SILK WORM’S JOB TO CLOTHE WOMEN NOW; NO WOOLLENS.
BRADFORD SPEAKER BEWAILS ADVENT OF SKIMPY DRESSES FOR MODERN EVE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. (Received January 13, 9.35 a.m.) LONDON, January 12. A speaker at a meeting of the Bradford Textile Society, complaining that the industry was heavily hit by women’s skimpy clothing, pointed out that it used to take two sheep to clothe a woman. Now a silk worm could do it. Another curiosity of Spring Fashion was the vogue of calfskin coats and sports suits. They were usually in natural colour, so it was pardonable if short-sighted people mistook women golfers in bovine garments for Jersey cows straying on the links.
