A letter received last week from
a Washington girl attached to the
Red Cross in Paris contains the as
founding news that the stockingless
mode is a reality there and not the
myth of a fertile brain. Women do
go about in broad daylight with dark
suits and shoes on and no more
stockings than the proverbia1 new
born babe. 1t is funny sight. she
says. but 1t means greatly increased
business for the cosmetic manufac-
turers, as the devotees of fashion
have their flesh very daintily tinted.
It is said that the stockingless fad
has been even more popular at Deau-
vile and other fashionable resorts in
France.
It is only recently that Paris wom-
en- have begun to turn their atten-
ton to clothes, as during the war
they led the women of every country
in conservation along this line, wear
ing only what they had and not buy
ing new things. Now. however, one
sees them very smartly dressed at
the Ritz and such places. though the
prices are terribly high even for
the simplest gowns and accessories.
