THE PLATED SKIRT.

It takes an expert rightly to- 3rape
the plated skirt of this seasoa. The
moyor-age of summer and spring is
not the style meant when it is de

There is no evidence of q fong, tight
yoke ana a plated founce in the new
skirts.
They fit securely over the hips ana
extend for two inches above the waist
line. and are worn without belts. The
plafts are Of all sizes and arranged in
panels Of different widths. They start
from here, there and everywhere
They burst upon the view at the most
unexpected spots. There is no regu-
larity aoout them.
Ii is this irregularity that makes
the difficulty. Twenty skirts can b.

and no two be alike in the manage

And yet with all these plaits put
