The skirt that is made with the
round Empire line is one of the latest
developments of fashion and prom
ises to gain-still further favor as the
season advances. This one is emin-
emily graceful and attractive and can
be made with the circular portions
laid over onto the front gore, forming
the inverted pleats as illustrated, or
with the front gore laid over onto
the circular portions, forming one
wide box pleat, as liked. In the Illus
,tration chiffon broadcloth is simply
stitched with helding silk and
trimmed with little buttons, but the
heavier silks, pongee and henrietta
cloth and all materials that are OF
sufficient weight to take satisfactory
folds are appropriate.
The skirt is cut In three pieces, the
front gore and the circular portions.
The fulness at the back is laid In In
verted pieats, and 1t Is perforated
both for walking length and for the
natural waist line, so that the Empire
line is not obligatory.

q feature, and the high girdle gives
the short waist line that is SO popular
just now. In this instance tucked

all-over lace and lingerie materials
are having equal vogue.
The waist is made with the fitted
lining that serves as foundation.
This lining is faced to form the back
of the chemisette and the front por-
tion Is arranged over it. The blouse
and sleeves are cut in one and are
tucked and arranged over the lining,
while the girdle finishes the lower
edge. Guns complete the lower por-
