SKIRTS SURE TO BE WIDER

Change Is Being Made Gradually But It Is Noticeable in All the Newest Models. The most noticeable feature of the ever-changing fashions is the gradual widening of skirts. There are suits made with full circular skirts set on a dpep Joke. Other styles are in tiered designs, with three circular.

flounces. Some plain suits with long coats have plaited panels .introduced to give fullness. A few skirts are gathered and set on deep yokes. Many dressy afternoon" gowns have a flounced or plaited skirt. On the newest models, even when the extremely long tunic is employed, the underskirt Is sufficiently wide to give ease in walking. In evening gowns the skirt fullness is quite marked, the aide sections being rippled sufficiently to allow of a broader train than has been seen for several seasons. The skirts of all garments are extremely short, except in the case of a few evening gowns, which have the skirt very short in front only, with a gradual tapering off to a point in the back, where the skirt is long enough to touch the floor.
