In the construction Of such country suit as this
the first desderatum Is that 1t should be light. Hence
warm soft wool, but one OF light weight, should be
chosen. There Is much to say in favor OF killed
skirt. 1t Is not much heavier than a plain skirt with
a lining, 1t is not so combining In long walks as
skirt which IS more closely cut. The divided sklrt
which was adopted by many English ladies with the
walking suit, has been entirely abandoned. plain
kiltcd Skirt gives fully much freedom in walking,
and is not as heavy, It does not have to be made
as full as the divided skirt The majority OF women
in good health prefer to support their skirts by the
wnistband finding the drag OF shonldcrstraps far
more uncomfortable, because more unnatural, than
the slight drag OF the skirts the hips. There
are great many dress reformers' who advocate
the use OF shoulder straps fer all the feminine race

can endure a weight from their hips far better
than from their shoulders. Most vbmen have slop-
