spring will almost all of them be made

mands that women use more silk and
when climate conspires with patriotism
the task will not be difficult. The new
skirts are In themselves SO attractive that
every woman must desire them. They

there is never anything skinny looking
about them. OF course, there is much
drapery or pleated fullness about the
hips in some Of them. In others the hips
are we'll defined and such fullness as
there is is secured by clever pleates ard
sometimes by shirring or the use Of hiT
yokes. All sort of silks are used in the
making of these skir,s. There are some
striped taffetas-the stripe of satin-that
are especially attractive. They are ma dt
in a heavy quality and not only always
Hook crisp and fresh, but will give goot
wear.
