THE WOMAN
OBSERVER
Her Busy Afternoon.

TT is difficult to drive a car
hold onto broader hat
and keep a flimsy short dress
down.
II you don't believe IT ask the
woman l saw the other day driv-
ing out Connecticut avenue. She
had a woman companion on the
front seat and another in the back
seat. Evidently they were bound
for bridge party or an afternoon
tea at one OF the clubs, for they
were all dressed in gay summer
togs with broad brim hats.
The windshield was up. With
the left hand the woman held on to
her hat With her right she steered
the car.
When the wind blew her short
skirt above her knees. she vt
go her hat to pull down her skirt.
Then her hat would lift a fraction
Of an inch from her head. She let
go her skirt to frantically grab
her hat. Then her skirt would be
above her knees. which all the time
were subject to the gaze OF the
passengers of a street car running
parallel with her motor car.
THE WOMAN was an amused
passenger.
