The tabb§ tread is mak- ing the debutante slouch of the flap- per as much of a back number in locomotion as the kangaroo walk of the original Gibson girl. If you can' get about ds neatly as a cat does you are bound to look well in the narrow, slinky frocks fashion decrees. 1f you don't--will, you may not. The fashionable walk is not par- ticularly a natural onée--any more than the common variety of walk is natural for & baby. The manne- quins in the fashionable London shops where it originated practice It for hours with their back as semi- circular es it is possible to make it and with arms outstretched at the back. ; Then when they put on one of the new 1924 dress models théy look as it they were wearing some entirely pew line of fashion. In reality all they are doing is to wear the same little tube frocks with new effect. Gives Credit To Oat.
