ishness I absolutely tabooed any odd
skirts or waists. And would you be

more quickly they begin to show signs
Of wear, anyhow, than the coats
times when the little wash morning

There you are There's no getting

this fuSsy notion OF hers the newest
skirts are considerably wider about
the bottom. They are by no means

Many of the skirts are trimmed with
wide folds OF the same material put on

blouse in one. Over the foundation Of
white china silk was laid a lowered
chiffon with a white ground over
which were scattered tiny nosegays in
soft shades of blue and green and rose
color. Over this again was chiffon |
