Tesla, photo. THE GARMENT THAT CONTINUES TO CAUSE PUBLIC SCANDALS. So far our knowledge of the harem skip is derived from photographs and illustrated papers, and it would ill become th mere man to speak without due reticence. The above example comes from Wanganui. Anyone who can look at the, oidinary divided riding habit without a blush can certainly gaze at the harem skirt to his heart's content and face the wife of his bosom without a tremor of conscience. Not only is the new fashion modest, but it promises to give a certain ease to the feminine form that is now sadly lacking, and it look as though its wearer would be able to sit down without imitating the movements of a two-foot rule.
