Skirts will undoubtedly be fuller. but
only comparatively so. and there is a
rumor that in foulards and summer
silks favorite model will be that Of a

yoke of gathered chiffon made over a
fitted lining of the silk. A frill of the
thin material hides the joining of the
sections.
Yes, the peasant bodice is to remain,
for never was there a waist effect that
gave more general all round satisfac-
tion. It affords graceful shoulder lines
for slim and stout figures. But the new
peasant sleeve is to be made more
comfortable by the insertion of a small
gusset under the arm which does not
alter it's appearance but lengthens the
life of the garment. for with the old
sleeves there was always a strain on
the material when the arm was raised
