RETURN TO SHORTER SKIRTS.
The two most noticeable features of the present Parisian fashions is the tendency toward shorter skirts and the use of dyed fur. All those who learnt with regret that the days of untrammelled skirt liberty were to be a thing of the past may now rejoice! Judging by the models seen, short skirts are to be reinstated again. Women will be wearing skirts reaching at least to, if not above, the ankle. The new tailor-mades, walking dresses and sports clothes show a line quite above the ankle. The Parisian designers are now cutting even their afternoon and evening dresses several inches shorter than they have been doing for the past couple of sasons. There were certain models, in black lace and crepe georgette that were nothing more nor less than a complete return to the short dance-frock model which saw so'much service during the post-armis-tice days. „_
