length Of the limb. The inner seam is
invariably eleven inches shorter than the
outer, so we get the correct measure
ment of n lady's neither limbs while she
has all her skirts on. The hips Of wo
men are, of course, propOrtiOnately wider

regular measurements based on calculG-
lions. There IS not the slightest ohjec-
tiOnable feature about n mans getting
the proper dimensions for womens trous-
ers. If they are made unusually tight
the customers secure the measurements
themselves. But this rarely occurs as
