A clergyman who has lately return
I'd from an extended trip abroad gives
put the information that the split skirt,
about which so much fuss has been
made is not a new design born of the
of the Partisan or American
mind, but that in New Guiana all the i
women wear split skirts all the time |
and always have done so. They make
their dresses from the bark of trees. s
and they are not shaped to give room
for walking any more than the tube !
skirt of our own land. Hence the in IS
ference is that the skirt of today IS I
~ 'civilized' skirt has ever been be- {
,ore.
