''Never before In the history of
dress has the length of the skirt been
matter of such Importance as it is
this autumn" writes Grace Marga
ret Gould, the Fashion Editor In the
October Fashion Number of the
Woman's Home Companion. at is
on the skirt length question that the
American woman and the French
woman have such entirely different
views. The short skirt for comfort is
what the average American woman
likes, while the French woman favors
the long trailing skirt with its grace
fuI lines.
Here in America this year there
will be two different types of skirts
In fashionable favor. One is the walk.

or than 1t has ever been before. IL
viii vary in length according to tn,
individual preference of the wearer
some walking skirts escaping the
ground by but two inches, others be.
ing as short as five inches. 1t is need.
less to say, however, that the short
skirt will be worn exclusively for
walking. The most fashionable cos
tunes for all other occasions will have
the very long skirt-the skirt which
not only touches the ground, but rests
upon it, having a decided sweep at
the back. ="
