'Artists are usually pretty critical of women's fashions, but they seem to be more upset than ever by the new short skiri and the still shorter one with which we are threatened in the winter. "When will women learn," said a well-known portrait painter, "that there are only two graceful lengths of skirt—one just a shade above the auklo and the other the hair let length. • Anything intermediate is impossible from the artistic point of viow, and there is nothing less graceful than a skirt which ends half-way between the jknoe and tho ankle—but that apparently is what they are threatening to inflict on us."—Exchange.
