Women who thought the extreme in
dress had been reached decided that
skirts might be made an inch shorter
without undue exposure. The knitted
stocking will be a net stocking with
lots of air holes The radicals gained
a victory in hat decoration with the
addition of numerous silk ribbon Access

were left behind for the more dressy
