FUTURIST SKIRT

The critic that said the futurist and cubist schools of art would in no way affect our normal life, has another thought coming.}. Miss Violet King, one of the most ‘ prominent of the younger set at Newport, where this picture was taken, has originated and is wearing this multicolored “futurist” skirt. It seems as if this novel design will take with her friends, from whom it will gradually spread into popular favor with the gentler sex. Miss King did not volunteer to make'public the theme which the design was supposed to depict, but an artist who happened to pass remarked that it was an inspiration for a cubist painting he was then planning.
