Just Above the Ankles. From Frances E. Willard.

We must, as women of common sense agree to stand by each other in wear ing street skirts that do not fall below the ankles. To do less is uncleanly and costs us the respect of every thinking person who sees us shuffling along on our street hopping expeditions. Let us insist on this reform for simply de- cency's sake, to say nothing of health or wholesomeness. This is the first step, this the hours demand; all else that health, modesty and good taste in- dicate will follow.
