The Separate
Skirt
By Rita Stuyvesant.

THIS season, fashion Is featur-
ing such lovely blouses that
the separate skirt has gained q
popularity quite unknown for
the past few years. For wear under
the heavy top coat there are some
really stunning blouses and skirts
with a distinction quite their own
The skirts especially are unusually
smart and conservation has decresd
the slim narrow silhouette Flare
skirts from past seasons can easily
be remodeled, thus adding economy
to style.
Two niece models are well-liked and
md simple to make. Only two am
fiye-eighths yards of material are re-
ouired. Navy blue serge, whip cord.
check or broadcloth are all suitable
for a skirt for every day wear. Made
with a little shirring at the waist line.
a simple skirt might be Iinished With
a broad belt Of self material. Oddly
shaped pockets, draped and pointed
at the bottom. would lend a distinc-
tive touch to an otherwise ordinary
skirt
Buttons are being featured eaten
sively this season One skirt was
completely "buttoned," being finished
in the back with buttons and button
holes from belt to hem Slit trouser
pockets we're also outlined with but
tons OF a smaller size and the belt
fastened with buttons. Real man.
nish buttons OF black bone are the
accepted style.
Braid is binding many skirts .his
season. One model in black velvst,
though very simple. is lifted above
the commonplace by rows and rows
Of black silk soutache braid. This
skirt was a three piece pattern. open
ing in the center back. 1t was shir-
red slightly into a crushed girdle OF
satin. The black silk braid was ap-
piled in rows about an inch apart
and extended from the hem to several
tremely smart
Another separate skirt for dress
wear was lately seen in navy blue
tricoIette. II was a draped model,
featuring the "one-sided draping"
The left side fell in soft cascades
to the knees. while the opposite
side was quite plain. A broad
girdIe of the tricolette was drawn
about the waist and tied in the
back. Blue silk fringe finished
the sash ends.
Plum-colored charmeuse was
used to cut another beautiful skirt.
A tunico pointed in the center front
and sloped up in the back was
hung over a narrow foundation.
The edge Of the tunic was turned
back for a hem and finished with
a tiny pleated frill. A smart sir
die with a bow tied in the back
completed this exclusive skirt.
II you are tired OF the one
piece frock. or II you find a bright
blouse more becoming near the
face, remember that designers
have been especially considerate
this season in the matter OF the
separate skirt. There are suitable
models for every period OF the day.
