BAGGING AT THE KNEE
Mems Trousers Not the Only Gar
ment's Thus to Get Out Of Shape.

''It may have been often printed in
the fashion news. but after ] never
see. and So" said clipper brother
Claude. "this is spang fresh news
10 me. that the skirt Of sisters new
spring suit is bagging at the knee
THAT mems trousers bag in that
way is notorious, in fact baggy trou-
sers have long been a subject for the
jolSesmith TO exercise his wits upon,
as they have long been to their wear
ers a source Of grief. No man likes
to have his trousers bag at the knee.
and there have been told stories of men
particular about their apparel who
when in their finest attire declined to
sit down for fear they'd get their
trousers out Of shape there, and II GER
tainly is a common thing 10 see men,
on sitting. hitch their trouser legs up
a little. to take the bagging strain
off the part that commonly comes over
the knee and to lessen the bagging.
"Some men have always had trouble
with their trousers in this way. but
that women could have trouble Of such
sort with their skirts / had never
dreamed, for were not skirts so vol
luminous that their folds could be
shifted and arranged at will, to pre-
cent their getting out OF shape? Wen.
Il seems that the close-htting skirt
of the present day is so scant that it
cannot be thus loosely disposed or
shifted about, one must sit in il as It
is. and thus woman comes TO have a
new experience and to get some faint
glimmer of one Of the most trying
troubles of men.
1T makes me smile to hear sister
say to mother that the skirt of her
new suit has already begun TO bag at
the knee. New York Sun.
