Black satin is recommended by an
authority for seryiceable all round
petticoat, one that can be worn with
a cloth gown In the morning, or with
some soft, filmy robe in the afternoon.
II admit" says the authority, lit
sounds trifle like the quilted petticoat
sof twenty-five years ago, but hold to
my belief for all that. Satin, to begin
with, if bought sufficiently good, out
wears half dozen cheap black glace
skirts, which really might be made Of
paper. 1t is delightfully."- comfortable
to walk in-nothing clings to satin
petticoat; it can probably be fashioned
out Of an old dinner gown; it will not
suddenly split with the noise of rent
newspaper, nor bring grief by giving
way about the hem and forming a
death trap to its wearing descending
stairs. A plain black satin skirt, re-
peat, with shaped fiounce, bordered
by three neat double box pleated
ruches, will look well, wear perfectly,
and be truly economical
