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."
