CLINGING STREET SKIRTS.
THE SILK PETTICOAT 40 LONGER NEcEs-
sARY-DAINTY WHITE SKIRTS AGAIN
vocr-u,
IN VOGUE

Street skirts are made almost like riding habits
IN their clingng effect the graceful skirt that
a woman can wear. which fact is almost a compen-
sat,on for the added length. As, however these
skirts with their fanlike backs are made without
iining or rather separate from the indispensable
silk lining. which is short enough 10 clear the
ground and in lieu of a petticoat they
are so easily held up by hand In the street
that their length Is hardly an annoyance. They
are faced on the under side with the same silk as
that which serves az petticoat. but are stiff
fened, the outer skirt and petticoat being on
the band. This does away with the
silk skirt, which for the last few years has been
worn instead OF a white wash skrt-an idea which
IL not fresh or dainty. to say the least Now the
white skirt is again deemed necessary. but 1t has
changed It's character. and IL OF thin muslin worn
rather short. serving merely az protection. and
can be changed and Numbered.
