Girls Drive Manufacturers Mad Demanding Longer Skirts
New York—(UP)—The difference between a woman and a girl today may be the length of her skirt.
the longer ones, it appears, belong to the girls.
it's the word from St. Louis, where dress manufacturers set both and their prices for the college girl and her working sister.
While most New York manufacturers were busily cutting at least an inch off their dresses to them between 12 and 14 inches from the floor, the St. Louis folk came up with an apology for the shortness of one costume hemmed at that modest mid-calf length.
The right skirt, as they figure it is about 10 inches off the floor.
"The girls seem to want them that way." a spokesman for the industry said. "They can always hack them off, after all, if they change their minds."
Other ideas the girls appear to have sold their dressmakers are simplicity and low prices.
All the costumes showed modification of last season's exaggerated styles. Back "interest" and skirt fullness have both toned down. There are no bouncy bustles and the peplums ripple with extreme modesty.
A few dresses have wide panels of un stressed pleats or all around lightly gathered skirts. As many are outright slim. The majority stick to a happy in-between of flared skirts or achieve softness with a few pleats or gathers. New is a slim skirt with fullness in pleats or flare beginning just above the knee.

Don't Worry About Lana Leave Your Hair Long
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood—(UP)—The movie stars' milliner says short haircuts have been the biggest boon to hat business since the three-propeller beanie.
Most movie queens who have their hair cropped on Monday rush to Kenneth Hopkins on Tuesday. They want a bonnet to cover up the damage.
"An actor's wife came in," Hopkins whispered, "and begged for a hat to match her nightgown. She said* she'd rather her husband saw her!."
Personally, Hopkins likes the short bobs, and he's turning out seads of little hats to make pert-haired women even perter. But he says the girls have to face facts: Jane Russell just doesn't look good in Barbara Stanwyck's hair-do.
"Short bobs can make a glamour girl look wonderful," he said, "but they can make her look pin-headed, freshly scaled and bottom-heavy."
"Some girls feel as embarrassed as a cocker spaniel who has been clipped for the summer."
Irene Dunne had her hair cut short and shrank when she looked in the mirror. She now wears a heavy braid to cover the dabble.
One woman who buys Hopkins hats even had to see a psychoanalyst as a result of her haircut.
"The short haircut is no more for every woman," Hopkins said, "than the butch haircut is for every man. Imagine James Mason with his hair cut an inch from his skull. Even his cats wouldn't recognize him." Venus de Milo, for instance, is the type that shouldn't wear short hair. She'd look like the bottom part of a triangle. Many actresses, unfortunately, now do.
"She felt like she had to have a lot of new clothes, she and her husband started quarreling, and she couldn't stand the sight of herself in the mirror," he related. "So she went to a psychoanalyst.
"Now her hair is growing out, and she thinks the psychoanalyst is wonderful."
If you're thinking of cutting your hair, Hopkins suggests you pin it up and see how you look—in a full-length mirror.
From a business standpoint, Hop
If you're extremely tall, heavy, or well-endowed like Jane Russell, you probably won't like it. The short bob just does something to well-endowed women, fore and aft
"It's foolish to follow the fad if it isn't becoming." Hopkins said. "Stick to your long hair, as plenty of stars are doing—and don't worry about keeping up with Lana."
kins ought to keep quiet about it. Short-haired women are rushing in for hats to hide things the way people rush to a drugstore for aspirin.
You Can't Escape Them— Even Within a 35-Mile Radius
Las Vegas, Nev.—(UP)—Link Waters, a farmer of Fort Dodge, Ia., decided he wouldn't drive all the way into Los Angeles on a visit because he had heard the accident rate there was high.
On the return trip he was driven back to his car and headed for Las Vegas. When he stopped for a traffic light in the desert town, another automobile plowed into him
Instead, he parked 35 miles outside town and had relatives drive out to pick him up.
It was a Los Angeles car
