PANTALOON SKIRT PRETTY CLASSY, BUT NOT POPULAR WITH THE FLESHY.

Meantime the dressmakers of NewYork have got busy and turned out something as near to the barera skirt as tbetr imaginations would suggest. This takes the form of the pantaloon skirt whlejb is simply a pair of Tery Wide trousers such as women wear Who ride horses astride. In some

cases this dress is maue with a flap in front which can be buttoned down and in some cast's it is left undlsgutsably a pair of female broeches. A Los Angeles dressmaker lias shown her ingenuity also. She has turned out a pantaloon skirt which Is simply a skirt divided near the bot-

colors, and beautiful hats are shown in the soft pastel tones of pink trimmed in big soft roses shading through the lavenders and purples, or In black niousseline roses end foliage, or in ostrich plumes shading through dull pinks and smoky grays. Some attractive things are done, too, with soft pink chiffon stretched plainly over fine white straw. Feathers are used even more than flowers In the very dressy large summer hats, but flowers are sprayed upon many of the smaller shapes, quite covering the crown and giving it prodigious height. " Many of the sleeves are extremely short, a detail in keeping with other Empire ideas, and one finds the elboiv sleeves of some of the smartest models taking on bell lines instead of falling straight in peasant fashion. The three-quarter sleeves is popular, and oddly enough the summer season has brought out a good many long sleeves models which will be far less comfortable than those with short slf evf b.

MOVEMENT TO KEEP THE BOYS Mi GIRLS 01 FARM

TIMES Bl'BEAl', AT STATE CAPITAL I Indianapolis, Ind., June 16. A movement to keep the county boys and girls on the farm fnstead of having them drift into the cities was started here, yesterday afternoon, under state direction, and it will have its fruition next fall when the plan will be worked out. At the last session of the legislature a bill was passed directing the governor to appoint a commission . seven members for the purpose of making a thorough investigation of the needs of the state in the wty of industrial and agricultural education. The law provides that 'this1 commission shall make a complete investigation of the entire subject and that. it shall hold not less than five public lien intra in five different parts of the state for the purpose of obtaining the views of people in the various sections as to the best methods to be employed in bringing about a better system of education along those lines. After the commission has obtained all of this information and has heard the opinions and suggestions of educators and or farmers, workingmen. employers and others all over the state it will formulate its views into a definite plan and make

an elaborate report to the next legislature. Governor Marshall appointed as members of this commission Senator Will A. Yarling of Shelbyville, whom he made chairman; Representative John O. Brown of Monon; Frank JuiTy of tills city, secretary of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters an 1 Joiners; J. I,. Ketcham of tlus city.

head of. the Urown -Kett-ham Irmi i Worsk; T. F. Fitzgibbon of Columbus,

superintendent, of the public schools of

that city; F. I). McKlroy of Hammond

county superintendent of schools of Lake county, and Prof. V. G. WeatliT)y of Indiana university. This commission represents all angles of the question. The commission met here yesterday: afternoon for its first meeting and organization. It organised by electing Senator Yarling permanent chairman and John A. Lapp, legislative reference clerk in the state library, as its secretary. The members engaged in a general discussion of the preliminary plans for the work before it, and then decided to hold another meeting in September. In the meantime the members will give the subject careful consideration and be ready to decide on

some plan of operations in the gather

ing of the material for its report. The members of the commission were, all enthusiastic over the proposition. They agreed that there was a need for some better system of industrial and agricultural education. "It is a fact," said Senator Yarling after the meeting, "that there are many boys and girls in the state who do not enter high school. They only attend school until they reach the age where they do not have to attend, under the law, and then the leave school and go to work or remain at home. Now, we feel that something should be done to hold them in school where they may get a practical knowledge of the things which they will need in their life work. For instance, if we can have

farming taught in the schools it will be a great thing. If we can get the farm boy interested in farming; if he becomes so interested in the subject that he will enjoy it then we have gone a long way toward solving the problem. A boy that is interested in his work will make a success, but unless he is interested he will not be likely to succeed. AVe would have them study the soil and learn how to improve it and to improve farming conditions. "We would also have the girls taught domestic science. A girl ought to know how to cook anything that is to be cooked, Instead of slopping it together. She should know how to sew and to take care of a home. If she was educated along those lines she would enjoy the work. And if we can get the farm boys and girls educated in this manner it will keep them on the farm instead of having them run off to the cities, where the boys may become common laborers at a dollar a

have been justified by the event Th exclusive set during the Riviera season and at th early Parisian events has given absolutely no encouragement

to the much exploited skirt, and Mmu. Paquin doubtless rejoices that she alone among the famous dress designers of Paris refused to consider the culotte idea and wasted no time, energy or material in experimenting with it. Paquin and Callot have both been very happy in their three-piece and coat and skirt models this spring and also in the handling of the tunic and separate train ideas in connection with the evening frocks. Tunics cleverly draped In clinging lines and sloping into little shape single or double point trains are dear to both makers, and Paquin loves the little square train falling' separate from a narrow skirt slit at the sides or in front. Plaited flounces and scant, flat lying ruffles make their appearance here and there, hinting at rebellion against the long maintained narrow lines, though even these plaits and frills are so subdued that thy give absolutely no suggestion of bouffancy.

