"Limp!" Is Fashions Latest Edict

T F American women expect to yield blind obedi-

be obliged to submit soon to TRANSFORMED
lions of their outward anatomical appearance In
the past few years they have been called upon to
have hips, and then to dispense with them, and to
make successive changes in the Location of the

to waist at all. Now Paris has figured ont
something dferent-two waists and limp. These
unique afectations of the very fashionable Paris
ienne are born of the Polonaise gown, which is SO
tied in at the ordinary waist and again at sort of
secondary vast below the knees, that the wearer
cannot walk without limping. The Partisan polon
