THE HAREM SKIRT—OR JURE CULOTTE.
If the new mode of the jupo culotlo is not to be a success in tho world of fashion, it has found a considerable favour in tho doll world. The Americans are -said to show a striking partiality for dolls clothed in the new habiliments, and the manufacturers aro obliged to fabricate them in thousands. A Paris contemporary draws from this fact tho deduction that the popularity pi these jupe culotto toys in toyland is a favourable augury for tho dressmakers.
Seek not to force the (English maid To, wear the skirts called "harem: ; The chances are she will upbraid, And straight refuse to wear ’em. "With dignity she’ll say, "I’m -not so awfully harum-scarum: Besides, there’s one thing you’ve forgot— Suppose I chanced to tear ’em! “Although tight ‘hobbles’ I’ve endured Hntil I scarce could bear ’em. Of one thing you _may rest assured I'll not adopt tho 'harem.’ “Let Turkish ladies don the brooks For which their lives prepare ’em— I’m sure no Englishwoman seeks, For fashion’s sake, to share ’em. "Then here’s to the old-fashioned skirt. To dust the which I dare ’em. The Englishwoman ne’er will flirt With that they call the Tiatem.’” —W. M. ,
