have the fun skirt tucked closely to
below the knees, from where it falls
full around the feet in a deep lace or
footing edged flounce. The gathered
bodice also reveals insets of this airy
but durable trimming, set between
clusters of fine horizontal tucks, or
crossing the material in large diamonds
or squares. 1t is belted taut at the
waist with ribbon. which may likewise
form the stock, over which falls a turn
over collar of the net and dimity.

Comfort in COrscts.
Some cotton skirts are seen with
tunic draperies, but they are happily
rare.and it is observed that no mat

goes with it is of the straight front
variety. This cases the body more than
formerly at the waist. producing a very
