NEW MODELS
WINTER SKIRTS
(By Jeanette NJ. walsh }

New York. Dec. 2O.-All things
point to long lines, and sheath lin
fittings. 1t is seen in the close-fit-
ting forty-inch cut-away coat. or in
the tight military coat, followed by
the revival of the redingote, and nov
the warning comes that skirts WI
feel the effect of the long line.
The very newest of these skirts is
called the Paquin. II falls full quite
two inches upon the ground al
round the feet, has slight train.
1t fits like sheath about the hips
and waist above which line IL is car.
ried ending in a crushed fold across
the front by means OF few gathers
in the side front are few ripples to
relieve the close-fitting adjustment
This model has been so named be-
cause the wife of the great creator
of new models, was the first to wear
it. Now Madame Fnquin, is a tall
graceful beautiful woman, but the
average woman will have to adopt
change, or perhaps leave altogether
alone this new model. After our past
models, it will need n season or two
TO get used to the idea. which con
tains just hint Of the habit skirt
and n hint Of the sheath skirt of
some seasons ago.
skirt of this description intend
ed for part of an evening costume,
was developed from cream silk pop
lin trimmed with filet lace embroid-
cred in seed pearls. The skirt was
cut in one piece. on circular lines,
with the seam in front, in sweep
length by peculiar cut in the seams
the front ripples slightly across the
front. The bottom. about four inches
from the lower edge, is a three-inch
band of the filet lace. The waist OF
this costume was a charming dc
sign, the overblOuse having a bertha
of the lace and full chemisette OF
used. A lining had been used as
foundation for the gathered body
portion caught under the crush Cir
die, and attached at the upper por-
ton under the bertha forming V
beth back and front. The short puff
sleeves are inserted in the founda-
ton, the arm holes of the over
blouse being finished with lace. The
neck of the under-blouse is cut down
only to the top of the collar bone
and the tucked chiffon was laid owe;
pink chiffon. Long white gloves
were worn and a necklace of pearls
save the finishing touch. The same

plying is unique; these emerge from
each side OF a centra strap which 4
put on in a straight or undulated
line, the quilllngs may be OF cloth,
velvet ribbon, etc.
The waists OF the three-piece suit
is combination OF the material and
lace OF net or chiffon or silk. All
draperies are carefully studied TO
keep the natural outline of the figure
and bring out it's best points. Many
or these waists are worn outside the
skirt being well finished along the
under side showing on its smooth
edge no fold or wrinkle and its low
er edge covers the belt line. but new
err fails below It.
The coat or outside garment is
often made In a cape effect and fur
trimmed. and any of the new models
may be used.
Some very pretty pieces of jewelry
are shown of pink coral. Long strings
OF 1t are worn about the neck and
watch chains of 1t are used also
bracelets. For all it gives the effect
of simplicity 1t is in reality an ex-
pensive ornament, for the best pink
coral comes from Italy and is scarce.
The topaz and amethyst are the
most popular Of the semi-precious
stones and some of the settings for
these stones are of the most beauti-
full design.

costume might be developed in one
o fthe popular silks-tussor taking
first rank perhaps and trimmed with
oriental embroidery
Another skirt that carries out the
sheath like appearance is called the
tunic skirt II is close fitting cir.
cular in eff ct. suggestive OF an
oNerskirt, fun at the bottom. with
the upper portion decorated I'm some
manner. For afternoon. reception.
or matinee wear nothing could be
more pl ,asing and graceful. Such n
skirt consisted of foundation oil
seven cores draped with a deep cir
cular founce. The over-skirt ia
smoothly htte dover the hips and
three tucks on each side OF the front
allows the tunic to fall I'm graceful
folds. while opening at the side seams
are an effective feature. The over
skirt has a decoration of three rows
Of s0utache braid and above these is
a bralding design that runs up to-
wards the wait line. with this skirt
Is worn bodice the salient feature
Of which is the groups OF three tu"ks
on each side OF the front and bach. A
yroup of tucks decorate the back OF
lie sleeve pun TO the elbow and lace
frills giving pretty soft finish VIII J!
used on the edge of these tucks and
on the cuffs. The waist is cut out
in square outline edged with fine
soutache braid and filled in with a
chiffon yoke. A silk girdle COM
pletes the costume. A gown like
that described above would be Of
fective in amethyst chiffon broad
clot htrimmed with fine soutache
braid OF the same color. The tucks
could be finished with fine braid
edging or very narrow chiffon
pleating that matches the costume
and the yoke could be OF cream lace.
Another pretty combination would
be champagne taffeta decorated
with bands of embroidery or heavy
lace.
One of the new model circular
skirts may be constructed either az
a one or two-piece skirt In the
former case the extremely close fit is
obtained by the use of darts over the
hips, while in the latter a gored front
seam does away with the extra full
ness. An attractive illustration OF
this mode was constructed brown
wool batiste and the lower portion
is finished with three crosswiee
bands of brown velvet. Such a skirt
in crepe cloth in mole color would
be a pleasing change from so many
of the pleated or gored skirts or the
combinations of the other skirts. A
firm heavy piece of black pOngee
would develop into a very servlceable
house skirt for wear with fancy
lingerie or lace blouses: and an
over-blouse of the pongee would be
a welcome addition.
While these sheath-like skirts are
being evolved, there is no diminu-
ton in the favor shown to the pleat-
ed skirts, which are altogether too
