skirt that rip
 pies prettily and becomingly is among the newest, Here it is shown in combination with q dainty blouse and the skirt is of a silk and wool ma terial while the blouse Is of crepe de chine with lace. The blouse with the semi kimono sleeves, that is, sleeves that are joined to it at the dropping shoulder line while they are fitted under the arms, is always a becoming one and much liked and the little cape effect given by the simple arrangement of lace houncing Is exceed ingly smart. When one remembers that the circular skirt consists of only one piece and requires only back edges to be closed or fins ished, the making seems a simple matter while the cut of the blouse does away with all troublesome fitting SO that, besides being dainty and smart, the costume is to be commended from the stand- point of simplicity. The skirt will be found a handsome one for suits and for gowns and in- deed for all uses for it is one of the few m o d e l s that is equally handsome for cloth, for velvet and for other heavy materials and for the lighter ones. 1 For the medium size, the blouse will require 3 yds. of material 27, 2A yds. 36, 2 yds.
