EINALLY our charming women
L folk have bowed to the inevitable
and given the gate to the short
skirt. Soon sight of tapered ankle
will be spoken Of as something that
existed in "the good old days"
Women of course will be chided
for their weakness. They have pro-
tested that the short skirt is healthy
and comfortable, and tried to keep
it in the mode, but what are the
poor things to do when the whole
sale dressmakers just won't make
short skirts. The girls must buy
what they are offered or nothing.
And where's the harmr The change
means more cloth used, more mill
hands at work, more business in
the q stores. The much derided
changing mood of our women folk
has kept the wheels of industry
moving many year.
