ABOUT LEGS.
A CLASSIFICATION. High Visibility of Stockings. One of the “ silly season ” topics to which the London Express recently devoted a large amount of space was on a discussion of women’s legs and whether they should or should not be displayed. The newspaper started the trouble by declaring that the recent era of high-visibility stockings has made it only too apparent that few women possess beautiful legs, and that from the aesthetic point of
view a return to longer skirts would be desirable. There are, the paper estimated, seven distinct species of legs on view in London, six of them the better for concealment. For the benefit of intending tourists the tabulation is given herewith:— 1. The Sheraton (spindly). 2. The oak table (elephantine). . 3. The dwarf Jacobean (massive). 4. Normal nondescript. 5. Balloon (obvious). 6. William and Mary (knockkneed). 7. Symphonic (as in the hosiery ads.).
