TIE SHORT SKIRTIN PARIS
1t Hangs Fu:i Around the Feet and
Shows a Louis XIV Heel Beneath

New York Sun: One practical point
in dress is the advent Of the short
skirt in Paris. 1t is the walking skirt
adopted by the Parisians for morning
wear, but in their revised edition it is
an attractive example of an abbrevi-
ated skirt, made doubly so by being
very full around the feet, and being
hlled with narrow iounces of silk from
the knee down, or rather the founda-
ton skirt has the ruffles overlapping
each other to accentuate the fullnegs.
with this sort of skirt the petticoat
u match the lining so, as the skirt
swings, one color only is seen.
In length 1t clears the ground by an
inch and a half, but, of course, this
varies according to the height, taste
and inclination OF the woman who
wears 1T. Another point which helps to
make this skirt a success is the shoe,
which with a fiat, low heel is very ugly,
SO the Partisan wear the Louis XIV
heel In medium height, and chooses q
medium pointed toe.
This careful attention to every fea-
ture OF a costume Is one OF the secrets
or the Parisian's success in dress, and
directly she makes any radical change
all the accompanying articles of wear
ing apparel are selected with reference
to il.
This Partisan short skirt is made OF
ovile as well as serge and cloth, and
the blouse coat is as fancy as You
choose to have II.
