taken the place of the uncompromis-

Not so long ago, the daytime skirt
was pencil slim, all the attention being
directed to the upper part of the gar

either by pleats, or shirring. or godets
to make the skirt an important part of
the silhouette.
A shirred section appears in both
back and front of this dress, the rest
of the skirt being straight, fitting
smoothly over the hips. This par
ticular type of skirt is not so good, if
you have the contours Of tub; godets
or pleats are better for the, shall we
say, rounded" figure. But if you are
slim, nothing could be more fattering
than this type.
The collar is fascinating. Broad
and round, and rippling, it tilts back
under your chin to look for all the
world like a butterfly perched there
A tiny bit of shirring makes the
blouse soft in front, and the cuffs on
