ONE FOoT-oNE LADY

Three feet make a yard. And one
foot-added to the length of last sea
sons gown-makes a lady. Or sc
the girls of the fall of 1922 would
have us believe.
The long gown is making a vast
change in the manners and perhaps
in the morals of the American wo-
men. In short skirts every woman
was a kittenish young thing, whose
age was fathomless. Her unpamper.
ed limbs were always hurrying in
long strides, her bobbed tresses fly
ing in the breeze and her short skirts
flying around her knees.
Today a girl rushes into fashion
able shop looking like a hosiery ad-
vertisement with her extremely short
frock and silken calves and emerges
a long-skirted, tightly draped. demure
young person with slow, mincing
steps and with dignity simply radiat-
ing from her being.
The introduction of the long skirt
into the fashion world has produced
the same effect as will the pressure
of the reverse gear on an automo-
bile. 1t has completely reversed the
entire order of the feminine world.
Childish abandon is replaced as quite
indecent.
Bobbed hair gives way to long,
straight tresses shaped in artistic
chignons. Even the little plucked eye
brow must react to the rule of the
skirt. That sparce little line of hair
is again allowed to grow into high
ly arched, touch-me-not-I'm 'm-a-lady
sort of line.
And our modern dances even suf-
fer a change. How on earth can one
do those funny little foot exercises
that are required for the Camel Walk
and the Chicago in an ankle binding
gown?
OF what use are little trick steps
when the skirts are so long that no
one can see them? They are doing
the slow Argentine about New York, !
dance which requires artistic sway
ing of the torso rather than foot gym
nastics.
or course women whose names ap- /
pear upon the social register are TAX
ing to long skirts like fish do to wa
ter Their years of training in the
ways of grace and carriage have fit
ted them perfectly for the manipula-
tion of the long gowns.
It's the average, everyday girl who
is going to have a difficult time liy-
ing up to the new gown. She is liable
to feel about as much at ease In them
as a small boy does in his first long
trousers. She will often forget and
slip into the fiapper stride or attempt
TO cram her hands into her coat nocL-

At Report He Is Fortune Hunter
Through Marriage.

Zurich, Switzerland, June by the
Associated Press Max Oscr eS.
pressed Indignation yesterday over a
current report that Mrs. Harold r. Nc
Cormick had asserted that his purpose
in marrying her daughter, Mathilds,
was to obtain her money. 0ser de-
clared that he had sufficient money for
himself and his bride if they live sim
ply, AZ he said they purposed to do;
he had made goodly sum out Of the
sale of his fashionable riding school,
where he had thirty horses.
He had not asked Harold r. McCor-
mick, father of Mathilde, for any dos-
nv, which il the usual Swiss custom.
Denial was made by Oser OF report
that he had sought to marry another
wealthy American girl prior to his en-
gagement to Miss Mccormick. He had
never proposed TO or loved any girl un
til he met Miss Mccormick, he said.
Oscr added that his attitude had not
been changed by the opposition that
had heen raised to his marriage to
Miss Mccormick. On the contrary he
was more determined than ever to
marry her unless she herself refused
him. which he said he believed TO be
improbable.
