GUSHING OVER PR SMITHERS HIS ts the Giddy Gusher, Observe I her peroxide pompadour. Get next to her gifttering. opalescent teoth Pipe her cunning little wink. Seo her continuous performance smile, Watch jier hop from chair to chair as a hen hoppeth about on a hot griddle. ¢ Was the Giddy Gusher born with these afflictions? No, my child. She acquired them, She apent many hours before her mirror practising facial convulsions until she! could do {t without locking as if she| Were suffering. Now it has become a| fixed habit and she could not take off the look if she would. Does the Giddy Gusher smile because is amused at something? my child; the Giddy Gusher has no sense of humor, and she Is not amused. She smilea because she thinks ft makes her look Vivacious, and she has been told that men admire vivacious women. It also shows off her teeth, which are her best point. ‘ Why does the Giddy Gusher never, keep atill? She ts afraid that if she sat in one place for more than two minutes at time some one would suspect that the was old and rheumatic. She also ithinks that it looks girlish and unso- phisticated to be always on the move. is the Giddy Gusher as young as she acts? No, my child, nobody és thet young. ‘Why is the Giddy Gusber never alient tor a single moment? Sho ‘thinks that men enjoy being talked to death, What does the Giddy Gusher say? She says: “Oh, Mr. Smithers, I am so Perfectly Delighted ito see You, and It 1s so Dear of you to take me to the ‘Theatre, and isn't Hamlet just too Cute for anything, and T just Dote on that Bweet actor that kills everybody In the lnat act, and aren't thess~ chocolat and Brave you are to understand all the plot without having to have any- body explain it to you lke Poor Lite Me. and not to be afraid when they uso those Horrid swords on the stage.” Is the Giddy Gusher much admired by men? No; few men care for a woman who has a@ perpetual motion tongue. If there is going ta be any monologue business the man prefers to do the stunt himeel¢, Does the Giddy Gusher marry well? Occasionally she does. ‘Bometimes sho talks a man into insens{bility and mar- ries hin before he comes to, but her chief catch 4s among earnest settlement workers and the young“men who! be- Jon# to the alphabetical societies and who do not attend vaudeville shows and who think her wink ts wicked. Does the Giddy Gusher ever grow ola? Not that she knows of. The older she gets the giddier and the gushler she grows, How does the Giddy Gusher affect those who meet her? She mukes them very tired. DOROTHY DIX. em A WOODPECKER’S BILL. ‘Tho long, stiff tell feathers of a wood- pecker enable the bird to cling to the trunk of a tree in an upright position for a long time and bore away for foot. ‘The bill of a woodpecker is often as strong as that of a bird of prey, and In the woodcock of northern Maine. the Dill is found at Its greatest develop- ment. The tongue much resembles an angie worm and is very long and admirably adapted for sucking sap. Sometimes the tongue Is not only long and brush- Uke, but barbed at the point, so that It can impale its prey. The fect are creams Aw(ully Grand? Oh, how Wise adapted fom swimming in various: ways. MPORTANT Changen in the New Full Skirt —Shirrings Will Be Prominent This Spring —A Remarkable Crea- tion in Chiffon by Beer —Reception Gown of Brown Voile Over Green Silk, with Cas- cades of Lace, I and summer styles from Paris, They wore unpacked yesterday and photographed for The Evening World, This is the first introduction of them to America, Theso exquisite gowns are an attrac- tive feature of the convention of tne International Society of Dressmakers and Retail Merchants, which isbeing held in the ballroom of the Hoffman House. They come direct from the hands of the most famous Paris designers, such as Beer, Drecoll, Dukes & Joire, Doucet. These models’ are the quintessence of elegance. A distinct difference in style will be noticed comparing these with the earlier importations. and it can be stated authoritatively that the modes here exhibited will prevail this spring and summer, The first change which will strike the observer og the new full ekirt is the total eliminktion over the h'ps of the bhdeous buikiness which seemtixgly could not be done away with until further conniving by the designers. Another idea is the ingenious manner in which the full skirts are weighted at the bot- tom ‘to add grace to the outline, If mot weighted, every costume shows elther braid or velveteen binding, which Rives added body to the edae that holds down the ‘fulness of the skirt, Th low, drooping effect is no longer creme de la creme of elegance, the broader shoulder prevatis with just enough of a slope to make it becoming. The line of the bust is higher, the bolero is para- mount, while the exceedingly high gir- dle is to be seen on almost every smart costume. These are just 1 few of the extremely new ideas which are advanced by the leading Parts designers and fully and perfectly exemplified by the models on display in the Hoffman House ballroom, The extreme fashionable note is reached In the dark blue voile tlus- trated. It is an excellent use of the material for handsome trimmings. Dou- ble puffings trim both the Eton jaeket and skirt. A pleasing idea he man- ner of the finish along the top, the heading being caught down in honey- comb effect. The extremely full skirt fits snugly over the hips in the most approved manner, falling in voluminous folds about the feet. The binding of velveteen gives it t! necessary body. Tho fine batiste vest 1s lace-<rimmed; heavy Unen embroidery ornaments the collar and front of the jacket in a pretty manner. Lingerie cuffs finish the sleeves, Shirrings will be prominent this spring. The full coat plotured is an excellent exemplification of the coming popularity of shirred effects.
