THE new separate skirts which
L make their appearance early ar
rived the latter part of December and
by the middle of January we were
quite familiar with them. They are
more Indispensable than ever To the
southern tourist, whose time is sup
posed TO be spent out of doors In the
pursuit of some sort of sport. Judging
from the color and rich appearance Of
some of these new skirts the most
popular resort sport is the wearing Of
good looking clothes.
The wooden skirts are mostly in
large plaids in which very soft and
quiet colors are s~killfully combined.
There are some smart black and white
combinations among them and some in
which black and white plaid stripes
alternate with soft colOrs in stripes.
These are made up with inverted
plaits, like the skirt shown mt the left
of the two pictured above. No colors
but the black and white appear, ex-
cept as the plaits are spread apart by
