Draping Is Interesting

The draping Of strings of jet jewels
is the interesting feature trimming of
this gown Of Premet's. Against the
lighter color they are always posed,
and they are allowed to swing In loose,
long lines, contributing their effect to
the general gathering-together Of lines
which oil tend in up and down and
exaggerated directions. Ladies' must
be tall in the modern clothes, and tall
without the slightest interruption to
that scheme. Even If they are short
to begin with, they are still expected
to wear clothes to make them long
looking in spite Of themselves. And
for the ladies who are really tall to
begin with-why there is no end to
the heights they will manage to reach
with the aid of the modern dress.
They must not be afraid of their own
exaggerated lines, that is all. They
must frankly accept the fact that they
are the leaders Of style and play into
the hands of the dressmakers who
wish to use every atom of the height
which is theirs by natural birthright.
Poiret is usually noted for doing the
outre thing In the way of women's
dress. He is the insurgent In the

Outfit of This Sort is Important to
the Sportswoman; Affords Many
Pleasing Changes.

Hats with scarfs to match are i'm
portant In the sportswoman's ward
robe. If smart and unusual they are
the means Of effecting numerous pleas
ing changes Of costume quite inex-
pensively. Lovely tweed hats have
been imported. These have upturned
brims and conicil crowns. Although
they come in as many, colors as
Joseph's famous coat, the red and
black tweeds are especially smart.
White duvetyn hats and scarfs are
among the late arrivals. In note
worthy set of this sort the scarf is
lined with white crepe de chine and
the pointed ends are ornamented with
appliqued motifs of black kid. The
hat, a round model, has similar
trimming beneath the brim, thus add
Ing to Its becomingness by relieving
he severity OF the dead white felt.

strained, are taboo, and altogether the
best of the fresher dresses of this sort
have resolved themselves into quite
classic affairs.
Quite interesting are the newest of
the dresses from three of the leading
Partisan couturiers. They are Jenny,
Poiret and Premet, each of whom Is
entitled to distinct command for
fashion as 1t exists and shall exist. All
the waistlines are as long as Is consist
ent with a picturesque effect. The
material Is the only real consideration
about the gowns, and, while the skirts
are long, they are not unduly so, to
instigate riot in the camp of those
who hate to see the skirts of dresses
drop too far.
SparkIes With BriIllancy.
Jenny's dress is made of black crepe.
The French call 1t "crepe moroccan
noir." 1t Is then trimmed with the

THE BUCKETSHOP EVIL.

1t is little surprising to read that
in some sections of the north the
failures of some of the bucketshops
have caused feeling of some "un-
easiness," and that some, people who
had money in the banks were fright
ened into withdrawing their money.
Commerce and Finance, the New
York financial paper, in a recent is
sue tells Of one incident that carries
its own lesson. A depositor who had
his entire wealth in the keeping OF
an entirely safe bank, drew it out in
a lump. He was making his way
from the bank with $4,000 in his
pockets, presumably to secrete 1t
Somewhere, when he had fainting
spell. When he revived, he found
that his money had been stolen.
AS a matter Of fact, the wedding
out of these bucketshops is the best
thing that could happen for the
country. They have been absorbing
thousands of dollars that should have
been invested in profitable enterpri-
ses, and the failures have resulted
in the exposure Of methods out of
which the public ought to profit.
The fact has been impressed upon
the minds of the people that play
ing the market, under the direction
Of bucketshop. is losing game for
the man or woman who entrusts
money to these institutions.

FOREsTs-oF THE FUTURE.

Fifty years ago New York produc-
ed more lumber from its forests than
any other State. Now it produces
less than one-tenth Of the country's
supply. ! !
This is partly due, of course, to
the nations increased use of lumber,
but the greater reason is the wan
ton destruction of the forests with
out replacing them.
States that are planting trees, on a
big scale are preparing much wealth
for their future residents.
The more any State conserves its
natural resources, and develops its
power, the more attractive it will be
in the next generation, and the great
er the prosperity Of its inhabitants
