Carelesime- tn the makir.jr f hj foundation pett.irwt will spoil the efT-ct f the s.ft and '-linsintf skirt iinpd over It. "Soft and clinging" we .ray. fr there are few fashionable ma'eriais today which are not soft, and. however full cf fold a frock skirt may be. it must cling around the hip and fall In supple folda not t o widely flar ing. Some dressmakers prefer cne of the light wught. very r,ft, satin finished tl'ks for the foumlation petticoat. Many like a supple aatln which will cllr.g yet has body enouali m wear wII. ChlfTon taffeta of the nonmirtline; kind continues, however, to he the popular lining ilk with the avenge dresamaker, and can. of course, he bought In pajtxahly good quaJ'.ty for less money than Is asked for any of the other silks sultab'e for the purpose. This underskirt must fit with absolute amoothneaa over the hip and and man, flaring gradually beic-w, bnt not renrhmg an extravagant width. I-er.s ft'iTy rnfTTng and trimming Is net. upon the bottim of the petticoat than wss usod a season or two ago: for while the frock skirt nvurt nit fall tn limply around the fet it is not held cut stiffly at the bottom aa wis formerly the case. The hrttom of the skirt may attain great width, but the width falls In soft, graceful fullr as with no suwstlon of actual stiff ness. Whore the mat.ral Is very sheer and supple a deep hem "r Lands or o'her trimmings of nenvler stuff may be used to weight tin- filmy f Ids down into the or rect clinging line. nnA to give the skirt a certain body and substance around th f-et, but manv of the handsome French frocks have sk.rts nuite untrtmmed or trimmed but very slightly. In the French frock of soft sheer material one unually finds grent skirt fullness, but the cutter so cleverly graduates this full- ness that there Is no clu.nsl nrss at the top and the top fullness liberal though not excessive Is set Into the waistband In close small plaits which are carefully pressed down the greater part of the skirt length, but are quite unsttt'hed. Such a kirt la eveedhigly graceful, but It requires careful cutting and handling and the ordinary dressmaker finds it safer to stitch the tucks or plaits tor at least a short distance. The skirt shirred full Into the band Is seldom seen, though in sheer material well weighted by bottom trimming It gives the desired lines and Is sometimes used. For the tailored walking skirt the cleverly cut kilted skirt Is first favorite among the mart tailors, but many variations of the plaited skirt are used and the striped suit ings in particular have called forth In genious arrangements of blaa panels, ver tical or horizontal stripe plaits, etc. The plain front plait on breadth, trimmed or ntrlmmed. retains considerable prestige tji one sees many skirts, especially in I pes and checks, cut wit., bias front un. but with straight sides. In lenth the walking skirt proper la prone to extravagance. Many fashionable women and girls wear skirts of exagger ated shortness, showing; no more than, ankle length. Much of this so.-t of thing will doubtless be seen at the summer resorts, but the average woman will content herself with the unual two Inches from the floor rule and unless a woman has an uncommonly pretty foot and makes a practice of wear ing charming shoes the two Inch length Is Infinitely more becoming that the shorter length. Flounces and frills will, of course, be used upon summer frocks, but they are not 3f an aggressive sort and frequently upon ft muslin frock the flounces merely give a gradual widening to the skirt bottom and iiite lose their Individuality. One flounce, let us say, starts undr r a group of tucks or a band of lace or embroidery a little above the knee, the fullness being adjusted In tiny tu'-ka !r.sad of shirring. On the bottotii of this floutce Is set a sec ond l and of trhtiniing on a s-cond group "f tucks and a second flour.ee is added below ti..s. 'l.e line of union being hidden under the band of tjeks. So the skirt width swells without any definite breaks of line, and countless variations are wrought upon this cen'rul idea. Flat skirt trimmings are In high favor, many of them being worked out In seif mater'al. while others make use of con trasting self-tone materials or trimmings. The Greek key design and variations of that idea are greatly utilised, and with ex.-vlltnt t(Tct. One popular trimming consists of lace bands In.'et or appliiue In large battle mrntei design, the frock material being finely tucked In Uie battlement sections. Another pretty design for sheer stuff la that sketched here. The skirt from which the sketch was made was of dotted net. Two tiny shirred t icks were run In battlement lines at four Inch Intervals. Below was a similar group of little shirred tuckn. but the four inches between these two was fliled by a band of taffeta, hand painted In flower design. Flowered ribbon Is effectively used In this same way. Bands of very fine transverse tucking In the sheer frock material, bordered by little folds of contrasting self-tone material, are liked on cotton voile, moussellna. etc.. and openwork bands made from cords covered with sl y and fashioned Into desigia by the use of hand et-t.-hery are rrat!y Tancied by the French dressmakers. eViuta. he and bands ot cloth or silk set on plainly nr in fancy desgns trim marquisettes, v!!es snd other sheer ma terials and mor- intricate spnlVstims of siik cloth or velvet re Intrcd iced upon elibora'e frocks scrolls, or ovals filled In wtrh hand embro1drv cr lace. etc. Hani embroderv plays an tmportpnt part In the trimming cf handsome net. moueeeil'-e. marn ilsette and other sheer skirts, but in the matter of hand efnhroldery descrip tion is uselos. for the design and "rV are hardly the same upon any two frorks Very narrow band" or folds of sll1 form the only tramming of many e:o,u site French J frocks, and a popular idea is the use of a lace of moderate width dyed to match the frock material, set Int'i the skirt In battlement.

