HAREM SKIRTS ARE OLD

There Is a certain village on the Nor
folk coast in England where the harem
skirt has been in vogue for many a
year. though it is not to be maintained
that it has been worn on dress occa-
sions- But for working purposes the.
women have certainly found it conven-
lent, and perhaps the best excuse for
the harem skirt would be its adoption
by women whose work takes them into
the open or compels them to be out Of
doors in all weathers IN the Norfolk
village referred to the women are the
chief wage earners, and their bifurcat-
ed skirts somehow look as natural on
them as trousers on a man. But to the
average woman there can be no pre-
tense whatever that they are either
necessary or becoming.
