HITLER MAIDENS.
EVENING DRESSES SUPPLIED. The "Hitler Maidens" are now to be supplied with evening dresses for special occasions, this decision being thought to be due to the personal interest of the Fuhrer, states a Berlin correspondent. Observing the badly fitting blue skirts and mustard jackets of marching columns of these girls not long ago, he afterwards asked the wife of one of his colleagues to design a new uniform, as he feared the Nazi Guards would uever take Hitler Maidens to wife unless the latter were more attractively clad. The official organ of the Hitler Youth, registering approval of the new dress, at the same time adds a warning about the spirit in which smart clothes are worn. "We hate the young lady with a life of her own," it says, because w-fc hate deceit. We hate the doll type that requires an exciting dress in order to attract attention." A Hitler Maiden is now equipped with uniform to wear when on duty, national peasant costume for folk dancing in the meadows, and, for festivals, her new evening dress.
