l. mand for the smart sepa.
rate skirt. and wide variety in
models and materials are offered
for midsummer wear.
The new wrap.around model is
popular and any one can make a
skirt OF this kind in a few hours,
or you can purchase them ready
to wear in the shops.
A clever skirt OF white flannel,
crossbarred in black stripes, ac-
companies black sweater. The
skirt, is fringed and wrapped
around the figure, tapping on the
left side, with a fold. Three large
pearl buttons close the fold and
the top is finished with a boned
skirt band.
The ratine sport skirts promise
to, lead in popularity for real
sports occasions. Plaids In beauti-
fut colorings, stripes and crossbars
are all shown. and then there are
exquisite shades in solid colors,
too.
Basket weave Ia swagger when
II comes to sport skirts, and the
creamy white makes an unusually
attractive skirt. This material also
frtnges easily, or one may button
II with buttons and buttonholes at
the left side or back.
The step-in skirts are very sim.
pie. A wide width of material is
folded in two and shaped a little.
The bottom is turned to a deep
straight hem. the top is finished
with a casing and elastic about an
inch wide. One steps In this skirt
and pulls II UP TO the waistbani
and II requires no opening, placket
or hooks.
Fascinating sport silks come in
white, and In delicate pastel
shades and satin, crepe weaves
and brocaded sport silks are Just a
few OF a wide variety.
For hiking, golf and rough and
ready wear, there are summer
tweed skirts that are practical and
do not soil readily. These are
either fringed or wrapped around
and buttoned TO the figure.
