NEW SKIRTS MUST BE SHORT
Trains Are Almost Obsolete, but VIII
Be Worn by Some Who Refuse to
Give Them Up.

The new skirts are short even in ai-
ternoon and evening gowns Of the
most formal character. Trains are
almost obsolete, but they will always
be worn to a certain extent, for some
women refuse TO give them up.
Where they are used at all they are
short and narrow The prettiest
length skirt comes just to the instep.
Few women can wear anything short
er successfully. All the skirts are
narrow and short, but no one single
type prevails. For tailored suits the
skirts are either gored or circular or
partially plated. In more preten-
tious suits of velvet, cashmere, pru-
nellie cloths, etc, the skirt drawn into
a band at the bottom is very popu-
lar. but one still sees tunics Of all
kinds over plain or plated under
skirts. In reception gowns and eve
ming dresses one material is usually
yelled with another, and the skirts are
of infinite variety of cut-The De

Terhune sat down in my wickor

Remodelinq a Skirt.

The plated skirt, with plaits sewed
just below the hip line may be made
over by sewing the plaits down nearly
to the knees and putting a trimming
band straight around just about the
knees. Take out any extra fullness
in the skirt to bring it to required
width. Now is the time to get out last
years garments and make them over.
A woman who had a plated white
wool skirt and a plated brown skirt
made two up-to-date skirts from them.
Having none of the material of the
skirts left she bought a pretty trim
ming band to match and sewed it in
place. There was no bungling look
which sometimes marks the made
over garment The skirts were new
in cut. The band on the bottom Of
the skirt affords a most excellent op-
portunity to use a last years gown
which is otherwise a little out Of date

Latest In Petticoats.

Dress underskirts are of fine muslin
or batiste. Lace is more used in
trimming than embroidery, all trim
mings being neat rather than elabor-
ate. Allover embroidery, cambric,
cluny, torchon and honiton edgings
and insertions are best.
Under wash dresses, colored lawn,
chambray and batiste petticoats are
most popular. These are embroidered
in white, with white lace insertions
and colored ribbon headings.
Among novelties are white muslin
petticoats with a fiounce reaching to
the knees, embroidered in color and
finished with beading run with rib
bon of the same shade.
