Why Is an ankle watch and why
DO women wear their stockings
rolled down to their shoe tops, dis
playing bare legs? This Is a Ques-
ton that has arisen since the two
novelties originated in New York.
What will this winter or next sum-
mer bring forth in undress styles:
The crazy extreme displays app
parently originated abroad, were
brought here by actresses and over
night developed into fad.
Mayors Of other cities say that
they can hardly imagine that tbs
foibles will be Of any great endure
ance, and class them with the wrist
watch and sport shirt. It is some-
thing based on the desire Of certain
persons to attract undue publicity to
Z themselves.
These fads have no more reason
for existence than a mosquito or a
housefy, say the Mayors of Chicago,
Kansas City and st. Louis.
It's Just here because they're here.
The eyes of New Workers are
dowpcast as II some great tragedy
had struck this center Of fashion.
foibles and folly. But New York is
not downcast, neither does 1t mourn,
but the busy denizens of the metrop-
oils have been gathering fleeing
glimpses Of ankle watches and
folled-down socks. What will come
next?
Yes, the ankle watch and the Gus

In years agone our ancestors, in

The new ankle watch is a sort of
a second cousin to the wrist watch,
and the reason for carrying a watch
about the ankle is about the same as
for strapptng one to the wrist. That
Is there Is no reason for 1t outside Of
a desire Of the wearer to attract at
tention.
When the first woman appeared
with the first ankle watch New York
just GRAINED its neck a little more
than usual and said nothing. It takes
something more than an ankle watch
to shock little old New York.
