CHICAGO, ILL.,. Jan. 27.-Hoor
skirts are making frantic attempt to
swing around into fashion once more
and they are being aided and abetted
in their effort by another relic of the
past. tbe hustle. The bold things
have met with certs in degree IF sue
cess this winter in Paris and they are
now penetrating a flank vement
upon the people of America by affect
ing landing in Chicago. One dress
maker in this city has already made
during the last few months over 400
gowns equipped "ith the. hoop skirt.
Three elaborate dresses provided with
skirts of hoops were exhibited with
much pride by another dressmaker at
the last monthly meeting of the
Chicago Dressmakers' club.
Hoop skirts don't call themselves
hoop skirts any sslonger. They are in.
weighing an entrance into Chicago
society under the innocent name of
"circlettes. That alias, like the or
ginal models of the hoped affairs
themselves, has been imported from
Paris and has accomplished wonders,
disarming the fears of modern maids
and matrons. The hustle is having a
harder time to secure the attachment
of society. IT possess no ingratiating
soubriquet like the hoop skirt. The
busele's other name is the "tiiter, md
that doesn't help any.
The new corners are being built of
steel But that form of construction
doesn't brighten the dressmakers. who
show unanimity in declaring there is
no danger they will lose their custom
ers to the steel trust or that women
will go rattling down the streets like
boiler factories in full action and be
nicknamed "armorclads.
