OLD-STYLE PETTICOAT BACK Garment More Satisfactory Returns With Wider and Fuller Skirts for Winter. Since skirts have been so very nar row petticoats have received much at. tention. Naturally, with these ex. traordinarily narrow skirts it was found that the petticoat came in evi. dence whenever the wearer sat down: it did not seem to matter how short it was, At once a new skirt was brought out, a mere sheath of satin in silk, fastening onto an elastic band and snapping into place In front rath er than in the back as heretofore. This skirt was left untrimmed except by a deep hem put in with machine hemstitching. It was made of silk ior satin and could be bought in al | most every color. The fashionable draped skirts which are made on the wearer by wrapping the material around the figure and then sewing it together necessitated the creation of the sor: of underneath skirt described. Fortunately the skirts of winter are slightly wider and fuller, and we can at least wear regulation | petticonts again.
