GROWING POPULARITY OF BlFUR-
GATED GARMENT PREDICTS
ITS PERMANENcY.

New York. April 7.-If any one
thinks the harem skirt is going to
be laughed and ridiculed out of fash
ion much the same as the directoire
gown and sheath skirts we're, and as
the hobble is now being, that person
has another unusually large sized
think coming, according to many OF
the dress and health experts of New
York.
And should the harem remain,
dressmakers are agreed that common
sense will have scored the greatest
victory over mere fashion on record.
Not many can be found to rave over
the appearance of the bifurcated
skirt, although leading modistes say
that when the public once gets used
to it, it will appear as modish as
Worth gown. But that, 1t is comfort
able and--what is more important
hygenic, few will deny.
The Committee on Public Health Of

say of the latest Paris importation:
From the standpoint of hygiene
it is a capital innovation. In the first
place, the trouser-like division gives
perfect freedom of motion. But more
important, the. harem skirt will not

This means that the wearer will be
