Seen in the Shops

ITHE fad Of wearing separate skirts
has grown to immense proper
u .tions, following, as a matter or
course, the introduction of the
! separate long coat. and the heavy
ulster. All of the stores are showing
complete lines of skirts in tweeds.
broadcloths, corduroys, and fancy mix
| lures. 1t is pleasing to note that in the
majority of cases, although the infu-
ence of the draped skirt is very strong,
the skirt for practical purposes is made
comparatively plain with little touches
OF drapery suggested more than really
carried out to any extent. The broad
cloths lend themselves more readily
than the other materials to caught-up
folds and gathers. and are usually made
more completely, but the heavier mate
rials are necessarily less "fussyiIy"
made up.
For S2s5 skirts may be had at the
woman's store in f street in the 100
block, in the south side of the street.
The models at this price are corduroys
and tweeds. more expensive materials
being marked at S5.75 and up. Some are
made with buttons and buttonhoIes all
of the way down the front: others mere
ly have a diagonal arrangement of but
tons at one side, while still other styles
are split at the hem, either at the sides
or the 'front.' and caught up with but
tons.
Evening dresses and silk afternoon
gowns are selling at reduced prices at
this same shop. Small sizes of fine ouai-
lty serge street dresses may be had for
less than 81, and are made in original
and attractive styles.
The vogue for fancy skirts of all
kinds gives designers an opportunity to
Keep away from the staple styles which
have been so long in the market
and this will still further strengthen
the position Of separate skirts.
The tunic skirt, for example can he
treated in a great many ways. There is
the single, double and triple tunic. and
the side, box pleat and the modified
Minaret tunic. The tunc moreover
can be made of various lengths. II
can be shorter in front, longer in back.
and vice versa 1t can start from the
front panel or from the back. Then
too, instead OF the tunic itself. trim
mings can he so placed as to give the
same effect.
Tn" peg-top skirt also permits NJ
various forms of treatment. one oF
the newest is the caught-up-in-front'
enect, which gives tie appearance of a
'unic. Then there is the regulation
peG-top produced by the effect of a
couple OF tucks in the front and the
combination cf peg-top and tunic
styles for spring also include the
skirt with draperv in the back in
stead of in the front. the drapery
caught in at the sides, and other novel
ideas.

Housing Committee of Civic
Federation Plans Campaign
for City Beautiful.
By EDITH LOBERT.

Down with backyard fences
That will be the slogan of Washington
women next spring II present plans OF
the housing committee Of the woman's
department of the National Civic Fed
Grafton are carried out successfully.
The unsightIy high board fences which
mar so many OF the Capitals residence
sections will be the target for this move
ment. II Is allied with the housing prob
lem, the women contend, and they hope
to have community back yards" estab-
lished instead.
There is no reason why Washington
should have these high board fences,
extending over the city like veritable
honeycomb, even to some of our most
exclusive residence districts" said Mrs.
Ernest p. Bicknell, hcairman of the
housing committee, which will direct
the campaign.
Many Fences Are Rotting Away.
1T is our plan to have these torn
down, as far as possible, and have the
entire space converted into a stretch of
lawn. with flowers and vines. instead
Of whitewashed boards and rubbish bar
rels which we now find all too often.
Take a look down typical Wash
ington street, where the houses are built
solidly together. Most of them are built
flush with the street, or, at best, with
only a stoop or small entrance way.
In the back there is series OF
fences higher than a mans head, and
the general aspect Is that OF a row Of
pens. They afford a convenient recep-
tacle for rubbish and ashes, but even
If those enclosed spaces are kept thor
oughly sanitary. they still remain un-
slightly. In many instances they are
the only outdoor breathing spaces the
tenants of the apartments have, and for
that reason. II for no other, they should
be made as attractive as possible.
"Tehn there Is the question of expense.
Many of these old fences are rotting
away. and will soon need repairs. Why
wouldn't il be far more effective TO do
away with them entirely. and plant
grass seed in the lawns And, IL one
must have a boundary line. why not
plant a hedge or place posts in the
corners and train vines on wire net
ting?
Part of a Problem.
The women of the federation believe
that movement Of this sort will help
to make Washington a still more de
lightful city in which TO live. They be-
Iieve THAI these fences are a part of the
housing problems which they are ivy
ing to help solve. and that this is one
of the very first things that can be done
without cntailing any hardship upon
anyone
I'VE are earnestly seeking the in
uorscment OF other clubs and OrganzI-
lions, which have to do with the bet
terrent Of the city" concluded Mrs.
Bicknell, "and, above all we nope to Sc
cure the Endorsement and cooperation
of the public. We want to inspire in
every property owner or tenant of prop
erty which has a plot of ground with
e desire to make his surroundings as at
tract!ve as possible.
THE elimination OF the high board
fence is Washingtons first step now to-
ward a more beautiful city"
The committee hopes to have its plans
we'll outlined, so that spring will see a
wholesale pulling down OF the obnoxious
fences
