About two-thirds of the members of the general assem bly went on a tour o? inspection yes terday afternoon through the State Hospital for the Insane. Gov. Man ning. and Arthur JLV Herrings M.-.IX* who made a report on improvements needed by the institution, accompanied the legislators. After the buildings had been inspected, Dr. Herring In a brief talk explained his Ideas about the changes that should be made; in the buildings with a view to improv ing the sanitary conditions under which the patients live. The legislators were shown through almost every building on the hospital grounds. Judging by expressions, the defect that impressed them most" In the plant was the lack of light and air in the older buildings, especially those used for negro men and women and white men. The poor equipment of the toilet rooms was in striking contrast to what many of the- legisla tors expected to find at the hospital. The buildings occupied by negro men and women and white men were very crowded; ? The unsatisfactory location of the "kitchens in the basements of some of the buildings, necessitating the Temov al of the cooked food on trucks and dumb waiters to the dining rooms, was explained to the inspecting legislators. They saw, too, that the fire protection was inadequate and the heating sys tem old and inefflcieht The floors, walls and ceilings ef many of the cor fldorsand rooms were badly In need of repair.

New York, Feb. 0. ? Full skirts liavQ undoubtedly come to stay for a wlillo at least. For all that, there Is no rea son why the woman with several long tjintc sklrtH in her wardrobe should be discouraged, for thoy have not been discarded by any manner of means. A number of the large French dressmak ers are using thfcin this year with great success and in such a way that the in genious womai^ may follow their exam ples with her old skirts. For Instance the new tunic skirts are very long, much longer than those of last year, showing scarcely more than oue or two Inches of the lower skirt beneath ; but to offset this, which looks rather difficult when your last season's long tunic showed at least six inches of a lower skirt, yokes are very much the rage, und liy attaching a tunl? to a yoke it will be long enough to suit this season's require ments. If the dress you wish to remodel is of slTR. or a summer fabric, a very slni ple way of modernizing it is to add a lower section of two or more ruffles, according to the width of the ruffles and the depth of the lower skirt which shows. " I saw a very pretty taffeta dress the other day which had been made with a flaring tunic and a very tight lower skirt. The owner of the dress made the lower skirt wide by In serting/ a triangular piece of the ma terial into the back seam. Two ruf fles she-?ade of the same taffeta, with narrow hems hiachine hemstitched. These were placed onto the founda tion skirt and, of course, the piecing wiis hidden, and joined belong the long tunic. The dress was very smart and looked as though It might have been designed this season instead of last. With a little forethought and a care ful studying of new designs to be seen in the fashion magazines or fashion sections of the newspapers many an old dress whose style is hopeless can be made into an up-to-date garment which will glvq a great deal of pleas ure.
