Pfar Dolly: I know you'll be amused
it my, funny experience this afternoon.
i\hi|p shopping I ran across a woman
who had siepped out "£. the fashion"
plates of 23 years ago! No wonder a
ctowd of boys followed in her wake,
nnd every man turned to ( smile! She
was walking clumsily. in the old fash
ioned "skirts* of our grandmothers,
twice hampered at every step. At the
corner they filled like sails, and a stray
grust blew the light material about her
waist. There, was a most Immodest
display of hosiery. Think how shivery
the poor creature must have been! But
the climax of the comedy came when
she attempted to board'a car!
With her arms burdened -with pack
she literally "stopped all over
herself!" The whole proceeding must
have been in the nature of a joke, to
kpt-vp as a warning against a return
to the absurd costumes of the past.
Think of it. Polly! Only 23 years ftffo
all women were wearing these flopping.
awkward. Impractical costumes! Think
of the Itmbs being retarded from the
natural, free movement we were cre
ated to use. and the immodesty of such
a costume In our windy climate! Like
wise think of the yards of material
needel to clothe two small legs! How
did the women of that day vault a
fence or do any mountain climbing?
How did they play golf, or tennis"
How could they even walk? Running,
of course, was quite out of the ques-

able "trouserette" costume with the
riflirulo'us "skirts" of any period, es
pecially with the awful "hoop" skirts
years ago Cdid you ever hear of
them?) and you'll not wonder that
women have*been so slow to "come
Into their own."
I've heard any mother say that a? a
young girl sKe delighted in going
damping, where she could wear a
'bloomer 11 costume all summer, for the
freedom of It was luxury to her. But
In the winter convention dictated a
return to the clumsy "skirt." It's hard
to believe, isn't it. that only a few
years ago women were so inconsistent
nnd silly? And yet, ff you read the
press of that day you'll see printed
tirades on every sheet against what
they derisively called "the harem
skirt." It was left for the women of
Hie sluggish old world civilization to
f>oint the way to our women. We
failed in thr>?e days even to profit by
'he example set us by the Chinese
who walked in our midst, with

■>> give my testimony of the
nractirability and entire suitability of
•iivided skirt (trousers if you
please) In my experience as first mate
of a ship master in his lons sea
voyages. In the wild winds of the
quarterdeck and the flooded cabin the
"skirt"' was out of question, and hence
:.eceasity of this Invention. It
was fashioned from a heavy, yard
width of cloth, folded in half for each
tag; gathered by elastic band around
the ankle, and made of sufficient
length to fall over and nearly conceal
the foot, thus closely resembling a
iklrt. Over this was worn a close flt
tinfr tunic with tull skirt, reaching just
below the knee, a loose coat of same
length <'omp>tinsr a costume that my
captain called "j.ist the thing." and
from all our crew of 35 men I never
knew the glance of derision or dis
respect.
For t*io-=<» who are determined to
wear the "hrerrhr*" too much can not
be said in favor of this costume, as
It Is far^ more modest and refined than
many of the lato freaks of fashion,
which give gratuitously to a general
public a most exaggerated outline of
woman's form t divine.
But give us now and forever the full
flowing Bkirt of graceful womanhood,
and let its substitute be known only to
camp, field and sea!
i I pray we may use some of our
-Ai'iffragette force in freeing ourselves
from the ridiculous and oppressive
in tho tyranny of fashion, and sensibly
consider the everlasting fitness of
thingsy-dress in particular.
'Let Us Be 'Mejum'
Mi»« Mary Jameson, Marshfield, Ore.
Josiah Allen's wife used to say: v
'mejum' course is allus best." That ap
plies to dress reform. We need :
we are getting it. but it Is not going
to come all at once, in the shape of the
harem skirt.
Beside, the need is not for a new
form of divided skirt, but for a cos
tume that will release the vital organs
from restraint. Now, we already have
union underwear, corsets which re
strain the hips Instead of the waist,
princess petticoats, and various forms
of graceful and beautiful one piece
dresses. With all these, almost per
fect freedom is pos»ible, and yet a
woman need not look a semi-masculine
freak, but can still be pretty and fem
inine, still indulge in dainty frills, still
be fashionable, and best of all. future
generations need not suffer.
On the other hand, the harem skirt

