poriums of female fashions recently
returned from New York with all the
latest fashion dope.
A party of ladies were being shown
some of the new styles which had just
arrived from the fashion centers and
were being given the latest slants on
what was correct for spring wear
After an Interesting expatiation on
the attractive novelties in the spring
styles. the fashion authority finally
reached the subject for skirts, which
candor forces, one to admit, have not
played SO. prominent part nj the
fashions OF recent years.
After explaining the new features
of the spring skirts. the gentleman
remarked
.'The correct length for skirts thit
season will be ~ inches from. the
knee"
One OF the ladies, evidently very
much absorbed in the fashion fore
cast. looked him straight in the eye
and asked
"Above or below"
And she hasn't been able to un-
derstand yet why the fashion au-
thority fell over in a faint.
All have to say is that If the
skirts this spring are gonig to be
worn II inches above the knee-my
