I DETROIT WOMEN WEAR
i SLACKS IN FILLING
! MEN'S JOBS
| A SURVEY OF SHOPS shows
that slacks are on the gain, that
more and more their use is being
accepted where it was frowned on
before. Here are some of the ways
in which slacks have been worn in
kets-groceries now have women
driving their trucks—and the wom
en choose, for their own comfort
Several filling stations now em
ploy women as attendants, and here
again, slacks prove the “only”
clothes for the occasion.
About a dozen women taxi driv
ers have been hired by a major
cab fleet in the city; many of these
prefer slacks.
Several large industrial plants
have taken on women fer light
shop work, such as assembly and
inspection, and here, too, slacks
have been highly popular; in fact, j
some of these factories’ manage- |
qHired such clothing.
A report from the women them- j
and a wary preferred for work, as j
soon as the initial obstacle of
breaking feminine tradition has
been overcome. Bulkiness and hip
p.ncss absolutely must not be and
to overcome this fabrics should be
firm and pantie girdles or even'
girdles worn with them at all times.
Choose fabrics and beauty as
dresses.
