Browning never wrote it that way, but then Browning never saw a miniskirt. And the miniskirt capital of the world is located, according to some competent critics, in Manhattan. Testing that proposition, 1 made inquiry the other day of a new arrival from Iowa.

"Do the girls dress like that in Des Moines?" 1 asked. "Gosh no," said he. There was a time last winter when 1 feared for the miniskirt trend. Trend Proves Temporary The tials seemed to he swapping short skirts for long pants at an alarming rate. But now the onset of fine weather indicates they merely were protecting themselves from the cold blasts of winter rather than from the hot stares of girl watchers.

U'ith spring dresses abloom, you would think the watchers would be out in force. I suppose they are, but not hereabouts in the sense of on the corner and watching the pretty girls go by. You stand on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 51st Street, say, and you're likely to find yourself trampled underfoot by mostly female phalanxes. The sidewalk traffic, as well as the atito traffic, is simply awe inspiring. Pursuing my editorial investigations, I asked one of the stenographers in the office what she thoueht of the mini trend.

"It really is something," she conceded. "Going through some stores last weekend 1 was shocked by the clothes on the manikins. The skirls were up to here." Men Kail To Show Shock She indicated an interesting anatomical bench mark, considerably above the reach of her own mini. Being conscientious about surveys. I asked a young man loo.

"The styles are fine by me." he said. If he was shocked, he did a good job of keeping his emotions under control. Another youth elaborated, "You get calloused to seeing those legs, but I don't think you ever gel over being surprised." One surprise I've had to pui up with lately is ihe appearance of sleek, dark, seamless nylon hose that extends clear out of sight and spotlights a well turned teg in a fashion never achieved by contoured stockings, knee length socks or bare skin. I cannot say, however, that this shocks me. Of course it's us old codgers who are most immune to reasons other than you might suppose.

U'e're the ones who well remember those girls of the flaming youth generation who wore skirts not too much longer than the ones they're wearing now. And that, mind you, was before the invention of pantyhose. SCHOOL COSTS SOAK i CARACAS Veney.uela has built 1,037 school buildinys with classrooms for 000 students in the past 10 years.
