Boston Common Introduced to Feminine Trousers.
Miss Hazel Sears, a star in the cast of the Paragon Revue at Paragon Park, Nantasket, was the first to reveal the new knickers for women, and she created some excitement when she tripped unconcerned along the walks of the Common. Did folks look? They did, and looked again.

Stop, Look and Listen - Here’s the Feminine Trousers on Tremont Street.
Miss Hazel Sears, the first to wear the new costume that fashion decrees is “the” thing for women - the Knickerbocker suit - in Boston was photographed by a Post photographer yesterday afternoon as she was strolling down Tremont street in the middle of the afternoon throng. Miss Sears, a star in the cast of the Paragon Revue at Paragon Park, Nantasket, attracted all sorts of attention. Women stopped and pointed, all the men took a look, and the general trend of the comment from both sexes was that the style’s all right for women.
