Show Yoke Skirts Useful to Wardrobe; Easy to Make The yoke skirt is a useful addition to the summer wardrobe in fact, several sev-eral yoke skirts to go with various sweaters or overblouses may be made without much trouble or dilliculty, says a fashion writer in the Washington Washing-ton Star. Oue woman lias made several sev-eral in remnants of line suiting and homespun in light summer colors. The fine wool material is made in a slightly flaring, unplaited style long enough to extend upward to the hips-somewhat hips-somewhat higher than the lower edge of the sweater or overblouse. This lower skirt is then mounted on some substantial but lightweight silk. Moire to match or tone in with the woolen material is a good selection. The yeke is finish at the top with elastic. elas-tic. The advantage of the yoke top is that it makes the skirt lighter and less bulky at the top thus making possible the elastic top. While many women prefer slip tops that do away with the necessity for elastic at the waistline as a matter of coolness in summer, some women prefer pre-fer separate skirts and petticoats without with-out tops. For wear with light-colored sports frock you may choose crepe de chine or soft rayon in matching or lighter shade, and for wear with the tailored two-piece some women are actually choosing taffeta petticoats. Even though frock; and wraps be come fuller and fussier there is no chance, at least for some time to come, that undertliings will become perceptibly fuller or fussier. The ten dency with lingerie remains as it has been to provide a foundation that con forms as nr.ich as possible to the actual ac-tual outlines of the body and that fits closely enough to prevent bunching and wrinkling and provides fullness enough to prevent drawing and puck ering and not to interfere with perfectly per-fectly free motion. I In choosing any sort of undertliings one considers to begin with the personal per-sonal equation and after that chooses undertliings appropriate for Uie various vari-ous occasions when they are too worn.

Slips are usually worn only with light frocks needing a lining though little silk petticoats are sometimes worn with the tailored two-piece. Crepe de chine is the favorite for evening undertliings, un-dertliings, while for the woman who likes very light apparel, ninon and chiffon are often employed. Flesh, peach, pale orchid and while have been the favorite colors for undertliings under-tliings In France. |
