The New Fashion in Skirts.

l. "The closest attention must be paid
to the fitting of the present-day skirt,
whether it be short or long" writes
Helen Berkeley-Loyd in the Delinea-
tor, "for false line about the hips
is defect that cannot be concealed.
The new short skirt is bit shorter
than we have recently seen it; hence
the shoes and hosiery worn with It
must be Of high grade, corresponding
with each other and with the gown to
which they belong. Kilting continues
popular; the plaits growing narrower
and more numerous, and fitted more
carefully to the hips. The French
models show much shirring, and in
response the American dressmakers
are Introducing cores gathered or
gagged into the belt, between groups
of plaits. The newest modification of
the fashionable circular skirt has a
bias effect in the front and at the
sides and full plaits in the back. 1t
is also marked by the revived gradu-
ated flounce. In tailored gowns the
line of union is left plain, or else it is
emphasized by a shaped fold finished
with fine cord. Occasionally this fold
is built up in sort of ladder-work of
narrow bands of cloth or of rows of
soutache dyed to match the goods.
There are strong indications that the
apron front will presently he revived,
and some of the most jealousy guard
ed importations show a still more
daring innovation in the lines of the
skirt. For example, chiffon velvet
gown in cut-strawberry color has it's
front gore laid in shallow but unmis-
taxable drapery folds, just below the
belt and parallel with it's dip. The
ends of these drapery curves disap-
pear beneath the narrow box-plaits in
the adjoining cores"
