IS FASHION TO TAKE UP SHEATH SKIRT? GARMENT CAUSES CONTROVERSY Many Varieties and Shades of Opin= ion Offered==Managers of Moun= tain Resorts Welcome Innovation ==Expert Denies There Is Psy= chology in Dress. New York.—Mixed in with all the other burning questions of the hour is the problem, 10 sheathe or not to shea he? You can get as many dif ferent opinions as there are people to consult. It does not seem to affect the seaside hotels so much. As long as there are beaches and bathing the im portance of the feminine costume with regard to the success of the season is small. But with the managers of the moun tain resorts it is different. To quote one of them: It's all very well to talk scenery and sanitation, the lovely views and the good food—that used to go, hut when a man can take a boat or an auto and get all these in an hour or two from Broadway he isn't going to take a hot. dusty ride for tlte same result. If we could sprinkle a few of these sheath skirts along the mountain verandas there is no doubt that the extremely painful sight, so familiar to the managers at present, of an Adam less Eden without even a serpent would pass away.” One of them with imagination pic tures the scene as he has witnessed it and as it might be: As Affecting Women. ‘ Did you ever watch a lot of wom en trying to make out that they are perfectly happy, sewing and playing bridge and gossiping on the hotel bal cony, every one mad as a hatter he cause she has been beguiled there in the belief either that she would have a flirtation herself or the opportunity “I agree with my husband, who says ‘hat there is nothing more attractive t! in toe sight of a charming 1-e m-b-g 'o>:timed in silk openwork through a i 01 “ning, but not the cook's -i e ii-g, if you please. I look forward wi h horror to the time when she will pi'* the soft shell crabs and the char lotte russe in a costume of that de scription. No split skirts in my house hold. if you please.” Made a Sensation. To one of the conservative stores downtown a young woman came the other day, quietly appareled as to color and cut of her dress, but with her navy blue gown coquettishly slit to the knee, displaying a dark blue silk stocking and a Louis Quinze slipper of small proportions. She began to buy some veiling with nonchalant ease, and the girl behind :he counter wait ed upon her, ignorant of the distinc tion conferred. Not for long. First a cash girl makes the discovery and brings a twin to see that she has not made a mistake. The news flies about the shop; it reaches the bargain counter and other places. There is a sudden stampede, and in the midst of it the patron, with a ; scorching look at the crushing crowd. which will hardly allow her to move, j makes her way to the entrance and thence with a flying leap enters a taxi, whose driver looks down open mouthed | and eyed to get her directions. Disap 1 pointed faces frame the door, and one material below the waist, known to day as the Paquin cut. The success of the sheath, then as now, depended on its clinging to the figure, showing every line and curve, and ending at the feet with a fad of drapery suggest ed by the sculptured draperies of the Greek statues, if you note a carefully made sheath skirt turned out at the Paquin establishment, or at any other of the Parisian houses, you will easily trace the Hellenic resemblance, and in fact, in some places the sheath is known as the Ionian skirt on this ac count. “To make the sheath a success great attention must be given to the undergarments. Paquin designed for it a new style of bloomers, so that ^petticoats need not be worn and the waist and hip lines should not be destroyed by a lot of un necessary material. These bloom ers fit closely .to the figure and are fulled slightly above the knee —not too much, mind—and have a few rows of lace put on without very much surplus, just sufficient to give the dainty and feminine touch to a gar ment which is not essentially attrac tive. “All the models in his place wore i these bloomers at first with the sheath skirts. Now silk tights or fleshings ! are worn if required, as many women who wear the sheaths prefer them, ; just as many prefer to spoil their , shape with the intrusion of the old style petticoat or drop, which should never be worn with them. Producing the Scft Fall. “The soft fall about the feet which i is so much admired by the aesthetical ! ly inclined is produced by various de | vices, usually small shot which are i sewed to a band of tape, which in turn I is fastened to the edge of the skirt or I a few inches from the edge, as pre i ferred. Paquin used a rubber band at the knee which went around the skirt and drew it in to give the required ef j feet when walking, and some of the ; sheath skirts have two rubber loops ; through which the foot passes, but ; ihis style, although it gives the sheath walk all right, is very trying to an ac tive minded woman, as she must never i forget them, and while she may not mind the self-consciousness she does mind the discomfort. “I remember one of my first views of the new sheath skirt was at the Paquin establishment, and