REVIVAL OF SEPARATE SKIRT
Garment for Dressy Wear Promises to
Hold Favor According to FASH
ion Correspondent

The season is marked by the revival
Of the separate skirt for dressy wear.
Some novel forms Of drapery and loop
ed panels promise to play a prominent
part in the autumn skirts, observes a
prominent fashion writer. Lines Of
distinction characterize the models Of
recent importation, and the soft silks
and satlns lend themselves gracefully
to the voluminOus drapery.
The newest skirts are long enough
to cover the boot tops and quite wide
enough for comfort. The widths at
the bottom will vary from a yard and
a quarter to a yard and three-quarters,
with all widths between. SILK and
satin models are inclined to be a bit
wider.
One smart skirt interpreting the
autumn vogue was shown IN supple
black satin and pale gray crepe. II
was draped low about the hips, but
in great cascades at the sides. These
Grapes were turned inside out and
faced with the gray crepe. A wide
crushed girdle Of the material
wrapped itself snugly about the waist.
To complete this skirt, one wears a
lovely blouse Of pale gray geOrgette
embroidered with sparkling Jet beads.
For a pleasing change one might also
choose a bodice of black satin with
gray trimmings, to harmonic with the
skirt

HARVEY WATKINS RUNS FOR

Watkins, one of the really big col
ored men of Chicago, has decided to
give the Republicans of the second
ward an opportunity to be repre-
scented by him as their committee
man. Mr.O Watkins, so his friends
say, is in dead earnest.
l do not know what the bosses
may wish in this matter, but l do
know that If Harvey Watkins puts
into his race for this place the same
zeal and energy he puts into his bust
ness and the same ability he displays
in the support of political friends he
will run first under the wire.
His platform is: Il want no Office;
want simply to do the greatest
good to the people who honor me. I
am a business man and my word is
my bond"
The people will hesitate long time
before losing this opportunity to
honor a real man who is not a moss

THAT NEW SUIT FOR WINTER
Advantages and Disadvantages IN
Having q Ready-Made or Made
to Order.

There are possible advantages In
going to a tailor and having your suit
made to order and just as many pos
slble advantages in buying it ready
made. With the ready-made suit
there is always this:
You can see the finished garment
There Is never the possibility that you
won't like Il after it is finished, for
Il is finished 10 begin with. Moreover
II you are a person whose time Is
precious, the ready-made suit has adj
vantages In that way. Even II II needs
rather elaborate alterations you win
need far less fitting than II you are
having il made entirely to order. And
Of course. the ready-made suit, II you
buy good one from a smart shop,
has probably been made according TO
the design Of a very skilled and highly
paid person, whereas your tailor may
or may not have the eye of a real de-
Signcr and he may or may not follow
skillfully the lines Of the design you
select for him. However, II you are
blessed with a good figure the tailor
will reveal the fact rs the ready-made
suit cannot possibly do, even II 1t Is
altered, for it is necessary to make
ready-madCs according to designs
that do not rs a rule play up the fig
ure. They must be built for the aver
age figure and built according to lines
that require the least possible fitting
If you do go to the tailor bear
this In mind: That for this winter
suits made of heavy mems suit fabrics
are going to be extremely smart. Sc
lect such a fabric that shows a decided
strlpe-One that would probably not
be the one you would choose for your
husband or son, because the stripes
should be quite far apart and quite
noticeable. A sulting Of dark slate
gray with a lighter gray stripe Is q
splendid selection. Now have the
bodice pieces OF the pattern cut
lengthwise of the stripe with a tunic
on the jacket cut the other way OF
the material. Or in some such way as
this make use Of the stripping to give
the suit its only trimming.
