People who take this view OF the
matter are strong for restoration Of
party discipline. Other people look at
the decay OF the disipline OF the two
old parties and increasingly prophesy
that a third party will soon be upon

are much given to saying that
Senator La Toilette will lead a third

AGED BEAUTIES
+. CAUSED FINISH
Of SHORT SKIRT
They Made Dressmakers
Lower Gowns to Meet Flap
pers' Competition.
By BASIL ID. W0ON,
By Universal SeryJce.

PARIS, July 10.-The secret OF
the great mystery Of why Paris
dressmakers abolished the short
skirt has at last been unearthed by
no less an authority than Flo Zteg-
field. well-known American beauty
connoisseur. He said:
when the short skirt came into
vogue the traditional but somewhat
elderly beauties Of Paris were at a
great disadvantage because. while
cosmetic science permitted them to
retain their youthful faces. their
lower limbs resisted all treatment.
These famous beauties were the
biggest customers of dressmaTers.
and when they saw the men turn
ing to younger girls solely on &C
count OF their slender calves. they
handed an ultimatum to the style
makers that they must either bring
back the long skirt or lose their
trade.
Dressmakers Obey.
Fearing a loss Of business, the
dressmakers obeyed.
Sex explains why American girls
insist on retaining the short skirt.
Nine out of ten American girls
possess beautiful legs"

Americans have left Paris en- route
