So Say Dress and Health Experts of
New York It Cannot be Laughed
Away States Authority Is Far
More Hygienic Than the Old.
NEW YOItK, March 29. If any
one thinks tho harem skirt is going
to be laughed and ridiculed out of
fashion much tho sumo as the direc
toire (own and sheath skirt woto,
and as the hobble is now being, that
person has another unusually large
sized mini; coming, accerUinj: to
many of tho dress and health ex
perts of New York.
And should the harem remain 5n
our midst, dressmakers are agreed
that-common sense will have scored
the greatest victory over mere fashion
on record. Not many can bo found
to rave over the appearance 'of the
bifurcated skirt, although leading
modistes say that when wo once get
used to it, it will appear as modi-.li
as n Worth gown. (, uii , haiem
is comfortable and what is even
more 'important hygienic, few will
deny.
Tho committee on public health of
the American Women's Medical as
sociation, held its annual meeting in
this city recently. Dr. Hello J. Mnc
donald was one of the New York
City delegates and hero is what she
had to say of tho latest Paris ini
mortalion: "From the stand point of hygiene,
it is a capital innovation. In the,
first place, the trouser-Iike division
gives perfect freedom of motion. Hat
more important, the harem skirt will
not drag going down steps, as even
a short tailor-mado skirt is apt to
do. This means that tho wearer will
bo freed from tho collection of
germs, dust and mud that is bound
to gather on the bottom of the or
dinary skirt. Also on wet days the
tho ankles will bo protected from the
chill caused by damp skirts rubbing
against them. If all women adopt
tho harem, rybelievo they will be
much healthier."
