Petticoats are actually in fashion
again.
For several years the petticoat mas
been a symbol of ones allegiance to ira
dition. ones idea that the unfashiona Die
is always more modest. more commend
able than the fashion. BY the same
process of reasoning that worked out
this conclusion, one conservative type of
woman would naturally object to the re-
Vived petticoat. In her eyes the unfash-
ionable would still appear commenda Bile.
Just as she is the last to wear the new
high collar and the new full skirt, So
Mould il seem that she would be the last
to resume the petticoat. as she was tne
last to discard it,
Blu. petticoats, ii seems. are not like
StSer whims OF fashion. Everybody
wears them now. The women who "a
mented their disappearance have really
been the first to welcome them back to
fashion.
OF course. the petticoat of this spring
is fuller than any petticoat that We have
worn for a long time. Sometimes II Is
made of taffeta. with ruffle of fine
pleats. and sometimes it is made of mes
saline. Sometimes. too. it Is made of the
same woven silk fabric that has been
used in the short. scant excuses for pit
ticoats that have been worn with the
narrow skirt occasionally. This soft
