Many Of these new skirts which an
pear wider at the bottom are made
with yoke or yoke effect with a
long and pleated tunic, the underskfrt
having a circular or pleated flounce.
A wide sash is often worn with these
skirts Of silk or OF the same fabric
If it IS soft enough It is placed high
in front and is tied in the back with

armhole droops very low on the Shout

bishop sleeve OF organdy is attached.
The circular redingote tunes are the
latest thing in the long tunics. They
are open in front, or buttoned- and
sometimes show the underskirt.
Among the new materials which will
