Each days mail is filled with
protests from feminine readers.
Mrs. Harold w. Curran of

it up in a letter saying:

that Dior has underestimated
the power of women and not let
him do it to us again-change
our skirt length, that is.
unless you are ready to throw
away your present dress supply

stiffen your backbone and be on
guard. These dramatic style
changes have o way Of being
forced upon us before we know it.
How many are in favor Of
dress lengths staying approx
