Tub Petticoats With Colored Rirffies Are to Be the Correct Things for the Summer Garments.

Six yards is the correct width for a summer petticoat this season and one cannot help pitying the poor laundress who has had a long and blessed rest from starching and fluting crisp petticoat frills. Some petticoats to be sure own to but three yards, but these are the most inexpensive and humble models. As the price advances the width advances, and the number of frills also. Four ruffles of embroidery, overlapping from knee to hem, is a pretty trimming; especially when the embroidery is the fine scallop-and-dot kind always in good taste. A new petticoat which is already very popular has four ruffles of fine lawn edged with narrow handkerchief hems in some pretty color*>and the ruffles are stitched to the petticoat with colored threads to match. With pink or blub

edged frills and stitching, these new tub petticoats are really enchanting.
