Sacks Stop Short
For Leg-Appeal
For the many males who
have waxed hostilely elo
quent on the chemise, a
small ray of consolation has
appeared over the .horizon.
In case you hadn't noticed
it already, Mr. Mort, New
York designer, reports that
the chemise "stops short for
leg-appeal st a new level.
This is part of the new
trend for shorter skirts,
showing more leg than last
season." -
. So if ya can't see the
waist, fellas, at least they
gave ya the gams.
