Charm: The Short on Short-Pants

Dear Reader,

To-day's lesson is one that is looking forward to the warm, summer months when the fashions change and we set aside our heavy winter coats and rubbers for something more delicate and feminine. Conversely, what I am talking about to-day is short-pants. Many of you girls think that short-pants are a "must have" for summer, but I must protest. Unless you have been approached by an agency requesting your legs for modeling purposes, you should not be wearing them. Short-pants are for children and not appropriate for the charming lady's (or gentleman's, for that matter) wardrobe. Even the most slender and dainty among you should dress more modestly--wear a nice skirt or some linen trousers. They are much more becoming--who wants to go around looking at someone's ugly, knobby knees? All knees look like that, so do not fool yourself, dear reader, into thinking that yours are attractive. The one exception to this rule is on the tennis court--then by all means, wear your whites!

Until next time...