a model— one of those lovely girls they have there—began joking and laughing and insisted that she could step just as far in a sheath skirt as in other kind. She tried it and tore the costume all to pieces along the sides. After that the sheath walk was adopted, which is fancies and fads that woman has been taught to believe arc the symbols of her power, and that she has little real sympathy with the republican sim plicity that would be foisted upon her by a minority of her sex. She eschews everything that is severe, rigid, mas culine, and riots in the distinction drawn between her gowning and that of women who are trying to waken their sex to something more important than chiffons. Simply Swing of Pendulum. “Paris show'ed the same tendencies right after the simplicity enforced by the French revolution, and every crisis of history there has had a similar ef fect. The prevalent fashions of to-day are the fashions of the boudoir, of the drawing room, of the auto, not of the business or the professional world. “A few years ago business and pro fessional women saw iu the adoption of the tailor mades, the short walking skirt and various other utilitarian modes a disappearance of the lines of demarcation between classes. To-day ihey are looking with dismay at the chasm that is opening. "Take the sheath shirt as example. A working woman must eliminate that from h r wardrobe. Site could not ap pear in court, at her business desk in it. not only because it would be ; physically impossible for her to do her work so swathed but also because it . would bring into business and profes ; rional life the very feminine element j riie is trying to keep away. “The sheath skirt woman is opposed body and soul to her sex's freedom. The gowning of to-day is a challenge. ; Use all the arguments you have at your disposal, one woman says to her ■ sister of the other world, and we will I destroy them with the waving of a | scarf and the curve of a figure in a ! clinging gown." An expert on woman's dress who has given “7 years of his life to its | study poohpoohs the idea that there is any such psychology in dress. “Nothing of the kind," he says, firm ly. He says it as one who knows. “1 do not think it is necessary to find occult explanations for such obvious I facts. Peris Needed the Money. “The truth of the matter is that Paris is hard up. She has suffered severely from our little panic. Russia too. one of her wealthy patrons, has also fallen off in her orders. Paris hasn't known what to do and has put her wits to work to evolve something to appeal to a jaded taste and above all to the American market. “Whether we will prove gullible I t A dUGOEdrm fOB /EE StftmEf?

"1'nless the sheath skirt gets too common I am inclined to believe that it might do a great deal to relieve this situation, but mind, I say might, not will. I'd be willing to furnish some skirts on spec if 1 could get the wom en to do their part.” When it Strikes the Kitchen. The woman of the domestic variety, i whom magazine editors study closely to find out what to give the world to read, asks with a deep wrinkle be tween the eyes that denotes unaccus tomed thought: “What will happen when the style strikes the kitchen?" “It always does," she says. "G^t something new and next week Aggie f* or Nora or Mary has it in an exag gerated form. “Our maid at present wears striped stockings, not stripes running up and down but round and round.

POi£S middle aged woman says cattily "What did she expect?" In this same store a buyer, a woman of many years' experience,* is in the same uncertainty as to the sheath skirt as every one else, but she has some information to give about it. Invention of Paquin. When Paquin died," she explains, "he told his wife on his deathbed that the sheath skirt, already known in the trade as the Paquin skirt, would be popular, and Paquin made few mis takes Bui the sheath skirt of which he spoke did not have the latest im provement—if you call it that. It was simply a sheath, not a directoire sheath, and w as not slit. The first skirts made at his estab lishment had an unusual effect in the front, just a slight looseness of the 6l/GG£3T/Oft ft)ft 5lJM/t£R /?£SOPT AftlftR. 7 r / cmr/M£/mftfo/?m i/mpv h'm//£L£ Tpf/fUPfSdfS UP the necessary result of the bands and shot." Another buyer thought there had been unnecessary fuss over the sheath skirt. Puritanical Ideas Criticised. "The very people who will sit on a beach and watch the short skirted swimmers, standing, sitting and run ning about, displaying lines and curves with generous abandon, are the very people who have these Puritanical out bursts at the mere idea of showing the same amount ot figure on the street. Why is it?" she asked. The pulpit has denounced the sheath skirt, which ought to encourage the makers, and one of the leading lights in the suffrage cause has come boldly forward in its favor. The stage backs and fills. A club woman interviewed on the subject says that she considers the new style to have a distinctly psycho logic significance, as all fashions have. “All along the line you will notice a frantic effort