Girls’ Skirts Longer Than Older Sisters’
Report Teen-Agers Like Them Extreme
By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 13 — The difference between a woman and a girl today may be the length of her skirt. t The longer ones, it appears, belong to the girls. } That's the wird from St. Louis, where dress . manufacturers set both their styles and their prices) for the cdllege girl and her. young! working sister. | While most New York manu-| facturers were busily cutting at! least an inch off their dresses to! hem them between 12 and 14 inshes from the floor, the St.| Louis folk came up with an| apology for the shortness of one costume hemmed at that modest mid-calf length. The right skirt, as they figure| it, is about 10 inches off the floor. “The girls seem to want them that way,” a spokesman for the) industry said. “They can always] hack them off, after all, if they] change their minds.” Other ideas the girls appear to] have sold their dressmakers on| are simplicity and low prices. Most of the’ dresses shown here] this week will retail between $10; and $30. Full print dress and! wool coat combinations will sell! for around $50 complete, | All the costumes showed modi-!| fication of last season's exaggerated styles. Back “interest” and skirt fullness have both been toned down.

Manner of Wearing Piece Important, Famed Designer Reminds Women NO ONE—NO WOMAN, ANYHOW—would be so unreasonable as to suggest everything a woman ‘wears must
