Distended Petticoats.

It Is not always convenient to bone summer frocks so that they flare in proper fashion; therefore the next best thing to do is to provide underskirts or petticoats that can be boned and that will act as supports for the flimsy lop skirts. There are various kinds of boned petticoats to be had. One pretty model Is of white satin. It has a panel front and circular sides in which there are seven tiny bonings encircling the sides and back. Another attractive model is made with p yoke top and from the hip line down four rows of boning are used to distend the full skirt. Between the bones the material is puffed. When the petticoats are made of flowered or striped silks they show up very effectively beneath the sheer cotton, orgrandie and net frocks.
