Tuesday, as she held in her hand yards
of Moleskin trimming and declared that
the lad of the season was 'moleskin"-
moleskin fur, molesln color ana every
thing suggestive of moleskin
The color IS soft and subdued, more so
than the "gun-metal." which for two
seasons has asserted itself in jewelry,

the American prejudice against it the
full skirt is gaining the ascendancy; |. e.
the skirt which has a gracefulness about
it in every way is far more to be adj

the past three seasons.
THE present fashion as to skirts. how
