"LONG SKIRT MENACE."

„THE CARRIAGE AND STYLE OF WOMEN.

Tint the Englishwoman is remarkable for Fer beauty we have long been "ga." customed to hear. But when the foreign male visitor exclaims that there is not single ugly woman in London we sit up and look around.

Clearly something has bewitched him. What is it asks Dorothy Richardson in the Daily Mail.

What does a discriminating man notice first 7 Carringo, bearing, style. If style is there he will be blind to defects “in detail. And there is no doubt, What, ever that the clue to the Lyrical outery is the Englishwoman's new-boru style. Į Its erigia is partly moral. Women have become morally visible. And, partly, it| is physical. For, to the horror of the over-inflammable of both sexes, have also becond physically visible: For! either reason the diferencs is immensur«- able between the bearing of the avenge woman bf to day and the ambling shalle of the average woman during the reign of the long skirt Thy coming of the short skirt revented at once the bidders horrors of the Englishwoman's' walk. She saw for herself, the astonishing be havior of her feet, altered it, and found) aesthetic, and, incidentally, physiological, salvation. The straight, free stride from the hips. feet and legs one with the baly, swinging it easily along instead of) flattening just anyhow under its weight, braces the whole frame, throws luck the shoulders, raises the head, brightens the eyes, and makes walking a joy.

The reintroduction of the long skirt will be an aesthetic and a physiologiqial tragedy. It is ugly and inconvenient. It is dangerous. "Not a single good word can be said for it. Long draperies are graceful. But they are graceful only where they are suitable There will al- ways be place for them. At present wa are asked to accept a compromise in the dress that is neither big nor short. Neither high nor bow. Hideously it cuts across the curves of the neck and should.) ers, hideously "it reveals the thickest of the ankie, displaying it unmodified by the balancing curve above it. It is said to be modest. It is, in effect, the extreme of immodest false modesty. Those funny poor deurs the ankle gezers who shriek gut against current himedesties, "and their counterparts; the women who would mandge to be exciting in prison garb, will retain themselves, whatever the fashion. To these men and these women sex is everything. That does not matter. But it does matter that they think o is shameful, and the human, and especially the feraidine, form an indecent object. The short skirt ins been long- lived because women have, blessed it. If it gors they know exactly what personally they are sacrificing. But the sacribe for the rice is incalculables.

A KING'S TAILOR. MAN WHO FIRST PRESSED TROUSERS SIDEWAYS.

It is given to few of us say's a writer in a contemporary, to leave an enduring mark on the world, to write while we Jive ng epitaph that shall last through the ages, and keep our memory green. There has just died at Marienbad one Wenzel Wilfert, whose name will be re membered ju Savile Row as long as clothes are worn. No mere victorious general was Wenzel, no standard-bearer of empire; but a tailor, a snip who built clothes for kings; and in his obituary notice it is, solemnly recorded that

"he invented for King Edward VII. the the custom of "creasing trousers at side"

Ever since trousers were, mankind had the front been creasing them down

in the old humdrum way, so that the legs of princes looked just like those of ordinary people. Then came Wenzel, the Isaac Newton of the sartorial world, and brought his great brain to bear on the problem Bike a flash the inspiration enme, and thenceforward all the best! people had their bags creased down the sides. It must have caused a tremendous sensation at the time. Victorian knuts, slaves of the frontal ereasa, shuddered at a change that smelt of Bolshevism; but, like good subjects, they fell into line, and adopted the revolutionary iden. It is rather hard luck on Wenzel that his startling innovation nover eaught on True, it is kept among the hoi polici. alive to-day by King George, Edward's son, but outside the Royal Enclosure at Ascot one seldom sees it. We poor folk continue to fold our bags down the front and stow them in a stretcher or under the mattress. In spite of this fact, poor." Wenzel must have died happy. Some men leave behind them continent smeared with red But he did better than this. He revolutionised the trousers of a king, remoulded them nearer to his heart's desire. Men have been buried in West- minister Abbey for less than that.

WOMEN AS SHIP'S ENGINEERS.

Mr. Booth, Secretary of the Marine Workers' Union, discussing the return of Miss Drummond from a voyage a ship's engineer, says there will be no more wo- men ship's engineers. The owners wished to enable her to qualify for the engineer's ticket." There would be no change as result of the experiment, as women were nos substitutes for men in the engine room. At sea Miss Drummond wore trousers like the men, but was only a "sort of cadet. She was not likely to go to sea again.
