European MOdistes May Decree
Longer Skirts, But Can They
Make Women Obey?
By Beatrice Fairfax

} BILE to the throne over innumer-
able rivals and obstacles on

have discarded the veil, are de-
manding suffrage.

tilla in the balance.
"Why?" demands the duenna,
Spanish for chaperone.
Because" and 1t requires
courage for a Spanish girl to
question or stand up to her
duenna, "the travelling Ameri-
can girls, in their short tweed
skirts, have such a good time"
In spite Of evidence Of the
ages, in the matter Of clothes
or conduct, designers overseas
are as completely baffled' as
were tsarS, kings, emperors when
their subjects rebelled and
pulled off a revolution. They
Just can't understand what has
happened to the docile tax
payers.
For generations women
with the meekness Of dolls
have submitted themselves to
designers of clothes, who put
anything on them whether it
was becoming, suitable, CON-
Portable or groteSque. But q
new order Of women has arisen,
women who use their heads
more in, relation to their every
day problems. They realize
that clothes are an extension
of perSonality-that the sue
NcesSful. wage-earing woman, il
she returns to sweeping, germ
collecting skirts for Subways
and business offices, will lose
something she has won in the
way of recognition.
In the matter Of evening
clothes she's open to convic-
ton, granted she falls in love
with a frock which usurps the
functions Of a carpet sweeper
she'll try it out for a party
but business clothes are her
business, and in regard to them
she refuses to be put bacx in
long skirts.
Personally, I decline to join
the mournerS' bench and wall
over the shortcomings Of the
present generation; I know too
many fine boys and gals to
side with the oldSters who go
in for calamity bowling.
Human nature continues to
be human, as it was in the be-
ginning and ever shall be. At
the same time, nature with the
big N has a cruel way Of elimi-
mating the unfit, and a short
cut to elimination is the nau-
SeouS stuff of prohibition times.
The jolly bobbed-haired miss,
likely as not to offer to pay
half the expenses Of an outing
from her own pay envelope,
fades before the awe-inSpiring
damsel in the sweeping skirt
who'll have some difficulty in
vaulting a fence during the
course Of a country walk.
AS for the hobble skirt, would
any woman wearing a thing so
uncomfortable and silly aspire
to success? Imagine a woman
in a hobble skirt, or O hoop
skirt for that matter, getting
up to make a speech on the
floor of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes-who'd listen, who'd
regard her as anything but a
joke?
The short skirt came in as
the result of wartime economy.

The youths were sentenced to

Price refused to enter a plea of
guilty and said he would stand trial.
So far he has not been given a
trial and it is said county officials
are awaiting return of an indict-
ment by the grand jury. This will
not take place until April Mean
while, Price remains in Jail and his

According to a statement the
