Gracie Allen Reporting
By Gracie Allen
Well, the latest war communiqués are in from Decatur, Illinois, and it seems as though the chief of police there is winning his fight against the freedom of the dress. Women wearing halters and shorts are in full flight back to the parks and beaches.
It was a close fight, at that. Police volunteers from a special suicide squad began the campaign by telling women dressed in shorts to go home and change their clothes. These forces fell back under a fierce barrage of tongue lashing, pocketbooks and shopping bags. But mechanized units in the form of police squad cars came to halt the onslaught.
Female resistance collapsed only as a result of fifth-column activities of husbands at the breakfast table complaining about the way their wives looked in shorts. It was a good try, girls. You lost, but your spirit will inspire freedom in women’s clothes everywhere. Remember Decatur!
