THE NEW CIRCULAR SKIRTS

1IRCULAR skirts are appearing in
" quantities in fashion illustrations
A<now, but few of them have got
into the paper pattern catalogues. This
is because the spring pattern cata-
logues were printed before circular
skirts became a real promise Of the
summer. Lucky the woman who has
on hand an old founce pattern left
from several years ago when circular
flounces were the mode ard iuckier
still she who has an old circular skirt
pattern put away inN the sewing room
drawer. For circular skirts are circu-
lar skirts and are all cut much alike,
whatever the year OF their popularity;
and paper patterns now cost twice
what they used to.
II you see picture Of graceful
skirt with circular fiounces and cannot
find pattern to cut 1t by, experiment
with small pieces of cloth and tall

the ripple at either side, with straight
panel effect at back and front is very
graceful.
Taffeta is satisfactory in circular
fiounces and so is crepe de chine Of
substantial weight. But chiffon or
Georgette sag badly when cut this
way. Bingham frocks are being made
with circular flounces, and even circu-
lar skirts; but any tub fabric, cut in
Circular effect, is apt to pull and sag
after laundering. OF course, the
day has returned when we must set to
on skirts midway of their season of
wear. clipping away the sagged down
inches and hemrning or otherwise fin
ishing the edge over again. This was
regular process when circular skirts
were in fashion twenty years ago and
1t is not probable that circular skirts
will act any differently in their new
incarnation.

comes scarcely above the waistline and
is short enough to give perfect free
dom to active limbs. There are no
bones over the hips and the corset
throughout is extremely pliable and
supple. Another model is intended
for wear with formal costumes and
dancing frocks. It descends lower
over the hips but its trim lines are
produced with fabric and not steels.
A girl could dance for hours in this
corset and not feel the least constric-
ton anywhere, yet her figure would
have the dainty trimness demanded by
the youthful dance frock of the mo-
ment with its simple. fiat bodice.
Another picture shows the girlish
figure in seated position and the
suppleness and shapliness of the cor
set is very evident. There is no strain
or pull anywhere, the corset conforms
to the lines of the seated figure per-
fectly. This corset mas row of but
tons above the waistline and readjust-
ment Of the buttons makes the corset
right for any development of the fig
ure which may take place before the
corset wears out. Girlish figures some

does not say will" for girls grow out
of their foolishness som mes-affect
her finer characteristics and her ulti-
mate aim in life. The alteration for
''pretties'' and for the extreme of lux
ury is not good for sixteen. And any
thoughtful woman of older years will
see how much harm an unhampered
fancy for extrava gance-not only in
money but in styles-may do the
young, developing woman creature.
The f1apper's underwear should be
just as fine and beautiful as possible
the formation of her dainty taste de-
mands that-but it should not be too
gorgeously beautiful in style. Simple
undergarTnents, like simple frocks, are
best, but materials should be as ex-
quisite as the purse can afford.
In the catalogue of a smart and
authoritative Manhattan shop there
are pages of frocks, hats and wraps for
women, and pages of frocks, hats and
wraps for misses. But all the under
garments are listed together, "for
women and misses" This is significant
of the modern idea of allowing the
very young girl to have all the frills
and bowknots, the Iaces and the in
triguing styles affected by grown
women. Sizes "a for sweet sixteen,
and "A for advanced matronhood are
exactly alike in style and it is easy
to imagine what the fiapper. turned
loose among such an assortment of
"pretties" will select for herself.

considered too. The young spine must
be allowed to grow straight and
strong. The young muscles must be
allowed free play that the future
woman may fulfill every promise OF
strength and grace and beauty, and
not only acquire a perfect body but
that dignity, poise and self-possession
that can only come with perfect
bodily health and comfort.
Posture An Important Consideration
A great deal is being done for the
girl of this generation in the way of
proper exercises-not only outdoor
exercises Of tennis, canoeing, basket
ball and the like, but exercises That
make for grace and charm; exercises
in sitting, standing, walking and dane
ing. Especially the dancing that en-
courages expression - pantomimic
dances or rhythmic dances as they
are called. The young dancer learns
the physical attitudes and movements
that mean Joy. Courage, Hope, Dig
nifty, Self Restraint; impossible that
these exercises should not make her
better able to express IN ordinary life
and to feel more keenly-these
things whose expression makes her
mentally and bodily more beautiful.
How The Corset Helps Posture
Nobody admires a siouchy girl-a
young person who "slumps" when
she sits and is heavy and unalert when
she moves, and who looks sloppy"
in the most expensive frocks that can
be put on her.. A well poised girl in
a reaGy-made cotton frock is more
attractive than a listless. badly poised
girl in the costliest creation OF a Paris
atelier. The mother Of twenty years
ago constantly admonished her daugh-
ter to keep back her shoulders" to
"sit straight in her chair" mot to
loll" and so forth. The modern moth
er sees TO it that her fiapper has. every
opportunity and incentive to exercise
properly, puts her in the right sort Of
corset-and then lets her go ahead.
And the modern corset does not
pinch, press or bind anywhere 1t is
loose enough not to be felt when on,
yet 1t keeps the plant young figure
from "slumping" or "slouching" ard
acquiring bad lines. And it gives
foundation over which pretty frocks
and natty suits take the lines they
were intended to take by the design
ers. The limp, listless, semi-invalid
