The circular skirt retains Its hold
upon popular favor because It lends
Itself to so many stylish adaptions.
Not entirely new, yet extremely
graceful Is the model shown above,
depleted in pale blue chiffon cloth
with medallions of blue and white
ombroldery. Tho four tiers of the
skirts are hemmed with fine broad
cloth and the close fitting girdle is
Qia..e from the same material.
The bodice looks charming with its
low Dutch berth.", of chiffon cloth em

A Dressy Garment Which Is in tJooi!
Taste ol. the Year.
Fashion's disciples remain true to
tho little coat v. hose lines vary from
the semi-Empire to hip length and
we are told that with the approach
of spring this dressy little garment
will take up Its tremendous vogje
where It was left off In the late au
tumn. A famous French design la
responsible for the model pictured
here; It is carried out in rich black
moire silk and stitched handsomely
with bands of black braid with the
merest suggestion of white along
either edge.
The reck is finished in collarless
fashion, but revers of embroidered
taffetas and cloth lend an eiegunt
touch to the front of the Jacket. The
sides are left unstitched over the
hips, for the sake of novelty most
likely, and sometimes, the little
chasm is bridged with loops of passa-
menterte braid and appropriate pend-
Ms.
French dressmakers have no set
rules for finishing the lower edges of
coaM of any kind. Pointed effects
seem to be liked better than the cut
away lines for short Jackets and the
latest models are so contrived that
the points are sufficiently long to
emphasize the smart curves of the
underarm seams.
Salary to t'lub Treasurers.
There ia a strong movement on
foot Just now to pay a salary to treas
urers of women's clubs. At two,
ct least, of the largest of women's
clubs and organizations In Now York
CP.y. this subject is to como up for
careful and definite consideration at
the first fall meeting next month.
At one of the annual elections last
year the treasurer's office was of
fered to ten women before a can
didate was finally found who would
accept the poslt'on. The treasurer's
work entailed by office In one of the
large New York clubs is terrific. It
takes practically all of a woman's
time, and in addition requires abso
lute accuracy and care, and some bus
iness training.
T'.e move to give a salary to the
treasurer Is a wise one, born of
necessity, It is true, but a wise and
sound one, nevertheless.
Power of Wealth.
"Has your daughter made her de
but yet?" asked Mrs. Uppson.
"Mercy, no!" exclaimed Mrs. Neu
rich. And what's more, she doesn't
have to make It. Her father can af
ford to have one made to order for
her."
