Eight Gorcd skirt.

The gored skirt that is relieved OF
severity by some arrangement OF
pleats at front and back is among the
very latest To have appeared This
one is charmingly graceful, yet quito
simple. and is adapted both 10 the
house and 10 street wear. The prin-
cesse style will be favorite one for
a long time TO come, and is much to
be commended wherever it is found
becoming, but there are figures to
which the one of regulation kind is
better suited and the skirt can be cut
on at the waist line and finished with
a belt If desirable. In the illustration
serge is finished simply with
stitched band of the material and
with handsome buttons on the front
panel. All fashionable materials that
are heavy enough TO be made in SO
simple a style are appropriate. how
ever
The skirt is cut In eight cores. Tho
back gore Is arranged TO form a box
pleat and the front gore Is laid in
pleats that give the box pleat effect
and conceal the seams.
The quantity OF material required
for the medium size Is twelve yards
twenty-four, ten and half yards
thirty-two or five yards forty-four
inches wide when material has figure

perfect fit easily obtained; also II has
novel pockets that give the character
istic tailor finish. In the illustration
broadcloth Is finished with collar and
cuffs OF silk, but all the suiting mate
rials and all those used for separate
Jackets are correct, so that the coat
can be used for linen, taffeta and the
like and made available for the late
demand OF the summer az well as for
the heavier fabrics OF the future.
The coat is made with fronts, back
and side-backs. The fronts are fitted
by means Of darts at the shoulders,
and the back is arranged 10 form
pleats at It's edges. which are Tapped
over onto the side-backs. Pockets
are inserted and finished with laps.
and there Is a regulation collar with
lapels at the neck. The cuffs are pref
tily shaped and allow effective use OF
banding or contrasting material.
The quantity Of material required
FOR the sixteen-year size is four and a
quarter yards twenty-seyen, two and
half yards forty-four or two yards
hfty-two inches wide, with one-half
yard twenty-one inches wide for coll
lar and cuffs.
