There are but few among the new
skirt models that do not show the
bouffant hip. 1t is brought about in
several ways by the tunic, peg-top
drapery or the pannier as shown in
1868. In this instance soft satin is
used with trimming bands arranged to
hold the drapery in place. Another
feature which makes this skirt dis
tinctive is the boxplaited lower sec
ton. A plain yoke may be substituted
for the draped hip If preferred with
equally smart results.

Americas, in spite of the fact that she
pays three-fourths of the entire coun-

Americas does not ask that the
county gang work the streets of Amer

passed by the state legislature pro-
vides that three months of every year
be spent working the streets of the
city. 1t further provides that during

preference for pure English.
