The popular version of the barrel skirt
for the evening IL strikingly like the
skirt worn q decade ago.

NEW YORK-The illustrator who

first barrel skirts that arrived in this
country a month ago as heralds of the
new silhouette, had flash of memory
which made her look back over the
old drawings OF decade ago, where
she saw almost the identical model

price or the pattern by which it should
be cut 1t has been bought among the
ready -to-wear costumes at the depart
ment shops, and it was featured by the
high class drcSsmakers along the smart
thoroughfarcs.
II you remember that skirt, you
have a clear idea of what the Ameri-
can designers have picked out of the
Paris output to exploit in this country.
Deep, Narrow Hem.
The striking feature of the barrel
skirt is the hem Get this right and
Tie rest comes easy. II must be deep
and it must be narrow, and the upper
edge must be wider than the lower
edge, II 1t is to BE- entirely correct, al
though many designers differ on this
point The upper part OF the skirt may
be of any material; tulle, satin, melon
shaped cores of cloth, bands of bullion

Smith, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Richard Smith of 1927 Stratford avenue. and MT, Peter Hawkins of Fairfield were married. Rev. Thomas P: Mulcahy performed the ceremony and sang the nuptia1 mass. Miss Mary Smith at tended her sister as bridesmaid and MT. Frank Horn was best man. The bride was handsomely attired in gown of white crepe meteor and prin- cess lace, her bouquet was of Killarney roses arranged in shower effect, and the veil of white tul1e fell from a cap of Duchess lace. The bridesmaids s gown was of blue satin and she wore a large white picture hat. Her beu- quet was of pink and white sweet peas. After an elaborate wedding breakfast at the home of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. Hawkins left for Washington, D. C., and other points of interest. After May 80 they will be at home to their friends in their new home in Florence avenue.
