seen on women, the more their merits
make impression.
There is one feature, however, of the
stylish skirt models that hardly will
meet with most WON ems favor. And
this, though this vely feature has the
Endorsement of those women who are
prompt to wear new styles. This is the
excessive length, not of sweeping train,
but of sides and front. This length,
like so many other current fancies, is
handed down from early in last century.
DrGSsmakers declare that it is very
graceful fashion. Some of their custom
ers retort that ii would be, were women
ever doing minuet dances and niincing
steps. Here again the prompt adopters
of new notions are going the new skirts,
undue length and all, but ordinary wcm-
en-, those with greater cares and inter
ests than those that hinge on their
wardrobes, are likely to fight shy Of this
notion clear to the end.
Silks have more than recovered sum
mer stylishness. Last season, and in
less degree the year before, the general
admiration for smooth faced cloths of
light weights helped to keep silk from
the place it usually has, but now silks
of the soft, supple weaves are in vogue
for about all manner of dress. Their
favor for shirt waist costumes is pro-
nounced, and the very weaves most used
in this way are also employed in more
elaborate gowns. Then figured silks are
in fine array, and in one sort or another
silks are restored to everything from
simple house dresses to grand evening
finery Afternoon dresses of silk are
