Skirt Bears Burden of Trimming
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Fashion has seldom offered such a
variety of skirts. They are long and
they are short. They are full and
they are scant.
Full skirts may show a bouffancy
at the hips or they may be snug at
the hips with f1aring fullness below,
suggestive of the fashions of old
India.
A dozen new frocks chosen at ran
dom show a dozen varieties of skirts.
There is the 1880 skirt, full and
wide, at the hips, opening at the front
over a lace underskirt. Another bout
FAINT skirt is short at front and back,
with lace-trimmed sides forming
trains to right and left. third full
skirt is of second empire mode
organdie elborated with a bakers
dozen of narrow organdie ruffleS.
Among draped skirts there might
be one draped in the Egyptian man.
ner upward at the front and another
draped in the Grecian fashion. There
are skirts with enormous bustles at
the back and draped skirts with
huge bows at one hip. There are
straight plated skirts and accordion
plated skirts that flare. When sport
skirts are not straight plated affairs,
they are usually straight, fairly short
and rather scant. The distinctive
at the front, while circular fiounces
give distinction to others. Tucks
are coming into prominence on skirts
and are sometimes placed round
about and sometimes up and down!
The question of skirt lengths has
ceased to be one that eXcites much
interest. 1t is a question settled as
you like it. But the prediction Is
made here and there that skirts are
going to be shorter before they are
any longer In other words, the ex-
tremely long skirt will very often
give place to the ankle-length skirt
even for evening frocks. Many times
the skirt that ends above the ankles
will be used. This is a prediction
possibly more interesting in Paris,
where the really long skirt has been
generally adopted, than in this coun-
try, where women have been much
more conservative in giving up the
short skirt.
The prediction is also made that
side panels and side drapery gener-
ally will be less smart as the weeks
pass and that the skirt that is tight
in back and draped toward the front
or otherwise ornamented at the front
will assume greater and greater i'm
portance. But this is mere con-
lecture.
In the meantime designers are
using ingenuity in producing new
and interesting skirt trimmings.

Now. three crying little Bears can

Boxer had forgotten. He had forgot

1t. He should have remembered the
time when he and his twin sister,

Woof had done exactly what the
triplets were now doing; they had
scrambled frantically as high as
they could and had bawled as hard
as they could. Mother Bear had
heard them and had arrived just in
time.
But this had been so long ago that
Boxer had forgotten all about IT.
When those little cups began to cry
Boxer hesitated. He glanced this way
and that way nervously. He had for
gotten that little Bears have voices
ard know how to use them. But that
very crying made him angrier than
ever. That anger overcame his COM
mon sense. He began to climb again.
But he was only half way up the
tree when he heard a crashing in the
brush some distance away. He knew
what it meant. He knew that Mother
Bear had heard those cries and was
coming. For just a second more

faster than he had started up. The
crashing in the brush dew nearer
at surprising rate. 1t was clear
that Mother Bear was coming in a
hurry.
Boxer let go and dropped. Yes. sir.
he let go and dropped. He couldn't
take the time to climb down. And
1t was well for him that he dropped
just when he did. Just as he struck
the ground out from among the trees
plunged Mother Bear! Boxer had
just one glimpse of her as he scram-
bied to his feet. and that one glimpse
was enough. She was terrible sight
was Mother Bear! With roar OF
rage she leaped at Boxer. Boxer
squealed with fright and started TO
! run. He was just too late. Some
thing struck him as he had never
been struck before and sent him tum-
bling heels over head. 1t was one OF
Mother Bears big paws.
1t was well for Boxer that he was
young and quick. He was on his feet
before Mother Bear could reach him
/ a second time. Then how he did run!
My, my, my. how he did run. And
with every jump he whimpered with
fright.

Here Is a family name originally
descriptive of the bearer by refer

One of these is the name of COM

Bulk keley. 1t may also at various
times have been countryside name

tions of England. The ley" in the
speech of the medieval English. often
meant an inclosed place or pasture
for animals, and Bulkeley was origi-
nally simply a "bullock-ley."
This, however, does not explain

which are to be found in the medieval
records. "de Bokele" and de Bucley."

name. AS was the rule, these prefixes
in the vast majority of cases were
dropped as meaningless after a gen

There are three ways in which we
may read the Bible.
We may enjoy 1t as literature.
We may see in 1t a noble and i'm
passioned Interpretation of nature
and life. uttered in language of
beauty and sublimity, touched with
the vivid colors of human person
ality and embodied in forms of en-
during literary art.
We may study 1t as a collection of
historical books, written under cer-
tain conditions. and rejecting in their
contents and in their language the
circumstances in which they were
produced.
This is the aspect In which criti-
cism regards the Bible, and Its intel
lectural interest. as well as dts relig-
ious value, is greatly enhanced by such
study.
We may come to its as the inspired
guide to faith and conduct And this
Is the point of view from which II
appears most precious.
None of these three ways of study
ing the Bible Is hostile to the others.
On the contrary. they are helpful to
ono another. because each of them
gives US knowledge of a real factor
in the marvellous influence of the
