Miss Ethel Barrymore has intro
duced a new skirt to the world of
fashion, and from the mere idea of her
adopting it the impression is conveyed
that the style viii be widely initiated.
1t is a double train that has caused the
mild furry OF excitement in the world
of dress.
1t was introduced at one of Mrs.

musicales, says the Philadelphia Even
ing Telegraph, where Miss Barrymore,
who wore it. was the centre of an in
terested group.
The gown was e|XtraVagantly simple,
and had the Paris cachet all over it. 1t
was made of American beauty colored
supple satin, draped so as to@fully out
line the figure, the lines in the skirt
ending in two pointed trains, three feet
long on either side, while the back was
scooped out like a butterdy's wing. 1t
is technically known as the J|acqueline
butterfly train. The effect was that of
q bird at rest, with its long wings
folded close to its sides. Society
