J: Carl Hemingway ' „ and controversy, Should the hem-line be ipne, two, three or four inches above or below the' kneerpap? The decision of some individb’ als has respited ‘in some inter esting reperepsstons: • One High School principal sent a number of students to the sewing room to lengthen their skirts to meet minimum standards. The tost time was made up by detentions. At a local Women's Institute a resolution was approved Which recommended that the' members boycott manufactur ers of dresses that failed to provide skirts of minimum length, All this controversy seems to me to be a tempest in a tea-pot that could be resolved very quickly if the ladies would get down to basic facts:. Just why do ladies wear skirts? As our TV interviewers would, say, “That is a good question.” As a mere man I must confess the question is baffling. It would seem logical in a climate such as purs that body cover for warmth would be a prime consideration. Therefore we could approve longer skirts in winter and shorter 'in slim mer. ' • Such is not the case, yet the need for warmth is appairent as observed in the ever-increasing length of ladies snow boots. On the other hand is the length of the skirt determined to reveal the beauty, real or im agined, of the female anatomy?
