The calotte is the nicest fashion development of modern times , for although it has all the advantages of freedom of movement enjoyed by shorts and slacks, it goes further, for it is entirely feminine and often times is not discernible from a skirt. The calotte above on the right is of Knoppe linen worn with navy sheer linen blouse initialled on the collar, leather belt and bowler hat in linen, banded and bound in navy grosgrain ribbon. It is worn by Miss Phyllis Giblin. On the left Miss Patricia Giblin wears the scandal suit. The shirt is cut exactly like a mans and the tail is left showing outside the skirt at the back, and the ends tie in front. Navy marble buttons extend from the Peter Pan collar to the waist.
