Colonel Bryan declares that if he
prefers to go on a featuring trip or
a fishing trip the pubic ought not
to care. Colonel Bryan is nearly right
about it," says the Valdosta Times.
And the Savannah Press adds: Bryan
is not nearly but entirely right about
this. If he prefers to go IN lee
turing trip that is his business and
none of the public's. One good thing

THE SLIT SKIRT

Some things come too late. Some
momentus discoveries are made so
long after the proper time that they
cease to be of importance.
Of this character and quality is the
portentous announcement by the pub
lie health service that the slit skirt
and the diaphanous gown are prophy-
Tactic garments Of the first order and
that the women should be encouraged
in wearing them to ward off coughs
and colds; that too many clothes ace
being worn, anyhow, and that the
worst thing possible is to overload the
body in winter, under the illusion THAI
additional coats and overcoats will
make one warmer and healthier.
AS vindication of the present styles
this announcement has its value. B 1t
any worth it may thus possess be-
comes insignificant by the side of its
further vindication of female intuition,
that blessed though little understood
possession which prompts woman,
when confronted by an apparently in
soluble problem to shut both eyes and
leap-a queer and altogether unset
/.
