The following from a Chicago paper.
gives hint OF the appearance of a
box of fashionably dressed women at
the opera: Gowns are extremely
decollete this season. Some of them
are practically without backs, SO mar
row is the line of bodice seen at each
side. The favorite style seems to be
deep V-shaped opening, the point of
the V not finished until it reaches the
waist. Another style is to have the
plays a minimum of bodice and a
maximum of back. When you also
have a skirt of tight himsy material
with a satin underskirt some few
inches shorter than the chiffon over
dress, the effects is of audacity." Yet
Chicago forbids the beautiful Mary her
Salome dance, and she at least is hon
est in not pretending to be clothed.
But these Chicago women must have
better looking spinal columns than
most women have, and possibly the
beauty doctors pad them with paraffln.
