Show The Trailing Skirt. (Philadelphia Times.) The trailing skirt is not to be judged by common sense, because it is a plain violation of everything that is sensible. sensi-ble. It is not to be discouraged 03 the score of health, because if it is I the vogue some women will wear it even though it catch more bacilli than ever swam in the Schuykill. And as to laws passed by solemn men who want to chain fashion to the statute books, they are a waste of time and energy. 1 It is one of the incomprehensible facts of the world that any woman w ill wear anything so utterly absurd; but.i then, if we should take all the absurdities absurd-ities out of fashion there would not be enough variations left . to keep the dressmakers employed. Of course, there will be a change, but it will not come until woman sees it on the fashion fash-ion plate. In the meanwhile, any man who can love a woman who wears trailing, skirt on a dirty street need not be assured that love is blind. |
