The imports for May were also the

WELL KNOWN WOMAN PUS
SES AWAY AT BUENA VISTA
ATLANTA, Ga., July 5.—A near,
trim little lassie passed down Peach
tree street. She wore a stylish short
skirt, walked with a free Joyous stride,
ai d most everybody on the thorough
fare turned to take a second look at
her. There was admiration in their
gaze—admiration of the wholesome
sert, save from one source. A sour-
fared woman Juat emerging from a
department store remarked:
’’That girl ought to be spanked for
wearing ftuch short aklrts! It's shock-
lug!** _
Sorry, very sorry, but the pede*
trians couldn’t agree with the criti
cism of that woman—not conscien
tiously.
Of all the beautiful things on eartn,
in the humble judgment of the report
er who is writing this story, there is
nothing more beautiful than a shapely
ankle and a graceful foot, properly
appareled—and the writer, and most
people, for that matter, are for any
thing in the way of style that displays
It.
