GINGHAM FOR PETTICOATS

Material Has Been Used Ordinarily as Matter of Economy, but Now It la Quite the Thing. The gingham petticoat has suddenly risen to a position of prominence. There have always been gingham petticoats, of course, but they have been worn usually as a matter of economy. Now, however, the gingham petticoat is quite the thing to wear, and it is made in the most attractive styles. Sometimes it is scalloped around the bottom, and perhaps trimmed with bandings or pipings of this in Its prettiest fashion. It is usually made in stripes, checks or plaids, although there are some of plain blue or pink gingham that are trimmed with bandings or pipings of plaid or stripes cut on the bias.
