The New Skirts.

The lengths of walking skirts do not
vary. They are all sufficiently short to
escape the ground. which may mean from
one inch to ankle length, according to the
build and age Of the wearer. a young
woman may, if she pleases. cut her skirt
shorter than woman Of more mature
age, and a stout woman should always
wear them longer than one who is slen-
der. The latter type may wear skirts
long. too. if she wishes, but the stout or
short matron cannot afford to cut her
skirt short If she wishes to look her best.
Thus the question of the length of skirts
for general wear is easily disposed of, but
for the more important gowns for after
noon. house and evening the matter of
deciding is more difficult owing to the
narrow width of the skirts.
All the skirts for formal and evening
wear are cut long, yet SO narrow that lit
tie train is visible. In order to give evil
dence of train the dresses are cut long
in front and at the sides and only trl-
fle longer in the back. Even then. as the
wearer walks, the material winds itself
about the feet until the gown actually
seems to be the same length all the way
around.
incidentally, to walk gracefully in one
Of the new skirts Is a difficult feat. Man.
aged correctly, skirt of this style is an
aid to height, because the front is long
from the belt downward Thus the new
style of cutting the skirt long all the way
around is in one way an Improvement
over the trained skirt formerly worn, In
that it is more generally becoming, now
that the fashionable figure is supposed to
be tall. and the majority Of women are
only Of medium height or short.
To prove this becomE gness let any
woman put on the old-style trained skirt.

NJ. Friedman, Jewish member of the

Jews in the district.

Then let her take the train and bring it
to the front in winding effect and she
will see how much the change adds to her
height. This, then, is the general effect of
the new trained skirt intended for even
ing, dinner and formal day use.
Handsome cloth suits in light weights
are made with short trains. and so are
the standings and rajahs when strictly
tailored effect is not desired. There is no
lining, interlining or facing On the bot
tom of such skirts. No other finish but a
deep hem is correct. Consequently there
is no chance for the train to spread. 1t
simply must fall in. for there is nothing
to keep 1t out. not even ruffie.
Any trimming on the skirt comes at
least a foot above the lower edge, either
applied directly on the skirt or as fin
ish to a tunic or oyerskirt effect.
A favored fashion Is to tie the skirt
down by wide crushed ribbon (the shade

longer in the back. This is a graceful
length and will prove generally becoming.
AS many of the new house gowns are
made with deep hens and underskirt eff
fects in a solid color it is we'll to have
the skirts as long in the front as comfort
will allow in order to preserve the height
of the wearer, for nothing cuts the length
Of the figure more than horizontal lines
between belt and hem.
The fashion of holding down the train
in the back with long motif just above
the feet is awkward, but it is novel, and
so, suppose, women will want to try it.
Only slender types should attempt 1t. for,
given a certain twist. the woman Of aver
