. A French woman regards
primarily the lines of her own figure,
the shape of her own head and the
setup of her own personality. A GER
tain line suits her figure. She looks
upon that as a fixed point and around
If reyOlyes the building of the clothes
of a new season. She does not see
STYLES as things in themselves, she
sees them only as possible adaptations
to herself. And If she finds new
thing that fits in with her ideas of
herself she bites at 1t like a trout at
fly. She never buys gown solely be-
cause it is beautiful. She never al
lows herself to stay out Of the picture
long enough to consider the dress as
a separate entity, and, what is more,
she accomplishes her end with clever
ness and thought and usually with
great artistic success.
Importance of the Lines.
The general lines are the first to be
considered, and all signs point to GER
tain changes in silhouette. For in
stance, the fullness over the hips Is
gradually declining. That seems to be
a certainty, for all the reports from
the English and French races say that
the lines of the silhouette are straight
and uncompromising. They say the
chemise dress is still in favor. For
that fact many will give thanks, for
this dress has come to be greatly
loved. SO much can be done with IT
in the way of variations. 1t is so vast
" becoming to many figures and Its
possibilities of adaptation are too won
derful TO be lightly cast aside. Proof
of its desirability lies in the fact that
II returns repeatedly to the fore ranks
of fashion.
There is q heated discussion going
on about the ever-variable length of
sleeves and skirts. Last year at this
time our skirts In America very near
" touched the ground,and chung about
the feet. Now they. have sprung sky
high, and everybody-even those who
swore they could not do it's pleased
ms can be over the change. Will the
short skirt stay with us for another
season. French and English society
women predicted that skirts would
lengthen, but as n matter of fact
they do not seem to be one whit long
Ier. All the photographs which are be-
ing sent from the races show skirts
that we'll nigh touch the knees by way
of length, for the French always have
worn them much shorter than ours.
American women, too, have become
used to the more abbreviated skirt
lengths, and common sense would lead
one to suppose that the skirt would
remain short for the coming season.
However, the only fault in that heavy
reasoning is that common sense does
not always rule the ways of fashion,
and for the actual decision one will
have 10 walt until the fall styles have
