WALKING skirts.

Enter the tweed skirt that is short,
well fitted, pocketed and rain and dust
defying. 1t is a practical walking skirt
for mountain climbers, for "shirtwaist
girls" for city business women.
There are many styles to copy when
making it. The circular skirt is always
good If you are able ITO prevent sag
ging at the back seam. This can ~be
done by sewing a tape with the edges
the full length of the back seam.
The two-piece skirt with the seams
at the sides is very satisfactory.
Then there is the circular form. with
piecing at the center line of both back
and front.
A deep hem is stitched with eight or
ten hows of stitching; little pocket
with buttoned flap is added. and a
narrow stitched belt of the same ma
terial finishes the eminently practical
garment.
