For Hard-Wear Skirts.

When making a serge skirt that is to have hard wear, try the effect of lining the front breadth. Lined skirts are seldom seen nowadays and would be much too heavy for summer; but one that has no lining Is very apt to wrinkle across the front, especially if it fits well over the hips. When cutting the front breadth, cut with it a piece of silk, sateen or some very thin lining and proceed to make up the skirt in the usual way. You will be surprised to see how much longer your skirt lasts, and how much nicer it looks to the very end. If It is lined in this way.
