UNDER THE REICH
In Germany today, women do not wear lipstick “because the Fuhrer does not like it." Similarly, in Vienna, now that it is under the government of the Reich, women dare not look smart. In a community which once could boast of the smartest and most chic women, from whose fashion houses came some of the most attractive and inexpensive clothes in the world, it is sad to see an unbelievable change. It is said that in Austria today there are no smartlydressed women. Poverty and a dictator’s obsessions forbid them to wear anything more extravagant than a peasant dirndl dress, an old shady hat, and sandals for their feet.
