With long coats so fashionable this
season, the separate waist and skirt
will find q yet larger field of useful

provided some unusually chic styles in
both garments. Separate skirts, of
course, follow the general lines preva-

same width and much the same cut
plain gored models, and models with
pleats let in at the sides from the
knee down. There are also a few
skirts with hens slashed, to show the
foot and ankle. This is. however, an
extreme style, and a more popular ar
rangement is the simulated slash,
with a contrasting piece of fabric in
troduced in a triangular fold beneath
the slashed hem.
The raised waist line continues pop

the taste of the wearer. Many skirts,
however, are contrived in the regular

worn with fancy belt, or a belt OF
