Skirts are now inches longer and cer- tainly yards narrower. Where they were ten and twelve inches from the ground, they are now six or seven. As §f this were not change enough, there is a new silhouette introduced, and that is one that closely resembles a barrel as far as the skirt is concern- ed. This is probadbly inspired by the Turkish skirt that was shown by sev- eral of the couturiers last spring. At any rate, there are a number of the largest creators in Pars who show skirts of this description. Paquin uses it in an afternoon gown with a Russian blouse effect in the of new ditches for which liens ‘to June 1 highway, and respectfully submitted to the taxpayers 1, Minnesota this 6th day of January, 1917. ——_—_fi levy 1916.. estimated 2,706, ,375.00 160,450.22 388,142.99 e e $4,068,476.99 $4,068,476.99 the county auditor of Beltrami county, A.

Otherwise the frock has straight lines—that is, the waist is mnot fitted snugly as it is in many of the new spring creations. Jenny fashions a coat with this “ton- pneau” or barrel skirt of light gray broadcloth, made with the trimming of many rows of stitching in a darker ghade of gray. The barrel effect is in- troduced between straight panels in the front, sides and back of the coat. Even coat suits sre showing the bar- rel skirt, and one sponsored by an expert is of checks of blue and white, trimmed with Roumanian embroidery. The jacket of this suit is hip length, as are many of the suits for spring for this house. s Premet nues this type of skirt in an afternoon frock of two materials They are joined just below the hips. and at this point the skirt is much wider than at the bottom where it is drawn in considerably. From these yarious couturiers it will be seen that there is every chance that | skirts of this description will be very much the mode for the early spring frock. They are mot unattractive, es- pecially if' they ace not exsggerated in line. Most of the frocks with such a skirt ase sure to have the waist fit a bit more snugly, for the ocutline then is wider at the sheulders than at the waist, when the line goes in, and it un- dulates from that poimt to greater width at the knees and nerrows cCom. sideradly at the bottoma Brimstone.

The Great Unanswered. Lloyd George has throughout his whole career shown an extraordinary aversion to letter writing, according to Isase F. Marcosson in Everybody's. “He became known in parliament,” says Mr. Marcosson, “as the ‘great un- answered” He used to say, and still that an unanswered letter an- swers itself in time. This led to the aadition that the ounly way to get a written veply out of Lloyd George was to imclose two addressed and stamped cards, one bearing the word ‘Yes’ and the other ‘No.’ More than once, how- ever, when friends and constituents o o o [ [} [ [} o Toe Lasting.
