, Charles Kurzman of Fifth avenue, one
of the foremost American authorities
: on fashions, said ten inches from the
' ground Is the skirt length adopted by
the really nice French women.
"Th.' French woman of recognised
I social standing- never wore skirts above
her shoetops," said Mr. Kurzman.
But even this does not settle It, be
cause some women wear higher shoes
than others. Mr. Kurzman says the
reason English women have virtually
adopted e'jrht Inches from the ground
as the proper length of the skirt Is
because they are not constructed to
make an exposure of caif and ankle
either becoming or advantageous, while
almost all French and American women
are. Mr. Kurzman and all of the other
American authorities, however, express
the opinion of tho American woman will
continue to do as she has been doing,
which is to make good taste and becom
ingness her guiding' principle in dress.
If she looks well in short skirts she will
wear them: if she looks best in long
skirts she will wear lon? ones.
