this description OF the peculiar cut :: On
lhe left side. In front, is a gore taken
across to make room for the knee. This
gore is not straight across, but forms q
! curve, making kind of jacket for the
| itnee to fit in. The side breadth is like
shat OF an ordinary skirt, but the back
che Is peculiar in many respects. First,
there IS q small gore on the upper part,
; which terminates and commences again
o-l'the middle Of the skirt. These cores
lave the same object as the one over
he knee-that is, to form a space fer

waist and mounted on a piece Of silk GAL

closed and buttoned Oh each side OF the
hips, something like the old-faslioned,
iiap-ironted breeches Of our granddad-
dies. The upper part is buckshin, and
the legs are cloth, like the dress. The

fancy styles for riding habits, but such
things do not last and the plain dress is
always elegant. Skirts have no more
