Here is a novel blouse designed

with an attractive and stylish suit.
crepe with deep cuffs and deep stole
bid by fashion to uncover our ears
right here in the beginning of winter,
when they really ought to be covered
with little wads of hair, we'll begin to
have curves also.
It is said that the new fashion is
not caused by desire of the feminine
gender to hear any news that they
have been missing, but simply that
they are longing for a change. In the
near future we may be able to sit in a
Topeka audience and see rows and
rows of uncovered ears in front of us,
where before there were wads, rolls,
cootie garages. ear guards, buns, muffs
or anything which one desires to call
the present coverings of our ears.
