The separate skirt steadily gains
favor with American women because
it is in line for advancement. 1t fits
in with a new order of things in APP
parel, and that is. the demand for
smart, dressy clothes that remain in
formal even though they are made of
rich or dainty fabrics. But American
women show very decided preferences
in the styles they choose; their taste
runs toward plain skirts of heavy silk
fiber materials and skirts of georg-
cite or organdie with wide hens and
tucks. The trend is away from fussi-
ness, but little clever originalities, in
details of finishing and making, are
all the more appreciated because of
this. Paris has presented for fall,
somewhat elaborate models of striped
and plaid velvet and other materials
and possibly, with the coming of cold
weather, we may take up with these.
Here is a skirt for present wear of
heavy white crepe meteor. 1t has the
fashionable length and wide hem, the
latter serving to weight the supple
crepe so that it hangs beautifully.

slit pockets that slip into the skirt at