Shun Conspicuous Attire
Mrs. J. M. Rulb. 732 Dennett Avenue,
Fresno
The harem skirt, to my way of
thinking, Ik a freakish fad. and de
signed by those who are wise enough
to know that the more unusual and
conspicuous a garment can be turned
out the more readily will the so called
"smart dressers" fall Into line and
adopt the new fashion.
I believe there is great need of dress
reform, and the solution lies with
fathers and husbands who are over
indulgent with their wives and daugh
ters and who allow them the where
withal to satisfy every whim and
fancy. If men would shun the wearer
of a harem skirt I fancy that garment
would be relegated to the dingy attic.
Do we not invariably adorn ourselves
for Just a wee smile or word of ap
proval from the sterner sex? If there
were only women in the world who
would give a rap for harem, hobble
skirts or any other freak of fashion!
Therefore, I say, let man be master tn 4
his own household and insist upon the
women attiring thUmselves in simple,
neat gowns; anything they may choose
so long as it does not border on the
ridiculous. Good taste and simplicity
are safeguards from insults and jests.
Woman Should Keep Her Place
Milllceut Gilford, Harrison
I, for one, do not balieve In the harem
skirt. It may be better than the ordi
nary skirt in some Ways, but any
woman who wears one wishes to make
herself conspicuous. A woman should
keep her place; she shouldn't try to
adopt the fashions that are only fads.
Let the men wear the pants, not the
women. Harem skirts will soon be a
thing of the past. No woman with
any sense or any respect for her sex
would wear them, and I believe a great

Mrs. F. Lowery, *41 South Pilgrim

On riding your request for opinion!
of the harem skirt I will gladly give
mine. I say "banish it! Hiss it off the
street whenever it is worn. 1 Then no
woman with any respect for herself or
any one else will wear one. It is a,
disgrace to our sex. The harem aklrt
will cause men to become disrespectful.
The woman who wears one does not
do so for the beauty or comfort of
it, for there is none in them. She
should be classed with the men and
treated as such. These are my views
in regard to the hidfoua harem skirt.
A Question
Mr*. Margaret , Edwards, 1034 Union .
Street, San Francisco
, This is America. 'We have been given,
freedom, of speech freedom of th«
press, why not grant all freedom ;in
dress? . When a woman, endowed by the
.Creator with the "inalienable S right* of t
i equality, dares to buy; and wear one Of "
the skirts with slight division at the
, bottom, why should the rest of her sex
mock or deride her bravery? ' >'<*.
WHAT SHALL MILADY PUT ON?—FOR PRIZES!
THE women of California are not afraid to say what they think.
Siijce the question. "What shall we do with the* harem skirt?" was
first propounded through the columns of this paper, the feminine
readers of the Sunday section have been responding in a manner which
speaks well for their intelligence and fearlessness. Letters are
received evcrv day from all over the state, no two alike, in \vhicb the
writer frankly and forcibly* states her reasons for likinp or disliking
the invasion of the much heralded skirt. While there -ire a number who
cling to the present day one piece skirt, they are Rreatly in tho minority,
and the general trend of opinion seems to swing toward the new
fashion. i
However, there are many who anprove of tho new skirt for tramp
ing or horseback riding only, and believe that it rhould not he obtruded
on the vision of a ballroom assembly; while tl iust :is many
who claim that the harem skirt, made up in materials, is
clumsy and awkward, and that it should be relegated to the ase of
evening dress.
There is much talk of dress reform, and now is the time to brina:
it to pass, if that is what the women of California honestly want. If
you have an expression of opinion on the subject, no matter how radi
cal, let us have it. Every bit helps. And for the two best letters sent
in each week The Call will award two prizes in (flyer ware. These
letters must necessarily be out of the ordinary. J'hey must be clever
and entertaining and well written. The letters «Would not exceed .300
words in length, and must be written on one side of the paper only.
The nuestion is. "What shall we do with the harem skirt? 1" It may Jje
that many fail to approve of the new garment in any instance. If *o,
put in your plea, and so help your own cause along. There can not be
too much said about the matter, for dress reform is one of the most
vital questions of the day concerning women. Write to the symposium
editor, The Call, San Francisco.

