ATTRACTIVE SEPARATE
SKIRTS FOR SPRING

CINCE combination suits, consisting of
- two materials, will be much worn for
spring, a great variety of styles in sepa-
rate skirts are being shown. There are
both draped and pleated skirts i'm large
quantities. The more practical skirts
have only a slight drapery, which comes
we'll below the knees. thereby preserving
the fiat hip appearance. A few draped
skirts with the new oriental draperies
caught up in the front are seen, but they
are rather extreme.
There are many types of new pleatel
skirts, including cluster pleats, most OF
which are stitched or caught together by
tape, SO as to preserve the narrow ap-
pearance and still give the desired width
to make them practicable for walking. A
few gored skirts are seen, but in the ma
jority of cases a few pleats are intro
duced.
Buttons with simulated buttonholes or
loops are the favored trimmings on sepa-
rate skirts, the idea being to carry out
the tailormade effect.
The materials used are Serges, whip
cords. mixtures, checks and ratine weaves,
the latter in plain colors in two-toned eff
fects, stripes and brocades. Among the
silk skirts are charmeuse, crepe meteor.
crepe de chine and the new brocaded
fables.
Wash skirts are in the corded materials.
such as piques. cordelines. reps. etc, and
in linens OF the ramie weaves and wash
