Even before the war there had been

1.-THE first reaction after Pearl
Harbor was away from long formal
evening dresses toward the speci-
ally designed short-skirted dress,
usually somewhat fragile and dark
in color. When these became too
elaborate, more decollete and less
restrained, ornament was piled on
in order to make them look i'm

was lost.

There Is something about length
