PARIS SKIRTS.
LONGER THAN SYDNEY’S. “Girls of Pans ar© eccentric, some travellers say—with skirts above their knees. But no I certainly did not find them so.” Thus Madame Goossons, teacher of singing at the Conservatorium, on her return to Sydney from a holiday visit to Europe, defended Parisiennes. “I spent three weeks in Paris,” she said. “As for skints above their knees, no. The skirts are longer than they are in Australia. The girls there are very well dressed, and are hot vulgar in their make-up, such as one wopld expect after reading in the newspapers.” ’ ‘ ‘Music in Australia is of a very high standard after what I have heard in Europe,” said Mme. Goossens. “Although the principal reason for my. journey was to visit my father in Brussels, I have. heard many recitals and nuch operatic work.”
Mmo. Goosscns was very disappointed with London musically. “It i» all jazz there,” she said.
