A fashion report from the smart set
Down East announces that to be strict
ly swagger nowadays A woman must
discard the engirdling stays and that
she will look altogether lovely in an
Empire girdled frock without the help
of the whalebone and canvas. This is
what the promoters of the style call

Garden of Eden situations. Some of
the young damozels in Washington
first took up the dress reform idea for
the fashionable dances of the season.

and then the trouserettes will be
placed on the joke makers retired

Miss Edith Cornell, Miss Ruth Wood,
Miss Marjorie Crittenden, Miss Ethel
Chase and Miss Mary Burnett.