on the part of the wom en to show the world that they are clinging fast to the womanly charms of seductive dress, to the frills and cannot say, for it is as difficult to prognosticate here as in the publish ing or the theatrical world. When The Old Homestead’ runs a thousand nights you are surprised when the people suddenly demand ‘The Soul Kiss;’ when the romantic drama seems to be absorbing the literary world and writers are busy studying history, the taste veers and nothing but 'Dolly Dialogues' will sell; when you think women are at last cutting out the futile and adhering more close ly to utilitarian standards they shriek for sheath skirts with rubber bands to hamper their walk, as a Chinese wom an's shoes bind her feet. "One thing we do know. Fashions never really present anything new. There is only a continual turning of the wheel. The sheath skirt is not any newer than a gray hair or a wrinkle. During the Directory it was one of a thousand styles. Paris was mad, crazy at that time. License reigned in everything, especially in dress and manners, but even Paris did not care for the style any longer than the three months, and if dear old naughty Paris drew the line it would seem that we ought to cut it out.” RIGID DISCIPLINE IN BERLIN. Germans Not Only Obey Rules, but Are Unhappy Without Them. The Berliners, and the rest of the Germans, are the most governed peo ple on earth, says Everybody’s. They like it and howl for more. They have restrictions of all kinds placed on the order of their daily lives, but they are USed to it. Indeed, they have arrived at a sort of mental state in which they look to the authorities to tell them what to do, and how to do it, in every contingency. "Verboten!” is the Ger man word that has the greatest vogue, so far as I was able to see. “Forbidden:” stares them in the face everywhere. They are regulated in all sorts of ways, down to the manner they shall conduct themselves in their houses. There is a certain time for beating rugs, a certain time for every thing else. You can move your house hold goods only in a certain way. You cannot shake a dust rag out of the win dow. You cannot do this and you can not do that, and, they told me, after you once get accustomed to it. it is a comfortable way to live. It absolves you from thought if you know what hours there are for doing your work and how you must do it. If a cab knocks you down in tfle street, you are arrested for obstructing the traffic. Your place is on the sidewalk. Every Berliner does exactly what he is expected to do. and you must do the same. As an example of now well trained they are: They are not obliged to have guards on the underground trains in Berlin. The Berlin folks know they are expected to shut the doors, and they shut them. If you observe their regulations you are not dis turbed, but if you violate one of them you instantly get into more kinds of trouble than you had imagined could exist. All you are expected to do is to walk a chalk line, and you can be hap py, if the regulations allow the kind of happiness that agrees with you. The Girl and the Woman. There is this difference between the girl and the woman: The first knows nothing and tells everything, the ether knows everything and tells nothing.—Exchange. SOME WILD ANIMAL TRAGEDIES. Hunters Find Proof of Savage Doings in the Woods. When we laid hands upon Huffman’s . prize and examined it a strange and in | teresting story of wild animal life was j revealed, says W. T. H. Hornaday in Scribner’s. About three months pre viously, that is to say about August ! 1, that deer had been leaped upon from above, by a mountain lion. Its i right ear was fearfully torn and there j was a big wound on the top of the j neck where the skin and flesh had j been torn open. The main beam of the ! right antler had been broken off half way up, while the antlers were still in the velvet. The ends of the broken antler had healed over in a way that enabled it to fix the date of the en counter writh a fa’> degree of accuracy. Both the hind legs had been either clawed or bitten, but we could not surely determine which. A few days later we found about two miles above our camp, close beside the dry bed of Hell creek, the story of an other wild animal tragedy. On a tiny bit of level bottom land, which was well planted wuth thick clumps of tall sagebrush, there lay the well-gnawed remains of a male deer. Close beside the skeleton was a round hole in the earth, like a post-hole, made by the waters of the creek, about two feet in diametc?r and five feet deep. This hole contained about two-thirds of the hair that once had covered the deer. As sure as fate that yawning hole, which lay like a hidden trap under the long grass and the drooping branches of the sage brush, had been the undoing of the luckless deer. It seemed to us that while being chased by wolves the deer had landed heavily on that spot, with both its fore legs in the hole, and before it could scram ble out a wolf, or several wolves, had pounced upon it, cut its throat in quick time and afterward devoured the animal as it lay across the opening.

