TIIUHK NEW SKI UTS.
I n it of this need Is the appearance of
cloth dresses made on the walking plan,
but with long skirts. These ure being
worn for matinee, morning picture views,
Informal luncheons and for automobile
wear. Hands of baby lamb ure among
the handsome trimmings, and a gown of
dark green cloth so trimmed, a Utile edge
of gold showing under tho fur, Is very
twaggcr. There are undersleeves of fur.
These undersleeves are very fashionable.
They come to match collarette and muff,
are single or double pulTed, strap close nt
the wrist, often with n Jeweled buckle,
ami give a cosy look to a dress that real
ly Is of light weight. This notion already
has advanced beyond expression solelytin
such cosily models, which Indicates that
It Is making headway. Not so rich us
the baby lamb bauds, but us stylish nnd,
of course, far less expensive, are stitched
bauds of cloth, Color contrasts usunlly
ppear lu such trimmings. An example

similar to these lu outline, and are made
very ornate without the excecdlug rich
ness of trimming that appears on the
Hiitln garments. An example appears in

worthy statement In respect to old
age Is the report on the habits of cen-
l..in.rlnng nulllft H011IO VCUrS UKO by A
pominlsslon unpointed by tho nrltlsh
Medlcul Association. It seems Uiat
most of these old people were small or
medium of stature and a spare habit, of
body; the voice was rather feeblo; moot
of them hnd lost their teeth, but nearly
all enjoyed good dlgestlou, cue old man
of OS, a clergyman, placlug his baud on

ho never knew what It was to have a
stomach. Nearly all of them had en
Joyed uninterrupted good health, and
many bad never kuowu what It was to
lie slek. They were nil very moderate
In eating, most of them using little ani
mal food. Few Indulged at all lu In
toxicating drluks, and those ouly la
