Novelties In the Way of Skirts Preparing

The plain skirt has held sway for SO
long that trimmed skirts seem quite q
new thing. There is great reluctance to
abandon plain ones, however, and they
still hold their own, the most renowned
dressmakers showing many new models
of costumes in whish the skirt Is left plain.
Although there are a number Of differ
ent shapes in skirts, all are alike in re-
spect of being tight at the top, in front
and over the hips and full at the back.
This fullness is sometimes gathered, some-
times plated. The latest type of skirt
