Augusta Approves Of
Girl in Knickers-
She Visits Mayor

| The knicker girl with winsome grace
Confuses one and all.
They look an instant in ner race
And then their glances fall.
The original knickerbocker girl,
| Miss Hazel Sears of Boston. who
with her mother is visiting in Gardi-
ner, was in Augusta, Friday and was
delighted to have a chance to call
upon Mayor Sanford L. Fogg and
ask his opinion as to the newest
mode Of feminine dressing. She was
further delighted when Mayor Fogg
assured her that her apparel looked
practical and by way of "Reminiscences.
far above the hoop skirts and the
voluminous gowns of the women OF
a few years back.
Miss Sears has been receiving a
great deal of publicity in Boston and
nearby cities because of the knicker
booker costume which she has been
wearing. Her strongest argument in
| connection with the costume is, ut
certainly is more modest than some
| of the skirts that the girls are wear
ing"

tweed. The coat is built on simple
lines with narrow belt which
buckles in front. Her Knockers fasten
| just below the knees in neat bands.
The Knockers are full enough to al
low freedom of the limbs in walking
but they are not so full but what
they are modish in cut. She wears
a. girlish heavy silk blouse which has
pin pleats on the collar and the cuffs
which show out from beneath the
coat. She wears a tie. For the most
time she carries a walking stick.
| Miss Sears when in the city Friday
had most attractive hat 1t was of
dark blue suede, made in turban
style. A band of various colored
leaves also of suede formed frame
for her pretty hat. She wore to
complete the costume dark brown
silk stockings and low cut, fiat heeled
oxfords. That was how she looked.
Yes, that was how she looked as
far as clothes went. She has dark
brown eyes. dark hair and a winsome
manner. Miss Sears is most proud of
the fact that she was born in Maine,

makes her home in Boston. This
winter she is going to Cuba where
she plans to pass the winter, being a
professional dancer
Miss Sears says that everybody
approves Of the Knockers but that it
takes a great deal of courage to
wear them for the first few times. In
Boston there are a number of the
girls who are wearing them.
AS she walked along the streets in
Augusta. especially the business sec
ton. many people passed her and
did not notice that she was dressed
any differently from other girls.
But those who did notice turned to
look at her after she had passed.
| Maybe it was not because she
looked unusual but because she
looked unusually well, neat and trim
in her well tailored suit.
Miss Sears mother is lust as
staunch supporter of the Knockers
| as is her charming daughter. But
l think they look better on young
girls" Mrs. Sears adds. The daugh-
ter says they are the finest sort of
thing to wear when one takes long
walks, for street wear and for mot
oring.
The prediction is assumed that if
knickers do come to Augusta that
they VIII come first through the lady
golter and outdoor enthusiast.
