No Long Skirts for Street Wear.

The small waists have never returKSd once they were thoroughly ousted by the modern woman and there is small chance for them in the future so most women think. The long skirt seems inevitable, that is, longer than It is now. But the dressmakers and fashion makers announce it with the full understanding that these dresses are only rer ceremonious occasions and not for service, like street w'ear and shopping and walking. Everybody hopes they will never return to drag the streets and when everybody joins pretty firmly against a style It has a hard time getting a foothold.