Fifty Tears of I Ocean Cable ANMVF,'RSARY OF ITS LAYING WILL OCCUR //y AUGUST ra CYRUti W rn^RD --70 OLD BILIK BUILDING 7ZRMHTU5 Of TZUXiJLL ay duxbory PIKING OUT TrX •GUBUT Just JO years ago next August, on the seventeenth day of the month, t'ne first telegraphic message across the Atlantic via the new cable was sent from England to America. The mes sage was of 90 words, from Queen Victoria to President Buchanan. It took 67 minutes to transmit. It was the first tangible proof that one of the greatest attempts of man in the field of science had succeeded. When a little company of men. un der the leadership of Cyrus \V. Field, began to organize for the purpose of bringing the old world and the new within speaking distance of each oth er by means of a protected thread of wire across the Atlantic, they were hooted at as madmen. Capitalists who invested their money in the scheme were thought by their friends to have become bereft of reason. Few imag ined the feat possible. By tornial agreement, on September 29, 1856, the Atlantic Telegraph com pany was organized. Its object was "to lay. or cause to be laid, a subma rine cable across the Atlantic.” Among those prominent in the form ing of the company were Peter Coop j or, Chandler White, Moses Taylor, 1 Marshall O. Roberts and Cyrus W. ! Field. The first step in the program was I to be the laying of a cable across the Gulf of St. Lawrence, from Cape Ray Cove to Cape North The first trial was disastrous, because of a furious storm, but in the following year the cable was successfully laid. New foundland was to be the w-estern term inus. Assistance was obtained from the I'nited States, Newfoundland and English governments. The rnited States frigate Niagara, which was de tailed to assist in submerging the cable, went to England April 24, 1857. The coiling of the cable in Liverpool occupied thtee weeks. A strand of seven copper wires composing the conductor, occupied the center. There was a gutta percha insulation, a cov ering of specially prepared hemp, and then the outer covering of iron wire, for protecting the cable. Five large cones were arranged in the hold of the Niagara, round which the cable was coiled. The length car ried made a total of 1.264 miles. The remainder was carried by the English ship Atramemnon. 1,700 nautical miles being required between the temini at Newfoundland and Ireland. Spe cially constructed and complicated apparatus was designed for paying out, and, if need be, winding in the cable. Nature seemed to favor the proj ect, for extending along the bed of the ocean, exactly between the two points to be connected, is a great pleateau, like an immense prairie, stretching over an extent of 1.400 miles from east to west, with an average depth of about two miles. As it approaches the Newfoundland coast it is entirely free from the effects of icebergs which ground on shallow bottoms. In every other part, the ‘Atlantic is character ized by abrupt declivities and moun tain heights. Another advantage was found in the deposit of infusoria, covering the bottom in abundance The material showed a tendency to unite with the iron wire protecting the cable, thus forming a concrete mass, making in effect a bed of down for the cable to rest upon. The landing of the cable in Dolus bay was successfully accomplished on | the fitli of August, 1857. Never before [ had such a mass of people assembled I on the shores of that bay. They came from miles around—from their huts i on the steep hillsides and the moun tain passes, from the storied scenes of Killarney in the interior, and the bleak coast in the south. It was a great day for all. Five days the Niagara sailed, overcoming great difficulties in the laying of the table; then, on the sixth day. when the Niagara had left the shore C>0 miles behind, a mistaken order to put on brakes resulted in a strain which broke the cable. There was nothing to do but return to England. The Niagara sailed for New York the following November. Of course a great cry was raised that the scheme had been fairly tried once and failed, and that any further attempt to achieve this impossibility was madness and a criminal waste of the stockholders’ money. But in the face of ail this opposition, the little band of resolute men, led still by the ; indomitable Cyrus \Y. Field, deter mined to make another attempt. They had learned by their experi ence many valuable lessons. One that it w'ould be better for the two vessels carrying the cable to meet in mid ocean, make a splice, and then sail in opposite directions. Other lessons re lated to improvements in the paying out machinery—it was found impos sible to wind in the cable after it was i once out, as the very weight of the | line was sufficient to break it. The telegraph squadron arrived at ! Plymouth. England. June 3, and after an experimental trip of three days, having received a fresh supply of coal, started for midocean on the 10th, the point of rendezvous having been de cided. W hen the splice was finished, con necting the cable of the Niagara with that of the Agamemnon, the two ves sels parted. A terrible storm came up soon afterward, and after 