Officers Wives
Are Disnayed at
Pariisian Gowns

A TLANTA, June 3.-Army wives
whose husbands are returning
from France to Atlanta are view
ing with much distress the ex-
quisite Partisan gowns that some
of them are bringing home as gifts
to their ladyships. Sad to relate,
the dresses are lovely in every par
ticular, except when it comes to
length, for Atlantans have not yet
reached the point where they can
don skirts almost to their knees.
The soldier husbands, too, are
doubtful of the propriety of their
gifts since seeing the costumes re-
moved from their French setting,
for Atlanta women are showing
their preference for American fash
ions by wearing skirts reaching to
their anskles, while Paris is in
sisting On skirts reaching only a
fraction or so below the knees.
Another humorous phase of the
gifts brought by returning hus-
bands is the proud manner in
which overseas daddies are pre-
senting beruffled and befrilled and
very feminine garments to husky
boy babies. Exquisite creations of
net and ribbon and lace have been
viewed with tender scorn by moth
ers whose sons have long since
passed the "frilly" age, and are
wearing properly masculine cloth
ing, such as becomes young
America.
