The popularity of the talkative girl
Is a moBt curious sign of the times,

agreed to endow the society's work

CORRECT LENGTHS OF SKIRTS.
The lengths of walking skirts do
not vary. They Bre all sufficiently
hort to escape the ground, which
stay mean from one inch to ankle
length, according to the build' and age
of the wearer. A young woman may,
If she pleases, cut her aklrt shorter
than a woman of more mature age,
and a stout woman Bhould always
wear them longer than one who It
Blender. The later type may wear
skirts long, too, if she wishes, but
the atout or short matron cannot af
ford to cut her skirt short it she
wishes to look her best.
Thus the question of the length of
Bklrts for general wear is easily dis
posed of, but for the more Important
gowns for afternoon, bouse and even
ing the matter of deciding Is more
difficult owing to the carrow width
of tbs skirts.
All the skirts for formal and even
ing wear are cut long, yet so narrow
that little train is visible. In order
to give evidence of a train the dresses
are cut long in front and at te Bides,
and only a trifle longer in the back.
Even then, as the wearer walks, the
material winds-Itself about the feet
until the gown actually seems to be
the same length all the way around,
Incidentally, to walk gracefully in
ne ot the new skirts Is a difficult
teat. Managed correctly, a skirt of
this style Is an aid to height, because
the front is long from the belt down
ward. Thus the new style of cutting
the skirt long all the way around is
In one way an Improvement over the
trained aklrt formerly worn, in that
It Is more generally becoming, now
that the fashionable figure is sup
posed to be tall, and the majority of
women are only ot medium height or

fall In, for there is nothing to keep
It out, not even a ruffle.
Any trimming on the aklrt comes
at leaBt foot above the lower edge,
either applied directly on the skirt or
as a finish to a tunic or oversklrt
effect.
A favored fashion Is to tie the skirt
down by wide crashed ribbon (the
shade of the gown), passed through
slits cut at flounce depth, the ribbons
tied in large bows, the ends falling
over the train, and when the material
Is thin, as marquisette and similar
fnbrics, I have seen good effects from
setting in a group of wide tucks above
the deep hem.
The One cloths, however, and tha
silks are without trimming.
Skirts of bouse gowns are cut In
what is known as the round length
that Is, they are made to lie down
on the floor about an Inch or so on the
front and sides, but are longer In the
back. Thla Is a graceful length and
will prove generally becoming.
As many of the new house gowns
are made with deep hems and under
skirt effects in a solid color. It is well
to have the skirts as long in the front
as comfort will allow in order to pre
serve the height of the wearer, for
nothing cuts the length of the figure
more than horliontal lines between
the belt and hem.
The fashion of holding down the
train In the back with a long motif
Just above the feet Is awkward, but it
Is novel, and so, I suppose, women
will want to try It. Only slender
types should attempt It, for, given a
certain twlBt, the woman of average
build will surely appear top heavy.
The more conventional lines will be a
happier choice. Elizabeth Lee, In the
New York Telegram.

For children's frocks and for gowns
for the girl in her teens they are un

the color ot footwear selected.
Many ot the new coats have the

New York City. Butter and eggs
are now stored in the warehouses ot
New York and vicinity in greater
quantities than ever before at this
time of year. Last year's figures on
storage snd prices made high records
up to that time, but tbey are exceed
ed by the totals of the present month.
Butter is now higher than It has been
In July ot any other year since the
Civil War times.
The figures were contained In a re
port completed from twenty-nine of
the thirty-two food warehouses In the
metropolitan district. This report
shows that 2,234,000 rases, each con
taining thirty dozens of eggs, are now
in storage, while a year ago the total
was 1,911,000 cases. Never before
has the total in these warehouses ex
ceeded 2,000,000 cases In July.
Receipts of eggs have not been
greatly In exress of those of last year,
so some of the dealers infer that a
speculative movement has something
to do with the conditions. The re
ceipts for the last two months have
been 2,417.000 cases, while In the
same two months of last year 2,300,
000 cases were received. The storage
of eggs began in April.
The best grades ot eggs going Into
storage are quoted at twenty-three
cents a dozen in car lots. They are
Western eggs, and two vearifego sim
ilar grades were sold at eighteen
cents. Fresh Eastern etrgs, which
are now quoted at twenty-four to

twenty-five cents a year ago.

The total amount of butter now In

One of the most desperate attempts

apparently authenticated source, that
Germany had repudiated the Monroe

Fortunately, the absolute faUlty of

WITH BUTTER AND EGGS
The phenomenon of Incrncsid
quantities of butter and eggs In stor
age with higher prices in the market
is causing much talk among the
wholesale dealers on the west side.
The explanation offered by some of
their number is that Western pack
Ing companies made contracts earlier
In the year to take the butter and
eggs from the farmers at high prices,
and so they were compelled to main
tain prices to protect themselves from
losses. If the current receipts of the
products were now offered for Imme
diate consumption prices would drop,
and so most of the eggs and butter
coming here of late has gone into
storage.
One of the wholesale dealers arid
that the packing companies may also
have as an object in keeping up
prices of butter that people may get
the habit of using oleomargarine as a
substitute. While butter was at its
highest retail prices last winter much
mors oleomargarine was sold than
ever before In this country.
Dealers said that they do not see
any reason for expecting a reduction
this year In the cost ot living In the
items of butter and eggs.
