Out-of-Date Skirts Useful.

There is a good use for skirts that are no longer fashionable, for street wear—they may be worn on stormy days under a raincoat or used for house wear with tubbable waists. A bygone fashion is not recognized in the home. Many a dainty woman owes her charm at home to the frocks upon which fashion has frowned, but which proved to be particularly becoming to the last. Economy has banished the house gown and substituted the second best wearing apparel which has unqualified masculine approval for its nattiness.
