WOMEN’S SKIRTS
Latest Trend of Fashion After ten years, skirts have come full circle, as indeed skirts should,, aud are again to be short, said the London “Daily Mail” recently. The soothsayers of fashion in Paris prophesy a garment tight and ending just below the kuee. In 1926 skirts soared so high that women had to call in Russian boots to redress the balance. The effect was extravagant—us though the “monstrous regiment of women” were a Highland regiment. But tile 1937 specimens ought to make a workaday dress, active and uuhtimpering. And after a while, they will once more plunge suddenly toward the ankles, for that is the long and short of women’s fashions. .Men don’t mind this alternate boom and slump iu skirts, provided women never go back to those Victorian trailers which disturbed the dust of the pavement and tripped up passing cab-horses.
