ladies, and made to serve rs the

across the back that stop on the sides,
and there are one or two muslin
hounces around the foot; tapes attached
to the sides are tied underneath the
hoops to give the desired curve. Au-
other skirt that gives good size, dis
penses with hoops, and may be easily
made at home, and laundried there at
small cost. is also hustle skirt made OF
corded muslin. The muslin with the
cords in bars takes the starch best,

about two yards and an eighth in
