About Skirts.

Narrow skirts of thin materials,
such as crepe de chine, foulard or thin
satin, are faced on the inside at the
bottom with firm heavy satin, or even
thin cloth to give the necessary
weight and to prevent dragging about
the ankles in these petticoatless dayR
This facing must be most carefully
and smoothly adjusted. however, or a
very clumsy look will be attained.
Even greater care should be employed

Official Standing of Kiss.

Homer describes how the servants
Of the noble Odysseus kissed his head,
shoulders and hands, and he also
states with his usual exactness, which
class of servants was entitled to do
homage in this manner and which
class had to be satisfied with a hand
shake. Thus in Rome it was custom
airy to kiss the head, the hands, the
tunics or the feet of prominent men,
according to the rank of those who
saluted. In the beginning Of the i'm.
perial era a prominent Roman could
not appear in public but that he was
almost devoured by his admirers.
