The ultra modish walking skirt today Just clears the ground all around, Is gored or circular and has some flat tunic fold trimming or, still better, some arrangement of buttons and loops down each side of a center front panel or a center front seam. The front panel Is a natural accompani ment of the popular seml-prlncess or princess frock, and In striped materials, It is very often formed of bias lengths so set together that the stripes will form a chevron design. Plain front panels trimmed In buttons and loops down each edge are popular, and soutache embroidery Is much used to adorn the front panel of the dressier street costume. The plaited skirt has not entirely retired from the field. Even the most fashionable tailors and dressmakers are still making plain plaited skirts and fashionable women are still wearing them, but they are not so new as the gored and circular modal and the latter more certainly stamp tha new tailor frock as of this year's vintage.
