NEW YORK, March l9.-Ihe style o1 skirts which will be worn during the spring and probably the early summer months differs but little from the pre- vailing style, which has been in vogue for some time. The leading skirt is plaited and usually has real or simu lated tunic and the popular variations of the undraped skirt include those with plain front and side gores attached to a widely side-plaited back, with all round side or box plaits mounted on a knee-deep tablier and with side plait clusters between narrow gored fronts and backs.
 Only with the very long polonaise is the plainly gored or very scant circu- lar skirt to be generally worn, while the straight cut type, gathered into the belt at sides and back, is chiefly employed for peasant frocks of wash material fine English mohair or very sheer sil- ken fabric.
 Although it has many competitors for favor, the linen dress will be extensive ly worn throughout the summer and early autumn. Nothing quite equals it for utility and, although the material is easily rumpled. it may be readily pressed and it will withstand a great amount of hard wear. During this month and next many two and three piece suits of heavy linen will be made up by fashionable tailors, as invariably there is tremendous demand for them the moment that the first warm wave sweeps over the town.
 One manufacturer of linen suits, not ed for his conservatism, Is making up a model which is certain to appeal to the woman who prefers to do her shop ping during the morning hours, and to the business woman whose duties keep her away from home during the greater part of the day. This suit has the gen erally becoming thirty-six inch mannish box coat and the widely side-plaited skirt fitting smoothly over the hips and escaping the ground by about three inches, and is extremely modish when developed in tobacco brown, Venetian blue or tea-leaf green.
 Another practical type of the tailored wash suit is seen in the crash weaves which show dark blue, brown or green mixed with white or pale gray and made up into smart looking skirt having rather narrow front and side gores at tached by buttons to a widely plaited back. The coat of the semi-ftted order has sectional sides accentuated by piped seams and gains something of the fash ionable Russian air by virtue of broad belt which takes up the fullness at the back and front and wide sleeves gather into deep cuffs.
 Many of the coats to be worn during the coming season suggest the lines of the figure without actually defining it, have low rolling collar, below which are three large buttons of pearl or braiding, and sometimes, in lieu of but tonholes loops of the material are placed directly at the edge of the left front In a few instances the fastenings con sist of loop-equipped frogs of fancy white braid and cord olives. None of these coats have abruptly slanting fronts. In fact, so slightly are they cut away that mere glimpses of the blouse and girdle are visible, and at the back they are but slightly longer than at the sides.
 To accompany the tailored suits of washable material the smartest of the countless new models in shirtwaists is the one developed in heavy white linen with front, collar and cuffs piped with a color matching the suit s fabric Next in favor are the waists of striped madras in white and color, hand em. broidered in the shade of the stripe and third on the list are the waists having a color scalloped edge coming against the front and side fastening Designed especially for quite young girls is tailored blouse which fastens
