ANKLE SKIRT IS COMING BACK; NO SIGN OF CORSET New York Society Woman Sees End of Knee-Length by Fall, After Paris Visit. NEW YORK, July 22.- The day of the short skirt Is finished. Before autumn It will be replaced by the long skirt, a really long one, reaching clear to the ankles. This alarming, or comforting prediction —depending on the viewpoint —was made to the United Press by Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, famed as the most beautiful woman in New York society, who has Just returned from Paris. “The short skirt already has disappeared In Paris among the really smart,” said Mrs. Hoyt. “They're wearing them full ankle length. The new skirts are not especially full, though I believe there will be more of a flare to them by fall; at present the only decided change Is In the length. “I expect that the short skirt will disappear In the United States very soon, too —before the end of the summe”, even.” To the next question Implied rather than openly asked, Mrs. Hoyt hesitated before saying: “I Imagine It is safe to say there were no signs that the corset Is ‘coming back.' ”
