What will be do on cIoihcs.e days
Ks'iccially when it snows?
NEW YORK, Dec. 21. Can ou
remember so far back hn tiic fir-1
peek-a-loo, those waists with s;ots
of open work that showed onc' ite
mise through, how very naughty thev
were thought by all pond folk and
true. H w times have changed since
those old days, for waists thai now
are chic and arc worn so very thin
and frail one doesn't need to peek.
And when our kirts began to rise
they caused much consternation, yet
now a cry for shorter ones is sound
ed by the nation.
When evening gowns with just a
belt, and shoulder straps were bod
iced, the Godly folk all loosed a yelp,
and vowed they were immodest. Hut
now a Board in Washington. Com
mercial Economic, says women 1 folk
are overdressed. Displays more ana
tomic are due to be the outcome