One night I engaged & gharri e for a moonlight ride along the Back bay. Returning through the native quarters, , I saw Bombay aeleep. Everywhere on hard pavements lay brown skinned natives wrapped tn what appeared to be white sheets. They looked as though laid out for burial Many of them slept In the costumes they had worn all day and wore ne covering. Such weary rest certainly oould net fit them for the toils ef another day. With a member ef the commercial gymkhana, which has a membership of 160, we visited the magnificent buildings and gardens. Cultivated flowers of all colors adorned the grounds adjoining their . tennis courts, croquet lawns and bowling green. An afternoon drive Included the Victoria gardens and museum, the extensive markets, the "Victoria station and the Arab stable. Across the bay are the caves of JSlephanta. The approach to Elephanta is

charming. A short climb brought us to the caves, built In the eighth century. The rock hewn temple is about

130 feet square, with columns and im

had seen In India. Weird- and mysterious, from our point of view, are the customs and ceremonies of the Hindus. In this Instance, when our curi

and the mourners, they stopped the

procession for us to take notes and make kodak exposures. We followed one o these processions to the Burning Ghat, sJong the river hank, where the fimera! pyre la prepared. The fire Is started by a member of the family. The charcoal pickers were there to getl.er their spoils, as also were the, contractors, who pay high prices for the privilege ef gathering up the melted sold, silver pr precious stones which bad defied the flames. - In one of the busy streets many of eur number witnessed a holy man who was probably measuring the distance with his body between his home and seme sacred spot. Holding his hands extended far above his head, an alms bowl, he threw himself to the groand almost full length. Then he arose by placing his feet near his hands, which also rested upon the ground.

From here we watched by night the Cleveland clearly outlined by brilliant strings of electric lights. The native quarters and the European are distinct and separate. During the Mohammedan Invasion of Persia, in the seventh century, the Parsees found here a refuge. Bombay has since been the center of their life. The fire at their altar and the sun in the heavens are to them a symbol of eternal power. Thus they were seen on the shores of Back bay, worshiping the setting sun. The fire in their temples Is never extinguished. The Parsees are ambitious, progressive, wealthy and influential. Many philanthropic and educational Institutions have been made possible by their benefactions. The dress of the Par see women is attractive. They wear a piece of silk eight yards long draped about their bodies and over their heads In graceful folds. This silk is usually

of a light color, has a rich border and

Is sometimes brocaded with gold and silver thread.

A red spot was painted on the groom's forehead to represent good cheer, and a wreath of flowers was placed about his neck. A beautiful drive along the coast of Back bay brought us to Malabar hill. Parks, .squares and plecsure grounds have been laid out on either side. Malabar hill is the location of the hanging gardens, which are built over the city reservoirs. These waters were formerly open to the air, but for sanitarx purposes have been beautifully inclosed. The animal hospital, a Hindu institution, is large and curious. We were told by the manager that last year 5,000 cattle were fed withjn this inclosure. Animals sick, maimed or deserted by their owners are fed here at the expense of the worshipers. When people become too poor to feed their animals they take them here. Birthdays are celebrated by making a donation of grcss or grain. We saw horses, cows, Turnkeys. Jackals, porcupines and other animals that we could not name. The best of the apartment houses of Bombay are owned mostly by Mohammedans and Parsees, who occupy the upper floor. Contrary to our custom, the price of rental on the top floor Is greater than on the ground floor. The cotton Industry of Bombay has revived." It gives employment to 200,000 natives, who work ten hours a diiy. They are fitted with the latest looms

month before we visited It 2,000 pilgrims had worshiped in the cave. The presence of quicksands made It unsafe for our captain to take the Cleveland to Calcutta, so we left "her at Diamond harbor, forty miles to the south, and made cur way by specially chartered steamer up the llugli. The boat's crew were followers of the false prophet. They appeared it various times on the lower dsck performing their ablutions, spreading their mats and going through a series of genuflections which we at once recognized as tho gymnastic worship of the Mohammedans. India's capital tells a tale of British energy. We were Impressed with her broad, clean, straight streets, her fine houses, her lawns, squares, perks and plazas. An afternoon was spent in the Imperial museum. Here collected In a single building are specimens of every period of Indian art and architecture. The building lt3elf Is of Immense proportions.

Returning from the botanical irardecs through the native village of Howrah. I was entertained several hours by a religious festival. Stieet venders had their gnods spread out on the pavements. Toys, nuts and ce.ndies were purchased by every one. Their holiday was a gala day. Merry, go-rounds and miniature rria wheels In every direction were the amusement cf young and old. In a small temphi where the goddess was conoeaied th religious ceremony took place. A religious procession . consisting of five young men who performed a very curious dance and musicians who played the accompaniment on peculiarly constructed Instruments marched throush tha streets. After the procession was ended they gathered at the doors of the shrine. These men danced so violently and became so Intoxicated and. bewildered with excitement that they fell- unconscious before the goddess. They lay prostrate and apparently lifeless until the wreath fell from the goddess' head, which signified that they, had won her favor.
