THE FErrICoAT MUST GO.
Fashionable Modistes Refuse to Fit
Dress Over a Muslin skirt

Dress over a Muslin Skirt
From the Eetv York World.
The newest thing in petticoats is no petit
coat at all. This assertion may tax credu-
lily, but it is a fact. fashionable fact per-
haps, but nevertheless a fact. 1t is hard TO
believe that woman would ever outlive her
love for the fine cambria skirts with their
cluster tucks, open insertions and Swiss en-
broidered ruf1es, but she has. and. more
than that. she scorns the lace-edged French
skirt, and would not give 30 ITS for the
finest convent-made flannel skirt IN stock.
At first it seemed positively shocking to lay
aside that most feminine aud really beauti-
full garment, but the fashionable nodlste
began the crusade, declared that she could
not fit the dress nicely over the gathered
cotton under wear and ordered it off. The
tryant was obeyed, but not surprised, for
did she not eliminate the narrow-skirted,
round-shouldered chemise and the lozenge-
shaped corset coverl
1t is no betrayal of confidence TO say that
this onslaught on underwear had its origin
on the stage. No society actress or artistic
goes through a part in the regulation under
wear for the reason that her freedom would
be restricted. She could not get around in
ruffied dimity, nor depOrt herself with any
| sort of grace in starched cambria. The
| QTeSsfQdkeT VINO nus a uT0ss pEtI stays,
stockings and tights very soon learrs how
superior the result is COMPARED to the gown
made over gathers, strings, bands or yokes-
! One is perfectly smooth, the other cannot
be kept from wrinkling. It has come to
| point now when the modiste will refuse 70
| fit skirt over a petticoat and that ends
all argument she does not presume TO say
| that madame shall not wear what she likes,
| but II will not try to fit you unless you
dress as | dictate. When the costume Is
finished you may do with it what you
please"
Skirts hang better and bodies fit nicer
the less there is under them, AID in warm
weather, when the dress is made over lin
ing, there is really no necessity for under
skirts. With the tailor-made suit, silk
lined, there is sufficient warmth for cool
weather, and q long ulster as finish will
suffice for c-ld days This new arrange
ment is an advance IN the right direction.
Women need fewer clothes for house wear
and more wraps or outer garments for the
street.
This desire for smoothly-fttinR skirts and
creaseless basques means rebellion against
the baggy, divided skirts, which will never
be adopted by women who follow the styles.
