the society editor has worked over
time trying TO keep up with the
many entertainments given by the
young .c0ple. All Saints was duly
celebrated in Catholic oathodrals on
Tuesday with quito large attend
ancc at all services. Society func-
tiors were few thai day among those
who obey the mandates Of the Cath
olic church. There is wide differ

which is the Fete Of All Saints Fete
des Mortcs, or the Feast ~ the Dead.
The bells at midnight sound and
again at dawn: tho inristcnt ring

services at early morn and again,
mass at high noon.
The problem Of fashions domain
these days - whether TO wear ones
skirts long or short, II has already
been predicted that Paris IS wear
ing them long and that America WIN
fall in with this change In the
-r-ir. TIN" wiil tell whether
American women will follow Paris
In this cdict OF Cne thing We are
made TO realize and that is that all
Paris news pictures as glimpscd In
tho international films seen at all
our picture ahows, show the women
ot Paris with sis lirts 20 The shoe tons
Women in New orleans have taken
up the fad OF wearing knickcrbock-
crs. In this so the press states they
are following the fashion set by
northern and western women who
are getting out or thiS battle Of
whether or not to change their skirt
lengths. Daring damgels have found
this way and are leading the deHl-
tantes who are startling New Or
leans with the strange new fashion
or they are caring the Paris length,
eight inches from the floor. II IL
said that one clever girl, d!sliking
such radical change Ia length
has turned her bolt over time or
so and Is gradually letting her skirt
fail. At the Confederate reunion
held Last week in Chattanooga. to
the obscrvant who admired tho gor-'
gcrus gowns worn by tho exclusive
women OF the south who were on
the spons0rial staffS tho knc0-
gowned body brushed elbows with
the almost ankle-Eownod body and
they looked ut each other and
gasped nj the difference and mother
was quite free I'm her maind AZ TO
which was quite the proper thing.
But, % the mind OF the observer
aCain, there was but one conclusion.
Grace and beauty marked the entire
costume Of the women who had al
ready taken TO the ParisiaP idea
Of tho long skirt. IN tho moan
time, New orleans. Americas Paris
in more than one phase Is snicNer-
ing at the knickcr-clad who have
dared to don the semi i-maIe attire.
Would that radicalism Would con-
fine itself to whore 1t belongs, IL 1t
belongs anywhere and would stay
away from the fashion sheet. Would
that woman would declare herself
immune from the oddities OF dress
when II comes to the extreme. Let
us have changes in style, Colors ana
fabric, but let woman preserve her
dignity and retain her modosty by
wearing sufficient length and width
OF skirt TO protect her from tho caEe-
less speech OF an uukind populace.
This Is not an Old-f shiOncd idea
either, for there Is no man on the
face OF the earth but who admirca
the women who protects her appear
ance in this way.
