WOMEN WITH SHAPELY LEGS FAVOR LONGER SKIRTS

Startling, Style Fact Is Revealed RvTimrfi Special NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—lllogical as It may sound to the baffled male, the possessors of the shapeliest feminine legs are those taking the lead in making the all-concealing long skirts popular. Such is the intelligence conveyed from Paris by Baron De Meyer, European fashion expert of Harper's Bazaar. Not piano-legged grande dames nor elongated matrons, but girls of | the debutante generation have been first to adopt evening gowns reaching to the floor, he reports. And the reason is simple- Having grown up as a generation that never has known skirts below the knee, they find trailing draperies the answer to the eternal feminine quest for novelty. “For evening wear the short skirt Is dead,” says Baron De Meyer in the current issue of the Fashion monthly. "For all occasions, in fact, save for sport and street clothes. The really smart women are making a special point of wearing very long skirts. The more even-lengthed, the more elegant they are. “Long skirts make a big appeal to the youngest generation. Prewar lengths being unkown to them, they find real novelt” in fashion’s latest departure. "Personally, I feel grateful for any fashion doing away with unsightly visions, such as crowded rooms with rows of seated women, most heavily built, and dozens of legs of all sizes facing me. "I’ve heard it said that there was no reason at all not to display unshapely .legs as long as an ugly nose or disproportionately large mouth was not hidden from view. Asa matter of fact, no woman ever does wear a mask because of plain features. There is, therefore, no reason to hide a leg, even when not perfect in shape. “Be this as it may, women this season are expected to continue displaying both shapely and unshapely legs during daylight hours, on condition that they hide them from view in the evening.” The remarkable point of the present fashion, observes the Harper’s Bazaar authority, is that for the first time in the history of fashion two distinct styles are worn side by side during the same season—the short skirt for day wear, the long one in the evening. "Long evening skirts in their present form are not likely to remain a permanent feature,” he continues. “They are a transitory fashion, likely to develop into the mode of tomorrow, so far uninvented.” W.

PARIS, Dec. 9. igOTH sports and daytime dresses are rather short at the house of Bernard et Cie, the only concession to the new trend being on some of the dressier afternoon gowns, which dip at back and sides. Evening gowns, however, are definitely long. An interesting line of tweed coats is shown, intricately worked and often trimmed with astrakhan or skunk. The fur collars are usually small. Several duvetyne coats are shown. The sport suits have tucked-in olouses. Gowns for afternoon have belts, but blouse over them with hips closely fitted. Crepe de ch ne is popular for afternoon wear, and lace is strong for both afternoon and evening, though velvet is most used for the latter. a u a AT Mary Nowitzky’s (to shift from the conservative to the daring), we find intevest ng negligees made like coats. One in green and gold lame is cut like the con- | ventionally tailored coat, but has a h!gh Medici collar, the whole lined m orange velvet. Another negligee in pale blue satin has a closely fitting bodice and a very circular skirt trailing in the cack. It is lined in rose. An orange velvet coat has the trousers in printed crepe, while a cherry-red velvet coat Is -ined with green ana has trousers in red. green and white stripss. The pajama top is close-fitting and sleeveless, of cherry-red satin. A pale mauve coat is lined with printed brown velvet, with blue and white flowers on a brown ground. The coat has revers showing the lining, and the trousers are of the same material. o o Have you had photographs taken for Christmas? Don’t you think you should color one or two of them for oh, very special people? You CAN, too. I’ll just promise you that you can, and even though you may not be an artist, that is, if you send a 2-eent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for this week’s illustrated leaflet. I tell you not only what kind of things to use, but just howto apply them and then pad the paint down —as well as what colors to use for blondes, for brunets, for Titian-haired people. It’s interesting—better send for it. a a o JUST the little ususualness of the sleeve —the way the material is cut and joined—and the timehonored elegance of black velvet, lace trimmed—these made the Bernard et Cie. dress sketched for you today worth while—and worth our attention and yours. o \f a Christmas Gift Suggestion DO your miscellaneous heroes purloin your lovely handkerchiefs?

