Jersey Cloth Again

We all lamented the coming of full pet
ticoats for one thing; the jersey silk pet
ticoats wore so well that they were a de-
light, but they were hardly stiff enough
TO give the fulness required by present
fashions.
There are signs OF a strong fashion for
Jersey silk cloth next spring, and for its
durability If for nothing else We ought to-
be glad to welcome IT, Those OF US who
had Jersey silk sport blouses last summer
know just how well they wore.