142 miles and 280 fathoms of cable had been paid out the line broke. It was only by good fortune that the vessels re turned to land in safety. While' the squadron was lying in the harbor of Queenstown, meetings i were held by the board of directors in London. It was proposed to aban don the enterprise and sell the cable. When the news of this reached Mr. Field, he started in great haste for London. He remonstrated with the j despondent, upheld the wavering, and | finally, by bis will and courage, ob tained consent to make another at tempt. The vessels, accordingly, met again at the rendezvous, on July 28, and after making the splice with some j ceremony, separated. Anxiety was keen, as a kink in the cable, or a hole running through the gutta percha through which not even a hair could be forced, would render all the work i unavailing. On the 5th of August, 1S58, the eastern end of the cable was landed in i Trinity bay. Newfoundland, and the press of the country sounded loud praises in honor of the triumph. On the 17th of August, the famous mes sages were sent and received by cable between Victoria and President j Buchanan. Concerning the message, one of the electricians on board the Niagara is reported to have made the statement that it was "cooked up" for commer cial purposes, his ground being that the cable had ceased to test out long before reaching Newfoundland, and that on several occasions in paying it out accidents had occurred that had destroyed the insulation of the cable. In 1805 another unsuccessful at tempt was made to lay an Atlantic cable. The first operative cable was not laid until 1800. A part of transcontinental cable his tory that possesses special local in terest is the landing of the French Atlantic cable at Duxbury,, in the year 180ft, This was the first cable to stretch actually from the shore of America to the shore of Europe. Whales in Portland Harbor. Two whales, one about 100 feet and the other about 75 feet in length, were seen Monday swimming about the harbor by several cottagers at Ever green Landing, Peaks Island. The monsters were peacefully romping about in the water and when the steamer Pilgrim came down the harbor they swam some distance ! away, but remained in view of the people all the time flapping their i huge tails out of the water and spout | ing water. It was a sight not often seen in Portland harbor.—Lewiston ! Journal. India's Vast Petroleum Deposits. The petroleum deposits of India, in cluding Burma, have scarcely been dis turbed and the magnitude of the pos sible trade of India in petroleum and its products can hardly be estimated. In 1906-07 Burma produced 137,654,000 gallons and exported 55,796,000 gal lons, all of it going to Indian ports. THE LA TEST WORD. In artistic circles at the present time, in fact, among all people of New York who go in for esthetics of all forms, there's one word that has the call in all conversations and mono logues. The word is “absolutely.” Where one used to hear a painting, a piece of sculpture or a stained-glass window described as a very “sw’eH” thing nowadays the comment will be worded. “It's absolutely all right.” And ecstatic young ladies and gentlemen no longer say a thing is “perfectly grand;" they phrase it. “absolutely perfect.” To be in the know one must put great stress on the word, pro nouncing each syllable with the utmost nicety. Not Quite. “Did you say golf was a parvenu sort of a game?” “Not exactly. I merely remarked that it had its caddy aspect.” SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH, Boys' Fervent Prayer Was Answered in the Nick of Time. A suburbanite is fond of telling this story of his five-year-old son Bobby. Being of an inquiring turn of mind the youngster one day managed to turn on both faucets in the bathtub to see what would happen. It chanced that the stopper was in place, and the tub rapidly filled up. to the great de light of Bobby. Finally, however, the tub became so full that it threatened to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby, hawing a proper respect for the mater nal slipper, became frightened and tried vainly to turn off the water. Be ing unable to, for some reason, he gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood, and then, mindful both of his religious training and the occasional visits of the plumber, he plunged down on his knees, and his elder sister, who hap pened to be passing at the moment, heard him exclaim, fervently: "O. Lord, please stop this water running! And. O, Lord, if you can't Co it. please send somebody that can'" His prayer was answered, for his sister rose to the occasion and turned off the water and temporarily saved Bobby from the much-feared slipper. ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread Ail Over Body —Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura. “One day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as had then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itch ing disease. 1 purchased a box of Cuti cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and anointed him with it. I did this every evening and in four nights he was entirely cured.
