with many hand tucks and lavish
use of lace.
The skirts are rather long and
clinging. They are so cut that there
is no superfuous fulness, being

One Of the astonishing and clever

the We Of the hip and abdomen.
The fulness Is but slight, and
adds to the grace of the falling
folds rather than detracts.
Yet these little pleats prevent the
close-clinging skirt from emphasiz-
