Permlssionaries In Paris.

At the Care de FEST you can see the
permissionaries come in by hundreds.
They are Of every age and grade.
There nre clean ones and very dirty
ones. They SLOUGH and they strut, or
they walk with that peculiar trench
walk, with the feet close together.
They hang about the station entrance
to buy post cards and aluminium rings,
which they give away to their friends
as presents from the trenches. Little
family groups are waiting there for
some Of them or it may be just one
woman with a baby in her arms. or
woman in mourning for the son who
will not come home any more. With
a fine contempt for such things as dust
and mud and the public eye, the per-
missionaire is embraced warmly by
his relations and they carry him off in
triumph on the train or in taxicab.-

Every step women have taken to remove

II we go back two decades in our own
time we can recall the outcry that greeted
the short skirt. The display Of stockinged
ankle, not to speak OF an inch OF calf, was
regarded as unseemly, immodest and even
wanton. Indeed, the low-necked evening
gown has formed the theme OF innumerable
rabid sermons. The woman who displayed
six inches or more of her back was de.
nounced as a siren out to lure men into the
