Full figures therefore strongly require a
certain amplitude in the skirt and folds
which pre- vent it from lying too closely.
A new idea for skirt decoration is an
adaptation Of the scarf which oriental
women wear around the hips. This is
extremely pretty for slender figures.
The illustration shows n costume hav-
ing skirt Of violine peau de sole, which
Is laid in wide plaits fastened fat rs far
down as the knee, below which Il "y arc
allowed to fall free. The bolero Of
violet velvet bordered with applica ons
OF guipure. The fronts are connected "
three satin tabs and steel buttons. n ,

plated peau dc sole, with applications O.
guipure and deep lace frill. Beneath
the bolero is bodice of white satin with
fine horizontal plaits. The cravat is of
white lace, the belt Of black satin with a
steel buckle. The toque. composed en-.
tirely Of viOlets. is trimmed with a bow of
black satin and a steel buckle.

adopt tights and abandon the pettcont
altogether, the place of the latter being
taken by maI.y frills of silk placed on
the inside of the lower half of the skirt.
When the pctticoat is retained. it is fitted
closely mt the top without plaits or Il
band, and all the decoration and hunncss
are confined to the part below the knee.
y pretty idea is To cover the entire lin
ing Of the skirt half way up with tiny
pinkcd rufllcs and shirrings or pulngs of
taifcta.
The cut shows Il fine tailor made cos
tune of nickel gray satin cloth. The skirt
is 50 decorated rs to simulate three cross
