One immediate result of a recent air raid warning in Manchester was an increase in the sale of trousers, eaye a writer in the "Manchester Guardian." A housewife in one suburb where the sirens had never been used in earnest before, eet out the next morning to buy a pair. Her first acquaintance with the alarm had made her decide that one had to move with celerity on these occasions. It decided her aleo that dressing gowne impede progress. Other women had found the same thing; the costumier had already sold in a few hours more trousers for women than she could remember eelling for months, and had only three pairs left.
