distinct J Some women have a way of making brilliant adventures into fashlondom appearing now and again In a gown coal or hat Is actually overpowering In Us chlcness and then relapsing again into the ordinary It is exactly this sort of spasmodic splurging style which those high in the courts of fashIon fash-Ion wish to avoid Their prime object in dress Is to look smart complete and steady up to date but not strained fashionable but not stunning It Is in the details of dress that their titles clear are read and perhaps I the most important of all these little I things Is the silk skirt or petticoat The silk petticoat Is again the correct cor-rect thing for most costumes the lingerie lin-gerie and lace affairs of warm weather while for all occasions where a step or two upon the street Is necessary the silk unTier skirt Is the correct form 1 It docs not follow however thnt these silk skirts arc not of perishable colors and Intones so light as to become almost al-most ruined by one or two wearlngs The crIspness of the silk petticoat with Its wide flaring ruflle at the bo tom endears it to the hearts of women who appreciate a well hanging skirt and reconciles It to the frugal minded who long to continue with their washable wash-able cotton skirts during cold weather The smartest skirt for wear with street dresses and the most useful as ice J i EXQUISITE EVENING CREATION 4

plaid silk combined with plain colors of a blending hue While plaids are scarcely worn on gowns they are considered the smartest thing In underskirts Black and white plaid skirls combined com-bined with solid black l are the most popular and general of all styles In skirts they boast the advantage of making an effective appearance with any colored dress skirt and arc altogether al-together satisfactory and chic The methods of combining the solid black with the black and white plaid are quite varied One of the prettiest of these skirts which were seen this season sea-son was of a black and white tartan taffeta The white ground of the silk was checked off In large squares the stripes of black which formed in the crisscross were in Imitation of two black silk ribbons which gave the appearance ap-pearance of being stitched to the white silk The skirt was cut with five gores and fitted snugly to the figure with only a slight fullness In the back the waistbandbeing nicked or cut directly In the front to lit under the corsethoolc and thereby give the flatness and long walsted look in the front which I y now the aim of her Fashionships existence A few Inches below the knee a very full gored flounce was joined to the upper skirt the scam where tho floUnce was put oh being covered by a quilling of black satin ribbon The lower low-er part of the I flounce wasof black laf feta trimmed at tho very bottom with a tiny pleating of the same above which was a quilting of the black satin ribbon Thc way In which the black taffeta was joined to thoJlounce way quite interesting In-teresting and unique The upper line whcib the black joined the plaid was In squares which exactly lilted Into the squares described on the white ground by the black stripes Black satin ribbons of the same width as the stripe were stitched In squares over the black carrying out the design of the plaid upon the solid black and making mak-ing an effccthe trimming to the bottom of the skirt These fancy plecings of solid colors to the bottom of the plaid skirls arc the most popular form oft of-t and some intricate effects < < are given Zigzag points squares scallops or other patterns In which the Bilks ure Joined ate especially effective when thc flounces are Muted or pleated Fluting the deep flounce at the bottom bot-tom of the petticoat is a new Idea l which has only Just been presented this year Tho fluting runs In waved lines and Is very pretty and novel but the regular knife and accordion pleat ings seem to ho equally popular Sometimes Some-times a plain colored skirt will hate striped material stitched at the bottom bot-tom of the flounce which Is then fluted l or pleated Tho effect of this mode of decoration Is very smart Some wise and economical women refuse to have their skirts wIth fluted or pleated ruffles for the reason that the whisk broom cannot properly attend at-tend to Its function and remove the dust from the close folds and deptes Slons of the silk also that the silk Is apt to split and break when pleated or fluted These objections are reasonable and Fashion accedes to them BO far as to furnish equally stylish skirts with gathered gored ruffles from the knee One of these skirts waa of Talc blue the wide full ruffle from the knee being trimmed with bands of blue and white plaid taffeta used as insertions and I bordered wllh a line of black chenille cord The bottom of the skirt was trimmed with a pinked ruffle and narrow nar-row qulltings with pinked edges Pinking by the by is another marked feature of this seasons skirls Its return to fashion is heartily welcomed wel-comed One of the newest Bilk skirts on exhibition this season Is of salmon pink taffeta the deep flounce covered with a series of narow pinked frllU which overlapped each other In long pelalshaped points Another skirt trimmed In the same silk with plaited quillings as the decorative motive had the whole flounce covered In a scroll design of large vermicelli pattern i the narrow pinked ruchlngs atimdlnj out front the plain background upon which they were sowed effectively The popularity of lace edges and Insertions as trimming for silk skirts is t t rather waning and giving way to fancy ribbons narrow silk ruches and chenille cord I Embroidered effects in varlcolorcd designs are considered the latest and I most elegant notions and appliques of silk on net grounds arc also popular I as trimmings for dressy skirts For the wear and tear of street and I steady walking nothing replaces the I light dustshedding mohair skirt and In these the finest black mohair finds great favor Tucklngs pleatlngs and i 1 I occasionally ribbon bands form the only trimmings for these utility skirls One of the bright features of these mohair skirts Is that they are soft and do not ruthlessly cut tho silk dress linings as the crisp taffeta petticoat does while they arc only a trifle leas I glossy and lustrous than silk skirts I who had been In the household of Princess
