CHARM OF FLOUNCED SKIRTS

Fluffy Appearance Is Very Becoming to Some of the Females of the Species. The flounced skirts are charming in thin black, whether two, three or five tiered or composed of many rows of little ruffles. A rival of these models is the petal pointed skirt which, at first plain edged, now often has its points outlined with a narrow frill, sometimes plaited, sometimes gathered. A charming version of this idea was seen a few days since. At first sight it seemed to be composed of haphazard points and frills, but there was really a definite plan in the arrangement. There were three tulle skirts, one over the other, cut into different shapes, the two top ones edged with ruffles. Their placing is very clever, and the dainty widening at the hips was insured by a bit of haircloth —orin braid it is now called -—which was placed under the tulle.
