New York. May tt_Fifth ave

latest, freak of fashion when a
trim little, blonde si roiled up the
avenue above Forty-second street
wearing a skirl that was divided
in front. As the little woman
walked along in an excellent im
itation of unconcern. I ho divided
skirt gave an ample glimpse of
ttesh-cnlored silk stockings lo a
point ,jusf below the knee.
If you happened to meet her
“bow on" you could see both
stockings, bid owing lo the way
she clung to the store fronts,
most of the stricken spectators
saw only one of the reasons for
I he sensation.
The new skirt was of heavy
dark blue cloth of moderate width
and of ordinary walking length.
The division in front was cut
away much in the fashion of
man’s cutaway coal and was
hound with heavy black braid.
Just what style, it was above the
knees no one seemed to notice.

PAJAMA FUNCTIONS
ARE CHILLY AFFAIRS
Paris, May (•.--Paris has nev
er been fond of freak parlies,
which Parisians have always
considered a sign of brainless
ness. Hut jusl now they are crazy
about night gown and pajama
parlies, which are the “dernier
cri” in social entertainment. Hut
a safe prophecy is that this craze
will not last many weeks and will /
never ne taken up again, at least
nol until Paris has learned to
heal its houses in modern Amer
ican, fashion. When the guests
are not dancing madly about in
order to keep warm they sil shiv
ering around I he tiroplace and
when they filially put on their ev
ening cloaks and drive home in
the lirsl gray dawn they all feel
thoroughly disgusted with their
sillimfss. As for the men they
naturally feel the cold much more
than the ladies, who are used To
appearing partly undressed and
judging from their audible com
ments few will be very likely to
attend any freak entertainments
