During July, at such places as

where most of the new fashions are
launched by those who defy the
commonplace, there was a percep-
uble return to long skirts.
The majority laughed at the idea.
~ anyone with belief in the aboli-
ton or the short skirt stated that
hlief among women who were not
paying much attention TO the smart
set, the exclamatiOns of dissent ran
all the way from disbelief to de-
fiance. Short skirts, women said,
were what they wanted and what
they would wear. The question is
how long they will be worn.

circles, where one expected conser-

clothes worn on the plea that they

A Good Fight Is On.
So summing 1t all up, It appears
that a really good stiff fight is on
in this country as to which length

IL is not "A revolution, this lower

has been an expression of opinion

The very smart dressmakers have
encouraged this fashion by trying to
persuade all their smart and power

were not cut according to the chorus