Mlv Frances Mentor, 307 Scott Street, Snn Francisco
Only grant the harem skirt life
enough for the process of evolution
to eliminate its undesirable features.
and we shall have accomplished Utopia**
in the matter of woman's dress.
Why fear to ape tho sex masculine?
Because man has come first Into the
possession of all the conveniences is
no reason we should stand back with
a divine respect for liis monopoly. We
can do no wiser than to follow in the
footsteps of our betters. Mankind, un
willing to be hampered and Inventive,
has achieved the best and most prac
tical solution of the problem. Why,
then, not enjoy the fruits of his irt-
gemilty?
There Is nothing offensive to one's
sense of refinement In the pantaloon
skirt. Nothing could be more decor
ous than the Chinese woman's costume
and no panel blushes for its bifurca
tion. Wo need not dread becoming
"mannish." Sex is not an acquired
characteristic.
What Women Wear
Leaore Peter*, 2514 Pine Street, San
Francisco.
I mean not *to disprove what other
and wiser ones have said, but "here
lam to speak what I do know": That
for many months past, our streets have
been flooded with beautiful women and
lithe and shapely girls In indescribable
but certainly delightful costumes. I
am led to believe that the cause of
thla sudden appearance of so much
loveliness Is traceable to the great dic
tators at Paris, who through their re
markable agency spread broadcast cer
tain styles of wearing apparel that are
unfailingly contagious.
In the matter of criticising* female
attire. It is too often those who have
nothing to sh,ow who cry down the
clinging garments that "show the fig
ure," now very much in vogue. This
Is too bad. What is more beautiful
than woman's figure? Why hide it in
an overindulgence in skirts and flounc
ing*, said to be more feminine, that are
not necessary as a ooverinjr and only
take from the graceful motions of the
body? It is not the clothes that make
us feminine or otherwise, and beauty
Is a thing to rejoice in. Let us. who
have none, not begrudge the pride of
it In others.
As far as the Immediate harem* Is
concerned, from those I have seen In
The Bunday.CikJl. for instance, or in shop
windows, I gather there are; two varie
ties. One Is the ordinary, well'known
"divided" skirt, : as" worn by equestri
ennes, anJ the other Is a beautiful, filmy
thin* which, Is every bit as graceful
as the* accepted > evening.; gown;, and
surely, * : O sisters, no more Immodest!
; One ■ is simply a novelty: to delight the
senses of -: the , social butterfly In search
of something: new. and the other? Well,
I can see In it no advantage over the
ordinary plain or plaited walking skirt,
■with: a view to comfort, and in appear
ance iit Is . much r the same.

Women Should Wear Knee
Trousers
Gladys Dome, ■ JIB© ; Stuart Street,
>; ■ .Berkeley.
I have never seen a harem skirt;
therefore tan not express a positive
opinion In regard to It. However, from
what I have read, I do not think it fills
the long felt want In skirt reform.
Why stop half way? When we wish to
cross a river or the bay, do we go as
far as the, middle of the stream and
stop? No; we go across to the other
side. So why should we stop half way
In skirt reform? A woman should not
wear her husband 1* trousers; there
should be a distinction between a
woman's and a man's dress. She should
be as womanly, dainty and modest as
possible, yet possess health and com
fort. She nhould wear pants. Not
bloomers, but pants, made plain, no
plaits, no puckers; fastened with a rub
ber drawstring Just below the knee,
finished with a pretty bow and buckle!
.Immodest? No. Since woman is a
biped, why should she be ashamed to
admit that she has two legs? in some
countries It 1* Immodest for a woman
to appear in public without a veil; a
few years ago it was very immodest for
a woman to appear astride a horse, but
common sense overruled prejudice.
Away with such false modesty. Let us
be truly modest, dainty and womanl/.
Throw off the relic of the dark ages
the flopping skirt—and wear knee
l>ants:
From a practical and financial view
point the advocates of the harem
skirt have all the arguments. Take
a singie Instance—the curtailing of
the it agger ing laundry bills for the
expensive and perishable lingerie. And
what a boon to business women and
shoppers, if only for the fact that Its
capacious pockets (which, if not yet
her>\ will noon arriv«) will supplant
the cumbersome and easily misplaced
handbag. Anain. the rainy day ago
nies of flopping, wet and mud bedecked
skirts shall have passed.
Let not the fat woman tremble.
What man of "00 pounds ever looked
as obese as his sister of corresponding
avoirdupois?

