Every lady, says the little French mo-
diste, who is professionally known as
Importer and Designer; Gowns; Theatre
Waists a Speciality" every lady has a
short skirt this winter. She may, in fact,
have more, but always has one neat,
tailored skirt, which clears the ground
This is intended for walking. shopping or
general street use. It is often very smart
and has no doubt cost a good deal Of
money. But it is worth 1t, if only in the
freedom it confers from the fatigue of
holding up the train. We all have our
trained skirts for calling or receptions,
but we do not put them on as a rule be-
fore 4 o'clock, unless to wear at some
luncheon, christening, wedding or break
fast party.
The short skirt is often called a "trot-
about" 1t is noticeable for the neatness
of the back drapery. 1t bears no creases
which betray 10 the cloth has been
crumpled by being lifted and carried in
a warm gloved hand.
The constant constraint Of holding up a
trained skirt in the street is said to make
women grow crooked, raising the right
shoulder unduly, while the left is cramp-
ed down by the fatigue of holding up a
heavy, lined, cloth garment. To allow a
train to drag in the street is not to be
contemplated for a moment. No clean
girl would permit it to. The alternative
is the short street skirt, which every
lady possesses.
Many skirts are almost covered with
stitched bands Of the material. piped with
satin, and these bands occasionally form
a lattice work round the skirt either at the
hem or at the waist. The braiding on
many of these gowns is truly wonderful,
interblended with sable. generally en-
pioyed as panels and as a bordering to the
revers or round cape trimming on the
bodice, much of the beauty of the dress
depending on the cravat and tie In some
delicate tone Of chiffon. Many of the new
dresses are of some shade of gray, and
cloth is frequently trimmed about the
body with gray chiffon accentuated by
chinchilla. A gray satin. yelled with chif-
fon, covered with paillettes, forming an
embroidery of silver flowers, is quite a
new style of Inner gown.
