FIT OF SILK PETTIcoAT.
The Greatest Care Should Be Taken
That This Garment Be Smooth
About the Hips.

AS the skirts increase in width and
flare it becomes doubly necessary that
the under petticoat be decidedly full.
With a cloth or velvet skirt particularly
is it important to have very wide good
silk petticoat, for nothing Is uglier than
to see a cloth skirt sinking in about the
feet. All skirts are. Of course. made up
with underskirt attached, 50 that the
majority Of women are apt to give lit
tie thought to the pettio0at
Since the fullness is now placed so
high up It is more than ever necessary
to keep the desired width about the
hem, and this can only be done By hay-
ing a stiff silk under pettcoat fitted well
about the hips. with a wide silk fiounce
or with numberless hounces. AS SO much
material is necessary in all the present
skirt models. it is obligatory that the
silk pettcoat be most carefully fitted
for most assuredly one wants to be no
larger than is absolutely demanded BY
Dame Fashion.
To be Of any use. there should always
be a fuH 1Ounce attached TO the skirt
and it is an excellent plan to lay beneath
this founce an under rufle Of silkoline
or percaline, which wears splendidly and
viii protect the perishable tafeta-
Taffeta silk is undoubtedly the best
for the purpose. as all other silks, while
they may wear longer, lack the neces-
sary stiffness. For street wear dark
colors are best. both because they arc
less conspicuous and because light
shades soil so quickly shirred or gath
cred ruffes are far better than the &C.

a most necessary study, says the Pitts

practice can make one perfect A little
theory may go long way, but it is
enough to remember these two rules;