been broached and that the idea of

and overwhelming vanity rings its
knell.
A Southern Woman's Views
Mm. A. Wyatt, 3300 Brookdale Avenue,
Frultvale
We are too narrow minded and quick
to resent Innovations. It is the creature
and not the creation that sometimes
sends us from the sublime to the ridic
ulous. A modified harem skirt, mod
estly and becomingly worn, would In
turn excite admiration and commend
itself even to nTEre men. It is not al
ways what you wear but the way you
it that makes you ridiculous. The
bustle and hoopskirt (I am a southern
woman) aroused the Ire and condemna
tion of all men, and some of the south
ern states legislated against them, but
in time no woman was considered
dressed without them, "We were caus
tically criticised for riding the bicycle
and bloomers. Vghl they were unmen
tionable. The divided skirt for horse
back riding was a profanation, etc.,
etc. Before Miss- Claire Whitney dis- ;
charges another fustian fury of tirade j
against reform in dress, 'twere well for |
her to consider that dozens of yards
of heavy dress goois dangling about
the pedal extremities of a rhinoceros
would in time render that poor ani
mal pigeontoed and bowlegged. Why
should we care for man's opinion on
dress reform? Let him go back to his
long hair, ruffles and flowing robes be
fore he qualifies to regulate our habili
ments. Some women can do more to
unsex themselves in politics and plat
form orations, in which they often
make a great show of words upon a
small capital of ideas, than in adopting
a sensible dress reform. It Is some
times better to disclose one's imper
fections than to vulgarly display a
sacred perfection. I am making no
special plea for the harem skirt, but
there are worse things paraded before
us every day without adverse comment.
To the pure, etc.
Use Reason
Joaepblae G. Peoples, Coqullle. Ore.
Of course let the harem skirt be worn
at the right time and by the right peo
ple. A large woman can wear plaids,
if she has intelligence enough to se
lect the right plaid and have her gown
made in the right way.
Extremes of style should be adopted
only by ppople. who can afford the
change with all trie dainty accessories
that usually accompany any radical
costume. If you could not have afford
ed the dainty silk hose and the velvet
or suede pumps, what a. failure your
hobble gown would have been.
Women make a mistake when they
take new styles into places where they
ha\*e never been shown before. Drop
ping Into Market street In a harem
»klrt before that style has been intro-
duced there, would be as startling to
the masses as the fox is to hounds
when they raise their hue and cry.
Why rave ami rant over what is
bound to come, if not for a year and
a day, for a time at least? Wear the
new styles with reason and you will
?ause people to wonder what they ever
found In them that wa& ridiculous.
Givs Her Free Rein
Catherine Stewart, 117 West Seventh Street, Haufnrd
What shall we do with the harem
Skirt?' Consider It, of course, care
fully, logically, without prejudice, as
being one of the questions of the day, a
direct product of our growing civiliza
tion. It is merely a phase, to be sure,
but as such should have due considera
tion. No fair minded woman will dis
miss a subject merely because she is
not particularly Interested in the prob
lem it presents, but, on the contrary,
will consider it for the benefit of others
who are more vitally concerned.
It is but a few years since woman
rame Into her own. and if she is a little
hasty in her conclusions and uncertain
as to her purposes, who shall blame
her? She is still a bit giddy from the
success of her strike for liberty and a
trifle breathless from the efforts she
has put forth. Time was when she was
the chattel of her lord and master and
whs the living embodiment^ of his
ideas, the result of what he* deemed
proper for her kind. Now that is all in
the past, and if her eyes are somewhat
dazzled by the light of her largpr lib
erty they will soon become accustomed

for. She has passed from the languidly
elegant creattire of a century ago to
the capable, self-reliant woman of to
day, losing none of her •womanliness,
but gaining an added poise and balance,
which only makes her charm more po
tent. Granted, we have the masculine
woman, who appears to have forgotten
or thrown off the feminine, but she is a
very small part of the woman world.
We have always had her since the days
of Jezebel, just as we have always had
the Ahabs of history. If the masculine
woman wants the harem skirt, why.
bless her lieart, let her have It. She
will soon bm that «he ha* adopted the
less popular side of the question and
will abandon it of herself, for no true
woman wants to be thought queer and
eccentric and the other kind are not
worth considering. Moreover, to say
to a woman thou shalt not have a thing
only means that she will move heaven
and earth to secure it. i>o let the fad
