appear almost straight, yet those of
heavy fabrics have one or two short
steel5 in their foundation skirt, merely
to support them, not TO add to their
size; the pad bustles are omitted alto
gether. The fronts and sides Of many
skirts are perfectly fat, while all are
made fun in the back by means of gath
ers or pleats, or some lengthWise jabOt
folds. When two materials are used in
handsome Camelshair and velvet dresses,
the velvet is underneath, and the soft
wool is slightly draped at the top on
each side, and cut out there to show the
velvet below the belt, and it is again
slashed open in the front at the foot TO
disclose the velvet there also. In other
skirts width Of velvet or silk or whatever
| the contrasting material may be, appears
down the left side quite straight, or else
large ornament of passementerie or q
| dropping sash of velvet holds up the left
side of the wool skirt TO show velvet
skirt beneath. Few pleatings are at the
foot Of skirts; sometimes only q band of
velvet or of wide ribbon, or q facing of
| the dress goods, is at the foot of the
! foundation skirt. For trimming the out
| side of straight wool dress, no matter
of what color, black borders are used in
rows Of velvet ribbon, or else three
straight rows of open patterned black
| passementerie, or the single row of van
| dyke points of passementeT1e.
