tons and button-hole loops of silk, and
the same closing is used on the jumper
the right front of which fastens over
the left.
For dressy wear is a skirt having
the tunic or over-drapery as it's promi-
nent feature and soft draped waist
or one in surplice style. The under
skirt is seven-gdred with the sheath
like fit at the top and a moderate full
ness at the lower edge, with a sweep
length. The tunic is applied from the
side back seams, is cut open and
caught up on the left side. The bod
ice is Empire in effect with lace yoke
and sleeves.
For walking, street wear generally,
for business or sports, the American
woman is faithful to plated, plain
gored or circular skirts, according to
the material used. For wool goods
and silks, one sees many plated skirts,
the plain gored and circular makes
are oftener used for linens, ducks,
piques and crash; for when a dress
must visit the washtub occasionally
plaits are the hardest things to iron
and still keep in good shape. Neverthe-
less, the modes are interchangeable
among the different fabrics according
to the taste of the wearer.
For street wear or travelling no ma
terial has had greater vogue than
pongee and one sees many skirts and
coat suits in colors as well as the
natural tint. All the pongee fabrics
are liked for such utility wear.
A linen suit is almost a necessity to
the 'going-away wardrobe" and for
day wear nothing is it's equal when
made of the heavier weight in the
fashionable skirt of circular cut and
long coat. Large fiat white buttons
should decorate the coat
For the afternoon a white suit of
fine sheer linen could be used, made
with a tunic effect or many gored
beading and one of the smart little
coates so popular just now. Such
suits are embroidered and come at
high prices. Coat and skirt suits are
embroidered by hand with design run
ming around the skirt. The coat
lapels and cuffs are heavily worked
upon with designs upon the shoulders.
The woman who can do this work her
self is fortunate. A novel idea is TO
embroidery over a color such as a
biscuit colored linen worked in white
upon very pale blue taffeta under.
meath.
Many an old white gown may be
renewed by the alteration of the
sleeves and new trimmings, in fact il

Stripes in two tones of grey or white

are very chic for outing suits.
For morning wear the shepherds

at present worn by society women
only in modified and subdued form.
While the real Greek costume is one
of clinging folds and graceful lines,
the fadists of fashionable Paris have
followed not so much the classic model
as the notifications or extremes of it
as created by the ladies' of the First
Empire.
While it is not likely that the Amer
lean women will ever attempt any such
extremes as Paris, there Is no doubt
that for some occasions the sheath
skirt has already made place for it.
self. ...-
One of the fabrics liked for these
new skirts is satin or these soft ma
terials that have the qualities for good
draping. 1t must not be too stiff, yet
keep its folds; it must not flare too
easily, but cling to the figure. and ad
just itself easily to long lines. These
new satins are chiffon in weight, and
nothing like in weight or stiffness the
Duchess satins, which are perhaps
only fit for a wedding gown or recep-
ton gown for matron. The satin of
our grandmother days is seldom seen.
A biscuit colored satin had .tunic
drapery, soft girdle with scarf ends,
and was embroidered down the open
hing order of the tunic. Buttons, satin.
covered and embroidered, and loops of
crochetted satin floss formed the but
ton-holes and were also used for trim
ming. The waist accompaniment was
surplice bodice with yoke and long
sleeves of filet lace. When intended
for carriage wear or calling costume,
many of these gowns are supplied with
coat of some sort.
One of the first skirts, and indeed
whole costume is the one to be worn
on the street. An excellent model for
such a purpose was a seventeen-gored
flare skirt which has a sheath-like ad-
Justment about the hips, but flares
! slightly below the knees. A feature
is the joining of these many cores
with tuck seams which are made by
the edge of each gore being turned
under and Tapped on the next gore and
fatty stitched. The effect is that of
tucks that flare gradually toward the
lower edge. A band of trimming was
applied in tunic effect meeting a mar
row band of trimming at each side of
the front gore, which extends almost
to the foot of the skirt and slopes up
ward toward the back. The back
closing is made under an inverted
plat. Blue chiffon serge was the ma
terial chosen, trimmed with bands of
! black satin.
With this skirt was worn an eton
having rounded fronts, back. and sides
on the lower edges, while the edges,
bands on the cuffs, seams and collar
were decorated with bands of black
satin.

for such a one there is a three-piece
skirt that closes in the front on the
left side of the front gore. The sides

while the front, narrow gore lies fiat

closing is made with four covered but
