Cn1ined skirts,

Ladies' tailors are making skirts with
out lining, intending them to be worn
over a full silk petticoat Of taffeta or
some such glazy texture. There Is
neither binding nor facing on the bot

skirt clears the ground, it Is not likely
to wear out before the season is over.
These unlined cloth skirts are not only
light weight, but they fit the figure like
a glove. fall in graceful lines at tho

even silk-lined skirts. But this would
not be the case with any other dress