Oh, all in the name of romance, of course, oh, yus, yus, yus! ’N’it doesn’t seem to make any never-minds to them at all whether it is a lovely thing cornered in price less lace or a little hunk of inexpensive choffon.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Ire Aroused by Advice to Abused Wife BY MARTHA LEE I seem to have shaken the timbers of many readers by my advice to “M” in the Thursday edition of The Times. It has been just like stamping my foot to the accelerator of a car with no brakes. Tons of burning coal has been heaped upon my head. “M” wrote a letter that told of nine years of misery, unhappiness, unfair treatment, and abuse from a husband who gave her absolutely nothing, not even a kind word occasionally. Her letter was pathetic. Her husband is a dog and deserves no pity as a human being. Several years ago, the heartbreak and misery was twice as bad as it is now, when her little 6-months-old son died. Now, she has written to say that she has met another man, who will give her kindness, a home (which she never has had) and love. In the meantime, her husband, characteristically mean, has developed tuberculosis. She wanted to know what she should do. Stay with him and support him, or leave him for the other man. Never Ask Advice First let’s get this straight. No woman ever asks advice until she already has made up her own mind. I told her to stay. I said that although her husband was a dog and deserving of no compassion as an individual. But he is not an individual. He is the husband of this woman. Here’s my objection. “M” had plenty of reasons these nine years to leave her husband. She had more reason than she has now. She just picked the wrong time, in nine years, to walk out. Any other hour, day or year excepting right now and it would have been justifiable not only in the eyes of the people, but also in her own eyes, which is much more important. I contend that “M” who has stuck for so long, under such nervewracking, heart-breaking circumstances, is too loyal at heart, too true to a contract to find any happiness away from the misery of living with this man, who is her husband. He is dying. He doesn’t deserve her help, but he needs it, and let me tell you if aR of us got what we deserved instead of what we need, we would be a sad lot of derelicts. Some Object But here are some of the stirrings of my feeble efforts to influence human beings to be kind to down and outers, even though they are rotters. Dear Martha Lee—What lofty ideas you have fabricated recently for the poor downtrodden females who seek your so wise counsel. Have you no compassion for poor "M.” or do you take secret pleasure in giving advice, which if followed, can mean only misery and more misery? The husband of "M'' is a weakling and no one should waste time with a weakling. Why did you not advise bewildered “M” to let her husband return to his sisters and mother? A change of climate won’t cure the dissipation which probably has resulted in his having tuberculosis. Your advice would be all right if “M” can delude herself into such a state of religious frenzy that she can patch her life up with love of martyrdom. Personally I prefer the more substantial, possibly gross but anyway satisfying, material pleasures of life. STATIC. No, drown the weaklings. Listen. Static! Ideas of weaklings merely are relative, the same of ideas of martyrdom and duty and religious frenzy and satisfying pleasures of life are relative. What’s martrydom to you may be just another chair to dust or a chop to fry for somebody else. I didn’t advise “M,” anyway. She asked me what I thought and I told her. And I still think it. Martha Lee—l am amazed at the answer you gave “M.” Would you subject this woman to further unhappiness? Don’t you think she deserves some peace of mind and contentment? Her husband never will be any different. I am interested in your column and think your advice is generally fair, but I can’t believe you are married or you would never advise ‘‘M’’ the way you did. I want to see "M” get a square deal.—X. I’m not all for this Mr. “M.” I think he’s terrible. But that doesn’t change the situation. If she’s stuck this long she never will find peace and contentment until she knows he no longer is in need of her. Mrs. H. B. ga,ve me a raking over the coals that would burn the ink off the typewriter if I put it all down. She said “I read your advice to ‘M’ in Thursday’s paper to stick to her husband and wonder how you get that way. Please tell me by what process of reasoning you could advise a woman to stay with a man who cursed, beat, abused and refused to support her% “In the name of sense what is a husband for? Let me give he- some advice. Leave the back-boneless excuse at once. You should have done so long ago. Let him run home u> his mother and get nursed back to health. I think she deserves a chance to salvage a little happiness from the wreck this wretch has made of her life. MR. H. B. All of which leaves me rather high and ary and standing alone. Is there any one at all on my side? Is there any one else who feels that “M” has lost her honorable and reasonable time to walk out on her husband?
