in fashion, and with it, OF couree,
comes an increased width Of skirts;
this mainly In the back, where the
skirt is usually laid in broad double or
triple box-plaiis its length; these
caught by tapes underneath, two or
three times In doubie.linger lengths
apart, then II pressed in place they re-
niain in folds. There is but little
plating, pulling and rufiling seen; all
of this seems 10 be left for basques and
round waists. The melon, the eur
plice, the SHRED waist, all are very
popular, and vests, plastions Of every
shape, revere, berthes, bretelles, straps,
forks, tongues and buckles, all serve
TO build up and make special promi-
neDoe of the upper part of the dress
OF combinations there is no end;
eveI the satins and prints have the
plain and figured side by side, as if
one never thought OF purchasing q
plain frock.
Skirts are made with broad panel
plaits on the front and sides, with fans
of perhaps q contrasting material or
