Georgette Skirts
InMOst ViVidHues
White Always in Vogue, and Elaborate
Tucks or Hemstitching Make Them
Most Dressy-Worn With Blouses

satin material with n thick dot or
triangle or lozenge or circles inter-
loopcd and heavily brocaded against
the satin background.
White China silk lends Itself well 70
this type of skirt. as do most Of the
soft and supple silks and satins, but
taffeta seem entirely out of the run.
ming, though many of the smarter ono
piece frocks will appear later made IN
in this silk. Now and then one finds
black taffeta skirt. but for tho
pretty, dressier things for gay mo.
ments and real summer beauty 1t Is
the whites and pale flesh tones in the
charming satins and brocadcs, such as
have noted above. On the new skirts
pockets IRE left off. though two
seasons ago they seemed to be a dis
tinguishing feature.
Top Coats Enchanting.
Worn with these skirts are per-
fectly enchanting top coats In the
gayest colors, as, for example, one in
the finest silk whipcord Of scarlet with
n white satin lining. It's charm Of cut
and line made 1t thing Of rare
beauty. Another coat Of equal beauty
is in italian green taffeta unllned
and reproducing that bright shade OF
green from the italian flag which
gives 1t It's name. or course the other
is called British red, for though the
British officers discarded their beauti-
| full coats long ago. tho color still lives
and CLOVIS a perpetual reminder Of
their aides
The wolfe skirt is also a popular
fancy. for wolfe has one charm no
other fabric offers, II always launders
perfectly. does not rumple and does
not chicken" with repeated washing
OF course these wolfe skirts appear in
all colors and are made after the
fashion of all the others with tn
tucks and deep hem and wide belt
1t is to be noted that the skirts o.
these thinner and more supple ma
terials seem to have taken the place
practically entirely of the white serges
almost Indispensable heretofore. There
was a time when no summer wardrobe
was complete without its white skirt OF
serge. Of broadcloth or some woolle1
material, but the war naturalf
changed all OF that, and these hand
some brocaded satins and the satins ~
heaviest texture have done away with
the others.
As to the more practical skirts FOR
every day wear in summer time ono
; does not see 30 many Of them for the
reason that the one piece dress has so
largely supplanted the once fashion
able shirtwaist and skirt. However, a
pleasing fashion is that Of making W
: skirts In the bright hued plain per
Gales, Chambrays and handkerchief
linen. Organdie also is one of the de
sired fabrics, though, because Of rs
, tendency TO rumple and crush, It really
cannot be classified with everyday ma
terials. Such splendid tlouncings O.
organdie, though, are brought out and
a skirt, yes. even a whole dress is Sc
\ quickly fashioned out of them thai

To return moment TO the every da!
I, skirts. The bright hued plain matevia,
are preferred to all others, and lavende
and the higher British red lead Fl
favor. The greatest simplicity il PEI
mitted In the making of these colore
skirts. as they follow the straight lin,
described in all the others.
Shantung. pongee and other rOug'
surfaces are to lie also much used, art
because OF their durability, quality ar
lightness are excellent for surnmc
wear.
