OLD-STYLE PETTICOAT BACK
Garment More Satisfactory Returns

for Winter.
Since skirts have been so very nar

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

makers usually, is exhibiting many
gowns that are scarcely more than
elaborate skirts with a pretense of a
bodice at the front and in the back
there Is actually no more than a gir
dle. As the afternoon are
short in the sleeve and frequently
decollete, It is apparently necessary
to differentiate in one wey or ansther.
