New Skirts Are Longer
Here Than in Paris

~ ARTS and New York are in con-
- nict over the matter OF skirt
L lengths Buyers returning
from the French capital say that
skirts in the new gowns shown there
are shorter than ever. while in New
York the style leaders are making
skirts considerably longer than
formerly. The dresses worn on the
local stage at the premieres to date
follow this lead.
II conservation OF material be
taken into account It is of course
logical that skirts become shorter.
But when was fashion logical?
Those who are looked to for style
loads In New York arc showing
skirts that In some cases are lone

only four years ago. Most men may
think that IL they have to pay $50 for n
suit that cost only Sc5 In 1914 they are
