The following paragraph from the
Chicago Tribune should be applied as
a counter irritant for the Mysteries
some worthy people are having on ac-
count of the new "harem skirts
Paris does not want the new harem
skirt England does not want the new
harem skirt. as matter OF fact II
woman wants the new harem skirt she
nrobabIv will have it, The name is
somewhat worse than the style II de-
scriptions of the new idea may be re-
lied upon. According to one Paris
correspondent, the harem skirt is an
overskirt with slit at either slde-a
kind of apron sandwich board erect,
evidently. worn over long full trousers
of the material of the gown. They are
said to be graceful, giving great free
dom of movement and therefore mucn
comfort to the feminine wearer. NOW,
as a matter of fact, nc one, not even
the thinking woman, is ready for Wom-
en- to don the trousers, literally, however
near they have approached the change
in affairs in other ways But when
one draws a mental picture of this
new skirt and places by its side a liv-
ing picture of the recent hobble-
pray which is the more modesto We
vote for the harem skirt If mOdesty is
the issue and the hobble is the rival
candidate The harem skirt at least
has the virtue of concealing the lines
of the figure and making grace and
ease of movement possible. As much
can not be said of the hobble. The
harern skirt,.fs equal to two hobble
skirts gathered in at the ankles with
the addition of a double apron.
