ULTIMATUM
Previous Atternpts •to Make
Dresses Longer Piave
Failed
London. -Arched with the slogan
"Knees are :ugly," London dressmak-
ers' have 'united. in a final stand to
retrieve an lengthen the fast disap-
pealing skirt. It is the last shot in a
battle between female preference and
dress designers' prestige.
In the spring of -1926,, fashion ex-
perts in London, aided and abetted by
their Parisian colleagues, delivered an
ultimatum:."Skirts 'shall belonger.''
British and, American women, un-
willing to forego the new found free-
dom of movement, refused to listen to
the designers, Skirts, instead.of com-
ing down four inches, went up one.
Exactly a year later, the designers:
again proclaimed: "Skirt's must come
down." No one listened. English so-
ciety,cheerfully ignored the designers,
took another half 'inch off the hears,
and proudly displayed the knee.
With summer staring them in the
face, the designers have decided upon
an attack on feminine physiology.
"There` is one curious- fact about
knees that has been overiookeda E.
H. Symonds, managing director of Re-
vino s said recently. "The knee joint,
as an eminent lean pointed out to me,
is the ugliest joint -in the human an-
atomy.,,
