OF the crossings. How, then, do you
lift your skirt? Do you catch it into
a bunch at the back or in a single fold
under your left arm, or do you hold
1t at either side by the ears. as though
II we're a refractory calf?
Just what the proper manner OF hold
ing the skirt is would be almost i'm
possible to say. although that most
generally accepted brings the back
folds OF the skirt to the left side and
raises them with the side breadth. In
this way the greatest possible width OF
skirt is clear of the dirt with the effect
Of both neatness and grace. At the
same time the woman has one hand
free for an umbrella or bundle. II
che skirt is very full the middle seam
Acne may be held between the two
last fingers and the palm. leaving the
drst finger and thumb to hold the side
seam. A turn OF the wrist toward the
front will tighten the hold on the skirt
and then, by bending the hand. the
knuckles will rest against the side. re-
lieving the arm of the weight. How
ever the skirt is held. there Is that
pretty turn OF the wrist which will add
both grace and ease to the task.
II the streets are not muddy and
women hold their skirts from force of
habit, as they often do. the slight hold
ing OF the front or side may be grace
fully affected. Often if the skirt is
slightly raised at one side il will give
greater freedom for walking, and in
crossing the street the step from pave
ment to sidewalk is greatly facilitated
by this pose. In wearing a trailing
gown on the street it is quite proper TO
raise the skirt at the back, but the hold
should be taken as near the hem of the
garment as possible. and under no cir
eumstances should the hand be held
near the belt.
