SKIRTS TWO INCHES BELOW THE KNEE, INDIANAPOLIS WOMEN TOLD

No. They’ll Not Be Shorter, Say Cables From Paris Dictating Spring Styles—Some, However, May Disobey Fashion Edict. By Mary R. Farmer , “Skirts two inches below the knee.” Yes, all the Paris cables during: the last few days have informed Indianapolis stores of just that thing in women’s wear. But the question is, Are the skirts to be shorter? Is two inches below the knee shorter than skirts have been this winter? No, they are not shorter, but some tyomen will continue to wear them two inches above the knee in spite of fashion forecasts.

Cables telling of Worth's spring cdllection shown this week say the hem line is -just above the knee. Worth is the latest word in Paris fashions to most women. There is a difference of several inches between his above-theknec hem line and the two inches below of other <lgsigners. NEW WAY TO MEASURE According to Indianapolis buyers, women now buy their dresses a certain number of inches below the knee instead of measuring the inches fifom the floor. Os course, for measurement in changing hems the floor measure must bo taken, but in speaking of styles and lengths it is always “two inches below the knee” rather than "sixteen inches from tlyi floor.” “Investigation in the larger stores -of this city prove that an average local woman wears her dresses sixteen inches from the floor, which is just below the knee for most of them, the buyers say. Ordinarily the dress when just below the knee comes just to the bend of the knee in the back when milady walks. Molded Hip Lino Accompanying the skirt at the knee or two inches below is the molded hip line, which is also announced in the cables to Indianapolis stores sent by Paris buyers. The waistline is a little above the hip Irene, where it has rested for so long, Itnd there are many bows being used for trimming, at the hip and shoulder. The collarless neck is the newest thing on the spring togs, whether it be round, necklace, bateau or V shaped. Drapes in the side and front are shown and a bolero effect is one of the style features. The dinner dress, as shown at the left in the accompanying picture,
