Show URGENT NEED FOR A NAME! If the Bisected Skirt Is to Be Generally Gen-erally Worn Let It Havs Feminine Femi-nine Appellation. It Is thought by some In Germany that the name "harem skirt" or more horrible still "trouser skirt" Is the only thing that prevents the spread and general use of this much talked of article of wearing apparel. 8o these same people have offered a prize for the best names and have hit up "A ma-ion" ma-ion" and "cavalier" skirt as a result, and hope by keeping these more alluring allur-ing titles before the feminine public to popularize the garment. Not that It needs so much to be popularized, they say. The leading German shops advertise ad-vertise It In bewildering variety, and privately claim that orders are pouring pour-ing In to a degree which shows that, like other extreme modes gone before, be-fore, the trousers er, that Is, the ?avaller skirt Is sure to conquer In the end. Hut If the more timid follower fol-lower of fashion buys one, and keeps It hanging in her closet to gaze upon with awe and admiration, yet Is afraid to wear a "trouser" skirt upon the street, by all means let us christen It with something softer and more feminine. |