The use of little fancy pendants or grelots. usually made from the dress or trimming material to prove that they are hand work, has increased apace In Parts, and one recent taffeta gulmpe frock from a famous maker defies tho prejudice in favor of flat trimmings by having Its skirt trimmed In narrow overlapping frills of the taffeti for two-thlrde of Its length, each frill being edged by little fringe of most diminutive greluta. 1 r DESIGNS TOR SKIRT TRIMMINGS. Romance of Cliff Dwellers D ENTER. May 13. Recent re searches conducted by archaeolo gists and atudenta from western universities have brought to light some new facts about the cliff dwellers In southwestern Colorado. The first discoveries were made forty years ago by two cattlemen named Wether ell, who had for months traveled the val ley, only to meet one day the surprise of seeing a great building on one of the cliffs of the Mesa Verde. The sun happened to be shining Just tight and this enabled them to discern what had previously es caped their observation. Climbing up they found a great structure of 350 rooms and scattered about It other houses and ruins of great extent. Mummies.

EGG-OS EE CEREAL COMPANY, Chicago. U. S. A. bits of pottery, feather cloth, bails of salt hung In bags of cm husks and rude uten sils of various kinds were scattered about. In mounds they dug up war clubs, arrow heads, needles, Cint ornaments and burnt corn. After the Wetherella came other explorers and many of the museums of the world have been enriched by the finds there made. Not long ago an invest gating party dis covered west of La, Plata river a group of cliff houses of which no government report had ever been made. These have been the subject of recent investigations. The new enaction consists nf about fifty houses perched on rock shelves which ex tend at intervals to a height of W0 or 6M) feet above the bed of the canyon. Seen from below they look like swallows' nests . and many of them could not be reached. In a valley five miles farther along iso lated ruins were found. Excavations made disclosed more mummies, stone ornaments, bones and pottery. Thirty miles below Durano. just over the New Mexico border, the ruins of a once extensive village have been discovered. About the center of It is a signal and defense tower etjulpred with protective de vices of a character different from any pre viously found. Instead of a single circular wall thU one has three, with spaces of about seven feet between them. The exterior wall h.u a diameter of fllty-tw foet and It is con nected with the interior walla by crosB walls. The last wail of dffer.se cculd be reached only by ladders, and was prac tically impregnable in the days when tne club and srear formed the chief weapons of attack. The walls are of sar.dtone Imbedded in clay mortar. In other ruins great quadrangles were found. In the wall crevices mortar still bears the Imprint of tinkers. Most of these stones were earned up from the ted of the canyon. So far as Investigations have disclosed the mins of the ciiff dwellers are scattered over W.'XK) eijuare miles in Colorado. Arizona, New Mexico and l"tah. The great mystery of who they were and how they were an nihilated t.il puxales the sc'entLt?.

Traces of Are hve led to the conjm-ture that their de struction must have come through a vol canic eruptb n.

During thse six y-.-ars I have come t j the conclusion that if women would train themselves in tnis work they eaa.ly would equnl men, and in many lines would outstrip th-m. I have figured that at tne present tune there is rocm for 10.X women traveling &gr.tj In the I'nlteU Stales. If th.s Is so, why don't women rill the posi tions ? Lecause. unlike men, they reiy too much upon their ecx; they don t work hard: they din t begin ritfht. they don t learn their own bus.nes.". t A wonin who has an sjnbltion to become a .

Succeed? I was successful from the start. And each year my business has increased. I find that the trading public likes to deal with women when the women have sense and know their business. . Except In rar cases a. woman always can get business where a man can, and frequently she can get business where her rival of the opposite sex cannnt. At least I Mnd this so among paint dealers.

The girl most richly endowed by nature w the one who is blesstd with a cheerful disposition. It ia impossible to overrate Its value to the iortunate possessor. It can Ties her triumphantly through th countless difficulties common to all and it helps to lighten other people s burdens. The woman l.une sunny nature calls forth the remark. "She s as goM as a tonic," is welcome everywhere. It mat ters not if her means are small and. she is only passably guod looKing. She may be positively plain, but people forget that in the charm of her expres sion.

Manila telephone subscribers feel that, though living In what the average Ameri can believes to be a aeml-barbarloua land. the rest of the world has no "edge" on them In being served by comely maidena aa "hello glrla." The Filipino telephone operator cornea from the best families of her land and takes her work more aertoualy than her fair-skinned sister of the Occi dent. She has her servant, who is also her chaperon, to accompany her to the office, carrying her lunch, and who calls to chaperon her back to the security of her home when the gong rings on her day work. The Spanish custom of never per mitting an unmarried woman above tha age of 12 years to leave the portala of her casa unaccompanied, still prevails with) both Spaniards and Filipinos of tha better class, and their employment as telephone operators permit no relaxation of tha watchful care. The fact that the field of labor, aalda from domestic service, for the Filipino girl 1s so limited, makes employment In this line especially desirable and much Bought after by the daughters of the well-to-do Filipinos. Hence, to be a "hello girl" in the Philipplnea is an honor carrying Wilis' It prestige and enters Into Uie beat so ciety.
