But the propaganda for the long skirt t» sinking deeply Into the heart* of women and spreading Itself far over the continent. Mind you. these skirts are not ncrording to the lines that wc have worn. Sometimes they are straight, but often they are slightly draped upward at the back, and there Is a growing tendency to make a skirt, exceeding!.' nirrow and sweeping the Instep, end then a draped tunic, which Is a quick reminder of the pullback skirt other days. JCi, you see. the designers are kind to u* after all. They provide a new skirt and a new silhouette, but they do not comp-! you to buy a new gown.
