By MARGUERITE FINEFROCK

Hiya Neighbor--Every once in
awhile, lately, we note in the
papers that the fashion trend is
going to do a flash-back to those
of the 1920's. And just to re-
fresh our memory we hunted up
some snapshots to see if the
styles were as awful as we SEEM
ed to remember they were. We
looked, and groaned inwardly,
thinking, "Oh, no, they can't do
this to u.s." Those were the days
when it was fashionable to be
fiat chested, fiat hipped and as
string beanish looking as pos
sible. In fact, looking at a girl
from side view in those days
was like looking at a slat from a
venetian blind, with nary a curve
in it.
1t sure would be tough to go
back to the sack-like dresses of
that era, particularly those with
the waist line somewhere between
the hustle and knees. There were
no fancy necklines, no becoming
off the shoulder ones, no plung-
ing necklines, just hole cut in
the top of the material from
which necks protrudedl without
glamour of any kind. The small
cloche hats looked like cooking
pans turned upside down on our
heads and were worn tipped over
one eye. And don't forget, skirts
were up to the knees with stock
ings rolled below.
Then We found another snap
shot where we were wearing a
short taffeta dress, made with
concealed hoops just over the hips.
When we gazed at it from a dis
tance we looked for all the world
like floor lamp, with a mahog-
any base topped with a china silk
lamp shade. And the more
we looked and the more we
thought about it, the less we be-
lieve anyone will ever want to
look like she stepped out Of the
roaring twenties, particularly
those of US who've already been
through 'em.
