How many inches from the ground
must my skirts be in order that
l may feel comfortably IN style :?
This is the question in every woman's
mind, whether she voices it or not,
for every woman knows instinctively
that the skirt length is q matter Of
extreme Importance in the attain
ment of a smart appearance.
The question is not 50 much what
is the fashionably correct length of
skirt as it is what is the smartly
correct length Of skirt for the indi-
vidual woman. Fashion can no longer
successfully demand an arbitrary
length Of skirt and enjoy q general
acceptance of the mode. The COM
pulsory attitude fashion formerly
maintained no longer exists, 50 the
result is that the correct skirt length,
is practically a sliding scale Of sew
eral lengths, depending upon vari-
Gus needs Of figure requirements,
personal opinion, the age and social
position of the wearer, the design of

the dress and the occasion for which
it is intended. Is
The present trend in skirt lengths
can be divided into. three classes,
three lengths, as pictured here today
the conservatively smart length,
the fashionably correct length and
the ultra or extreme length.
The three lengths are shown, re-
spectively, in the green taffeta dress
with filet apron tunic, the coat or
redingote dress Of ecru Canton crepe
and fish-net filet and the semitailored
bead-trimmed dress Of navy trico-
tine and black satin.
Is any other argument necessary
to convince than that Of concrete evil
dence, and have we not this evidence
in the illustrations of dresses of the
moment7 ......
The present acceptance of fashion
by the woman who aims to be ultra
smart is largely conditional. Her
skirts are Of varying lengths to suit
the occasion-as, for instance, her

moral effect Of the short skirt, the
uncorseted figure an6 the extrava-
CANT use Of cosmetics, and wen they
may be, but it seems to me they sp-
proach these evils from the wrong
standpoint.
THE girls and women who resort
to the extreme in fashion are not to
be Influenced by any moral influence.
Most Of them haven't brains OF heart
enough to understand any argument
The Washington herald., 1921-04-03

and that no woman can be truly
smart and fashionable with such
ugliness exposed, we would no
longer be distressed by the ex-
tremely short shift length. But, you
ask, how can you make a woman
understand this?
Don't try to make a woman admit
anything; but teach her by sugges-
tion and comparison to recognize
beauty and ugliness, how to enhance
the one and conceal the other, and
nine cases out of ten she'll not b
long in making some radical changes
in her appearance.
What we need, and need badly, is
more knowledge Of the beautiful-in

their thought is entirely of the pres

The subject Of too short skirts
should be approached from the stand

Dorothy Dix Talks
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman WI

Sending Maud Geraldine to College,.
The miserable. sour. disgruntled old
maids are those with nothing to do,
nothing to think about, but what they
have missed, no homes of their own.
no money except the grudging dole of
those on whom they are depending.
On the contrary there are no more
contented, happier. or clipper women
than the successful bachelor girls with
their good jobs, and their pretty little
bachelor establishments.
So in trying to decide whether to
send Maud Geraldine off to college or
me-. take natures tip. Give her the
once over with an appraising eye, not
a mother eye, and see whether she is
likely to have to make her own living,
o. have some man make it for her.
Also observe the degree to which she
is a riot or not among the boys. If,
by the time she is eighteen, the place
is not Uttered up with youngsters, you
had better get her ready for one OF
our famous institutions of learning.
So much for Maud! Now for the
pocketbook! Don't send her to college
unless you can afford it. The state
gives every girl a chance at a good
education in the public schools. II
she wants to add to that the whole
realm of knowledge is opened up be-
fore her in the same books she would
read and study at college. School
teachers have no magic that imparts
a secret culture not to be had outside
OF their sacred walls.
Some of the best educated women
have ever known have been self
educated. You can no more keep On
Individual who thirsts and hungers
for knowledge away from it than you
can keep a starving person from
grabbing at the food within reach.
We make q fetch of colleges. Es-
pecially mothers do, and there is nc
more pathetic thought than that OF
the thousand upon thousands OF
women who are literally killing
themselves, and starving the balance
of the family to send some girl off to
school who has no love of learning
no settled purpose in going except to
! belong to the right sorority, and be
able to talk college patter when she
comes home.
And for this. mother wears her old
clothes. and trims her hat over an
other time, and dismisseS the cook
and cuts down on the butter and the
meat, and goes thru nerve exhaust
| ing, pinching, grinding economies thai
| wear her to skin and bone, and take
| all of the brightness, and comfort Out
of the home What Maud Geraldine
gets isn't worth the price. Figure II
out for yourself.
Therefore I say that unless q cir
needs to follow a profession, unless
| she has given unmistakable evidences
| of peculiar mentality and talent. and
unless you can afford to send her tc
! college without making too many
sacrifices, dOn't do it.
| After all, education is Of many
kinds. It doesn't all come up ii
school book packages, with college
stamp on it.

One of the gratest things about
playing base ball is the noise. Every
body can argew all their mite at the

them all interested.
