ITS RETURN UNLIKELY.
LONDON. Sept. 22.

'■';■. London doctors .unite in pointing out that the : short- dresses .-.'recently: worn ! are highly beneficial, in that they enable the ;.; wearers to walk freely, and to improve ■their'! carriage. To obtain good complexions walking is all important for women. ' j '■ i The hobble : . makes walking mincing and self-centred, and prevents' proper, exercise; Moreover, the faster and more congested the -city-traffic the greater the danger =to hobbled women.
