In fact, tho rumors havo been turned to reality, for tho new barrel skirt has already been scon In Pnrls and Now York. Tho, bar-rol bar-rol skirt which produces this now silhouette, wide below th,o hips and narrrowlng down toward tho ankles, Is a strong contrast to tho straight-lino straight-lino frocks Inspired by tho medieval fashions.

Time only will tell, but In tho meantlmo wo need hardly havo our poaco of mind disturbed nbout It. |
