the METROPOLIS are of never ending in
tereSt to the village bred youth, anu
nearly every letter he writes contains
some comment on them me laIeol
one says that KansanS coming TO New
York had better provide themselves
with binders, on account OF the snock
they may get from the short skirts
that flock along Broadway
The women of the metropolis are
walking down Fifth avenue in fuli
skirts ten or twelve inches from the
floor. With this. ballet effect hlgn
boots are supposed to be a r1gueur,
but it doesn't follow necessarily that
they will be.
Naturally this mode of dress is for
the youthful and giddy, and not Tor
women whose angles are not 6ecom-
ing to the fashion, nor for grandmoth-
ers, nor for those built upon the plan
of a grand piano.
What a shock it is to see a little
debutante back, a full skirt swishing
to the top of white spats, little skull
cap perked on one ear, and then find
a. grandmother front and an ancient
face beneath the gay chapeau.
