The “Harem Skirt”

The “Harem Skirt.”—Of the new style of woman’s skirt the New York Independent says: “Advocacy of a costume on the ground of hygiene and convenience is worse than useless, but an announcement that the jupe-pantalon has been seen at the Auteuil race-course is the most powerful argument it could have. If working girls had adopted it first it would have stood no chance of popular favor, but being taken up as a fad of the idle rich it may ultimately reach those who need it most.” But the Independent does not favor it.
