Show Overskirts. Overskirts have come, and have come to stay. Some will fight against them. Some dressmakers will work with might and main to modify and disguise them, but they are here in all their hideous-ness, hideous-ness, and until a revolution comes they will simply continue to grow in f ize and in what some of the poorer seamstresses call "the dape." Wash goods are to be made up with ruffles and trimmings galore, ga-lore, and many of the new ginghams are woven expressly for the purpose of trimmed overskirts. In one respect these goods are very nice. They come made in 6uch a way that a woman who is not an experienced dressmaker can easily finish them, and as it is well known that the skilled dressmaker charges as much (m fact, more in proportion) to make these wash gowns as she does those of cloth or silk there is much rejoicing among women who have a limited allowance allow-ance for dress.
