One objection to short skirts.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia inquirer.
Woman's vanity is sufficient to overthrow
in some unexpected way the most hygienic
dress moves ever launched into the world
OF wardrobe foibles.
There is a contemplated shortening of the
walking skirt. Two of the sex interested
In the change were talking the rumor over.
Said one: "Oh. what relief 1t would
be to strike out for a good. brisk walk
and not have a whole lot of cumbersome
draperies Topping and dragging under foot.
I'm sure could get up walking craze In
no time under those circumstances"
Yes" was the hesitating reply. Skirts
to the ankle would be comfortable. but
well, you see my feet are so large that
70 dread putting them on exhibition that
way. I've fairly reveled In great roomy
English walking boots lately, but simply
could not cump along in a shoe of this
size IL my skirt was hitched one inch above
its present length"
If the comfort-giving abbreviated skirt
finds its way into the wardrobes of the
land this woman. weii as her other
sisters, win probably give 1t her sanction,
but at the same time she will squeeze her
feet into footgear of as Charlottesville pro-
portion as she can endure and hobble along
in the compiacent belief that she Is In
touch with clothing hygiene.
And so IL goes. Feminine vanity Is hy-
dra-headed. Make away with one OF its
errors and two spring up to replace the one
destroyed.
