anomaly. The audience laughs all the

stage today, and can make one laugh
regardless Of the supineness Of his ve-

been spanked and put to bed before the

THE SLIT SKIRT
(by Kate Whitaker

To slit or not to slit-and if not =,
why not?
1t is really rather interesting-an
little disconcerting-to observe
the modern mans naive surprise
and alarm at the immense discovery
that women have legs. Who
would have thought it, don't you
know? Almost seems that it was
high time we showed 'em-just to
establish our bona fides.
Are legs. female legs, really dis
reputable? Surely not. They are
often shapely, even beautiful. Ere
quently skinny or merely so.
Sometimes we'll shod, sometimes
otherwise. But their outline is
ordinary and Unconditional for the
most part-a mere stem adorned
under happy circumstances, with
a curve at the calf.
The average female leg ends with
foot provided with five toes and
occasionally, nay, all too often, &
corn or two. The great toe is In
variably askew, the toenails not
quite pretty. The leg itself i:

Last year we were hobbled.
Skirts were not only all-enveloping
but they were almost sealed. Then
some bright girl who tried to step
from the road to the sidewalk on
a rainy day in Los Angeles met
with an accident at the seam-and
behold, the slit skirt. The effect
was quite artistic and certainly
comfortable. Bein? Why, mend
it? Possibly Paris had rainy day
at the same time. At all events
the slit skirt made formal debut
and was received in polite society.
At first we were a little shy.
Men had persisted in regarding the
female leg as improper for SO long
that we were reluctant to show
them how very harmless it really
was. We had long appreciated
the charm of mystery. But that
slit lured us. There is sugges-
ton of the debonair, the insouctive
swish, captivating swagger, a
feeling of free and untrammeled in
dependence. 1t seemed so entirely
to fit in with our modern mood,
