hips and in the back, with plenty of
flare around the foot. This style of
skirt necessitates a very careful choos
ing OF undergarments, but that prob
lem is being rapidly solved and the
women are looking rather better in
consequence. The new skirts have the
front breadths narrow at the top, quite
wide at the foot, and the sides cut cir
cular or gored. In these respects there
are not many decided changes; the
trimmings of the skirt, however, are
rather different. The fiat bands and
the folds are still used and also some
braiding, but all these trimmings are
put on quite differently. The newest
skirts are on the overskirtplan- There

skirts.

the new styles that are brought out
are exaggerated, and it is not well for
anybody who has to consult economy
to buy before they are certain that the
style will remain in fashion for time
1t is all very we'll for woman who
has lot of money to spend to buy any
thing that strikes her fancy, but these
exaggerated styles do not stay in fash
ion long, and it is best to be patient if
one has to be economical.
