THE "THIN SKIRT LEAGUE" Gy John De Gant I lilt rd I’rrMN MiHY < orrr**|Miii<l«*iH Paris, June s.—" The Thin Skirt League" Is the latest feminine organization to start Paris a-talking. Its objects in to safeguard the rights —and the lofts —of those ydling ladies who, possessed of shapely underpinning, find themselves hard hit by the edict decreeing that long skirts shall bo in fashion tills summer. The members pledge themselves, while wearing skirts fashionably long, to make them such thin stuff that even in the shade their well-modelled props will be quite apparent. "We don't mind wearing fairly long skirts, because it is the fashion," declared one of the leaguers, a pretty brunette with blue eyes, ‘ but we think our mascnline admirers ought to be entitled to see more that; our ankles, after having been used to observe the rest of our legs veiled only by silk stockings. If this part of out person, which is obviously attractive, remains hidden hereafter, many men won’t be able to distinguish a natural advantage that lias proved itself very important after the short skirt fashion was implanted.” ‘I joined the League," said another, a tall Monde mannequin, "because 1 don't like long skirts. They make me miss all the ‘effects' I made when we were allowed to wear dreses down to the knees only. Now, to attract, really is very difficult. I hope next winter the skirts will be shorter, otherwise I'll quit being a mannequin and become a painter's or sculptor's model. Then 1 may wear skirts as short as 1 please, not wear any at all.” “I am glad to be a leaguer, declared finally a small aprete of about eighteen "because my legs are prettier than my arms—the latter are too thin." The “League,' 1 which has already many members, has established its headquarters in a little tea room near 1 aqttin's and its decisions promise to bo most fully followed.
