Most of them so distend that they add several feet to the hip circumference. Over panniers or hips drapes are wired so that there Is no danger they will fall Into joft lines. Tier skirts of as iany as eight rows of rullles are running amuck upon the avenue, and the top three tiers are wired into lamp shade and c!.andelier effects. Flaring bottoms of skirts have completely supplanted the old three-inch-around model, and a hoydenlsh, i.iasculine stride is rapidly killing off mincing footsteps. Lowly Ironing board covering Is being made Into drosses' that rarry a price tag In three figures. This heaviest, cheapest kind of crash Is embellished with scallops and embroideries In Chinese red or Algerian blue, and Haunts wired pouch pockets or side skirt drapes. Occasionally heavy strips of white kid or ordinary harness leather are stitched into mammoth side pockets for the hip width effect.

Many of these heavy satin or velvet skirts are bustled and handpainted In gorgeous eccentric patterns, such as with a red pitcher plant, a screaming parrot, or a clump of ferns. Put "the hips the hips the thing." Confetti Trimming. A French trimming which bids fair to prove popular is known In Paris as "confetti" trimming. This is used generally on a foundation of sIhht silk, chiffon or georgette, the latter more frequently seen here. In Paris, according to recent arrivals from that market, it Is popular In the many colors characteristic of the real confetti, the trimming being fabric, felt or leather, cut up Into the tiniest of spots. on the same arm. There are oolorful bracelets of Imitation jade or of amber with narrow bands of imitation topaz. A pair of bracelets may ary greatly in size, one being large enough to slip up on the upper arm. the otber small enough to clasp tho wrist. The Parisians are wearing smart gets of ivory bracelets banded with narrow- strips of elephants hair. and to complete them there are little matching linger rings. Straw Trims Taffeta Frocks. One of the newest and smartest trimming touches used on taffeta frocks consists of bandings of narrow straw braid In vividly contracting color. It Is not a stiff hat braid, but something very soft, and It Is often applied In odd-shaped motifs as well as In straight hand effect. The tailored street frock, whether of taffeta or wool fabric, Is often shown with a matching cape or mantle, cut short and fancifully trimmed. Lace Stockings. For evening wear Paris Is taking to lace stockings, not only because these are new and effe :tlve, but because silk stockings are eciremcly high priced, and very diflicult to procure in colors as wanted. May Take Place of Sweater. The wool jersey cloth blouse Is very practical and smart and may take the place of a sweater. Yarn erabroidery and deep yarn fringe art popular decorative touches.

AUSTRALIA HAS MUCH IRON Engineers Report Immense Quantities Available in the Southwest Part of the Country. Mining engineers have reported to the Australian government that immense quantities of Iron ore are available at Yampi sound, in southwest Australia. The estimate puts the amount of ore available that is. in sight above veaievel at 7.0)O,00 tons. The larger quantities are on Koolan Inland, where the lode rises 000 feet above the water line; the lod Is over 100 feet wide, and is traced for nearly four miles, but really extends right through the island. Ou Coekatto Island the height is JlOO feet, the lode running from end to end of the Island. The qualify of the ore Is exceptional. There Is only 1 per cent of silica present and very little sulphur. These analyses compare favorably with the host known iron deposits in the world. Newfoundland (Pell island) ore Is Ö1.SO per cent metallic Iron, with t.."0 per cent silica.

The latest calculations, based on the perturbations of Uranus, are stated by Dr. Krlc Doollttie to show that the hypothetical planet beyond Neptune is nearly four billion miles from the sun, and requires X'J years to complete a revolution in its orbit. It Is much smaller than other distant planets, with a mass only six times that of the earth.
