 SERVICE APPROVED

A favorable report by the House Appropriations Com ,nittee on the estimates Of the Department of Agricul- sure for $8,000 for warden service inside the boundaries of Mt. Mckinley National Park is expected, acording 70 advices received from Dr. 2. w. Nelson, Chief of the Bilogical Survey by Govern. or Thomas Riggs. Hereto fore owing to a lack of funds it has been impossible to maintain such a service.
 The inauguration of a wa, den patrol inside the park was recommended by Govern or Riggs in his annual re- port and also personally to Dr Nelson during the latters visit to Juneau last summer. Other recommendations by Go. Riggs to the Department of Agriculture are also being considered.

something of an enigma even

The other day the victor Of the

After dinner the pair walked in the
park. and presently came to the
river. Marshal Joffre admired the

MO power on earth could induce
the fair Parisienne nowadays
to entirely hide her dainty calf and
ankle under a long skirt. And
though Dame Fashion has declared
peremptorily that long skirts are
now to be worn, even the imperious
dame has had to compromise with
madamoiselle.
She has done 1t in many artful
ways. For instance. In the very
latest Partisan gowns the skirt falls
in a panel past her boot tops behind
but in front the drapery reaches
only a little below the knees. Thus,
aided by open-work stockings and
boots with the latest mother of-pearl
ornamentation, the ladies' ankles
work their witchery over mankind
as of yore.
The Washington times., 1921-10-30

There arc many who are loathe
, 70 give up the freedom and un-
restraint of the moderately short
skirt to follow the leadership OF
Paris. This intimates the advent or
, independence in the fashion worif
in America. Ten years ago we woula
all have followed Paris and worn
long skirts. Today Washington
girls wishing to appear conspicuous
will wear very short skirts. A few
win adopt the extremely long skirts.
The two extremes will be worn and
no one can tell which sensation any
individual will adopt. The majority
OF Washington women will lengthoh
their skirts a little, but not much
this winter. The matron's gown
will be considerably longer, but tbs
miss has accepted the moderate
skirt.
THE one salient note this season
i that has been added to the
straight dress is the uneven HEM
line. This IL achieved either by
the cut, by draperies. or panels, ana
very often by the apron tunic. In
the extensive collection of imported
gowns at Woodward and Lothrop's,
an afternoon gown deserves speclal
note. since Il not only interprets
the uneven hem line but also intro
duces something new in the manner
of trimming. It is q Renee model
fashioned Of crepe Jersey. IN q soft
tan. called Chondron.
Worn over . slip, the seamless
skirt, which II q prominent feature
of many Of tho imported models. Is
effectively draped and a wide velvet
sirdle in the same shade accentu-
ates the low-bloused waist limo. On
this French gown that is otherwise
quite plain and unsdorned there are
sleeves that start out quite simply
enouRh to be moderate sleeves. They
then decide to fall in long panels
hanging below the skirt. and to be
trimmed with masses Of little brown
velvet leaves. tho tips Of which arc
dipped in wax, giving a beaded ef-
feet.
Speaking Of trimmings, Egyptian
sculpture and art are q fertile
source for the designer who looks
for q new note In the much-used
embroidery Of tho present mode. No
less fruitful for color and decoration
are the Chinese pictures which
costumers find replete with new
ideas. From this source they draw
grotesque figures. unique scrolls
and beautiful oolors.
