Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-11-15

Rebellion is rampant in America.
Americas women have ~revolted
against Paris fashion dictates.
And in casting off their bondage
to the whims of the French 'nodiste,
American ONE are creating dis
tinctly American fashions.
These facts We're obtained in a ma
tional survey made today by NEA
| Service for the Perth Amboy Eve
ming News.
Length of skirts caused it all.
The long period of freedom of
the knees was decreed ended by
Paris some time ago
Furthermore, this long skirt re-
Nuisance was to be no halfway mea-
sure, declared the French fashion
czars. "Clear to the ground" read
the ukase.
The word was b~roadcasted
Throughout America. The modistes
began designing tEem along Stream
line" specifications. The department
stores put the long skirt dresses and
suits on display everywhere and be-
gan to stock up for the usual fall
rush.
But the rush failed to materialize,
today's survey shows.
Used to the comfort Of free.motion
allowed by the short skirts. Ameri-
can women, in the main, have refus-
ed to don the clinging lo~ng-skirted
Partisan creations.
A few bought them. Most women
didn't. Furthermore, they say they
won't, Paris or no Paris.
THE fapper type, knowing it will
pass out of favor with the l~engthen-
ing of the dresses, is certain to fight
tooth and nail against any move
against the short skirt" declared
one fashion expert a few months ago.
Many Defy Paris Dictators
That expert spoke advisedly. Not
only is the outspoken fiapper aroused
to action, but practically ali of the
clubwomen, society n educa-
tors, professional women and women
health authorities in the United
States are supporting her in refus-
ing to sanction Frances whims.
All over the land are signs Of in
surrection.
"Preposterous," lust plain ugly"
"unhealthy," "silly"-are the declar-
atoms of American women concern
ing the French skirts.
The final result is that at the per-
iod of the year when the women are
usually CARRIED in accordance with
the newest mode, shops are still
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-11-15

stocked with extremely long gowns,
and women are wearing Just what
length of skirt they please-and
most of them are short.
Out of this chaos, however. comes
Americas first constructive indivi-
| dual style movement. For while
| American womanhood isn't going to
let Partisan ateliers foist ludicrous
| dresses on her. neither, apparently,
is she going to let the youthful flap
| per be the arbiter of the apparel
| question.
Seven inches from the ground
that is the skirt length the American
de facto style dictators have decreed.
That's a big come-down from the
demands of the iiapper, but the re-
suit is a skirt that not only modi-
fies the French styles but retains the
freedom of movement that was one
of the greatest advantages of the
abbreviated dresses.
War Raging ON West Coast
The most active warfare over the
French skirt is raging in Los Angeles.
Its beaches are bringing docks Of
the fashionable and wealthy in for
the winter. They favor the shorter
skirts. Between these and the NOV
lie stars-who must keep ahead Of
the styles-the long-short skirt con-
troversy is bound to meet an acid
test this winter.
Short dresses and their appro-
pirate complement give a semblance
of youth, and aging women will be
( loath to surrender this" declares one
California modist who knows human
nature.
New York, however, sees a pre-
dominance of long skirts in the smart
restaurants, at the new revues and
wherever fashionable people gather.
They range from ankle length to
five inches from the ground. This.
say Gotham's designers. is the re-
action from the short skirt, and since
it has been so well received by New
York, they believe the rest of the
country will follow suit.
Partisan importers in New York
bring first news of French modistes'
surrender to Yankee resentment. Al
ready, shorter skirts r being shown
on the Paris boulevards, and the
importers whisper confidently that
the long skirt is a temporary mat
ter, to be replaced soon by a con-
sentative length. This is considered
a victory for American womanhood.
Generally throughout the south,
the long skirt has been accepted as
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-11-15

the mode-temporarily. But not,
, however, without open expressions
of opinion that the seven-incn skirt
would be more welcome.
She Condemns Long Skirt
THE old skirt which swept germs
from the ground certainly should be
, a horror of the past" says Mrs. P. j.
Fredericks, president of the New Or
leans Federation of Clubs. How
ever, skirts should be longer than
many women wore during the last
year"
Staid New England, seat of Amer
ica's first revolt, is not taking kindly
to the orders from a foreign dictator
this year either. Boston's prominent
m agree with designers that
the day of the extremely short skirt
is past, but they refuse to accept
the Partisan clinging gown Us its
successor.
THE new gowns, usually made to
reveal rather than drape the figure,
are far more shocking to morals
than the short skirts" declares Miss
Amelia Burnham, prominent in Bos-
tons Professional Women's Club. She
condemns the French creation also
on grounds of lack of hygiene and
personal comfort, and favors a skirt
not less than seven and ona-half in
ches-and possibly a Ioot-from the
ground.
Washington's social circles have
| accepted the long dress for after
noon and evening wear and a slightly
shorter skirt for street. But the
thousands of young women in gov
ornamental employ ignore the de-
cree-and Washington looks for re-
urn of the short skirt in the spring.
Philly F1appers Want EN- Long
Philadelphia fappers now want
them as long now as they wanted
them short a while ago, say modistes
there. The older women, however,
are in open revolt. They do not
want the knee-length dresses, but
they don't accept the kind that drag
on the ground.
st. Paul women are taking kindly
to the skirt heightened to seven in
ches from the floor.
But they have issued a warning
that any attempt to make them wear
street sweepers'' wisl bring a revolt!
They insist that this is the era OF
dress according to individual ideas.
Kansas City, Indianapolis, Ind,
Helena, Mont, Portland. Ore, Seat
tie. Wash, and San Francisco are
other cities reporting a revolt against
the long clinging Partisan skirts.
Down in Atlanta, Ca, the return
Of the long skirt has been hailed with
delight. Many take it there as the
end of the jazz period in American
history"
The lowering of skirts to the sew
en-inch height also is declared by
some economic students to be a sign
that the American woman. having
won her long fight for the ballot, is
now determined to do her own think
ing regarding clothes.
