Show DETRIMENT TO THE FIGURE criticism that may be made of the extra short skirt As to light cold colored red stockings the fashion of wearing light stock ings with short skirts and black shoes Is one that attracts little rAt attention in europe and too much attention in america the street crowds always gaze at a woman who several inches of ankles covered with white or gray ellk silk stockings although they probably would not notice it the stockings were black the objection to these extra short sorts Is that it puts too many abrupt lines on the figure ft the waist and the instep there Is to a universal tunic plaited platted or godet which cuts the figuro between the knees and the ankles then comes the underskirt which Is short abort and narrow and cute cuts the figure in another line just a few inches below the tunic and this line ID to made more definite by tho the use of white whito or light colored stockings which in themselves are another dividing line when hen they come to tho the black shoes |
