THINGS WE NEED
CHICAGO. Mar-ch 19.-"The pop

American women are getting too
advanced. As a matter of fact they
are the slowest of all the English
speaking women on the face of the

, So declares Jane Addams in i com

'In England and all her colonies,"
she declares, "the women have mun

women are just awakening to the fact
that we have rights and responsibili

be properly exercised.
'Why is it that in Italy they have

LADIES' FOUR-GORED SKIRT.
Paris Pattern No. 2773
All Seams Allowed.
An excellent model for the new
spring materials is here shown, and
though made with the effect of plain
gores over the hips, it has an inverted
box-plait at each seam, stitched down
for a considerable depth. These plaits
give ample fullness to the lower
edge, which is finished with a simple
hem. Shepherd's plaid, or any of the
checked woolen suitings, is a favorite
material for thec separate skirts, and
a stylish effect is gained by trimming
the lower edge with two or three
rows of black or colored silk braid,
put on an equal distance apart. An
other style, which is equally effective,
is to make the skirt of plain cloth,
with bias trimming bands of checked
or striped material. This model will
be particularly appropriate for the
summer skirt of linen, uique, duck or
Indian-head cotton, worn whh a
jacket or three-quarter coat of similar
material. The skirt closes under the
inverted box-plait at the center
back, which is a distinct relief to the
models buttoning down the center
front or a one side, these having be
come slightly old-fashioned from too
much popularity. The pattern is in six
sizes 22 to 32 inches waist measure
For 26 waist the skirt made of ma
terial with nap requires 8 7-8 yards
20 inches wide, 5 3-8 yards 36 inches
wide, 4 1-4 yards 42 inches wide or
3 1-2 yards 54 inches wide; without
nap, it needs 8 3-8 yards 20 inches
wide, 5 yards 36 inches wide, 4 yards
42 inches wide or 3 1-4 yards 54
incites wide; width of lower edge,
about 4 yards.
Price of pattern, 10 cents.
