one thing 10 be remembered. that the
straight-cut pleated skirt should always
be trimmed at the base in order TO
make the edge ripple out freely. whereas
the sun-ray does so of itself. A practical
plan is to have a fiounce of plain ma
terial gathered onto the accordion
pleated top, and in this way are made
many of the dance skirts that are sold
ready prepared when the frill is always
edged and inserted with narrow iaces.
TheA an accordion-pleated chiffon skirt
can have frillings of lace headed with
narrow ruches of pinked taffeta. and
thereby NAV be evolved a most daintily

tafYeta ruchings are as pretty on the

The deep flounce. which is of the new

deed, the older plan of pleating is quite
as popular as the other, and there is
this advantage attached to 1t. that chif-
fon or silk treated on this plan can be
bought In any quantity by the yard

that is to be sun-ray pleated has TO
be made up first and pleated afterwards;
and another advantage is that the

whereas the circular does badly.
