Wrapped Skirt
Is DISTINGUISHED

There is no doubt that struggle for su-
premacy will come between the two fashions
The wrapped skirt will not be content to be
limited to evening usage; it wants to appear
on the street in modified measure. in cloth
costumes.
Already one hears it said that the coffee
bag skirt will not last through the summer
1t is not an admirable model for thin mate
rials such as pongee, extra fine serge and the
new worsted that is expensive but ultra-fash-
ionable-a kind of worsted that was invented
in France and has the appearance OF coarse
meshed thin Angora.
The pleated skirt is substitute for this
coffee-bag skirt, but unless it is done by
machinery it is not acceptable, and women are
not altogether enthusiasticeover the contnu-
ance Of straight pleating. They are willing to
accept it as an unSerskirt, fashioned after
the Alexandrian manner, to serve as a mere
foundation to a tunic of brilliant lines, but
they do not want to use it for whole skirt.
Therefore, the chances are that the wrapped
or draped skirt will have its own way and
creep into the clothes that are worn at 10
O'Clock IN the morning, as we'll as dominating
those that are worn at night.
There is more distinction about the wrapped
skirt than the straight one, but it is quite pos
sible to make a happy combination of the
two.
AS we have habit Of going to the museums
and back to the classics for our clothes these
days, it might be we'll for a student Of fashions
to observe with care the wrappings and pleat-
lngs of the gowns worn by the Egyptians and
all the historic Eastern country, which has
been again placed on the map through the
medium of war flags and marching regiments.
There is something quite difficult about the
convolutions of the ancient skirts, and it is
not possible for an amateur to copy them.
They need the hand Of an artist and skilled
draper to manage the wrappings and pleat-
ings that outline, without confining, the body.
But as it is task for good dressmakers,
and as successful achievement commands
good price, there is certainty that we shall
have many gowns that are swirled around the
figure after the manner that the historians of
dress find spreading through all the primitive
countries.

The Lines of the Cos

a WOMAN should give more than pass
~ ing interest to the changing lines of
the spring skirt. It does not change
from day to day, but from morning to after
noon to evening.
One can sum up the whole situation by say
ing that woman begins straight in the morn
ing and is on the bias in the evening" When
she appears the street at 10 a. m. her skirt
must be as straight as her path of life There
must not be deviation in the way of a flare,
a ripple or ruffle. The skirt may 20 in bit
at the ankles, but that is not required by
fashion. 1t must look like straight bag
dropped from the waistline.
In the afternoon the skirt begins to waver
from the straight line. 1t takes unto itself
tunic, which is attached to it or begins at the
waistline. This tunic has ripple and flare,
but its slenderness is achieved through it's
fexibity. The material is soft, ard therefore
the skirt swings to and from the figure with
a good measure of grace.
In the evening the skirt drops all preten-
tions to straight lines. 1t becomes more slen-
der than ever through widths of material
wrapped around the figure, after the manner
of the ancient Egyptians. The cloth may 90
to line above the knees in it's wrapping and
leave narrow pleated rufne that rests over
the ankles and heels, or the wrapping may
begin below the bust and continue to the ankle
with a loose end, or two or three of them,
left floating on the floor to serve as trains.

organdy runs around the edge of the brim like
