SHORTS?
YES, BUT WATCH POW YOU WEAR THEM. Of all garments in which the .modern girl can look charming, shorts are at once the most easy and most difficult to wear. Nothing looks worse, for instance, than shorts which, from* a mistaken sense of modesty, are worn too long in the leg. Shorts which seem to want to cover the knee, yet give up the job half-way. are ugly from every point of view. At the same time, shorts that are tod short are more fit for the variety stage than the open air. Shorts, to be shorts, should stop about two or three inches above the knee. Shorts which are too baggy are every bit as bad as those which are too tight, and both are unsuitable. Don’t make your shorts of fancy materials. Khaki drill, linen, or flannel are best. The only garments that go .with shorts are sports shirts or plain pullovers. Shorts and high heels look "\ atrocious! Finally, let me whisper—if there’s any doubt about your figure, don’t!
